For 1000 years the Faust Legend

For 1900 years Faust legend
the sale of a human soul to a devil
has existed. The first recorded hint of
its vitality is given in the sixth CEN
tury story Of "Theophilus." That story
suited the early Christians in their
devices of evilly disposed persons prone
to seek owe by unholy means. The
association Of the name of Faust, how
ever, with the legend is not more than
400 rel old. The likeliest prototypes
of the modern Faust is the man of
h same name who in Cracow bold
ly proclaimed himself a professor of
magic. In the sixteenth century stories
Helen of Troy was bestowed by Me-
~phistopheles Upon Faust, and not I'M

On the west coast of India is found
a species of oyster, placuna placenta,
whose shell consists of a pair of rough
ly circular plates about six inches in
diameter, thin and white. AT present,
these oysters are collected for the
pearls which they often contain, al
though few are fit for the use OF the
3eweler. But in the early days of Eng
lish rule in India, the shells were en-
ployed for window panes. Cut into lit
tie squares, they produced a very pref
~ effect, admitting light like frosted
glass. When the Bombay cathedral
was built, at the beginning OF the
eighteenth century, its windows were
PANIED with these oyster shells. In Goa
they are still thus employed.
