THANKSGIVING DAY, OCT. 13TH To melt the mouth of a glass tube so as to close it was called securing it with "Hermes, his seal." We know little or nothing of Hermes, or when he lived, or whether he ever lived at all; but it is curious that even to this day when a bottle or jar is closed so that it is airâ€"tight we call it hermiticalâ€" ly sealed, after this same Hermes. That it had been declared to be a secret and mysterious process made it all the more fascinating to them. And so they became alchemists, and called themselves Hermetic philosophers, beâ€" cause tradition declared Hermes Thisâ€" megistus about two thousand years before Christ had discovered how to convert the baser metals into gold. When the Arabs came into Europe and learned from the nations they enâ€" countered the wisdom of all the ages then past, they became deeply interestâ€" ed in the attempts that the old Greeks had made ‘to turn other metals into gold. A fascinating study is that which searches for the origin of words. Much of the history of the world is locked up in the words we use every day, utâ€" terly unconscious of their derivation.
