scared by shots will come up close to
your boat or the Ice foe on which you
are sitting, squirting, snorting and roll

and bristled snout he has an uncanny,
goblin, monster-like appearance. A

FsFF GOLD LEAF. II
Made Now Practically as 1t Mas Made
Nine Centuries Ago.

Made Now Practically as 1t Was Made
Nine Centuries Ago.
In an article on gold leaf in the Mag
azine Of Commerce John Mastin says
that just as the date of the discovery
of gold is too remote even to be guess
ed at so is the origin of gold leaf lost
in antiquity.
On some of the most ancient num-
mics discovered gold leaf has been used
on the skin, tongue, teeth, ETC., and
In some instances on the collins also.
1t also appears on tombs, monuments
and the like, and, strange to say,
though gliding with thin sheets of
hammered gold" and skins Of gold
otherwise gold leaf-was known to be
practiced at least In the eighth CEN
fury B. G., the process of bringing the
gold into these fine sheets or skins"
was, at any rate In the eleventh CEN
fury A. D., substantially the same rs
that used today, no advance whatever
having been made In the intervening
nine centuries.
Further, on some of the Grecian pot
terry of the fifth century the gold leaf
used Is as thin as that used today, SO
that In results obtained also we have
not advanced in the least, but still keep
practically to the same average thick
ness as that used on the Egyptian cof-
fins of the third century A. D. and
most of the Greek vases of the fifth.
