qy the tool, and the cone being
turned down smaller as the cutting
proceeds gives the means of more
readily Withdrawing the tool. As
indications on the work prove that
great pressure must have been re-
quired to keep the tools cutting the
deep grooves they made at every
sweep, the inference is that the tools
which could stand the hard service
they were subjected to must have
been marvelously well made. Mod
ern tool-makcrs give employment to
a high degree of mechanical skill,
and extended metallurgical knOwl.
edge is requisite for the selection Of
materials to make first-class tools
but when we reflect upon the diff
culties these ancient toOl-makers
had to surmount in fastening and re-
tanning stone as cutters on bass Of
bronze we can appreciate the perS
fectiOE their art reached. They
probably followed methods OF hard
ening copper alloys which are not
known to Us, and are not discovered
by modern metal workers BECAUSE
the knowledge is not essential but
the real mystery of how clean cut
ting of hard substances was done in
those times lays in the acquired
skill of the tool-maker. american

Tools of the Egyptians.

As steel was not in use among the
Egytians, the cutting points for tools
must have been made Of diamonds
or other hard amorphOus stones set
in a metqllic base. The varied forms
Of specimens Of work done show
that the principal cutting tools used
were long straight saws, cir ular
disc saws, solid drills tubular drills,
hand grainers and lathe cutters, all
Of these being made on the princi-
pie Of jeweled points, while metallic
picks, hammers and chisels were ap-
piled where suitable. Many Of the
tools must have possessed intense
rigidity and durability, for fragments
Of work were shown where the cut
ting was done very rapidly, one tool
into hard granite 1-lOth Of an inch at
each revolution. a curiosity in the
manner of constructing tubular drills
might be worthy Of the attention Of
the attention Of modern makers Of
mining machipers. The Egyptians
not only set cutting jewels around
the edge Of the drill tube, as in the
modern crown drills, but they set
them in the sides Of the tube, both
inside and outside. By this means
the role continually reamed larger

The First Steamboat whistle,

The story Of the first steam whis-
tie on the Missouri river is amusing.
Its introduction dates back to 1874.
At that time the settlers on the Mis-
souri, river were in the habit Of max
ing regular yearly visits to st. Louis
to do their trading for themselves
and their friends. They were not
provided with daily intercourse with
the outside world, and many who
lived back from the river, seldom, if
ever, saw a steamboat more than
once a year. 1t happened that dur
ing the fal Of 1874 the steamboat
Lexington started up the Missouri
river, loaded down to the guards
with freight. The steamer was pro-
vided with steam .whistle-the
first used on the Missouri river-and
as it happened no one knew about it
except Warner, who was wag and
lover Of a joke. The night after
leaving st. Louis the passengers
were collected together playing
cards (for fun in the cabin, when
the talk turned upon steamboat eX-
plOsions, then very common.
81 feel perfectly safe on this boat"
slid Warner as he dealt tie carts
"Why ?" inquired Yocum, the
planter.
"Why ," echoed the rest of the
company.
81 will tell you why" said the
wag, carefully studying his cards.
"This boat is provided with a new
patent safety valve, which notifies
passengers on board when it is about
to blow up. 1t is a concern which
makes Il most unearthly noise, and
when you hear it, it is time to get
back aft or jump overheard"
Notwithstanding the fact that
Warner told his story with the most
solemn and earnest countenance,
some were skeptical. Not so, how
ever with the planter. Next morn
ing when the Lexington was steam
ing up the long, straight stretch of
river just below Washington, Mo-,
the passengers were at breakfast.
The meal been called, and all were
busily engaged in doing justice to
the kind of meal they were aCcus-
toned to serve on steamboats, in
those days. Suddenly the whistle
began to blow, the first time on the
trip. The passengers looked at each
other a moment, ana horror and dis
may spread over their faces. The
first man to realize the situation and
act was Yocum, the planter, who,
with fair erect and blanched face,
jumped up, crying as he pulled over
one after another of the terrified
passengers.
"Run, run for your lives; the darn
thing is going to bust. Come with
me, and let's save ourselves"
OF course there was stampede for
the rear Of the boat, and it was only
by the exertions of some of the crew
that the more excited were restrained
from jumping into the river

The usual crowd Of autumn liars
were gathered together In the store
occupying all the grocery seats-Ihe
the only gross receipts that the pro-
prietor took no pride in-when lit
tie, blear-eyed weazen-faced indi-
vidual sneaked in by the back door
and skunk in into a dark corner.
''That's him." said the ungram-
matical hummer with green patch
over his left eye.
"Who is 1t ?" asked several at
once.
"why, the chap that saved the
train from being wrecked" was the
reply.
"Come, tell us all about it," they
demanded, as the small man
crouched in the darkness, as If un-
willing that his heroic deed should
be brought out under the glare Of
the blazing kerosene lamp.
After much persuasion, reinforced
by stiff horn Of apple jack, he be-

A CURIOUS CLOCK.-There is a
curious clock in Japan. This clock,
in a frame three feet high and five
feet long, represented noCH land
scape of great lOvelinesS. In the
foreground were plum and cherry
trees and rich plants in full bloom;
in the rear, a hill gradual in ascent,
from which flowed cascade admi-
rahly initiated in crystal. From
this a threadlike stream glided along,
encircling In its winding rocks nd
tiny islands, but presently losing
itself in the far-of stretch Of wood
land. In the sky turned a golden
sun, indicating as it passed the strik-
ing hours, which were all marked on
the scale below, where slowly
creeping tortoise served as a hand.
A bird of exquisite plumage, resting
on its wings, proclaimed the expira-
tion Of each hour. When the song
ceased, a mouse sprang from grottO
near by and, running over the hill,
hastily disappeared.

LYNCH LAw.-This term, as COM
monty in use in the United States,
is a persCniflcation Of violent and il
legal ju, tie. According to some
authorities. the term was d rvnd
from a Virginia farm er named
Lynch. But it can be traced to n
much earlier date in Ire'a d. When
in 1893, JAMES Fitzstephens Lynch
was Mayor and Warden of Galway,
he traded largely with Spain, and
sent his son thither to purchase Il
cargo of wine. The young man
squandered the money iutrusted to
him, but succeeded in running in
deLt for q cargo to SpaniaGd, hy
whose nephew he was accompanied
in the return voyage to Ireland,
where the money was to be paid.
Young Lynch. to conceal his defal-
cation, caused the Spaniard to be
thrown overheard, and was received
at home with great honor But q
sailor revealed to the Mayor OF CAL
way the crime which his son had
committed. The young man was
tried before his own father, convict
ed, and sentenced to be hanged.
His family and others determined to
prevent the execution. The father,
finding that the sentence could not
be carried into effect the usual way,
conducted his son to a window over
looking the public street, with his
own hands fastened the halter at
tached to his neck to a staple in the
wall and acted as his eXecutiOner.
In the Council books Of Galway there
is said to be a minute that James
Lynch, Mayor Of Galway, hanged his.
own son, out of the window, for de-
frauding and killing stranger., with,
out martial or common law, to show
good example to posterity.
