The papyrus used 10y the ancient
Egyptians was made from the stems
Of a peculiar water reed growing in all
parts of Egypt The outside layer Of
the plant was removed, and beneath
this there were found a number of lay
ers OF delicate, plthy membrane.
These, being separated, We're placed in
layers. \ second layer was laid at
right angles 10 and above the first and
sometimes third over the second
Heavy pressure was then applied, and
the layers We're firmly cemeutcd into a
fair article of paper. No gum other
than what was contained in the plant
itself was used In the process. The
papyrus was very much stronger than
the average paper made 10y the mod
ern machines. The sheets were com
monty made from six TO twelve inches
square.

The Nile, having overHowed It's banks
and inundated nearly all of Egypt, on
its return to its banks left on its
shores various dead animals and
among the rest a tortoise, the flesh
having dried and wasted in the sun
until nothing remained in the she'll but
cartilages These, being tlghtcned by
the drying heat, became sonorous.
Mercury, walking along the banks Of
the river, happened to strike his foot
against this shell, was so pleased with
the sound produced that the idea of
the Tyre suggested itself and no con

Delight OF Children Originated in

Marbles got their name from the
TACT that originally little bits of mar.

play with.
1t Is said that the Dutchman ex.
ported them to England. from where
we got them. Whether they did or not
makes little difference to the boys and
girls of to-day. No matter who intro.
duced the world to marbles as toys.
they are with us. and always will be.
Some of you win them from other
children-some OF you trade postage
stamps for them: but some person or.
iginaliy bought them from the lit :,
stor- around the corner. whose owner
got them from that greatest toy shop
In the world-Germany
In the beginning marbles were call.
ed bowls. and men and women played
with them, as well as children. Hun.
