ANCIENT GLASS VESSELS _ ♦ In. a, "Book of Curiosities" we road: "There was an artificer in Koine who made vessels of glass of so tenacious a temper that they were as little liablo to bo broken as those that are made of gold and silver. When, therefore, ho had made a phial of the purer sort, and such as ho thought a present worthy of Caesar alone, ho was admitted into the presence of the then Emperor Tiberius. The gift was praised, the skilful hand of tho artist applauded, and the donation of tho giver accepted. The artist, that ho might enhaneo the wonder of tho spectators, and promote himself yet further in the favour of tho Emperor, desired the phial out of Caesar's hand, and threw it with such force against the floor that tho most solid metal would havo received some damage or bruise thereby. Caesar was not only amazed,, but affrighted with the act; but the artist, taking up the phial from tho ground (which had , not broken, but only bruised together, as if tho substance of ths glass had put on the temperature of brass), drew-out au instrument from his bosom and beat it out to its former figure This done, ho imagined that ho had conquered the world, as believing that he had merited an acquaintance with Caesar and raised the admiration of all the beholders. But it fell out otherwise, for tho Emperor inquired if any other person besides himself-was privy to the like tempering of glass. When he had told him 'No,' ho commanded his attendants to strike off his head, saying, 'That should this artificer como oneo to be known, gold and silver would bo of as littlo value as tho dirt in the street.' Long after this—viz., ICI0 —wn road that among other rare presents then snnfc from the Sophy of Tors in. to (ho King of Spain were si.v mirrors of lmillpfiblfi glass so exquisitely tempered Hint thry could not. be broken."
