NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN.


Many "InventiOns" Improvements
ON Things Existing Long Ago.
There is no new thing under the
sun. Many of our boasted new "in-
ventions" are simply second editions
of things which were invented thou
sand years ago, Pearson's Weekly
says.
The taxicab Is by no means a new
idea. A German pr 'essor has writ.
ten letter to the Frankfort Gazette,
in which he says he has discovered
that Vitruvius, the Roman historian,
describes a taximeter cab in use in
Rome the year 79 A. D.
The mechanism of the taximeter
caused stone to drop into a box
under the carriage every thousand
PAGES. At the end of the journey the
driver counted the stones which had
fallen into the box, and in this way
was able to calculate the fare.
Within the last fifty years an En-
glishman produced particular kind
of pin, which he calle2 a safety"
pin. For this admirable service to
mankind he was highly honored and
fetes and favors have showered upon
him.
However, when some one was polk
ing about among the ruins of Pompeii
they came upon large number Of
bronze safety pins They were quite
up-to-date pins, too. There was a
coiled spring at one end and catch
at the other-just like those in con-
stant use at the present day.
Thimbles have been found in pre-
historic mounds and combs and hair.
pins were in existence before the
Christian era. 1t is guessed with
some certainty that the first needle
must have beec threaded by thrifty
housewife about 5000 years ago.
The combination locks we use to-
day, which can only be opened by a
combination of certain numbers and
letters, were we'll known and used ex.
tensively by the Chinese many centu.
ries ago.
In China, too, they illuminated their
houses couple of thousand years ago
with natural gas, which was conveyed
to the consumers house by means of
bamboo tubes.
1t Is calculated that some short
hand systems go back to somewhere
about 500 B. G. At any rate, there
seems no doubt that the orations Of
Cicero were written with as much

ographer could boast.
The ancients knew about electricity
and, though we usually credit Watts
with the discovery of steam as a mo-
tive power, Nero of Alexandria de-
scribed machines driven by steam
1000 years before Watts was born.
This same gentleman invented a
double-force pump, such as is used
nowadays as fire engine, and he an.
