that crosses Lake st. Croix, in Washing
ton county, her husband was thrown vio-
lently from the car over a twenty-five
feet embankment and striking the ice in
Lake st. Croix he was instantly killed.

WAS 1aoN BEFORE BRoNzEY

Professor Huntington of Kings College,
London, holds that, from a metallurgical
point of view, there is no reason why iron
should not have been used before bronze
although it depends on other circumstances
whether it was or not. DR.. Percy-than
whom, says Professor Huntington, there
has never yet lived a more learned and
trustworthy metallurgical author-says
From suitable ores, of which abundant
and readily accessible supplies exist in va
rious localities, nothing more easy can be
conceived than the extraction of malleable
iron. Of all the metallurgical processes, it
may be regarded as among the most simple.
Thus, if lump of red or brown hematite
be heated for few hours in a charcoal fire,
well surrounded or imbedded in the fuel,
it will be more or less completely reduced,
so as to admit of being easily forged, at
red heat, into a bar of iron. The print
tive method of extracting good malleable
iron directly from the ore, which is still
practiced in India and in Africa, requires
degree of skill very far inferior to that
which is implied in the manufacture of
bronze" The Professor characterlzes as
erroneous the statement that copper was
more likely to have been first used than
iron, because the latter is difficult to re-
duce from it's ore, and the former
is found native. Considering the
great quaint les of copper which
must have been used, we know of no
locality whence at that time it could have
been obtained. From Pliny's description
of the methods of obtaining metallic cop
per, it is evident that the principle was the
same as that of our own day. We have
every reason to suppose that, in pre- historic
times copper was obtained from its ore,
on the large scale, by the dry process. If
uncombined condition, we must not forget
the tin, and tin does occur native, and the
reduction would imply the use of charcoal,
aided by high temperature. Considerable
skill is required, even at the present time,
to obtain eopperand tin from their ores and
alloy them successfully. We ought not
therefore, finally to decide that bronze was
known before iron. cit is very possible
1t was, but we do not as yet know the rea-
son why" Professor Huntington con-
cluded the lecture of which the preceding
statements and reasonings formed part
by some very sensible words concerning the
study of science and of literature. Lit
erature gives to the mind weight, dignity,
and all of those characteristics which,
blended, constitute true civilization and a
cultured intellect. Let me urge, then,
that those who are engaged in scientific
pursuits should seek in literature their

tons are of literary nature should make

Doxr BLOW INTO Your wArcH.-A

DoN'T Blow INTO Your WATcH-A
correspondent of German paper calls at
tention to the injudicious practice of blow
ing dust off of the patchwork. He says
that the operation looks so harmless that
but few ever think of the destructive con-
sequences attendant on the contact of
humid breath with polished steel surfaces
and springs. At lower temperatures
kind of vail covers the parts at once after
blowing, which gradually disappears again,
but it is in fact nothing else than watery
deposit, or steam reduced to water. Cen
orally the deposit evaporates as the object
gets warmer, but this is not always the
case. Many watchmakers must have OBJ
served that polished steel surfaces are
sometimes dotted over, apparently with
particles of dust, which on closer examina-
ten are found to be rust. Perhaps many
have been puzzled to account for rust spots
between the coils of spring, very minute,
but still sufficient to render the article
useless. These serious defects, says our
authority, may in most cases be put down
to the evil influence of warm breath, mi
croscopic particles of water, for want of
sufficient heat to evaporate, having re-
manned on the surface and done the mis-
chief described.
