BRONZE OF THE LAKE DwELLkRs
Made Into Various Articles and OI ma
mentS.

ments.
Bronze was very extensively used by
the Swiss lake jewellers in the manu-
facture of a great variety of things
useful and ornamental, such as swords,
knives, fish hooks, jayelin heads, pins,
needles, bracelets, etc. Their brOuze
swords were similar to those found in
other parts of Europe of the same era,
rather short, broad, and thick; some
plain, others highly ornamented. Their
bronze knives are of two patterns,
some very large and curved, and thick
on the convex edge. These were evil
IDENTIFY intended for hard usage, prob
ably in harvesting, for we know that
these people raised barley, wheat and
fax. The smaller knives were of finer
workmanship, averaging about five
inches in length, very thin, and now,
after having lain buried in the mud of
the lake for 90 centuries or more, still
have fine, cutting edges.
The javelin and spear heads resemble
those of Roman and Etruscan make,
and perhaps many of them were forged
in Rome and welded by the Roman
invaders of Helvetia. The bronze fish
hooks are almost identical in form with
those of iron used by us to-day, hav-
ing at the end of the shaft a fiat head
to retain the line, and a sharp point
and barb. They are recovered in great
quantities. The needles of bronze are
very much like those of bone, but
rather heavier. The pins are of all sizes
snd many patterns, and were employed
principally as ornaments. They range
in length from two to Is inches, and
some of them must have been beautiful
when new. Specimens of them are
seen finely engraved with fancy fig
ures their entire length; some with
fiat, ornamental heads; others sur
mounted by balls or other designs an

The Battle AGAINST Dipbtberi.

DIR. Smirnow, a. Russian physician,
has devised a new method of procuring
antitoxin for diphtheria, and his ex-
periments are described as highly sue
cessful. He prepares his antitoxin, or
curative serum, by substituting dip
theritic poison to electrical decompo-
sition. In this way he reduces its viru-
lence to point at which it can be safe
ly injected into the blood of an animal.
The animal thus treated is not only rem
dered immune to diphtheria, but if al
ready suffering from the disease is
cured. The new antitoxin can be pre-
pared very quickly, and it is said to be
much more effective IN it's operation
than the older form, which requires
weeks for it's preparation. DIR. Smir-
now has not yet, however, experimental
upon human subjects, his most impor-
ant patients being dogs, which, of all
animals, are said to be perhaps the most
susceptible to diphtheria poison

Glass Helmets Declared by a French
Professor to BE the Proper Thing.

Glass Helmets Declared by n French
Professor to BE the Proper Thing.
Prof. Lannelongue, famous French
scientist and collaboration of Prof.
Cookies, has invented hamlet made Of
strontiuin glass. for the purpose of
warding off the suns X rays. Although
most people do not realize it, sunlight
contains certain proportion of what
are called X rays. If these are DETECTED
at certain angle they will blister hu-
man flesh. The causes of this detection
are trivial in themselves, but Prof. Lam
nelongue claims that they are none the
less powerful because of the results
they bring about. He believes that it is
about what is known as sunstroke, and
that if the proper means were taken to
defect them again such thing as sun
stroke would become almost unknown.
| The attention of this distinguished
surgeon was first called to the peculiar
] effects of the SUMS rays by an incident
that he witnessed. He was watching
number of children who were playing
! in courtyard in the shadow of a wall,
the top of which was in strong sunlight.
| Suddenly several of the children began
to act in most peculiar manner, dane
| ing around, each with his hand on bis
head, crying out. 'My head burns!"
| Prof. Lannelohgue at once went to the
place where the children were at play,
/ snd, examining their heads, found bis
tiers on the scalp of every one. In trying
to account to himself for the pheRom-
enon he wondered if the blisters had
been produced by X rays projected from
| the top of the wall. He instituted in his
| laboratory a series of experiments on
several persons. Some of these when
exposed to the action of the rays, were
protected by strOnium glass, and shese
| were not at all injured. Other persons
experimental upon who were not sim
ilarly protected were burne.f in the
same manner as the children had been.
After carefully studying this prablem
the professor came to the conclusion
that his accidental observation of the
children at play was likely to result in
revelation as to sunstroke, its cause,
effect and remedy. He called to mind
the fact that among the ancient Greeks
sunstroke or anything corresponding
thereto was unknown. He also remem-
bered that these same ancients covered
their heads with brass helmets and
their chests and backs with cuirasses OF
metal that is known to have been of a
nature that is impervious to X rays.
1t was plain, however, that people could
never be induced to wear a helmet made
of metal of sufficient density to prove
Opaque to the X rays, and then the
thought came to him that perhaps
strontium glass would solve the prob
lem. Therefore he has determined to
begin the manufacture of glass hel NETS
as an absolute protection from the
deleterious effects of the rays Of the
sun on very warm days. To this ED he
is organizing company and hopes be-
fore long to place quantities of it's prod
uct upon the market.--N. Y. Herald.
