Early Use of Iron

IT has been popular belief that iron was little
known 70 the ancients. but Lepsius believes
that the Egyptians used II for hand instru-
meuts, and that Il was prepared IN smelling
furnaces 5000 b. {.
An iron band was found in an inner part
Of the Pyramid Of Cheops, where the ancient
architect had placed II not later than $500
B. c.
In the toinbs Of Thebes and Memphis tools
and other articles 81 iron have been found,
come 81 which are among the treasures Of the
New York Historical Society.
Iron was so valued that II was seized as
thunder bv victorious soldiers. An iron sickle
was found beneath one Of the sphlnxes at
Karnak. and iron was used for the door
frames Of the temple Of Ptah. a piece OF pure
iron was found beneath the obehsk that now
stands in Central Park. New York, when It
was taken from its original position on the
banks OF the Nile.
The relics found show that the art Of tenn
rering was known At an early date. The
Egvptians worked mines IN the desert region
of the south between the Nile and the ked
Sea. and also near Mount Sinai IN Palestine
Tbr rl,ins Of extensive iron works were found
IN 1874 near the Wells Of Moses.

there are few Establishments to be found
where II Is still done. Among these $ one on
the Bowery IN New FORK, where the operator

Iattooed marks have played an important
part N the conviction and acquittal OF Grim
mails. The absence on the claimant OF these
marks known TO have been on the body OF
Roger IlChborne was an important point in
the famous IIchborne trial, and there are
many incidents on record where tattooed marks
have sent men T. the gallows or STAYED the
hand OF the eXccutioner
In some countries tattooing had a religious
significance, but IN olden times Il was praC-
tlsed merely as q method OF adornment The

The idea Of coming money was first CON

guaranty OF their State for the correct weight

rapidly among al the Greek Provinces and
into italy.
The Oldest gold coins are the yellow -hekels
OF Babylonia. These were stamped only with
the arms OF the country which thus made
itself responsible Tor their proper weight
Nearly all Of the more modern CONS derived
their weight from the scale Of value established
by the old shekels Of Babvlouia-
