Wa. There AN Age of Copper:

NJ. Bertheiot. the well known French
te~chnicist. in a communication to the
Academic dies Sciences. states his belief
in the some time existence of an age of
y y in addition to the three rccog-
nized archaeological cons Of stone. bronze
Copper AMI TIM and iron. He bases his
opinion chiefly upon an analysis of a
piece of copper which had been folnd by
N. de Sarzec III the course Of antigua
rian Investigations in a~iesopotamia. or
Al Jezira. as the Arabs designate the
famous stretch Of country between the
Euphratps and the Tigris. The fragment
thus chemically determined proves to
have neither tin nor zinc entering into
its composition. there being simply traces
of lead and arsenic.
Water and the atmosphere had made
ravages into the specimen. which was
practically d suboXide or IL compound OF
protoxide and metallic copper. As the
ruins from which the piece Of iletal was
taken are au'horitatiy.ly considered to
be more ancient than ever those Of BABY
lon. NJ. Bert!lelot does not hesitate to
prolnulgate the theory that an age of
copper preceded the bronze and iron
periods. especially a. the examination Of
the component parts OF a portion of a
metallic sccpter which. il Is ALLEGED. he

Carrying the Colors In Battle.

At Gaines Mill, where Gregg's First
South Carolina regiment bore the brnnt
Of an assault upon a certain strong posi-
ton while moving forward at a run,
young James Taylor. q lad Of Is. was
carrying the flag and was killed after
being shot down three times, twice ris-
ing and struggling onward with the col
ors. The third time he fell the flag was
seized by George Cotchett, and when he
in turn fell by Shubrick Hayne. Hayne
also was struck down almost immedi-
ately, and a fourth lad-for none of these
men was w go years old-grasped the
colors and fell MORALLY wounded across
the body of his friend.
The fifth, Gadsden Holmes, was pierced
with no less than seven balls. The sixth
man, Dominick Spellman, more fortu-
nate. but not less brave, bore the flag
throughout the rest Of the battle.-Cos-
mopOlitan.

The probl II has troubled many why
two pieceso of wood. sawed from the same
section of ii tree, should possess very
varied characteristics when used in diff
ferent positions. For example. a gate
post will be found to decay much faster
if the butt end of the tree is upperlnost
than would he the ease it the top were
placed in this position. The reason is
that the moisture of the atmosphere will
permeate the pores of the wood much
more rapidly tie way the tree grew than
it would if in the opposite direction.
Microscopical examination proves that
the pores invite the ascent of moisture.
while they rerel its descent. Take the
familiar case of n wooden bucket. MANY
may have noticed that ONE If the stavcs
appear to be entirely saturated. while
others are apparently quite dry. This
arises from the same cause.-The dry
slaves are in the position in which the
tree grew, while the saturated ones are
reversed.-Lonlon Tit-Bits.

No missiyings need apply to the case

the great line of docks on the Mersey for
nearly seven miles. Its carriages are Of
full size. not arranged like a tram car,
but like the ordinary passenger car of
the United States, each being i'll two
compartments and caparla Of seating -

motor Of from 20 tn 20 horsepower. and
the speed will be as high AS 80 miles an
hour.

matter .o which thes 3ave given iiitle

The wind was fresh. and we wore ran

Our mariners " re- deceived III thUit cal

that the currents had carried us into the

NJ. de rAisuille. an officer Of superior
merit. who nevertheless displayed some
times too lauch of the confidence Of
youth. replied with II smile. Those

He accordingly gave that order. and
during its execution. the fog having sud
denly cleared away. we perceived az
about 200 yards from us the rocks against
which our feet would inevitably have
persisted. Fortunately the whole squad

An English Boys knowledge Of Literature.

Every n who is not "A s~choolmaster Is
aware that "A Young Englishman knows
almost nothing Of the literature of his
own land. and what little he does know
he dislikes. because he has had at schoo.
to translate it into Latin. 1t is most hu-
initiating TO heal an American youth
discourse upon this matter while our
own sons sit mum and glum. Efforts
have been made of late to find out what
our boys do read for their own pleasure.
and the result of these inquiries seems to
be that they read the accounts of prize
fights.
One headmaster tries to prove that
this is derived from the influence Of
Homer. but it is much more likely that
it comes from a perusal of the sporting
newspapers and the general devotion to
athletics. From whatever cause it arises,
it is certainly true that while there is no
deficiency Of good poetry and good fc-
ton among us the rising generation
cares for neither.-London illustrated
