RELATING TO IRON.
Discovery of the Metal, According to
Various Authorities.

Discovery of the Metal, According to
Various Authorities.
The Bible speaks Of Tubal Cain as
the discoverer of iron and the father
of smiths. The Egyptians imputed to
HephaeStus the same honor, while PHI
ny mentions it having been discovered
by Dactyles on Mount Ida after the
forests on the mountain side had been
destroyed by lightning. This was about
1882 years 3. c.. jeremiah and Eze-
kiel both mention iron ia their Scrip
tural writings, the latter specially men
tioning two qualities of the metal and
calling one bright iron, which was prob
ably steel
Moses mentions an iron furnace, and
Job speaks of it as being taken out of
the earth Thousands of years before
the opening of the Christian era the
Egyptians used iron in making sickles,
knives and such things. Sparta first
used iron for money. Britain also used
it as d medium of barter and exchange
prior to the conquest by the Romans.
The Britons before the time of Christ
used to export iron to Gaul, and after
the Roman conquest the conquerors es.

SHOE NAILS.
The Way They Are Made and why
They Are So Cheap.

The Way They Are Made and why
They Are So Cheap.
Three million separate shoe nails are
often cast from one ton of metal. OF
the smaller sizes 1000 nails are mold
ed in single mold, and an expert
workman will make eighty molds in an
ordinary working day, thus turning out
100000 separate nails.
When the metal in a liquid state Is
poured into the mold it runs through
the sand in passages provided in the
molding process; the whole of the nails
are cast together and are, when re-
moved from the sand, connected by a
network of iron one with another. In
this condition the iron is as brittle as
glass, and very little force is required
to separate the nails from the network
which holds them together
They then have to undergo the proc
ess known as annealing They are
mixed up with hematite iron ore, which
is in q powdered state, put into iron
pots, and placed in an annealing fur.
mace, a sort of kiln. Here they remain
for some days, care being taken to so
regulate the heat to which they are
subjected that the iron will not be re-
melted, but brought very nearly to
that condition. The action of the raw
iron ore upon the brittle casting is
marvellous. After cooling, it can be
bent without risk of breaking, and it
becomes a useful and serviceable arti-

SYSTEMS OF WRITING.
The Famous Method known as the
BOustrophe dOn.


BOustrophed
About the year 45O B. G. the Ionians
first introduced the system Of writing
from left to right Previous to that
time all s1ribes and penmen in general
had been in the habit of beginning the
line on the right hand side of the page
and running it toward tho left The
Introduction of the left to right mode
Of writing CAUSED considerable confu-
sion for a time, and from the mixed
systems which prevailed during the fol-
lowing century sprang the famed meth
cd known as the boustrophedon. Those
who used the system last mentioned
would begin line at the left margin
of their parchrents and run it through
to the opposite margin and then drop
a space below and run back to the op-
posite edge of the sheet again. In 9th
er words, the boustrophedon mode Of
writing was a system in which the lines
ran alternately from left to right and
from right to left This system did not
entirely disappear until about the time
of Christ. The ancient Hebrew and
Greek languages were written from
right to left, but at about the time the
Ionians were reforming writing meth
DDS the Greek letters were changed in
form from the uncial to the cursive,
and the system of writing was changed
In both cases so as to run from left to
right The following quotation from
Franklin illustrates the mixed, or bous-
trophedon, system of writing:

E!ie Art OF Angling Is as Old ns the
Human Race.
The art of angling no doubt had its
origin in mans necessities. The earli-
est record. of mankind makes reference
to the taking of fish for food. There
are frequent illusions to it In the Bible.
Job. In the oldest book Of all, says:
"Canst thou draw out leviathan with
a hook or his tongue with cord which
thou lettest down? Canst thou put
hook in his nose? Homer, i'll the
"Iliad," speaks of fishing in these lines:
AS bearing death in the fallacious bait,
From the bent angle sinks the leaden
weight
And it is recorded in the odyssey"
AS when the angler. his long rod in hand,
ON a projecting rock assumes his stand,
Casts to the fiery fry the baited snare,
Then filings the wriggling captives in the
air.
The Romans, Greeks and other races
of early days around the Mediterranean
practiced the art of angling. Plutarch
tells of a prank played by the fan
Egyptian, Cleopatra, while cut fishing
with Antony, They wagered on their
angling and her divers did hang a
salt fish on his hook, which he with
fervor drew up"
The ruined walls Of Herculaneum
and Pompeii abound in frescoes Of
fishermen. All along the track Of his
tory are found traces Of this gentle
recreation, showing the gradual i'm
proyement from the hook Of bone and
rude equipment of the cave man to the
elegant accessories and belongings OF
the modern angler.
