SAWS OF ANCIENT ORIGIN.

Christian Era.

Wore In Cso Centuries Before tho
Christian Era.
Saws were used by the ancient Egyp-
tlans. One that was discovered with
several other carpenters tools in a pri-
vate tomb at Thebes Is now preserved
In the British Museum. The blade,
which appears to be OF brass, Is ten
and half inches long and one and a
quarter inches 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, or rough shoulder,
thus produced not being removed. A
painting copied In Rosellini's work on
Egyptian antiquities represents a man
using similar saw, the piece OF wood
which he Is cutting being held between
two upright posts. In other represen-
tations the timber Is bound with ropes
to single post. and in one, also copied
by Rosellini, the workman Is engaged
In tightening the rope. having left the

scented OF much larger dimensions, its
length being by comparison with the
man not much less than three or four
feet. 1t does not appear that the Egyp-
tians used saws worked by two men.
The Invention Of saws was variously
attributed by the Greeks 10 two or
three individuals, who arc supposed
to have taken the idea from the law

fish. There is very curious picture
among the remains discovered in; the
ruins OF Herculaneum, representing the
interior OF carpenters workshop.
with two genii cutting a piece of wood
with frame saw, and on an altar pre-
served in the Capitoline Museum at
Rome there is perfect representation
OF a bow-saw. exactly resembling, in
the form Of the frame and the twisted
cord for tightening it, those used by
modern carpenters. From these re-
mains 1t is evident that these forms of
the instruments were known to tho

A brief statement of England's ocean

says H. Phelps Whitmarsh, in the At
lantic." Great Britain today stands
prominently the mistress of the
worlds shipping interest. Her tonnage
Is greater than that OF all the nations
OF the world put together; her ships
carry fve-eighths Of the deep-water
freight afloat, and she buys and sells
half the cargoes on the ocean. Her
success is no secret; 1t has certainly
not been due to chance, but has grown
from the spirited interest in ships that
every British subject takes, and has
always taken. This spirit has culmi-
mated In the great corporation known
as the British Lloyds," which cor
poration more or less dominates every
vessel, no matter what nationality, that
sails in foreign trade. In its list Of
shipping Uloyds' "Register'D it has
stamped or omitted to stamp the quail
ity of every foreign-going vessel afioat.
:
the marine insurance business to such
an extent that British companies carry
seven-eighths Of the risks Of the world.
For two hundred years, since the days
when underwriters and men connected
with shipping met at the coffee-house
OF Edward Lloyd, in London, and ap-
piled the principles Of marine insur-
ance taught them by the Lombards,
British shipowneFs have sent their
ships to sea with feelings of absolute
safety, for they hold a paper under
written at Lloyds as good as gold, in
case OF accident to their property. The
board OF directors in the corporation
represent the entire shipping interest
or Great Britain. 1t has fifteen hun
dred agents in various parts OF the
world-men with thorough knowledge
OF ships In general. whose duty 1t Is to
report shipping news. AS result,
Lloyds Is q tremendous power; the
words OF its experts are accepted be-
fore parliamentary committees as
truisms. and its authority in the man
ner OF ratings has given it the control

THE POwEH IS ALL RIGHT.

THE POWER IS ALL RIGHT.
The greatest improvements in Super
Tor this year may easily be credited to
James J. Hill of the Great Northern
road. He has enlarged all his facilities
for transacting business, and is still con-
templating additional improvements.
The addition to the Allonez bay ore
dock, and the vast amount of new track
age there, has given rise to report
that Mr.. Hill has recently become in
terested in the Northern Minnesota
iron mines. Let US hope that this is
true. for we have netting to fear from
Mr. Hill. He Is business through and
through; no holding on to property
until some one else makes it valuable
he is in position to 60 ahead and make
it valuable himself, and this he does, at
the same time beneftting others as
well as enrichng himself. Mr.. Hill
has worked magic things in Superior.
lie has inspired other companies and
corporations to rivalry which has forced
them to make all kinds of improve
ments and changes, and today. as con-
sequence, we haye more business. more
men employed, and better prospects
serves the credit for much of the activ-
ity, and the power is all right. What
we want is more men of wealth and
similar energy, and we shall flourish
like green bay tree.
Labor day of 1899 in Superior, as
every where else, clearly demonstrated
that greater number of men are en-
ployed a the present time than for sew
eral years past, and also proved that a
large majority are satisfied with their
work, their pay, and the hours they
have to work. All this must be very
gratifying to the employers of large
forces of men, and we believe the
working men see that their employers
are DISPOSED to do the best possible
thing for them. Let us hope that the
time will soon. be here when capital
and labor will 90 hand in hand, instead
of pulling and hauling at each other
like wild beasts.
The question, who is Emily Craw-
ford, the newspaper correspondent whO
furnishes great deal oil the press news
of the Dreyfus trial, is answered by the
Minneapolis Tribune in the following
manner: Mrs. Crawford is an Irish
woman. Her maiden name was John
stone. She was born in Dublin and
educated there and in Paris. She re-
sided in the latter city q number of
wears, and was the Paris correspondent
of the London Star until her marriage
IN 1861 to George NJ. Crawford, who
served as the representative of the
London Daily News She has been a
frequent contributor to English and
American newspapers, magazines and
reviews, among others Truth, the H.

London Journal the Pail Mall G,zette
the New York Tribune, the Gentle
mems Magazine, the Century and
