ANcIENTs KNEW OF GLAZING
Proof That Early Inhabitants Of Mex
leo Used Process in the Manu-
facture Of Pottery.

The discovery by Henry c. Mercer
of Daylestown.. Pa. that the ancient
inhabitants OF Mexico used glazing
process in the manufacture of their
pottery has revolutionized the views
of ceramic experts at the University
OF Pennsylvania, and may lead, says
American Art News. to the discovery
OF beds Of clay suitable for use today.
Mr.. Mercer, who is an expert on TIL
ing and former curator of the Uni
versity museum. during a recent study
of Mexican potteries at the museum,
had his attention called to the vari-
ance in workmanship in certain col
lections. He. promptly classified the,
potteries as possessing two different
kinds of clay. and was surprised to
find that distinct glaze was still
apparent
The ancient Egyptians, says Mr..
Mercer. did not glaze their works. the
Chinese adopting this precaution at a
later date to make their vessels i'm
peryious to water. Civilization had
been established by this time, how
ever, and the use of the glazing art
by prehistoric Mexicans may unfold
interesting ceramics.

DESPERATE BATTLE.


Juarez. May 1.-THE most desper-
ate battle of the present Mexico Revo-
luton was fought last night at Tam
pico, according to reports reaching
constitutionalist officials here. Some
Of the oil wells and tanks are burn
ing and a portion of the town is on
fire. Hundreds are said to have been
killed.
Seven thousand Constitutionalists
under Generals Pedro Gonzales and
Luis Caballero are engaged.
General Jesus Carranza with his
brigade was thought to form a part OF
the force attacking Tampico but 1t
was learned that it had been decided
that lie was needed in the campaign
on Saltillo. and the Carranza brigade
was sent back to Monterey.
All Americans have been taken
aboard the United States warships,
but other foreigners are scattered
throughout the oil well district. 1t
was this section of the battlefield that
the United States government sug-
gested should be made a neutral zone.
The Constitutionalist generals refused
to adopt this suggestion.
BY the light of the blazing oil tanks
fired by stray shots. the rebel artii
lerymen hurled shot after shot from
twenty heavy field-guns into the
strongly-entrenched position held by
General Ignacio Morelos Zaragonza
the FEDERAL commander. in the center
of the town. sweeping the breastworks
with hail of shrapnel in an effort
to open the way for dash by Gen
eral Pablo Gonzales infantry.
For the first time in the fighting
between the men of Huerta and Car
rama, the Constitutionalists were on
equal terms with the Federa1s in the
matter of artillery.
The twenty French field guns cap
tured by General Gonzales at Monte
rey and placed in position before Tam
pico have done tremendous execution,
the French shrapnel bursting with the
utmost precision in sharp contrast to
the homemade shells used by villa
in his battles about Torreon.
General Gonzales, advancing from
the north under cover of the artillery
fire. seized n portion of the outskirts
of the city and maintained his posi-
tion.
