Ancient Roman Frontier Marks.

Ancient ROman tFOnCler MARKS,
An interesting discovery has re-

Mountains Ga few miles north Of
Frankfort Main) by the German
Imperial Commission for the Inyes-
tigation of Antiquities. 1t had been
noticed some years ago that in those
places where the Lines Trans-Rhe-
nanus Ga wall of earth bordering on
moat) was changed in character so
as to become similar to the Lines
Rhaeticus "a stone wall without a
moat), there was a small trench run
ming alongside at distance of about
six yards from the wall.
This was also found to be the case
at Hunheim, in Bavaria, and in other
places where, at Mommsen's instiga-
tion, a thorough examination had
also been made Of the Lines Rhaeti-
Gus. AS aresult Of Investigations in
this trench, undertaken at the in
stance of Herr Jacob, one Of the gov
eminent surveyors, what was evil
IDENTIFY the original Roman frontier
mark was met with at about two feet
below the surface. The frontier was
delineated by series OF blocks of
stone some distance apart from one
another. Underneath these stones
were found the various marks Of the
Roman surveyors. Elsewhere exca-
vations showed that the frontier was
marked by other means, such as
black earth or wooden pegs. London

Slot Machine, in Ancient Egypt.

Ancient Egypt is "looking up" in
every way. Some of its contrlvances
appear TO have been quite up to
date. Actually, they had already
more than 1000 years ago what we call
~ penny in the slot" for the extrac-
ton of something useful, pleasant or
otherwise desirable. Heron, the
philosopher Of Alexandria, describes
an automatic machine which he as
serts to have been in use in the
Egyptian temples for a long time
past, even before his time. BY
throwing a piece of money IN the
slot the worshipers received some
consecrated water through valve.
The stature or stand the two-armed
lever with its closing valve and the
other details of the machine are all
correctly described. James Ga

grow out of it, whether any member Of

involved in acts of violence or not.

An Old-Timer Says 1t IL Not What It

Sheep-shearing isn't what 1t was some
years ago, says an old-timer at the
business. The truth is the sheeprais-
ers can't afford to pay much with the
low price wool is bringing. But even
at these low rates we can make m re
than at anything else. We work in
crews and have a regular circuit that
we traverse every season. Our crews
consist of from six to twelve men. We
enter into q contract to shear so many
sheep a day-say SOD or 1000. We
have turned cut l.lOO a day. 1 can
shear 100, and there is one in our crew
who can take off l:a. We can make SIS
or s6 a day eech, anyhow, now. Some
fine sheep, and then the wages run all
the way from So to So per day. And
when they want the sheep "stubble
shorn," that l., leaving the wool about
an inch long. so that the merchant can
examine it. We got fancy ~prices-say,
$l.5O per head. This takes time and
skill, and one is doing we'll to put off
five or six head a day, though some
who are extra handy with the shears
can do much better.
We usually anchor on q big ranch,
where there are 10000 or 30, 900 head,
and corral them. putting them out in
two or three weeks. Sometimes sheep-'
raisers have bands brought to us, LOO
to 1000 in a band; sometimes we go
from ranch to ranch and clean them
up a. we go. We have Travelled as far
as forty miles to a sheep camp. We
put the sheep on a platform twelve
inches high and the fleece is taken off
