The Ak.

The az is of SO great antiquity
that its origin is lost, though the
Greek legends attribute it to one
of their mythical heroes. Stone
exes have been found in many coun-
tries. Iron axes have. been discov-
cred in the Egyptian eatacombs,
and axes of bronze have been found
in almost every land in Europe.
Flint axes, for wood cutting, were
in use among the Mexicans and 9th
er Central and South American
tribes at the discovery of America.
The axes of ancient times were bad
ly made, having most of the weight
in front of the handle, being thus
uncertain of aim and ineffective in
cutting power. Battleaxes are rep
resented on the monuments of Mn
eveh and Babylon. The battlea1
of Robert Bruce was SO heavy and
used with such effect that, it is said,
at the battle of Bannockburn he
Glove an Englishnaan in twain with
one blow. The battleax of Charles
Martel, it in said, weighed thirty
hounds.

The Junius Letters.

No fewer than thirty-seyen per-
sons have had the Letters OF Ju-
MUS" assigned to them, but since
the publication of Taylor's "Junius
Identified" in 1916 Sir. Philip Fran
els has generally been regarded as
their author. Sir Philip, who was
at school with Woodfall, the pub
Usher of the letters, was a clerk in
the secretary of states Office and
wrote for the papers under various
names. It is upon the similarity OF
his known writings to the style OF
Junius that his claim is principally
based, though experts have also
identified his writing with the feign-
ed hand in which the letters were
written. The most famous of the
other claimants are Burke, the
statesman; the American General
Lee, who is said to have himself
claimed them; Lord George Sack
vile and Horne Tooke.-London
