The invention Of Armor.

The idea Of the invention Of armor
for the protection of the body from
weapons came from the ancients, who,
noticing the natural armor of various
kinds Of animals, particularly the ar
madillo, initiated 1t. In early times
before metal was used in armor max
Ing the warriors used rough hides of
several thicknesses, and the first armor
ever worn was made from slices taken
from the hoofs Of horses and fastened
together with pegs. Fish scales and
the scales Of large snakes were also
gathered and fastened together until
they formed a thick layer and were
used as armor. The armor of the mid
die ages was a continuation of the
ancient kind, made in the form Of
scales of iron or steel. Certain kinds
Of mail used in early times In England
were copied from the shells of crabs
and lobsters.-Minneapolis Journal.

which is near the city, the glad news
was sent from the New Mexico lines
