There are n do/.en different metho'l.i of makltiK nrtlllclal diamonds , but none of the stones produced by ( huso meth ods can compare with ( hone made of old Kruncb paste , the Hecret of which Is lost. So perfect were panto < Ha- inonds that It wns dllllcult for oven a purson with expert knowledno of diamonds mends to tell that they were artlllulal- ly produced , whereas most of the mod ern artificial diamonds can easily be detected , and tholr durability Is noth ing like BO crcnt as the old paste dia monds. Probably not ono out of every ten thousand buildings HtandliiK In nil parts of the world , and built by mod ern masons , will still be standing 500 years hence. We do not know how to put stones and bricks together as the ancients did , and consequently the buildings we raise nowadays are really men- temporary structures and will bo In ruins when the ancient buildings oC Greece and Italy , which were built thousands of years ii 'o , are In as 'ooil condition its they arc now. The secret Is not In the bricks or the stone , but In ( he cement and mortar , neither of which essentials can we make as the ancients made thorn. In modern buildings the cement and mortar are the weakest points ; In buildings which the Komany and ( ireeks raised thousands of years a o the cement and mortar are the stron gest points and hold K < iod while the very stones they bind together crumble away with IIRO. Wo cannot , with all our science , make such cement and mortar , and therefore wo cannot build ciuch buildings as the ancients raised. Chemistry , one ml ht Imagine , Is the science which has , perhaps , made the Kioatcst strides. Vet modern chem ists cannot compound such dyes ns wcro commonly used when the Kroat nations of today were still unborn. Now and a aln It happens that search- OIB nftcr antiquities come across frag ments of fabrics which were dyed thousands of years a o , and they are astonished by the wonderful richness of the colors of the cloths , which , de spite their nf'c , are brighter and purer than anything we can produce. Modern artists buy their colors ready made und spend largo sums on I > | R- incuts with which to color their can vases. The pictures of modern artists will bo colorless when many of the works of ancient masters are an bright as they nro today. Just ns the secret of dyeing has been lost , so has the secret of preserving the colors of artists' paints. Yet the secret was known to every nnclent artist , for they nil mixed their own colors. How to make durable Ink Is another fjrent secret we have lost. Look nt nny letter flvo or ten years old and you will probably notice that the writing has faded to a brown color and Is very Indistinct - distinct Go to any big museum and you will find ancient MSS. , the writing of which Is as black and distinct as If the MSS. were written the day before yesterday. The secret of glass blowing and tintIng - Ing Is not yet entirely lost There nro still a few men who can produce glass work equal to the things of this kind which the anclcnta turned out hun dreds of yenrs ago. But the average glass manufacturer cnnnot produce anything that could nt nil compare with some of the commoner articles the Egyptians , and later , the founders of Venice , manufactured , and those who still hold the nnclent secret guard It so closely that It will probably die with them and be ndded to the long list of things In which our ancestors beat us hollow. .
