Pottery was k in Tndin, in Chinn. in apan, . in times far remote, and of Mexico and along the Pacifie slopeabundant evi- dence has been found that the art wa vot wnknown to the more adyane tribes of the American aborigines The Mexican and Peruvian wares never reachoed the excellen of glazing., but in modeling the old Peruvian waves vival the best specimens of European art. The Fijiis had come to a knowl- edgo of pottery at an eavly time. and they giazed with the resin of a tree, It is suspected. however, that this knowl- was derived from Burope. It is fous Lo note that although the pottersart s mentioned inseriptive very few specimens of Hebrew wires have been found. Much of the beauty of the ceramic art is dependent upon the glazed or neled surface of the wares. The history of the higher grades of the art is the history of the glaze. In other words the art has approached perfect very mueh as the secret of glaziug hus been thoroughly maste The kno > 2 originall acquired by the vptinns and Assy inns was still a possession when the Romans rned Alexandria, and from the potters of that city the secret was obtaiued from the Persians, the Moors and the Arabs. There is proof that faiences and enameled brick wer in use among these people in the twelfth century.and among the Hindoos nd a half later. some centuries glazing scems to lost art in Iurope. In the general decay and ruin which overtook the old Roman empirve, this specia knowledge had pevished, In the carl years of the eighth century the know! edge of neling had come into the possession of the Italians. no doubt from Spanish sources. From Ttaly, wiere it was soon turned to o cellent account, it found its way into France, and flourished under the poat- ronage of Cathervine de Medicis,through the persevering labors and brilliant discovevies of Bernard Pali the grand old Huguenot, who escaped the massacre of St. Bartholomew only to he gentenced to death by burning. and who. although suved from so horvible a fate. was permanently cat off from his labors and allowed to vot in the Bastille, 1t is hardly possible tooverestimate the value of Palissy’s labors. By the discov- of a speciai kind of pust or enamel, as well as by his general taste and skill in the othet departments of his trade, he raised the potter’s art to an eminence never formerly known. In his hands pottery took on the most beautiful adoruments, hoth as to form and color. and his tiles. his rustic pieces, his basins, his stands, his statu- ettes, which in his own time were in universal demand, command in our own day when proved to be genuine, enor- mous prices. All over the effort was to fmprove the glazing. In Germany, in Holland, in Ven in France, in Bug- land very considerable progress had been made by the time we roach the sixtecnth o ry. By and by Holland took the I hor delit. Bxeel- lent work was also done st Nuremborg i y. It was not till after the lution of 1688 that British work ae- 1 prominence.

Later still he was gilding extensively and printing with copper plutes, The highest quality of goods pro- duced by the potter ave those which pass under the title of chinaware or Ppoi in. Both names are a little general, Commonly spoaking, all white ware used for table purposes, as well us all faney or ornamental ware of the better sort, is called porcelain or chinaware. Move strietly speaking the ems are applied only to the very \est kind of manufactured earthen- Porcelain is derived from an olscure Portugese word sigmfying a sholl, and the name was given w0 a class of goods which were imported from Chine,and mainly because they THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY. were translucent and had a shell-like appearance internally when held up to the light: ' Of this porcelain proper there are two kinds—the hard and the saft or tender, ag 1t is also called,” The nard is composed of a clay containing silicia, which is infusable; and pr serves its whiteness in a strong heat. and of a flux containing silicla and lime. The glazeof this ware is earthly, and admits of po metallic substance or alkali. This w is semi-transparent or trunslucent. The soft or tender por- celain consists of a vitreous friv. which is render wue by the * mix- ture of a caléareous clay, and is lazed with artificial glass into the composition of which si N alies and lead enter. This latter Kind of pe ain is sometimes left unglazed. In this state the biscuit, itis called, when baked. has the spearance of white marble.

The attempts. though they led o improvement. were long unsuccessful in theiv main object. By and by, in 1700, a white por i wits produced in Meissen, near Dresden, and the porecluin wo which remain were estublistied by royal authority.

About the time an establishment was set up at Worcester by De Well, Later the Staffordshive potteries and the names of Minton & u\ others have be- come famous the world over. Inthe cust, China and Japan take the lead in the manufacture of poreclain. In rope the principal manufactories ary svres, at Dresden and at Worceste and it might be safe to indieate the ex- cellence of the goods produced by the order named, The superiority of Sevres china to all other is admitted.

For time out of mind a great den of black snukes has been known to exist in the southern part of the forest and enormous reptiles of that kind have frequently been killed in the vieinity. Black snikes eight feet long are not uncommon in the locality, and last sam- mer an inhabitant of part of the country. aided by his two daughters, killed two of these snakes, one ten and the other eleven feet lon T'hese we the largest of the kind ever heard of in gion until last Weddesday. On Ay Charles Wolfling, a young smith, and a triend were urn- ing home from a trip in the Black Forest region. They were walking along the road leading through the forest when they saw o large blacksnake emerge from the bushes at one side of the road and streteh itself from one side to the other ouly a few feet ahead of them. Woliling's companion retreated in alarm, but the blacksmith picked up a heavy elub that lay by the side and struck the g serpent o powerful blow in the middle of the hack. ‘These snakes are purnacious, and this one turned at onee on its foe. They are not venomous, but belong to the constrictor family. The big suake wound itsclf about Wollling hefore he could deal it second blow, aud pinned one of lis ar to his side.
