The number of alarms answered

A LOST ART.
The BIcpd OF Metals which Certain
Races Used For Tools.

"
Races Used For Tools.
Fame and fortune await the lucky In
dlvidual who can redlscover the COM
binatlon OF metals from which the
Egyptians, the Aztecs and the lncas
OF Peru made their tools and arms.
Though each OF these nations reached
n high state of civilization. none or
them ever discovered iron In spite OF
the fact that the soil OF oil three coun-
tries was largely impregnated with II.
Their substitute for II was n combina-
ton Of metals which had the temper
OF steel. Despite the greatest enorts
the secret OF this composition has baf-
fed scientists and has become lost
art. The great explorer, Humboldt.
tried TO discover IL from an analysis
OF chisel found I'm an ancient Inca
silver mine, but all that he could find
out was that II appeared TO he a com
bination of small portion OF tin with
copper. This combination will not give
the hardness OF steel, so II Is evident
that tin and copper could not have been
its only component parts. Whatever
might have been the nature OF the me
tallic combination, these ancient races
were able so TO prepare pure copper
that IL equalcd I'm temper the finest
steel produced at the present day by
the most scientifically approved proc
ess. With their bronze and copper In
struments they were able 20 quarry
and shape the hardest known stones
such as granite and porphyry. and
even cut emeralds and like substances.
A rediscovery Of this lost art would
revolutionlze many trades In which
steel at present holds the monopoly.
II copper could thus be tempered now
its advantage over steel would be very
great. and Il would no doubt be pre-
ferred 10 the latter In numerous indus
tries. IL Is a curious fact that. though
this lost secret still battles modern sci
entists. II must have been discovered
