Ancient Chains.

In an interesting article on the sub
ject of chains an English writer points
to the fact that notwithstanding the
frequent mention of chain in the Bible
the article is comparatively new. The
same author says:
Some authorities give the BritOns
credit for originating the cable chain
because Julius Cesar is recorded as
having been unable to cut the cables of
the Gaul's vessels. 'as they were made
of iron This may have been chain in
the present acceptation of the term.
but it is doubtful, because the first pat

years. and in consideration of it White
had to pay e5 in lawful money yearly
