Scrivner is a man of great energy
and dispatch, whose hours are so filled
with activities that he has formed
habit of quick and a sometimes inju-
dicious speed. not for many years
speaking, and however generous his
impulses and correct his life, he does
now and then fume and splurge into
vexatious predicaments. 1t was just
in this fashion and meaning no harm
at all that he encountered a situation
last week that well nigh undid him for
a time
Scrivner rushed into telephone
booth at the Fifth Avenue Hotel and
gave the number of friends tele-
phone up town. 1t was a matter of
business as well as friendship, and
Scrivner had only ten minues before
in Forty-second street. The converse
ton at his end of the wire went like
this:
Hello, Bill. That you?" he said in
his loud and tumbling speech. That's
good. You see, l told you-Hello, Hell

OLD EGyPrs GOLD MINES

Prof. R. D. George of the University
of Colorado suggests that the ancient
Egyptians drew the larger part of their
gold from the old workings near Cop
tos, latitude &c degrees north, and
from the mountains some distance to
the south. The mountains to the south
of Coptos are probably the mines for
which the kings of the twelfth dynasty
sacrificed the lives OF many thousand
men; for the rule of Egyptian kings
who wanted gold was to invade Nubia
iopd take possession of the mines, just
rs when they wanted copper they
drove back the nomadic tribes of ST.
mai and built fortresses to protect their
miners. The Nubian gold workings of
which Prof. George speaks are placed
in an almost inaccessible mountain
group surrounded on all sides by a
waterless desert. Here may be seen
tunnels and shafts penetrating the
mountains to almost unknown depths.

MANNER OF HOLDING CLASS

A social philosopher has discovered
that an act very commonly regarded as
an effectation of gentility, as found in
the manner of holding a drinking glass
when drinking from it, is not an af-
fectation at all, but really an uncon-
scious, automatic act.
This supposed affectation consists in
extending the third and fourth fingers
of the hand clear of the glass when it
is lifted and tipped forward with its
brim to the lips and while the glass
is held there in the act of drinking.
No doubt it would commonly be con-
sidered that people do this for the
sake of greater elegance, or at least
from an instructive desire to give to
the hand such an appearance, which it
would not possess if they closed the
entire hand around the glass-if they
clutched it, SO to speak, a manner OF
holding that would seem to SAVIOR of
rudeness.
But this observer says that really
people hold those two fingers clear of
the glass in drinking because that is
the way that is most convenient. If.
he says, a person should grasp the
glass with the whole hand closed snug
1y around it he would find that the
act of tipping the glass SO held re-

quired more muscular effort, for the
muscles extending from all the fingers
would then be called into use Where
as if the person drinking holds the
glass between the thumb and the first
two fingers he not only relieves the
tension on the muscles of the two
other fingers, but also in a way he
pivots the glass and makes it easier
to tip on that account. Thus the sep
aration of the two fingers from the
glass is a perfectly natural act.
This philosopher comedies that the
act may be exaggerated; that fingers
thus extended might even be seen
raised and extended more than was
really comfortable for the better dis
play of rings adjoining them, and he
comedies that sometimes when we see
our fingers thus raised as we lift our
glass, in clear view of all, We may
seek to crook the fingers in attitudes
of curves of greater grace and SO he
comedies that in some cases the rails
ing of the fingers in lifting the glass
may show affectation in some meas
ure, but his point is that in its original
inception and in the practice by the
many the elevation of these two fin
gers is not an affectation, but an act
quite unconscious and automatic

Three hundred stone huts shelter
800 mills used in pulverizing the ore !;
immense cisterns once caught the
scanty water supply from the upper
slopes; and near them stand the slop-
ing tables on which pulverized ore was
washed. Records show that these
mines were worked with little inter
ruption for twenty centuries by the
Egyptians, and there is no means of
knowing how long they were worked
by the Nubians before them
In the inscriptions of the New EN-
pire various kinds or grades of gold
are mentioned; and in one of the Tell
el-Amarna letters, written during the
eighteenth dynasty, the king of Baby
Ion accuses Amenophis III. of Egypt of
sending him a mass of base metal for
gold. He says: The twenty minas
of gold you sent me contained, when
melted down, only five minas of pure
gold" So that the gold brick even
then was not unknown.
