GLASS OF THE ANClENTS.

The Blowers of Thebes Were Experts
Many Centuries Ago.
The gIassblowers OF ancient Thebes
are known to have been as proficient
in that particular art as Is the most
of the present day after a 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
case the color is struck through the
vitrifed structure, and he mentions de
signs struck entirely In pieces from
half inch to three-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 glassmaker'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 colored 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
to distinguish the genuine article from

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

People who suffer with the liver and
who get pan down in nerve strength
sometimes complain that quinine does
them no good. says a physician. The
reason is this: When quinine passes
into the intestine it ia acted on by the
bile and forms with it salt that is
soluble only in a great excess Of bile.
so it passes out Of the system without
entering the blood at ali. 10 prevent
this bilious persons ought to clear out
the bile by a good liver pill or a saline
purgauve before the qulnine Is taken.
Even when the liver is not affected ii
is always best TO take stlch medicines

THE ATMOSPHERE.
First Attempt to Weigh 1t Was Made
by Aristotle,

First Attempt to Weigh 1t Was Made
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 1t and again put
it 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 a 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 uu-
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 to that Of solid
copper ball sixty-tvo 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 it were Of equal
density throughout its height above the
earth, it could not extend a greater alti-
tude than 27.s1S feet. which would
leave about 200 feet of Mount Ever
est sticking out above the atmosphere.
II Is a we'll known fact. however, that
ascend from the sea level. and calcula-
tions which have been made on that
basis go TO show that there may be a
stratum of very thin air at a height Of
21.000 miles.

EXPLOSION KILLS

SOLE SURVIVOR OF UNFORTUN-

OVER HOUSETOP.
Dynamite or Leaking Gas Are the
Possible Solutions of the
Mystery.

San Francisco, June 30.-Four
persons are dead and three others
seriously injured as a result of ter
rife explosion, followed by fire, which
occurred at an early hour today in the
grocery store of John Sweeny, 2796
Diamond street.
The dead are: John Sweeny, Mrs
Sweeny, Ella Sweeny, aged 10; An
ton Dissmeyer, Jr., aged 3.
The injured: Fred Sweeny, An
J. ton Dissmeyer, ST.. Miss Mary Diss-
meyer, who probably will die; about
ten others escaped
Sweeny, proprietor of the grocery
store, lived with his family in a fiat
above the store, and adjoining the
latter was the saloon of S. f. John
son, with the Dissmeyer family occu-
plying the fiat above it. So terrific
was the force of the explosion that
Fred Sweeny, aged %, sleeping near
a window, was thrown through it
over the roof of one-story building
adjoining.
The cause Of the explosion is a
mystery which the police are trying
to solve There was no gas used in
the building, and it is said there
were but five gallons of kerosene in
the grocery store at the time. The
only theories advanced are dynamite
or an accumulation of gas under the
building from a leak in the mains.
The Sweeny family had given the
store into other hands and intended
to leave this morning on an extended
vacation.

1t is estimated that it will require
20 carloads of bags to hold the grain
crop of Eastern Washington which will
be harvested during the coming fall,
and the first two carloads of the Cal
cutta product have just been received.
An average car will carry about 80, 900
sacks, or 80 bales. These bags are
made in Calcutta from Indian jute,
and are shipped to Portland or the
Sound. This year the price is lower
than it has been in many years, fair
average being $7.3O laid down here.
Last year the price ranged near 10
cents, and the year previous the top
was II cents. In addition to the Cal
cutta product shipped to this section
the state penitentiary furnishes this
year about 500, coo sacks, all made in
the state prison. These bags have
been sold at; $3.50 free on board at
the prison.
