Venetian Mirror Makers
Once Had World Monopoly

In picturesque Venice, the center OF
the arts during the Middle ages. few
clever experlmenters rediscoyered the
old secrets OF mirror making and even
improved upon the ancient master
pieces. They made an amaigam OF
lead and tin with which they "sii-
yered" their mirrors, and conquered
the attention OF all Europe. and the
other parts OF the world then com
mereially known.
Venetian mirrors were almost price
less, so highly were they esteemed.
Vincent de Beauvais, writing In 100,
declared that the mirror OF glass and
lead was a marvel and the best OF all.
Kings tried 10 make arrangements
through special emlssaries and am
bassadors 10 have mirror makers
come 10 their courts-but In vain.
The Venetian doges proclaimed a law
that any glass maker carrying his ART
into a foreign state should be forced
10 return; II he did not, his closest
relatives were arrested and impris-
oned as hostages.
Should he still remain at the court
OF foreign king, special agents we're
sent TO kin him and destroy his esiab-
lIshment. This state OF Affairs last
ed until the reign OF Louis XIV OF
France, when Colbert, the famous
minister, began 10 break up the
Venetian monopoly OF mirror making.
In the face OF all the disastrous laws
OF Italy. he imported twenty artisans
from the mirror guild of Venice. and
established them in Paris in the Eau
bourg ST. Antoine, where they enjoyed
the protection and patronage OF the
king.
Thus was the mirror industry frmiy
established in France. Later on, when
II WAS safe. these artisans were dis
tributed 10 other parts OF the king
dom. and several manufactures start
ed IN the provinces.

Creature of Mystery
Found in Ant Colony

The most mysterious parsonage in
a colony OF African driver ants Is
creature perhaps an inch and half
long and three-quarters OF an mch
high. Ii is not an ant. In fact, SO
far as science is concerned, says Prof.
X. l.. Garner In the Century maya
zine, II is as yet unclassified.
In comparison with the ants, con
tinues Professor Garner, Il Is enOr-
nous. The creature-there is only
one TO a colony-looks for all the
world like tiny elephant In circus

it's sex is is doubtful. Several OF the
driver ants were taken to Germany q
few years ago and examined, but no
important knowledge was gained. Per
sonally ! have never captured one Of
the creatures. but ] strongly suspect
that IL Is really the queen OF the col
ony. For In all species OF the nymen-

appears TO be an anomalous creature,

members OF the colony and always

The announcement said hat the
fact that Morton S. Hawkins, presi

by loan sharks throughout the State
in an attempt to wreck Welfare Loan
