TOOLS USED IN BUILDING THE PYR-
AMIDS.

During the residence of two winters in
a tomb at Gizeh, Mr.. w. M. Flinders
Petrie collected evidence showing that the
tools used in working stone 1000 years
ago were constructed with a jewel as the
cutting edge. He stated bis reasons for
coming to this conclusion in paper read
before the Anthropological Society, a re-
sumo of which is published in recent
issue of Engineering of London. Solid
and tubular drills, straight and circular
disk saws, and lathe tools were made with
jewels set in metal The lines of cutting
on granite core made by tubular drill
from continuous spiral, the grooves be-
ing of a uniform depth and width through
out, showing that the cutting point was
not worn as the work advanced. The
regular taper Of the core would indicate
that jewels were also set upon the outside
and inside Of the drill, thereby facilitating
its removal. In some specimens of gran
lite che drills sunk one-tenth of an inch at
esols s'e,o'atiosr, and s,.s pressure nocec
sary to do this must have been from one
to two tons. The skill of the workmen
and the capacity of the tools are illus
trated by the clean path through both soft
and hard material-no difference in the
groove being perceptible, although IL
passes from n soft substance into quartz,
subjecting the tool to an enormous stra in.
In plane surfaces the depth and width of
the cuts indicate the successive stroke of
a saw, aud the use Of the circular saw is
proved by the regularly curved lines.
The forms of the tools were the same
that experience has sanctioned ut the pre-
sent time.
The scarcity of the diamond and the
lack of strength in the sapphire and beryl
lead to the consideration of corundum
Nothing has been found about the metal
of which the tool was made or the method

No more valuable contribution to the
stock of public information on the tariff
question has recently been published than
the letters to the N. Y. Tribune of Mr..
Robert B. Porter, who, after making n
tour Of the manufacturing districts OF
Great Britain, is now writing from Ger.
many. In one of his late letters he shows
that under protective tariff the wooden
industry Of Germany has been steadily in
creasing, while the same industry in free
trade England has been as steadily de-
creasing. The difference is the more
striking because Germany was decreasing
her WOODEN exports previous to the adop-
ton of protective tariff. Since that time
the home product has been enormously
increased, imports have largely fallen off,
and the export trade has been almost
doubled. AS the figures show, Germany
under protection has come nearer by $26,
100000 to supplying her own wants and
yet can manufacture cheaply enough to
increase her foreign market $50, 900, 900
On the other hand England has lost $780,
900, 900 of her foreign trade in the same
class of goods, and increased her importa-
ton of them to the value of about $780,
DOC, 900. These are solid facts, the i'm
portance of which is heightened by the
knowledge that during the same time
there has been great improvement in
wages in Germany.

THE STYLES FOR MEN.

ing the Coming Winter.

what they may he Expected to Wear Dur
ing the Coming Winter
For overcoatings this Winter kerseys
will be popular, made up with laps and
raw edges For colors, old claret or port
wine shades, which have not been worn
of late, will be very stylish. Fur beaver,
chinchilla, elysans and soft-finish goods
will be worn, some of these goods having
been popular for a long time and promis.
ing to continue. These will be worn in
all colors--black, blue, brown, old claret--
and in mixtures. or these goods nearly
one hundred and fifty styles and colors
are in the sample books. English blue
pilots and Irish friezes hold their own,
while Meltons will be won to some ex-
tent, but not so much as formerly. As
has been stated, kerseys will be very pop
ular, also fancy beavers, especially in
olive or brown shades, claret or port wine
colors. Next come the plain worsted pat
terms for morning coats, calling coats,
generally for common wear. The Cork
screw" pattern has been worn for sea-
son or two, and it will have great run
the coming season, in the country trade
especially. Heavy orders are in already,
and the bulk of the country trade is in
this pattern. The very finest thing in
worsted will be a SMALL almost indis-
tinct pattern, not diagonal, but much re-
sembling it, in black, blue, brown, olive,
wine col0rs and mixtures In the sample
books there are one hundred qualities
patterns and colors in worsteds, but most
ly of the corkscrew pattern.
For trouserings, the best to be worn
are English worsteds, in small, neat
stripes. The style will demand quite
plain goods, and there is no tendency for
the coming season toward the "loud''
patterns. There are indications of a pro-
bounced change in the style, which will
very likely be exemplified next Spring to
some extent and blossom out in full flower
within year. Indeed, English swells
have been wearing this year very fancy
and loud patterns aud it Is considered
that exceedingly snowy plaids may be all
the 60 for the Fall of 1884. But this dis
play is not to be witnessed this Fall and
Winter. For goods that always sell aud
and will be worn extensively this Winter
may be mentioned cheviots, plain, mixed,
diagonal and small figured fancy goods.
No pronounced change will be seen, either
in style or pattern, of any Of the goods
worn by gentlemen, and there is nothing
that has been worn that is being positive.

At Long Branch at the close of the fis-
cal year it was reported that over $50, 900
was due the City Commission on back tax
lists. The Collector then notified the de-
linquents that the taxes unpaid on the list
of July would be collected by law, which
meant the selling of their property. After
the property was advertised for sale it
was found that the Collector was power
less to sell without an order from the
Board of City Commissioners, which was
withheld. According to the interpreta-
tion OF the law by the Corporation Coun-
sci, it Is too late now to sell the property
