The date when the art Of working iron
was first dscoyere, is unknown. It
must have been very early, as specimens
OF wrought iron exist that can he traced
to extremely ancient times. The Oldest
steel implements in existence perhaps are
the sickle blade found by Bellonia under
the base OF the sphinx in karnac, near
Thebes; the blade found by Colonel Nyse
imbedded in the mortar OF the Great
Pyramid, and a portion OF cross cut
saw exhumed at Ninrod by MIR Layard
all OF which are now in the British
museum. A wrought bar OF Damascus
steel was presented to King Porus to
Alexander the Great. This relic OF I'M.
known antiquity is still preserved at
Constantinopal The IIindoos appear to
have made wrought iron directly from
the ore, without passing it through the
furnace, an art now lost Elaborate iron
pillars made by this system are still seen
in India. some of them dating from ten
centuries before the opening OF the Chris.
tian era.

The Safest of Salt Lakes.

A lake with salt roof isn't frozen
salt, and it isn't underground. On the
contrary, this remarkable lake may be
seen at any time during the year, fully
exposed, being even at its best when the
sun is shining directly upon it. This
wonderful body of water is one Of the
safest of the salt lakes, and is situated
near Obdorsk, Siberia. The lake is nine
miles wide and seventeen long, and
within the memory of man was not en-
tirely rooted over by the salt deposit.
Originally evaporation played the most
prominent part in coating the lake over
with salt, but at the present time the
salt springs which surround it are add
ing fast to the thickness of the crust.
In the long ago rapid evaporation of
the lakes waters left great salt crystals
floating on the surface. In course of
time these caked together Thus the
waters were finally entirely covered. In
1878 the lake found an underground out
let into the River Obi, which lowered
its surface about three feet The salt
crust was so thick. however, that it re-
tanned its old level, and now presents
the curious spectacle Of salt rooted
lake. The salt Goa: increases six inches
In thickness every year. The many is
lands with which the lake is studded are
said to act as braces and To help keep
