Glass Blowing an Ancient Art.

The art of glass blowing Is also very
ancient and had an existence probably
1000 years before Christ. The art OF
blowing is plainly depicted upon the
tumuli of Mastaba of lib at Memphis,
and these tombs were built more than
5000 years ago. In the picture upon
them 'the blower with tube in mouth,
just the same as the present day, is
seen squatted before his furnace, ard
from the detail and perfection of
knowledge of the art evidenced in the
ancient pictures it is readily seen that
glass blowing was no new thing with
the people of that time and region
The glass blower of that day made
vases, beads. ornaments and bottles.

A s SO many American soldiers
~ are passing through London
n on their way to the western
front, the following article
from Country Life on "How to See
London In Two Days." Is timely.
In normal days, when American visi-
tors filled the hotels, sightseeing was.
In spite OF American hustle, a fairly
leisurely thing. 1t Is the soldiers who
are here today who have to be the real
hustlers. Their sightseeing has often
to be crammed into 4 day or two's
leave, and the problem OF how to see
all possible, and yet SO to see as to
store up mental pictures, clear, definite
and full OF color, ON which to draw In
pleasurable restrospecton for the rest
Of life, is one which probably few of
them are solving.
Now, the secret Of success in sight
seeing Is discrimination and selection.
Try to see everything and you see
effectively-nothing. Your thousand
Impressions are mixed. in a week they
are hard to disentangle, in a year they
have vanished. On this principle /
throw out ideas for those who have no
more than a couple Of days to give to
the work and the pleasure. On more
than one ground l should counsel the
giving up Of at least half day to out
door sightseeing. The hugeness OF
London strikes everyone who gives
days to its discovery. The best way OF
getting the same impression quickly
is to travel from end to end Of the

fires of this kind and little care in
building may prevent catastrophe.
The chimney should be built from the
ground with a substantial foundation
of masonry. The foundation should
be at least foot wider at all points
than the chimney. The use of woohen
brackets as supports should be avoid
ed. as they are liable to start fire
around the base of the chimney.
Experts advise that chimneys he
built at least three feet above fiat
roofs and two feet above the ridge or
pitched roofs. The horizontal clear

be at least II feet. If these sugges-
tons are observed the danger of fire
