Age of Stone in China.

M. Chevreul, in communication adj
dressed to the French Academy, brings to-
gether some curious facts relative to the
age Of stone in China. 1t seems that when
Confucius was staying in the Kingdom OF
Tchen, a bird Of prey fell dead before the
King, Upon examination it was found to
have been. Killed by an arrow armed with a
hard, sharp stone. Confucius was called
upon to explain this, aud related the tradi-
tion that in the year 1922 (B. ca such a
weapon had been presented as a token of
sovereignty by Ououang to the first King
of Tchen. Search was made in the Royal
Museum, and the weapon was discovered.
"This proves" says NJ. Chevreul, "that
even atTthat remote epoch iron weapons
had already been introduced into China,
and the Stone Age only lived in tradi-
tionp M. Stanislas Julien has confirmed
this opinion by several extracts from Chi
nese encyclopedias, which put the exist
ence of a Stone, Age in China beyond
doubt, i'' "h"'" '@h"r ~" .nl'' 3'.
