GLASS OF THE ANClENTS.
The blowers of Thebes Were Experts
Many Centuries Ago.

The glassblowers Of ancient Thebes
are known TO have been as proficient
| in that particular art as is the most
scientific craftsman Of the same trade
! OF the present day after lapse or
/ forty centuries of so called progress"
! They are well acquainted with the
art of staining glass and are known TO
have produced that commodity in
! great profuslOn and perfection. Ros-
sellni gives an illustration Of Il piece OF
stained glass known 10 be 1000 years
old, both in tint and design. In this
case the color is struck through the
vitrifed structure, and he mentions de
signs struck entirely in pieces from Il
half inch 10 thrcc-quarters Of an inch
thick. the color being perfectly incor-
pOrated with the structure Of the piece
and exactly the same on both the OBJ
verse and reverse sides.
The priests Of Ptah at Memphis were
adopts in the glassmakcr's art, and not
only did they have factories for manu-
featuring the common crystal variety,
but they had learned the vitrifying OF
the different cOlOrs and the Imitation
of precious stones to perfection. Their
limitations Of the amethyst and Of the
various other colorcd gems were so
true to nature that even now, after
they have lain in the desert sands from
1000 to 1000 years, it takes an expert
10 distinguish the genuine article from

besides being experts in glassmaklng
and glass coloring. they used the dia-
mond in cutting ana engraving glass.

II is understood that the Gibson

THE ATMOSPHERE.
First Attempt TO Weigh II Was Made
by Aristotle.

II we are TO believe both legend and
history, the first attempt TO weigh air
was that made by Aristotle, the great
Greek philosopher Of the fifth century.
He first weighed an empty goatSkin
bag and then inflated it and again put
Il I'm the balances, and because he
found no difference i'm weight under
the two conditions announced to the
world that air was "A substance wholly
without weight.
with modern laboratory apparatus
most any high school scholar can dem
onstrate the fact that flask Of ten
cubic inches capacity weighs fully
three grains more when filled with air
than il does after being placed under
the exhaust of an air pump. The nu-
mcrous experiments that have been
made on the weight of air warrant the
scientists in announcing that the
weight of the whole terrestrial atmos
phere is about equal TO that OF solid
copper ball siXty-two miles in diameter.
The philosophers have also shown that
the weight Of the atmosphere must be
limited to where gravity OvcrCOmcs the
centrifugal force. If il were Of equal
density throughout its height above the
earth, il could not extend greater alti-
tude than 2T,SlS feet, which would
leave about 100 feet OF Mount Ever
est sticking out above the atmosphere.
II is II well known fact, however, that
air loses its weight and density as we
ascend from the sea level, and calcula-
tlons which have been made on that
basis go TO show that there may be Il
stratum Of very thin air at height OF
81 900 miles.

SPEED OF ANIMALS.
The Greyhound Leads, Followed by
the Horse and the Red Deer.

the horse anu the hed Deer.
The following interesting letter con-
serning the relative speed OF animals
appeared in the London Field:
The fastest animal we have Is the
greyhound. The next are the race
horse, the red deer and the hare, and
then comes the good, big, bold dog
fox, which is a fine galloper OH good
going. In comparison with any OF
the above the fastest foxhound on
sound fiat turf is as slow as u man
moving grass for haymaking. But IL
you radically alter the trial ground the
above does not hold good. For instance,
Oh rough clOds, whether melted or not,
u hare cannot run at all; hence she gen
orally takes care not TO 20 there, and
where greyhOunds are kept she habitu-
ally lies in her form near the fringe Of
q rough falow that when coursed she
may quickly be on good going. With
such long, powerful hind legs hare
can beat anything up a steep hill. A
foXhOund can easily beat any horse
over deep clay plow, because the horse
weighs aS much as twelve hounds and
therefore sinks deeply. In stag hunt
ing the red deer tires earlier than the
blood hunter, though the horse may not
be faster, but great consideration must
be made for the discretion OF a good
hOrscman, who avoids exhausting deep
ground which the deer plods through.
A run of eight miles within the hour
in either Of the three wet wintry
months would leave the body of the
field behind, but it would be easy to a
riding man on gallopng horse when
the March winds have dried the coun-
try and the obstacles are only ordinary.

CONNECTS THE BRAIN.
The OrgHn That Enables the Hemi-
spheres to Act In Harmony.


Near the base of every well organ
lied human brain there is situated
curious little spongy body called the
corpus calloSum. This all important
little organ consists of double chain
of white nerve Gbers, and It is through
these that the two portions (hemi-
sphercs) of the brain are enabled to act
in harmony 10y being continually
brought into anatomical and physiolog-
ical relations with each other
Several years ago well known Phil
adclphia physician and surgeon, Dir.
4. II. stevens, made the announcement
that, i'm his belief, the corpus callosum
was the seat Of the soul. His peculiar
ideas were given quite an airing
through the press at that time, but the
whole theory fell pretty fiat when DR..
A. +. Sawyer of San Francisco proved
that a certain west coast worthy had
survived twenty years after having the
entire corpus callosum shot out Of his
thought tank and that another had
lived eleven years after sustaining n
similar injury. The psychologists were
pretty well agreed that mans life
would terminate the moment his soul
made its exit on the lead Of a pistol
cartridge II was these well atteSted
cases of men living after losing the cor
pus callosum that caused DR.. Stevens
''soul theory to relapse into obscurity.

The General Assembly can be Justly

elections the people of Rhode Island
would rise in righteous Indignation
