The Fiddle DrIIl.

The eddie drill" is one of the Oldest
stonecutting tools In existence. It is
said to antedate Greek sculpture and
is In use today in about the same form
as 1t was 1000 years ago As its name
implies, Its action resembles fiddle.
The drill Is ofstwo pieces. In one hand
aaeaEver holds the drill stock, which Is
Ike a carpenters brace, except that It
is4 straight instead Of having crank.
In the other hand he holds the bow"
which Is strung with brass wire and
which Is given turn around the drill
stock. q To use the drill the carver
places the drill stock against his breast.
holding 1t with his left hand and with
bis right lhe draws the bow back and
forth, fiddle fashion. This mparts q
rotary motion to the drill stock, and
the drill Is ground to cut In either way
1t turns. THE fiddle drills used in the
finest work. In crevIces where the
sculptor could not reach with his chisel
and hammer without endangering the
carving. y. 81 4, L d,

Arrow shields.

The other day saw little, modern
book, In green cover Oh table In
a drawing rom. I picked 1t up. IL
was about the early French in Canada,
and my eve fell on copy Of draw
Ing by their leader, ChampIin, or Cham
plain. The seine represented was an
attack by the native allies of the
French, the Algonquins, on fort held
by Iroquois. The Algonquins advanced
through showers of arrows under
shields nearly IS tall as themselves,
Ike doors with rounded tops. Now.
you may see exactly the same sort of
shields in picture Of lion hunt, in
laid In gold and silver, on the bronze
blade OF dagger found by DR.. Schlie-
mann in ''the grave of Agememnon."
These monstrous Mycenaean shields
cause much discussion among the learn
ed, Why We're they so huge? The AL
gonqulns used the very same shields,
hung from their necks. and the reason
was the same-thair battles were bat
ties of archers, and nobody can parry
a shower of arrows with a smaller
shield. Shields grew small in Greece
es bow and arrow went out and sword
and spear came in.-London Illustret-
