Tool. nj Pompe,i.

Prof. Goodman has collected some In.
teresting facts as to the tools OF the
ancient Romans. II Is a marvel how
some OF the instruments and tools
they were in the habit of using could
possibly have been made without such
machinery as we now possess. rrof.
Goodman says the thing that most i'm.
pressed him, when visiting Pompeii,
'sas the resemblance between many
81 the implements OF 1900 years aga
and those Of to-day. ON looking ut the
iron tools grouped together In an old
factory there. he could almost Imagine
he YVES gazing into a modern tool shop
except for the fact that there was 4
coating OF rust on the iron. SIckles, bill
hooks, rakes, forks, axes, spades, black.
smiths tongs. hammers, soldering
irons, planes, shovels, etc, are much
like those used to-day: but the mos,
marvellous instruments found are those
for surgery, beautifully executed, and
OF design exactly similar to some re
Gently patented and reinvented. In.
credible as II may appear, the Pom.
peiians had wire ropes Of perfect con.
struction. Their bronzes reveal grea,
skill and artistic talent. The bronze
brazier and Kitchener had boilers n,
the side. and taps for running or the
hot water. Ewers and urns nave beer
discovered with interior tubes and fur
naces precisely like the arrangement
now In vogue In steam boilers. Meta
safes had substantial locks. MANY OF
the locks and keys are most Ingenious
and some very complex. The wate,
supply OF Pompeii was distributed b,
means OF lead pipes laid under tho
streets. There were many public
drinking fountains, and most OF ths
larger houses were provided witt
fountains, many OF them being of yery
beautiful design.
