GLASS OF Tit ANoIENTs.
The Blowers of Thebes Were Experts
Many Centuries Ago.

Inc mowers Ol 49,
Many Centuries Ago.
The glassbowers of ancient Thebes
are known to have been as pro1cient
In that particular art as Is the most
scientific craftsman of the same trade
of the present day after lapse OF
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 profusion and perfection. Ros-
selini gives an illustration OF piece OF
stained glass known to be 1000 years
old, both In tint and design. In this
case the color is struck through the
yItrifled structure, and he mentions de-
signs struck entirely in pieces from q
half inch to three-quarters OF an lnch
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
adepts in the glassmaker's art, and not
only did they have factories for maAl-
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 or the
various other colored gems were So
true to nature that evon now, after
they have lain in the desert sands from
1000 to 1000 years, It takes an expert
to distinguish the genuine article from
the spurious. 1t has been shown that
besides being experts in glassmaking
and glass coloring, they used the dia-
mond in cutting and engraving glass.

tiful piece of stained glass, with an
engraved emblazonment OF the mon

THE ISLAND OF FIRE.
Java's wonderful Lake of Boiling
Mud and slime.

Jnva's Wonderful Lake of Boiling
Mud and slime.
The greatest natural wonder In Java,
IL not in the entire world, is the justly
celebrated Gheko Kamdka Gumko, or
Home OF the Hot Devils, known to the
world as the Island of Fire. This geo.
logical sIngulatlty Is really a lake OF
boiling mud situated at about the CEN
ter of the plains Of Grobogana and Is
called an Island because the great en-
erald sea of vegetation which surrounds
II gives 1t that appearance. The island
Is about two miles In circumference
and is situated at a distance Of almost
exactly fifty miles from Solo. Near the
center Of this geological freak immense
columns of soft hot mud may be seen
continually rising and falling like great
timbers thrust through the boiling sub
stratum by giant hands and then again
quickly withdrawn. Besides the phe-
nomenon of boiling mud columns there
are scores Of gigantic bubbles OF hot
slime that fill up like huge balloons and
keep up u series Vi COhS'ahe OAPi"''S'
the intensity of the detonations vary
ing with the size Of the bubble. In
times past, so the Jayanese authorities
say. there was tall, spirellke column
of baked mud on the west side Of the
lake which constantly belched pure
stream OF cold water, but this has long
been obllterated, and everything Is now
q seething mass Of bubbling mud and
slime. a marvel to the visitors who
come from great distances to see it.

ARNIsH ROCK.
A Lighthouse which Is without a
Light of It's Own.

A Lighthouse Which n without a
Light of It's own.
The most extraordinary Of all light
houses is to be found on Arnlsh rock,
gtornoway bay, a rock which Is sepa-
rated from the island of Lewis by q
channel over 500 feet wide. 1t is in the
Hebrides, Scotland. On this rock a
conical beacon Is erected, and on Its
summit lantern is fixed, from which,
night after night, shines q light which
IS seen by the fishermen far and wide.
Yet there is no burning lamp, in the
lantern, and no attendant ever goes to
It. for the simple reason that there is
no lamp to attend to, no wick to train
and no oil we'll to replenish.
The way in which this peculiar light
house is illuminated Is this: ION the
island Of Lewis, 500 feet or so away,
Is a lighthouse, and from window in
the tower a stream Of light is project
ed on q mirror In the lantern on the
summit Of Arnish rock. These rays
are reflected to an arrangement Of
prisms and by their action are con-
verged to a focus outside the lantern,
from which they dlverge in the neces-
sary direction"
The consequence is that to all intents
and purposes q lighthouse exists which
has neither lamp nor lighthouse keeper
and yet which gives as serviceable a
light, taking into account the require
ments Of the locality, as II an elaborate
and costly lighthouse, with lamps, serv'
Ice room, bedroom. living room, store
room, oil room, water tanks and al
other accessories, were erected on the
summit of the rock.

SKIN ECZEMA
IN WORST FORM
Black SpIOtches All Over Face =

Treatment by Physicians Did No

Alabama Ladys
CURE BY THE
CUTICURA REMEDIES

"About four years ago was afflicted
with black splotches all over my face
and few covering my body, which
produced severe itching irritation, and
which caused me great deal Of annoy
ance and suffering, to such an extent that
was forced to call in two of the leading
physicians Of my town. After a thor
ou9h examination of the dreaded COM
blaint they announced it to be skin
eczema in It's worst form. They treated
me for the same for the length of one
year, but the treatment did me no good:
"Finally | became respondent and
decided to discontinue their services.
Shortly afterwards, my husband in read
ing copy of a weekly New York
paper saw an advertisement of the Cuti-
cura Remedies. He purchased the en-
tire outfit, and after using the contents
of the first bottle of Cuticura Resolvent
in connection with the Cuticura Soap
and Ointment, the breaking out entirely
stopped. | continued the use of the
Cuticura Remedies for six months, and
after that every splotch was entirely
gone and the affected parts were left as
clear as ever. / have not felt symp-
tom Of the eczema since, which was three
years ago.
1.-The Cuticura Remedies not only
cured me of that dreadful disease,
eczema, but other complicated troubles
as well; and / have been the means OF
others being cured of the same .disease

is the best blood medicine that the world
has ever known" Lizzie E. Sledge,

The Use Of Quinine.

People who suffer with the liver and
who get run down In nerve strength
sometimes complain that quinine does
them no good, says a physician. The
reason is this: When qulnine passes
into the intestine 1t is acted on by the
bile and forms with 1t salt that Is
soluble only In a great excess Of bile,
80 II passes out Of the system without
entering the blood at all. To prevent
this bilious persons ought to clear out
the bile by a good liver pill or a saline
purgative before the quinine Is taken.
Even when the liver is not affected II
is always best to take such medicines
before using quinine.

THE ATMOSPHERE.
First Attempt to weigh IL Was Made
by Aristotle.

First Attempt to weigh IL Was MadS
by Aristotle.
If 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
II In the balances. and because he
found no difference in 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 filed with air
than It does after being placed under
the exhaust Of an air pump. The nu-
merous 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 10 tnat Oh sohu
copper ball sixty-two miles In diameter.
The philosophers have also shown that
the weight of the atmosphere must be
limited to where gravity overcomes the
centrifugal force. II 1t were Of equal
density throughout its height above the
earth, it could not extend greater alt-
tude than 27,S1S feet, which would
leave about 1000 feet OF Mount Ever
est sticking out above the atmosphere.
It is a well known fact, however, that
air loses its weight and density as we
ascend from the sea level, and calcuia-
lions which have been made on that
basis go to show that there may be q
stratum Of very thin air at height OF
$1,000 miles.

ANCIENT LIGHTHOUSE.
Beacon Lights For Mariners CoeVaA
with the Earliest Commerce.

aeacon Lights For Mariners Coera
with the Earliest Commerce.
Beacon lights to guide the wave
tossed mariner to safe harbor must
have been almost coeval with the earli-
est commerce. There is positive record
that lighthouses were built In ancient
times, though few evidences now re-
main to us from old writers or In crum-
bled ruins. This is not strange, for light
towers, never the most stable architec-
tural form, were exposed to the storms
OF sea and war.
The Greeks attributed the first light
houses to Hercules, and he was consio-
cred the protector Of voyagers. 1t is
claimed by some that Homer refers to
lighthouses in the nineteenth book OF
the ''Iliad."
Virgil mentions a light on temple
to Apollo which, visible far out at sea-
warned and guided mariners. The co
lossus at Rhodes, erected about SOC
B. c., Is said to have shown a signal
light from its uplfted hand.
/ The Oldest towers known were puii'
by the Llbyans in lower Egypt They
were temples also, and the lightkeepes
priests taught pilotage, hydrograpny
and navigation. The famous tower on
the isle of Pharos at Alexandria, built
about 2s5 B. c., Is the first lighthouse
Of undoubted record. This tower con
structed by Sostratus. the architect
was square in plan, Of great height anc
buIIt IN offsets. An open brazier at the
top of the tower contained the ruei tol
the light. AT Dover ana Bouiogne' on
either side of the English channel, were
ancient lighthouses built by the 10
mans. But the lighthouse at Coruna
Spain, built in the reign of Tra1an afc
reconstructed in 1884. is believed to b
the oldest existing lighthouse.

The Importance of disinfection Is shown
by the results obtained at the Brooklyn
Home for Consumptiyes, the finest institu-
tion of the kind in New York. A letter
from the President is quoted;
''We have used Platt's Chlorides in the
Brooklvn Home for Consumptives for more
