Massage, Lightning Rods and Glass Houses Are Ancient. figago Chronicle. biice st Washington discovery, fliké history, repeats itself, and this discoveries, continues the examiner, often struck the point of the sword, the warrior. known the lightning rod. On the top of the highest tower of the Castle of Dunio on the Adriatic there was set from time immemorial a long rod of iron. In the stormy weather of sum- mer it served to predict the approach of a tempest, A soldier was always stationed by it when the sea showed threstening signs of storm. From time to time he put the point of his long javelin close to the point of the rod. Whenever a spark passed between the two pieces of iron he rang a bell to warn the fishermen. Gerbert, in the tenth century, invented a plan for diverting the lightning from fields by planting in them long sticks tipped with very sharp lance heads. In 1662, France was already in pos- session of omnibuses. The Romans sank artesian wells even in the Sahara. In 1035, Papin published an account of an experiment made by one of his friends who caused flowers instantane- ously to prow. The secret which was not, revealed lay in the preparation of the ground, Massage is an ancient practice and was known to the Romans. Paracelsus speaks of homeopathy, saying that like is cured by like, and not con- trary by contrary. The speculum, the probe, the forceps, were known in the year 800; indeed, specimens of them have been found in the ruins of Pom- Peii, Aristotle noticed that sea water be made drinkable by boiling it, and collecting the steam. The Greeks had a woollen or linen cuirass so closely interwoven as to be impenetrable by the sharpest darts. We moderns have not found out the secret of it. The Romans had better mills than ours for pounding olives. The Chinese invented iron houses as early as 1200. Glass houses were found among the Picts in Scotland, and the Celts in Gaul and many. centuries earlier in Siam. Grass cloth was used many hundreds of years avo by the Chanese.

For instance, the ancients knew of the lightning conductor, or at all ev- ents, the method of attracting the lightning.
