HOOKS TO HOLD the MEAT.

Until carving is taught in the public
schools as a part of the general pro-
gram of education the average man
will never become an artist as a carver.
There are very few people who can
develop a system without having a
foundation plan of some sort for a
guidance, and, despite the unlversality
of the cookbook in the modern home,
very few men ever reach that perfec-
ton in their allotted task that they
look for in the housewife in the culin-
airy department. However, the in
structions to cut along the line c ID
to the line A b, etc, are no longer as
cabalistic in significance as they once
were. True. the primitive appliances
for carving have for the most part not
improved much, except in the matter
of form or shape; but this is all to be
changed in the near future, as Chi
cago inventor has devised a carving
appliance that should make the task
almost mechanical. This device Is

BaDylonia. Despite the discoveries of
the fine old crematorlum. the first that
has come to light, and of the use of
the arch In Babylonia as early as
1000 b. c., the finding of this ancient
work of almost prehistoric art is one
OF the most interesting results of the
expedition. When found it was lying
upon its back, its head was missing,
and the toes, which were broken from
the feet at the time of its fall from
the platform above, We're lying lust
beneath II. The head was later re-
covered from another part OF the ruin.
In places, especially upon its face, Is
an incrustatlon Of saltpeter, common
TO objects which have long been buried
in the soil of Babylonia; other parts
OF the statue are as perfect as when
1t left the hands OF its sculptor.
The statue is IS centimeters high
and 81 in the circumference of its
skirt The head is bald, the face
beardless, the triangular eye sockets,
TO which Ivory eyeballs We're once lit
ted and held in place by means of
bitumen, are now hollow. The shoul-
ders are broad and square, the body
thick and short. the well-shaped arms
are free from the body, and the hands,
according to the usual Babylonlan
custom, are clasped In front. The up
per half of the statue is nude, and
from the waist Is suspended an EN-
broidered or pleated skirt intended to
represent heavy wool or fur. TO give
support to the statue, the bare feet
are imbedded In the pedestal. Upon
the right shoulder, the clearly cut in
scrlptlon of three lines in the old
Sumerian or pre-Babylonlan language,
reads as follows:
(rhe Temple) Eshar,
King Daudu Daud-Dayld),
King (of) Udnunkl.
The name of the king is entirely |
new to Assyrlologists. The names of |
the city and temple were first read
upon the great stone OF Hammurabi, |
recently discovered by the French in |
Persia.
The age Of the statue is beyond |
doubt several centuries more than six |
thousand years; the approximate date
of 4500 b. @. Is fixed In several differ
ent ways.
First, the archaic character of the |
writing Is that employed only In the
long antedating the early
Babylonian king, Sargon, OF $500 b.
G. The characters OF the inscription |
are lineal and nearly hleroglyphic; the
wedge-shaped characterS'were not yet
developed
Second, the statute when found was
lying beneath the platforms OF sew
eral reconstructed temples. The up
permost OF the platforms contained |
bricks inscribed with the name of
Dungi. of 2750 B. c.; beneath It was
a platform constructed OF the bricks
OF sargon, $500 B. O.; still lower were
traces Of several other reconstructjons.
The statue was beneath all of these,
among the ruins OF temple built OF |
small plano-convex bricks which all
Assyriologsts assign to the middle of
the fifth millennium b. @.
Third, the style OF the art, the tri-
eyes, the nose forming
a straight line with the forehead, the
style OF dress employed only at that
