AN ANCIENT BLACKSMITH

i A remarkable statue of the Gallo Roman
period OF a blacksmith has been excavated
in Paris, in a small cemetery on the Rue
Cassfni near Observatoire The figure
wears striped cap. The face is broa
and beardless, and the features are most
expressive. This is the only real statue
OF a blacksmith in Paris of the ancient
times; all others are mere figures of VuI-
can. Under the statue was found the skel-
eton of a powerful man, probably the
blacksmith represented. Coins discovered

A RELIC OF HERoDoTUs

Recent excavations on the site of an
Gent Naucratis on the delta of the Nile
have brought to light, among other things,
a possible relic Of Herodotus, to whose de-
scription of the luxurious Greek settlement
we owe most OF our knowledge Of it. He
visited the city in the latter part Of the
fifth century B. C. The relic in question
IS the base of painted vase inscribed
'Herodotou. This vase was found with
in the Hellenic precinct, and seeing the
comparative rarity of the name and the
coincidence Of the date Of the vase as
judged by its fabric and the lettering Of
the dedication, with the probable epoch
OF the Halicarnassian's visit. it is plaus-
ible guess that this vase had some direct
connection with the father of history.
