The Metal Industries of Ancient Egypt.

A correspondent Of Iron gives some IN
teresting facts regarding the metallurgical
knowledge Of the inhabitants Of the land
Of the Pharaohs Iron is believed to have
gradually superseded copper in the manu-
facture of the implements with which the
great monuments we're carved and hewn
from the stone. The minuteness and finish
with which the hleroglyphics are sculptured
on obelsks and similar structures may also
be considered as strong arguments tn At the
workman possessed steel chlsels, quite as
finely tempered as any we at present can
manufacture.
The skill Of the first smelters was evi-
IDENTIFY not great, much more care being Be-
slowed upon working the metal obtained
than upon gaming fair product from the
ores. II the ancient mines of gold and
silver can be found, the debris worked
over, would doubtless WELD a rich harvest
Old turquoise mines have been already
discovered and 1t is stated that large num-
bers Of very fine stones have heen extracted
and sent to Europe. In the same locality
a system of Notifications has been traced
out, by which the Pharaohs protected their
works and workmen, and, what is still more
wonderful. the remains Of vast iron works
have been found Of such magnitude. that
many Thousand people must have been EN-
ployed upon them, unless the plant used
was on as grand scale As the largest Eng
lish furnaces. These works were commenc
ed in very early times; each Pharaoh as
he continued them, added large engraved
stone to indicate the labor completed II
is believed that the hieroglyphics on these
he cleaned

The Hero of the Disaster.

THE Scranton Times pays a merited
tribute TO the memory Of John Hays, the
hero of the late mine explosion 1t says
No nobler deeds Of heroism are per
formed on fields Of battle than that which
cost John Hays his life in Shamokin nine
When the half dead and dying man emerged
from the cavernous tomb, bringing the
news of the disaster, he hesitated not a
moment, but sped 10 the relief of his com
rades in danger No thought OF his own
danger kept him back from what he must
have known was imminent risk of his life
The deadly, treacherous vapOr Uverpow-
cred him before he could rescue his fellow
workmen, and his life went out sacrifice
in the cause Of humanity. The heroic
deeds Of the warrior have been celebrated
in song and story, but the heroisrn Of John
Hays need not pale before the brightest
deeds Of any warrior Of ancient or modern
times The warriors deeds are in the de-
struction u life. that Of John Hays was
an effort to save it. The soldier On the
battle held has the excitement Of conflict,
the cheers Of comrades, and thought Of
martial glory to urge HIM on, but the mi
ner who marches into the Jaws Of death to
rescue fellow workman has only his own
brave heart and sense Of duty to sustain
him The herOlsm Of John Hays is not
alone IN the history Of the tolls and dan
gers of miners life Around the flaming
holocaust Of Avondale the cry for yolun-
teers never rose in vain Hard handed
but true-hearted men stepped forth as
promptly to 20 down into that burning,

with eager hand was waiting At the bottom
of that fearful pit. They knew that they
might never look upon their wives and chill

ment in their attempt to rescue their fel-
low -workmen from death The annals Of
history furnish no brighter example II he

who, at West PittsOn, deliberately aban-

Sl.6OO, 10000 100000 of Gold in the
0naan

In our September number for 1870 page
II, Vol. H. we have shown that there Is
800, 900, O0O, 600 of silver i'll the ocean.
1t has lately been discovered that there ia
a thousand times As much gold there and
as gold is about sixteen times the price Of
silver, the value ~ the thus dissolved gold
is III, 900 times that of the silver
III order to test the existence Of the cold.
Sontadt recommends to dissolve few
grains Of pure ferrous sulphate in the sea
water, acidulate with few drops IF hydro
chloric acid, and evaporate in clean por-
ceain dish without ebulhtion. A lustrous
film Of dry ferric oxid will be formed on
the bottom then the water is poured out,
and the film dissolved by chlorin water
with few drops of hydrochIoric acid the
liquid is then poured in test tube, when
the usual test for gold, the stannous chlro-
ride, will, applied with care. show the
characteristic purple of Cassus
In order to come to some approximate
conclusion as to the amount of gold pres
ent, a known solution of gold NAV be so
much diluted till the same test applied to il
gives about the same intensity Of purple
color. AS this test is very delicate, it in
dicates very small amounts and expert
ments i'll this direction have shown that
there is only about one grain Of gold in ten
tons Of sea-water If we now consider
that the surface of the earth contains about
30,OOO,WO square miles Of ocean, and if
we take the average depth at miles. we
have 100, 900, 900 cubic miles of water.
! Further, cubic mile Of water contains in
round numbers 130, 900, OOO. 0OO. 900 cubic
\ feet, and reckoning 80 cubic feet to the ton,
/ the cubic mile Of water weighs 4. 000. 900
tons, and thus contains 40O, 600. 900 grains,
or about 1000, 900 ounces of gold, which
at Sl6 per ounce, gives SIG, 600, 900 worth
Of gold in every cubic mile. This is for
the 100, OOO, 900 cubic miles Of ocean IL.
600, OO0x lO0, 0OO, 600, or 81 600, ,0OO, 900.

make it pay, is the problem which the
