A LOST ART.
The Blend Of Metals Which CertaiM
Races Used For Tools.

Fame and fortune await the lucky In.
dividual who can rediscOver the COM
binatiOn of metals from which the
Egyptians, the Aztecs and the Incas
Of Peru made their tools and arms.
Though each of these nations reached
high state of civilization none Of
them ever discovered iron in spite of
the fact that the soil of all three cOun-
tries was largely impregnated with it.
Their substitute for it was cOmbina-
ton of metals which had the temper
of steel. Despite the greatest efforts
the secret Of this composition has baf-
fled scientists and has become lost
art The great explorer, Humboldt,
tried to discover 1t from an analysis
of a chisel found in an ancient Inca
silver mine, but all that he could find
out was that it appeared to be COM
binatiOn of a small portion of tin with
copper. This combination will not give
the hardness of steel, so it is evident
that tin and copper could not have been
its only component parts. Whatever
might nave Deen lne nature VI lnS Ile-
tallic combination, these ancient races
were able so to prepare pure copper
that it eQualed in temper the finest
steel produced at the present day by
the most scientifically approved proc
ess. With their bronze and copper In
struments they We're able to 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
revolutionize many trades in which
steel at present holds the monopoly.
If copper could thus be tempered now
its advantage over steel would be very
great, and it would no doubt be pre-
ferred to the latter in numerous indus
tries 1t is a curious fact that, though
this lost secret still battles modern sci
entists, 1t must have been discovered
independently by the three races which
made use of it so long agO.-New York

suppress it, but remove the cause. The
cough is only symptom Of some dis

cure, then the cough will stop of itself.
The most common cause of coughing is
cold Anodyues will promptly suppress
the cough, and preparations containing
chloroform, opium, ETC., are used for
that purpose, but they do not cure the
cold. Chamberlain Cough Remedy on
the other hand does not suppress the

ROBBED MAN WHO'D TREATED.
Clark's Good Nature Got Hin Into Trouble
Two Assistants Arrested.

John Clark. a musician, recently moved
to SIC East Eighteenth street. and, wishing
to make friends in the neighborhood. offered
to play the violin on Saturday night in a
saloon recently opened on the corner of
Eighteenth street and Avenue A.
The saloonkeeper was as ignorant as the
musician Of the reputation Of some Of the
young men that pass much OF their time
in that neighborhood. The police say
there is at least one holdup on the block
between Avenue A and Avenue B every
Saturday night
The musician didn't learn this up to the
time of going to the saloon on Saturday
night. He played in the back room and at
intervals treated several Of the young men
in the pace. He had $84 with him and dis
played the money. When midnight came
he started to go home.
Hes the man for US, he overheard one
man say to another. He thought at the
time the man referred to his generosity
followed him from the saloon, and when he
got opposite lumber yard in the middle
Of the block they attacked him.
One OF the men rided his pockets and took
his gold watch, chain and $50 In money.
Policeman Straus Of the East Twenty-sec-
ond street station saw the scuff1e from the
corner and ran down in time to catch two Of
the assailants. On the way to the station
half a dozen young men tried to rescue
the prisoners. but Straus used his night
stick effectively.

JIMMY .MARCH'S AMBITION.

Wants to he Railroad Commissioner-Says
He's Had the Experience.
The Hon. Jimmy March, Port Warden
and Republican leader Of the Sixth As
sembly district, announced yesterday that
there will be no free excursion to Green
wood Lake this summer for his constit-
uents. The Hon. Jimmy's excursions In
the past have been largely attended. and
there Is no Joy in the district since the
word was passed around.
Ever since the Hon. Jimmy was made
leader of the Sixth and through his dealings
with the Erie Railroad ran an annual ex-
cursion to Greenwood Lake free to every
one. it has been the event Of the season.
Even Big Tim Sullivan's outing did not
cause as much stir and hustle in the neigh
borhood, as Big Tim runs nothing but stag
rackets, while the Hon. Jimmy includes the
families.
When the Hon. Jimmy got word from
the Erie road officials that there would be
no more excursions to Greenwood Lake
be looked about for another place, but,
he said yesterday, he could not fnd one
suitable. He was thinking Of hiring Luna
Park for day, but the most OF his con-
stituents have been there.
The Hon. Jimmy has another think on
tap He thinks he would like to be ap-
pointed on the State Board of Railroad
Commissioners, there being vacancy
now. Gov. Higgins said that he would
appoint none but practical railroad man,
and as the Hon. Jimmy has been connected
with the Erie Railroad for years Fast, at
first as aborer and then as furnisher OF
laborers, he thinks he has all the practical
experience required.
