Bread Of the Ancients.

From the Philadelphia Post
Ioaves OF bread thousands of years old
have recently furnished an interesting
study to scientists abroad Profs. Brahm
and Buchwald have analysed a number
of specimens found in Egyptian tombs and
DIR. Lindet has examined some old Roman
bread dating back to before the Christian
era. The Egyptian bread was more than
$500 years old but was still recognizable
as cereal product prepared by baking
Nay, grains still retained their peculiar
structure, while dead yeast cells were plain
ly discernible. The grain of which the
bread was composed was emmer. which is
related to our modern wheat. These an
cient Egyptian loaves had the appearance
of being charred as II by fire-a circum-
stance due to slow oxidation by the at
mospkere. going on through thousands of
years. 1t was ascertained by experiment
that the same effect could be produced
upon new bread by exposing it for forty
eight hours to temperature of 22O degrees
Fahrenheit. In either case the process was
one OF combustion
The yeast employed in making the ancient
loaves was probably of the same kind as
the Israelites in the days of the great
Pharoah the Oppressor used. calling ii

At this point the tunnel will be above the

For several days residents in the vicinity
of the LIST street opening of the tunnel have
been removing their household effects to

be remembered, was destroyed by an erup-

GOING TO ALASKA
DIR. TITTMAN TO INSPECT THE
WORK OF THE SURVEYORS
Aluminium Markers to Be Set Up to
Show the True Bound
ary Lines.

The work of marking the boundary line
between Alaska and Canada at the points
that were disputed for SO many years, Is
being proceeded with by parties Of sur
veyors representing this country and Can
ada. The marking follows the award OF
the recent Alaska commission that met in
London, and the accuracy of the work Is
to be testified to by DR.. c. H. Ttttman.
chief of the coast and geodetic survey, for
| the United States and w. P. King. chief
| astronomer of the interior department OF
Canada, for that country. DR.. Tittman
will leave Washington this week for Alas
ka, and he and Mr.. King will meet to in
spect the work that has been done and to
direct further progress. DR.. Tittman and
Mr.. King are the commissioners of their re-
Spective countries, and the responsibility
of seeing that the work Is done right rests
upon them.
The surveying and marking parties were
put to work a month ago. They began on
country, these being the most important
parts of the country and in the regions
where the greatest number of disputes have
| arisen. Many valuable mining interests are
also centered in that region. AS soon as
possible monuments will also be erected
along the 141st meridian. This Is the north
ern section of the boundary line, while the
Lynn canal and the Stikine river are on
ocean to Mt. st. Elias the distance is LOO
miles. This cannot be marked throughout
in one season because of the short season.
and it may take several years to complete
the work, which is being paid for by both
countries out of a special fund. The State
Department has a special appropriation Of
s1O0, 900 to pay for the work of the Amert-
cans
The purpose of the boundary commission
ers is to mark the boundary by the i'm
portant streams and on the accessible
mountain tops first. By the streams and
in the valleys the boundary is being mark
ed by obelisks of brown aluminium five
or six feet high, one side containing the
words United States and the other Can
ada" On the mountain ranges the ODE
lisks will be smaller. but just as distinct,
as nothing is to be left to chance in clear
ly setting forth the boundary line. The
mountain monuments will be cone shaped
and will be sunk in beds Of rock SO as
to be permanent
DR.. Tittman does not know how long
he will be in Alaska how long the
marking will take. 1t will be pushed as
rapidly as possible, consistent with per-
manent and satisfactory work.

think of to avoid a reduction in wages, and
took that final step only when driven to do
so to save their business. On the other
hand, the operatives say that the conditions

warrant such reduction.
