An UNFORTUNATE INVENTOR.
Many Versions of What Happened to
Man, Who Made sSIaIleable Glass.

It is an interesting fact that the an
clients knew the secret of malleablecrys-
tai. In the time of Tiberius an artisan
invented malleable glass, and the shop
in which he worked was wrecked for fear
that his discovery would bring about a
and silVerware.
Pliny refers to this legend, and years
after another author relates the same
story with variations. According to him,
the artisan who was also an architect,
restored from partial ruin one OF the
handsomest of Roman porches. Tiberius
having a notorious jealousy of any man
who surpassed himself even in matters
entirely outside his province, took a Vio-
lent dislike to one who, he said, was try
ing to undermine the well-established or
der of things. Tiberius pointed out that,
if the ancient porch had not been re-
stored hundreds of workmen might have
been given labor in the construction of
a new one. The man was accordingly,
banished. Naturally, the architect rea-
Soned that if he could convince the head
of the state of the good that might result
from the numerous ideas he had evolved,
the emperor would modify his opinion
and even assist him in the maturing of
certain of his plans. So he went back
to Rome and obtained an interview with
Tiberius.
The emperor is described listening
patiently to what he had to say and
finally demanding proof. For answer the
man flung to the floor a crystal goblet,
which dented, and bent it back into shape
