She was so frightened at the trans

explanation was simple enough. It
was discovered that the countess was
accustomed to paint her face, hands,
arms and neck daily with a substance
containing zinc. On that fatal day the
poor woman had neglected to remove
the identifying" coat. The zinc
combined with the sulphur and natri-
um of the water, and quickly made an
African belle out of the white-skinned
bather. A considerable time passed
before the unfortunate woman resumed
her natural appearance.-Ne York

Probably the oldest timber in the
world which has been subjected TO the
use of man is found in the ancient
temple OF Egypt. in connection with
stone work. which is known to be at
least four thousand years old. This
was the only wood used in the con-
struction of the temple and is in the
form of ties, holding the end Of one
stone to another. When two blocks
were laid in place, an excavation
about an inch deep was made in each
block in which one of these wooden
ties, shaped like an hour glass, was
driven. 1t IS therefore, very difficult
to force a stone from its position.
These ancient ties are made OF timar-
ish or shittim wood. the same as that
from which the ark was constructed.
