who hold over in the senate , assures
the frlcnda of Mr. Gorman a total of
65 on joint ballot.

which we Iliul ItnpoNHlhle niul that wo

thu average modern man IUIOWH tnoro
than did the learneil men of long ago ,
there nro mysteries of knowledge nnil
Hclonee which our moHt advanced ncl-
cntlHlH cannot Holvc.

fllicakliiK. In a most unsatlHfaetory man

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. . Exchange ,
