MODERN" ARTICLES VERY OLD
Devices Protected by Patent Found
10 BE as Ancient as Roman
History.

Every now and then Il Is discovered that
some extremely modern" invention is In
reality exceedingly old. For example, the
safety pin, far from being a novelty or
even of recent Origin, is decidedly ancient
fact made certain by the finding Of
great many such pins, fashioned exactly
like those OF today, In old Roman and
Etruscan tombs dating back to a period
good deal earlier than the birth OF Christ.
The safety uin in truth was an article Of
common use in Italy long before the Roman
empire attained the height of its glory.
Some OF them were exactly like those of
today, utilizing the familiar principle OF
coiled spring and catch, but the material
OF which they were made seems always
TO have been bronze They took on a de-
velopment, however, far more remarkable
than our modern safety pins, many OF them
being quite large affairs ten inches or so
In length and hollow, as II designed to be
attached to the gown in front and possibly
to contain something or extraordinarily
flowers. Not infrequently they were orna-
mented with gems.
Another ancient invention vas the collar
stud. 1t Is true that the ancient Romans
did not use buttons 10 fasten their gar
ments, but for this very reason safety pins
were more urgently required; Rnd the latter
seem TO have been supplemented by studs
Of bronze. which were in shape exactly
like those Of today. OF course, people IN
those times wore no collars; but the little
Continuance in question was utilized In
other ways. Probably-and indeed the
assumption is not a rash one-it had in that
early epoch the same habit as now Of
rolling under piece of furniture on slight
provocation for the purpose Of eluding OBJ
servation and pursuit. with the usual per-
versity OF inanimate objects.
OF all modern inventions none seems to
belong more typically to the present day
than the so-called McGDl paper fastener
the small brass eontrivance used to fasten
a number OF sheets OF paper together. Yet,
though It has been patented, It was well
known more than 1000 years ago. being

lings. They are OF bronze and in shape are
exactly like the most improved modern fsh
hooks. They have the same curves and
the same barbs. with a similar expansion
at the top of the shank for the attachment
OF the line. Barring the metal of which
they are composed, they might have been
made yesterday. Other curios from the old
Etruscan tombs are strainers, ladies, spoons
and knives Of bronze. Such articles, as well
as bonze daggers and other weapons
and utensils, were cast most commonly In
moulds that we're carved out OF hard stone,
a pair of stones being required to produce
the object, which was afterward polished
and otherwise elaborated. Among the most

What Of the stricken city7 We found
only desolation and death there. Where
once had stood that pretty metropolis. a
fiat, sandy plain stretched out before u.s.
Except on the outskirts, higher on the
mountain, not a residence remained Built
10 weather seismic disturbances, the houses
were low, few boasting a second story
with light roofs and thick walls of adobe
brick. The shock first leveled them, and
then the waves dissolved and washed them
away. On the higher slopes a few houses,
part Of a church and a hideous mass OF
debris, including many corpses. were piled
twenty or thirty feet high. This was all
that remained on earth of the once -four
ishing community of 1000 inhabitants.
AS for the Wateree. a careful survey re-
vealed It TO be practically intact, though It
was impossible to launch It. So, after re-
moving the most valuable part Of its
equipment It was disposed of TO a hotel
company. Subsequently yellow fever cpl
demic crippled that enterprise. and the
veteran vessel was used successfully as a
hospital. a storehouse. and finally as a
target for the Chilean and Peruvian gun
ners. But it's gaunt iron ribs still rise
above the shifting sands unless the recent
quake. brought in it's wake another wave
OF ruin to erase It from the earth.

Cothran Nor

New Orleans, January 21.-There was
little of interest in connection with to-
days market to report, the days ses-
sion being practically featureless, but for
the suspending of business for an hour
at New York, where the proposition to
eliminate three of the lowest grades in
the delivery of cotton on contract in
that market and to revise quotations
three times a year. instead of twice n
year, which is the present rule, and
thereby make the contract more accept
able to the trade in general and more
especially to the spinner.
The result of today's meeting in New
York, which Is said to have been the
most important ever held by that ex-
change was the setting aside of next
Wednesday as the day on which the pro-
posed amendments will be voted upon.
and If carried 1t will probably have
favorable effect on sentiment perhaps
upon the market, but the new law would
not go into effect until next year. The
market being SO narrow and devoid of
outside speculation. the probability of

tfty of cotton ginned to January 16, be-
ing bullish. less than 12.050000, had but
little effect upon values except to stir
the market up bit.
Because of the report probably show
ing not more than 12,100000. traders are
apt to place bullish construction on
same. but we wish to reiterate out re-
marks of some weeks ago that the gin

total of 12,0l6000 to January 16, the
indicated ginnings for the season on this
basis would be 1879 900 bales. exclusive of

COTTON IS QUIET
WITH EASY TONE
Big Receipts Cause Decline of
9 to 10 Points
SOUTHERN SPOTS SAME
The Opening Is Lower In Response to
Lower Cables and Smaller Eng
lish Demand-Proposed
Change of Bylaws.

New York, January 21.-The cotton MAR
ket was very quiet during todays ses-
sion with the general tone little easier
as a result of large receipts at points
in the eastern belt. The close was steady
at a net decline of to 9 points. Sales
of the day were estimated at only 10000
bales.
The opening was steady at decline
of to 6 points in response to lower ca
bles than looked for and reports of a
smaller spot demand in the English mar
ket. There was a renewal of the buying
noted toward the end of last week, ut
the decline. and during the first few
minutes prices rallied to about a point
oxer the closing figures of Saturday, but
quickly eased off again, following the
big estimate for tomorrows receipts at
New Orleans and during the middle of
the session were about 9 to 10 points net
lower.
Trading was interrupted at midday for
the discussion of proposed amendments
to the bylaws which resulted in sus-
tanning the changes proposed by the
board of managers, and fixing next
Wednesday as the day for the ballor-
lhs upon the proposition. II carried,
the amendments will take effect during
January, 1908. Trading continued very
quiet in the afternoon and close was
within a couple of points of the low
est.
Southern spot markets were generally
unchanged. Southern news and business
was interrupted to some extent by wire
trouble.
Receipts of cotton at the ports today
