A Skull of Iron.

A human skull Of iron! Not one made,
by artitice, remember, but so constructed
by nature. What could be more won
derful? asks the Washington Star.
An anthropological expert showed the
specimen at the Smithsonian, though it
has not been placed on exhibition The
skull, which was once upon time like
any other skull, is imbedded in mass of
iron ore. Nature originally inclosed it
in that way by an accident, and gradu-
ally, in the course centuries, particles of
the metal took the places of PARTICLES of
bone, until at length the skull was no
longer bone, but iron. Its structure in
the iron is perfect in every detail, save
that the top of the head and the lower
jaw are missing.
When it is considered how many thou
sands of years must have been required to
produce such IL curiosity some faint
notion is conveyed OF the antiquity of
man. Near by is n big piece of solid
limestone rock, incasing as if portion
of itself, the upper part of human
skeleton! In the surface of the stone,
imbedded, is visible the backbone of
man-perhaps woman-so that one can
see distinct vertebrae, while on either
side of the spinal column are revealed
the ribs. What ages must have passed
before the processes by which this osse-
ous relic of n bygone epoch was thus en-
closed had time to accomplish such a
work.
