A Minor Triumph of Science.

From the Hartford Times.
1t Is well known that the original inhab b.
itants of this country mined copper In the
Lake Superior region. In Isle Royale,
where the copper-bearing stratum Is nearly
horizontal, the shallow excavations of the
Indians or Of the mound builders who pre-
ceded them are very evident. From many
of the graves Of the early races copper in
struments and ornaments have been ex-
humed. A few articles have been found
which seemed to indicate a high degree of
skill In the makers. and 1t has long been a
question whether some of them were not
brought to the country by the Spaniards
in the sixteenth century and acquired by
the Indians in exchange for skins or as
presents.
The question has been settled by chemical
analysis. Lake copper contains little sill
Yer and iron and a trace of arsenic but
no lead or antimOny. Spanish copper fire.
quently contains lead and almost inva-
riably trace Of antimOny. So unvarying
is the composition that a chemist is able to
say decisively, This bit of copper came
from the lake region and this other did
not" Nearly all the implements found in
Indian or mound builders graves are lake
copper, and 1t Is quite evident that the men
who worked it had attained considerable
skill, though their tools were nothing but
stone hammers A few Of the more artistic
articles are certainly not lake copper and
were in all probability obtained from the
Spaniards. Science discriminates positively
between the sources Of the metal even 60
ing so far as to point out the exact original
locality.

Confiscation in Morocco.
From Blackwood's Magazine.


1t is a custom in Morocco that all the
property of an official reverts at death to
the crown. The logic which leads to such
a result is simple, for the government ar
CUES that all fortunes thus accumulated
consist OF moneys Illegally retained by the
authorities. A governor when appointed is
probably possessed of no considerable for
tune. When he dies he may be million
aire. Whence came this wealth? Squeezed
most certainly from tn. tribes under his
authority. and therefore amassed only nv
the prerogatives OF the position in which
tho sultan had placed him. 1t has never
struck the Moorish government that these
81 eat fortunes might more honorably lie
returned to the people from whom they
were stolen. The result Is entire confisca-
tion to the crown, including often such ,fi-
vate property as his governor may have
been possessed Of before his appointments.
and not seldom, too, of the property of his
relatives.
When the mighty fall in Morocco the
crash brings down with them their fami-
lies even uncles and cousins and all con-
nected with them, and it Is not seldom
that the sons of great governors, who have
been brought up In the luxury Of slaves aud
horses and retinues OF mounted men. have
to 90 begging In the streets.

A Strange Biblical Story.
rom the London Chronicle.


A Rome correspondent writes that the
Corriere della Sera, the leading journal of
South Italy, publishes the following extra
ordinary piece of news:
ION July 13, 1879. there died at Jerusa-
lem an aged hermit named Core. who in
his lifetime was reputed to be saint. Hav-
ing left behind HIM small fortune. the
governor sought cut his relatives and hand
ed them 200, ,0O0f. in the coinage of various
countries which had been found in the cave
where the hermit had lived for many years.
Together with this money the relatives re-
ceived certain documents which they wera
unable to decipher. Some time later sew
eral learned Hebraists had an opportunity
of examining them and then discovered to
their surprise that they were written I'm
very ancient Hebrew. On deciphering the
documents they read: Peter the Fisher
man, servant of Jesus. Son of Mary, thus
speaks to the people in the name and by
the will of the Lord. And the epistle end
ed: L, Peter the Fisherman. in the name
Of Jesus, and in the ninetieth year of my
life have decided to write these words of
love. three Paschs after the death Of my
Lord and Master Jesus Christ. Son of Mary,
in the house of Boiler, near to the Lords
temple. The SavantS concluded that the
manuscript dated from the days Of Peter.
both on account of its archaic form and
because St. Mark in his Gospel says that
the venerable apostle wished to pen an
eristle to those to whom it is attributed %.
The London Bible Society is Of the same
opinion and after having submitted the
palimpsest to expert examination is now
offering 400. Geo lire to the hermits heirs for
its acquisition"
