Antiquity of the Saw.

Saws were used by the ancient Egyp-
tians. One that was discovered, with
several other carpenters tools, in a
private tomb at Tebes is now preserved
in the British Museum. The blade,
which appears to be of iron, is ten and
a half inches long, and an inch and a
quarter broad at the widest part. The
teeth are irregular, and appear to have
been formed by striking a blunt edged
instrument against the edge of the
plate, the bur- a rough shoulder, thus
produced not being removed.
A painting, copied in Rossellinis
work on Egyptian antiquities, repre-
sents man using similar saw, the
piece of wood he is cutting being held
between two upright posts. In other
representations the timber is bound
with ropes to a single post, and in one,
copied by Rossellini, the workman is
engaged in tightening the rope, having
left the saw sticking in the cut.
In an engraving given in the third
volume of 'sWilkinson's Manners and
Customs of the Ancient Egyptians, a
saw is represented of much larger di-
mensions, it's length being, by compari-
son with the man, not less than three
or four feet. 1t does not appear that
the Egyptians used saws worked hy
two men.-HardWare.

AFRo-AMERIcANs TALK.
What They Did at Their Three ses-
sions Yesterday.

The congress of Afro-American
Leagues was in session all day yester-
day and until a late hour last night.
in the Senate chamber
President J. J. Neimore read his an
nual report, which was document
glowing with hope for the future OF
the league. He said it was with pleas
ure that he noted that the members
had fully recovered from an apparent
setback in 1896. The earnestness of
the members now, however, convinced
him of coming prosperity.
Secretary T. B. Morton's report
showed a delinquency of S212.5O in
league accounts. He said he was him
self out of pocket S13T06, that being
the sum he had paid out for postage
and current debts of the order. he
believed many leagues would pay their
per capita taxes when their charters
We're duly issued-not before. In con-
clusion, he said:
I'VE need to guard against various
evils There has been too much poll
tical trickery among ourselves, toe
much knitting of one another for the
purpose of carrying out personal and
political schemes"
A number of resolutions on various
subjects were adopted yesterday after
noon, which may be summarized as
follows: Expressing sympathy with
Captain Dreyfus; opposing the use OF
the league for political purposes; de-
nouncing lynch law and the abuse OF
negroes in the South; favoring move
ment to acquire lands in this State to
further the teaching of agricultural
pursuits to colored men, also favoring
a wider industrial education of ne
groes; sympathy for the widow and
children of the late Robert G. Ingersoll,
who was characterized as the black
mans steadfast and eloquent friend
thanking C. P Huntington for setting
aside ], $50 acres of land in Virginia TO
be used for Industrial purposes and
for a reform school for colored peo-
pie; favoring the organization Of a Cd
operative branch of the league in Cali
fornia to encourage the industrial and
agricultural education of the colored
people.

Captain Aull was reelected Warden of

that Brainard f. Smith was reelected

However, it gave opportunity to say a
