Of course. there is no such thing as natural glass. It is, and always has been, a manufactured article. I l'hoenlchn Sailors Said to be Respon- Like so many other inventions. its origin is attributed to the Phoenicians who evidently discovered it by accident. A Roman historian tells us that certain sailors had a cargo of soda salt landed on the banks of a river in Palestine. Desiring to cook some food they started a fire, and not finding any stones upon which to rest their pots, they placed them upon some lumps of the soda which they brought from the ship. The result was, that the heat of the fire melted the soda and fused it with the sand of the river bank. thus producing transparent glass, for glass is made by a fusion of silica, or sand. With potash, The Greeks and the Romans acquired the art of glass-making at a very early period. In Nero’s time it was so highly developed that clear crystal glasses were produced in the form of drinking cups, which superseded the use of golden cups, and were greatly prized by the Emperors. Specimens of the early Roman glass can be seen today in the British museum. The historic Port- land Vase. now on exhibition in War- wick Castle, England, was unearthed near Rome, and it is a fine example of early Roman glass-making. It Was to the Venetians, however, that we are in- debted for reducing the cost of glass and thus bringing it into general use. They also must be credited with first making window glass, such as has since GLASS DISCOVERED been used in houses. It was not until the year 1550 that glassmaking was introduced into England by a Venetian, 'who manufactured window glass. It was in the year 1619 that the celebrated glass factory was established in Stourbridge. England. This place became one of the early centres for glass making because of the proximity of large supplies of fine clay, so neces- sary for building furnaces and pots. Glass factories are often situated in places where fire-clay and fine sand are available. The sand which is used in the glass-making process is washed of any impurities and is heated or burnt in order to eliminate any organic or vegetable matter. When cold, it is sifted in order to take out any coarse grains or lumps. The alkalis, potash or soda, or a mixture of both. are used in making glass in the form either of carbonates. sulphates or nitrates. The soda and potash silicates are easily fused, but they are not permanent, as they are soluble in water. In consequence other bases. such as lead, oxide or lime need to be added to form a more stable glass. Carbonate of soda is now generally used, because it is an inexpensive they are not 1 soluble in wate: bases, such as 2 to be added to! Carbonate of used, because varieties of glass Ware. Various other substances besides alkalis and silica are employed in glass-making. Boric acid is used and- renders glass more fusible and brilliant. By the use of lime, glasses are rendered more permanent and unchangeable. Phosphate of lime produces opacity and translucency. The raw mixture of the various materials used in making glass is known as a “batch”. This is run through a sieve and afterwards thor- oughly mixed. The batch is then ready for the furnaces, where it is melted down into a liquid mass in the several pots provided for it. Venethns.

Levine. owner of the “Columbia". in which Boyd conquered the Atlantic Ocean, on their arrival at Cro ydon Aerodrome; England. Boyd and his navigator, Henry O’Connor, were accorded a great welcome for the people in the Motherland, more particularly in view of the fact that Boyd was the first Canadian to fly from Canada to the British Isles. THE DURHAM CHRONICLE BY ACCIDENT i"?! J“ On King’s Highway No. 2 at Prescott overlooking the St. Lawrence. stands Fort Wellington, a military stronghold of the region from 1812 until its aban- donment in 1886. Two miles to the east is the famous old windmill on Wind- mill Point, where loyal Canadians re- pulsed an attempted invasion in 1838. Five miles east of the town of Morris- burg a tall red granite obelisk marks the battlefield of Crysler’s Farm. the 'scene of an important action in the war of 1812-14. Opposite South Lan- !caster, on a small island in the St. Lawrence. is Glengarry Cairn. erected by the Highland Militia of Glonzarry ,in honor of Sir John Colborne. who commanded her Majesty’s forces in the ,rebellion of 1837-38.

Along our high- ways we see the places that recall in- cidents in Canada's romantic past, and events described in our school books, dimly remembered and perhaps vaguely understood, become real and vital. One outcome of this was the action of the Dominion Government in placing his- toric sites and monuments under the care of the National Parks of Canada. Department of the Interior, which is assisted by an advisory board of re- presentative Canadian historians. This branch is steadily at work preserving and restoring historic buildings, ruins, and monuments and erecting cairns and tablets to commemorate striking events and outstanding personages. The following are a number of points of historic interest which may be vis- ited on a motor trip from Eastern 0n- tario to Nova Scotia: Motor Touring on Our Highways Means Rediscovery of Dominionâ€"Points of Interest m Numerous. OUR ROMANTIC ' PAST PRESERVED IN HISTORIC SITES In the Province of Quebec the not a?- ist finds many reminders of the out- standing events in the early history of this part of the Dominion. The points of interest in the two principal cities of the province, Montreal and Quebec, are too well known to need chronicling here. Following are a number of the notable historic sites and monuments on a trip through the southern part of the province: Fort Chambly, on the Richelieu river. is just a half an hour’s drive from Montreal. The first fortifications were erected in 1665 by the French under Captain de Chambly. They were rebuilt in 1709 and later repaired, be- ing finally abandoned as a military post in 1851. After years of neglect, 'the fort was taken over by the National Parks of Canada in 1921, created a national historic site, and preservation work carried out. A good motor road running south along the Richelieu brings one to the massive ruins of Fort Lennox, Ileaux- Noix. This island was fortified by the French, but the present structure was erected by the British in 1818. It was taken over by the Department oi the Interior in 1921. At Longueuil a tablet placed on the church marks the site of Fort de Longueuil. At Vercheres stands a beautiful bronze statue of the heroic Madeliene de Vercheres com- memorating her famous stand against the Iroquois. A cairn and tablet at Bore! mark the site of Fort Richelieu. A centre of great historic interest is the city of Saint John, on the shores of the Bay of Fundy. On the city’s put- skirts, on a high hill overlooking the bay, is the site of old Fort Howe. Near the shore. is a tablet commemorating the landing of the United Empire Loy- alists in 1783. Tablets have also been erected by the Department of the In- Esm' em “I? We .0!- M.
