blowing glass, and SO to that mag
nifcent city 1t became a secret
monopoly that was guarded as life
itself. The Inquisition of State
prescribed death to glass workers
who took their art elsewhere.
II mirrors have meant much to
women, SO did a woman mean
much to mirrors, for it was a
woman who lost for Venice her
world supremacy. Marietta, a
daughter of Beroviero, a glass
maker of the Fifteenth Century,
was greatly beloved by her father,
and entrusted with the secrets Of
his craft. But Marietta loved
Giorgio, an artisan, and for love
she told him the secrets which he
sold to foreigners, enriching him
self, but bringing ruin to the in
dustry Of his city.
Thrifty American Colonists.
In 1450 Venetian glass makers
were imprisoned in London by re-
quest of the Council of Venice,
for plying their art in a foreign
land. They were given the privi-
lege Of working out their fine in
their trade, under the eyes OF
watchful observers. Thus was
glass making introduced into Eng
land.
The first glass factory in the
United States was also the first
factory in the United States. 1t
was built in the woods near James
town in 1908. 1t proved very USE
full in buying up tracts of land
from the aborigines. The chief
product was glass beads, and they
so captivated the fancy of the ma
tives that the thrifty immigrants
shortly were in possession of all
the territory east of the Appa-
lachians. Other glass bead fac
tories sprang up, proving a cheap
and profitable kind of mint. One
a established near Hanover
Square in New Amsterdam to
give the Dutch burghers a chance
to recoup their fallen fortunes aft
err paying s24 for Manhattan Is
land.
A Modern Miracle.
In glass manufacture the mod
ern world excels the ancient in
n particular-the modern world
produced plate glass.
II the modern world had not
done this Alice would see more
than a pretty face in her mirror.
She would sec flaws and blem-
ishes-not in her face, but In the
mirror.
And on the avenue, In the shop
windows, the beautiful things to
buy would not stand out so clearly
and 10 alluringly, apparently sep.
arated from the beholder only by
the atmosphere.
Men realized that windows were
to see through, not to see-so they
made plate glass.
For now we see rs through q
glass, darkly," wrote Paul to the
Corinthians. In the days OF
plate glass Paul would have used
another smile.
A Cross-Seetion of Centuries.
Plate glass was first made in
France in 1888. 1t is now made
best, and in greatest quantity, in
this country. 1t is cast, not blown.
Curiously, the making of it In
wolves processes which were used
when the Egyptians made glass
bottles for red wine in 1000 B. c.,
as we'll as processes involving the
last word in modern machines. In
a m the manufacture of a sin
gle sheet Of plate glass provides
a cross section of an industry 5000
years old.
In a building filed with over
head cranes, electrically controlled
machinery Of the utmost refine
ment, men walk in their bare feet,
day after day, tramping piles of
clay. Remove the machines, strip
the men, and let the sing of the
lash be heard over their heads,
