The advantages OF a change in the date

TEMPERING COPPER
ONE OF THEL0ST ARTS

TH HE fine temper. OF the old Damascus
sword blades is a lost art, and it In
claimed that never again will
swords be made to cut SO keenly as thoss
made by the ancient armorers in that
old-world city. But none the less mod
ern civilization gets along fairly well.
Swords are of little moment nowadays
except to adorn the persons Of military
officials, and for commercial purposes the
present processes of tempering steel ap-
pear to be amply sufficient.
But one ancient secret which was pos.
sessed by the Egyptians under the an
cient Pharaohs and by the natives Of
Peru under the Aztec monarchs. whose
line ended with the unfortunate Monte
yuma. was the hardening Of copper and
tempering this metal until they were
able to cut the hardest of stones, such
as the porphyry and hard granite. II is
claimed they even carved. the emerald
with tempered instruments Of copper.
This tempering OF copper. now that the
metal is being turned out profuse!y,
would mean tremendous gain in mod
ern civilization. Humbo DIT. that curious
and brainy scientist. once attempted to
anaiyxe the chemical constituents Of
chisel made of copper found In Peru
among other relics of the lost race OF
the Incas.
He learned that a small percentage OF
tin was mixed with the copper to temper
the chise, Yet despite the efforts OF
Humboldt and many q later scientist To
find how to produce copper chisels that
will cut granite and porphyry. the secret
OF the vanished Aztecs has never been
There may have been some
other rare metal used In combining the
copper and the tin which Humboldt miss

OF the chisel found In the old silver mine
