First Use of Iron.

As a result of his interesting invcsti-
cations, DR.. Ridgeway concludes that
the smelling of iron originated in
central Europe, and especially in the
region known as Noricum, equivalent
to modern Austria and Bavaria.
In Egypt it can be traced back to the
ninth century +. c., and in Libya to
about $50 Il. c. First mention of its
use in China goes back to 400 B. c.,
while in Uganda it is said to have
been III use only some five or six
centuries.
The above date for the first use of
iron in Egypt refers TO the metal OBJ
tanned by smelling. The use of ma
tive iron in the form of meteoriteS
dates back to remote antiquity. The
weapons made from these were OBJ
tanned, like flint implements, by chip
ping. And it is interesting to remcm-
Der that recent investigations have
shown that the iron Of many meteor
ties is n sort OF natural steel.

When Man Was a fsarine Animal.

1t was NJ. Quintan. Il French physl-
ologist, who several years ago wrote
q paper TO show that the colorless
auid in which the red cOrpuscles of our
blood float and which is called the
blood serum" is the same fluid as that
which constituted the priineval sea.
The earliest forms of life which float
ed in the primeval sea- were such that
the cells and tissues Of which they
were constituted were always bathed
by this primeval fluid. When silica
became n constituent of the sen these
animals may have coHted themselves
with silicious coverings. but many OF
their cells were still buthcd hY the
fluid. and some OF them as they passed
from the sea to the land may have
closed up their alimcntary canals. so
that Il distinction arose between their
internal organs and their outer super
ficies, but still. for the good Of their
cells, they still bathed them in the
saline fluid. To do so more effectively
they took the saline fluid ashore with
them in the form of IL blood serum. ana
it is this blood serum which we carry
about with US today, the most evident
relic of the age when we were marine
animals.

That Lame Back Means
Kidney Disease
And to Relieve the Lame and Aching Back,
You Must First Relieve the Kidneys

There is no question about that
at all-for the lame and aching
back is caused by a diseased con-
dition of the kidneys and bladder.
1t is only common sense, any way
that you must cure a condition
by removing the cause of the con-
dition. And lame and aching back
are not by any means the only
symptoms Of arrangement of the
kidneys and bladder There are a
multitude Of well-known and un-
mistakable indications of more or
less dangerous condition. Some of
these are, for instance: Extreme
and unnatural 1assitude and weari-
ness, nervous irritability, heart ir-
regularity, nerves on edge," sleep
lessness and inability to secure
rest, scalding sensation and sedi-
ment in the urine, Inflammation of
the bladder and passages, etc.
