349. BEGINNINGS OF SCIENCE: Superstition Mingled with Real Knowledge.

A peculiar characteristic of the Tuscans was their inclination for cultivating an intimate connection with certain natural phenomena. Divination, which was the occupation of their equestrian hierarchical caste, gave occasion for a daily observation of the meteorological processes of the atmosphere. The Fulguratores, observers of lightning, occupied themselves in investigating the direction of the lightning, with "drawing it down" and "turning it aside." They carefully distinguished between flashes of lightning from the higher regions of the clouds, and those which Saturn, an earth-god, caused to ascend from below, and which were called Saturnine-terrestrial lightning, a distinction which modern physicists have thought worthy of especial attention. Thus were established regular official notices of the occurrence of storms. The Aquœlicium, the art of discovering springs of waters, which was much practised by the Etruscans, and the drawing forth of water by their Aquileges, indicate a careful investigation of the natural stratification of rocks and of the inequalities of the ground. Diodorus, on this account, extols the Etruscans as industrious inquirers of Nature.
