Hardly had Philip given the order

the vessel was lmmoyably fixed. His
thoughts then reverted TO the admiral

The gun was fired, and Immediately

Philip looked with astonlshment over

Poison hottie Ornaments.

AT the Metropolitan Museum of Art, in
New York city, there is n great collection
of ancient jewelry, much of it in gold
richly adorned with precious stones. jew
elers in the metropolis frequently visit the
museum for the purpose of obtaining sug-
gestions. This collection at the Metropol-
itan museum is in fact the finest assem-
blage of antique objects of personal orna-
ments in existence. Some of them date as
far back as 900 B. G. Those of them
which are made of silver have been prac-
tically destroyed by oxidation, but the
gold ones being cleaned arc as bright and
new looking as they were $500 or 5000
years ago. The jewelry from Cyprus is
the work of ancient PhBnicians and
Greeks.
