about as much effort to do this as to

INK THE ROMANS USED
For Writing Permanent Records
stylus and wooden Tablets.

FHm the Scientific American.
The ancient Romans commonly wrote
with a metal point (stylus) on wooden
tablets covered with wax Oabulae), but
permanent records were written on
parchment with a reed pen and liquid
pigment or ink.
At Haltem IN Westphalia, near the
site Of the Aluso fortress erected by
Drusus In the year II b. Q, was recently
found a bronze vessel containing dried
black mass. which Prof Kassner has
decided to be Roman Ink. The mass was
found TO consist chiefly Of SCOT and tan
nate Of iron. u also contained smaller
quantities OF ferric oxide, copper oxide,
clay. magnesla. gypsum, phosphoric acid,
carbonic acid. alkaIies and sand. These
ingredients probably represent chiefly &C
cidental impurities which have found
their way into the old inkstand. but some
OF them may be due TO the chemical &C
tiop Of the ink on the bronze vessel
The presence Of an aromatic substance
! suggests that the Ink was imported from
Italy where the use OF perfumed inF
was common.

AT THE HOTELS.

strictly speaking, France is not a
Christian country" said A. L. jacobson.
a civil engineer Of Paris, at the New
Willard last night There is no Official
religion In France. and the fact is that
the majority Of the members Of the
French Parliament. the representatives
Of the people Of France. are nonbelievers.
Taking this as a basis for argument
then It becomes evident that France Is
not a Christian country.
There are many Of the best old faIni-
lies, however, who are strict Catholics
and do not recognize the existing state
Of affairs. The bishop or the priest has
no say IN the affairs Of the government,
and Is not on rs pay roll. The separation
Of state and church IS an accomplished
fact. and is, apparently. working salts
factorily.
France is not properly understood by
the world. The French people are re-
garded as frivolous and Iight-headed, and
Americans visiting Paris imagine they
do not see Paris unless they visit its
resorts, from which they form their opin-
ion OF France The trouble is that Ameri-
cans visiting Paris never reach the true
French family life. They are prejudiced
when they arrive in France and think
they must I've up 10 that idea. Most Of
the Americans never meet the repre-
sentative French families, and. therefore.
do not know what the French people are
like"
