and masses Of black hair. The face ap-

Antiquity of Gold Leaf.

From the Magazine cf Commerce.
The origin OF gold leaf, Ike the first
use Of gold itself. is lost In the mists of
antiquity. II is found, for example. in
connection with the most ancient known
mummles. having beeon used for covering
teeth. tongue. skin, &C. Sometimes it is
also found on the collins. Gold leaf was
also used on the tombs and monuments
OF ancient Egypt. The process of max
ing gold leaf has thus been known since
the eighth century p. c. Ia the eleventh
century it seems 10 have attained as high
a degree OF perfection as to-day. The
gold leaf on some ancient Grecian pot
terry indeed is as thin as that now used.
