Old Roman Windows.

The houses Of rich people in ancient
Rome, In the days Of the Caesars, had
window panes Of glass set in frames
of bronze. They were uneven and full
Of defects so that the view Of things
outside. from inside, must have been
rather unsatisfactory. But at that
time they were doubtless regarded as
the height of luxury. Such panes We're
not blown, but cast on stone. When
used for public buildings they were set
In pierced slabs of marble.

spectacles once a sian Of Wealth.

Spectacles We're invented in Italy
about 1885. They were at first very
expensive, SO were worn only by
wealthy persons or noblemen and so
came to be regarded as mark OF
rank. The larger the spectables the
higher the rank, and so the glasses
grew to prodigious size. There are
two or three busts extant OF Italian
gentlemen wearing specs" and IN
one OF these cases the lenses are three
inches In diameter. r
