By MAXINE Bl'REM
Statesasaa Waasaa's Edilae
Ever since opening two Jugs presumably 7$ ar so years old.
and finding them to contain ancient canned prunes, e t hem
wondering about the origin of glass jars and who invented the
things anyway.
The odd thing about these two pottery jugs, brought in by a
man who believed them to have been brought arrnu the plain
some 7S years ago, was that they were sealed t! either hre
or ceiling wax, under which were Kerr self -sealing lids.
The jugs were undoubtedly old, but why did they rnit
under them, the lids being so very much more rtvent than hit
and why at that late date, didn't they use glass ).irs am way
The self-scaling lid is a comparatively recent invention W e looked
up a bit of history on the glass jar which is interesting
Glass has been made by nature since the beginning of time
Lightning, as it strikes sand, may form a glass crust or een rods
into the sand. Cave men used obsidian, a natural glass, tor knn es.
arrowheads and hatchets.
There seems to be no record of the first man-made glass, but
we know thai glass was being molded into solid pieces in 7.0V
B.C. The world's first glass containers emerged from a caldron
of molten glass, by ay of threads of.ihe material wound around
a mold made o( s.ind.
Thanks to the indestructibility of glass (except for breakage1
many examples of lhe early day glassinaker's art still remain and
have-been dug up from ruins of ancient civilisations
The man who blew the first bubble of glass, though unknown
now. revolutioniied the world's containers. The blow pipe used in
glassmaking was invented about 300 B.C. and ever since, glass
containers have been important to the world s progress Molding
of glass followed blowing.
The characteristic of glass that has made it so valuable as a
container is that it is chemically inert, adding nolhinc to. or taking
away from whatever comes in contact with it This made it
valuable for holding rssertial oils, honey, and wine even in ancient
time. Glass-packed products would withstand long sea voyages
and lengihv periods of storage, and the containers could be used
again and aain.
Karly in the 19th century Nicholas Appert experimented with
preserving fresh foods by sealing them in bottles Corking them,
he cooked them in boiling water He discovered that 'samples of
the fruits retained their wholesomeness for some time, thus he
established the. foundation for today's science of food processing
In 1878 John L. Mason of New York invented the Mason .lar
with its threaded cap. SO years, by the way. before the glass milk
bottle was thought up
Tin cans preceded glass jars for "canning " by some 33 years,
the patent being given in lRii for a tin "rannister " American
bookkeepers used the abbreviation ran'' thus giving the container
and 'I'e im'uslry its name. The word canning" now means
sterilizing in sealed containers, whether they he tin or glass, or
any othrr substance
Thus we know that if the jugs -of fruit first mentioned here
were brought to Oregon even in the earlier days of covered wagon
,travel. the pioneers need not have used pottery jugs for lack of
glass ones! They probably used what was at hand, for folks in
those days were content with what they had. not always looking
for the latest thing out in the matter of conveniences.
