Oldest of the Sciences.

MctallurGy Is the oldest of the sci
cnces. 1t WAS born in the efforts Of the
alchcmis,s 10 transmutc metals into
gold, and has come down though the
centuries less changed thaa any other
science. While the earliest records are
not full and complete, the alloys mad,
in those old ages, and the slags found
about some of the oldest workshops dis
covered, some OF them datin- back to
the age of Moses, show pretty clearly
what the mctdliurgical methods of
those days were, and show that thcy
wes much the same as the methods
row IN use. The slags give proof that
lime was used as it Is used now, and
that sulphur was bugbear as it is now.
What advances have been made have
been more of a mechanical nature than
in the way of discovering new laws or
principles of chemistry. --[Public Opia-
