the upper regions of the mountains are

flowed down in different directions and a;
different periods, and then cooled again
into rock. A celebrated chesnut tree, oi

The Island Of Sicily.

This is a very celebrated and beautiful
Island, and is importan. in the history of
Greece, Rome and Carthage. 1t has the
great volcanic mountain Elna. rising from
it. with many ruins Of ancient cities, and
some handsome ones, now inhabited
There are many rich fields and gardens;
and some of the olanges which we have

gates of the city. and see wild rocks on
one side, looking down upon the sea- and
on the other the land rising gradually to-
wards Mount Etna, which sends out Il vol

stop at the house of peasant and ask
leave to enter his vineyard; and should be
sure Of a kind and courteous welcome.-

clusters around our heads and there are

The ancient Athenians had colony in
Sicily; aud there are remains of the Greek
language now in part Of the Island
There are also several ruinous cities, with
splendid temples, particularly that of Ag-

standing. Travellers also speak with much
interest of the quarries. where many Of

The Origin Of Mills.

In early ages, corn was pounded IN NOR
tars, by hand. Solomon alludel to tha.
custom, when he says: Though thou
shouldst bray fool in the mortar. with a
pestle, among wheat, yet will not his fool
ishness depart from him." The hand
mills, of later times were operated princi
pally by women. In process of time,
shafts were added to these machines, and
they were worked by cattle Water mills
were invented about the time of Julius
Caesar; but they did not come into general
use till A. d. 400. 1t is supposed tha
wind mills originated in the East and were
introduced into Europe by the Crusaders.
This however is doubted, as such mills
were in use in Europe as early rs the first
crusade. FeuLal lords, claimed the priv
ilegc Of erecting all corn mills and requir-
ing their vassals to grind at their mills.
called Jan-miHs. The building of such
mills was then very expensive, and none
but lords, and barons. could afford the ex :
pcnse; hence they claimed all tolls, from
their dependents, by way of remuneration
At one time the monks desired to erect a
wind mill for their own convenience; he
lord of the soil opposed their purpose. say
ing that the wind in that district. belonged
TO him. They appealed to their bishop,
who, iii great Indignation. claimed spiriu-
al control of the winds, in his diocese,
granted letters patent to the holy fathers
By Improvements introduced in France, in
the grinding of corn, about the year l768,
the amount Of -four Obtained was nearly
doubled. Saw mills are more recent, in
their origin, than corn mills The earliest
method known for procuring plahks, was
by splitting the trunks Of trees with wedg-
es, and hewing the sides with axes. Until
the middle of the sixteenth century, all
planks in Norway were thus manufactured
The saw is an instrument of very remote
antiquity. The inventor of it, was, like
other benefactors, ranked among the gods
Ovid celebrated his praises, in his Meta
morphoses. He says, the idea was sug-
sested by the spines which project from
the back bone of fish. By others, the
discovery is attributed to the accidental use
of the jaw bone of a snake in serving a
piece of wood. The saw was used in pit
saving during most of the dark ayes. 1t
was first adapted to mills in Germany, in
1929. Saws were not introduced into
England till 1867. The first constructed
mills were destroyed by mobs. The in
vention Of the circular saw, has added
greatly to the efficiency of modern mills,
and now, almost every variety and form OF
timber, used by mechanics, is Gu, into
proper shape for use, by such saws.
