CLAIMS EUROPE FIRST
TO MAKE USE OF IRON
MetaIIurgiSt Discovers Evidence
of Metal in What Is Now
Austria

The iron age is commonly believed to
have begun in Africa or Asia. The
latest Investigations prove that it was
not worked in Egypt until the ninth
century before the Christian era, or in
Libya until 450 B. c., that the Semites
adopted its use still later, and that 1t
has been known in Uganda only within
the last five or six centuries. In China,
says the Chicago Tribune, iron is mem
tionel in 400 b. c. Bronze weapons
were employed in China until 100 A.
D., and in Japan until 700 A. d.
According to a Mr.. Ridgeway, who
has investigated this subject, the met
allurgy Of iron must have originated
in Central Europe, especially in Nori-
cum, which approximately represented
modern Austria and Bavaria. Only at
Hallstett and in Bosnia and Transy!-
yania, from which countries the Achal-
ans and Dorians are supposed to have
migrated to Greece, are found EVIL
dences of a gradual introduction OF
iron, at first as an ornament appleu
to the bronze, which it ultimately dis
placed. Everywhere else iron was in
troduced suddenly, fact when I'M
plies a foreign origin.
Meteoric iron was known in Europe
in remote antiquity, but no Goubt II
was worked as flints were worked, by
cutting or chopping, and was not
smelted. In other words, 1t was the
metallurgy, not the knowledge of iron,
that originated in Central Europe.

FINDS SEAWEED CLOTH
SERV|CEABLE AS COTTON
New Textile Handsome Durable
and Much Cheaper Than
Ordinary Fabrics

NEW YORK, July 10.--Seaweed cloth
is an Australian textile. From Mel
O.urne comes the news of marine
plant with the learned term Posidenia
Australia. Spencer gulf contains mil
lions of tons of material of which the
fibres of Posidenia constitute great
part. The properties of these fbers en-
ale them to be used in numerous
ways. They may be spun and woven
by mixing them with wool.
Experiments made in the large Aus
tralian wooden factories have demon
strated, says the Chicago Tribune, that
tLGy take dye almost as well as VOL
itself, which is not the case with any
other textile of vegetable origin, and
which makes it's utilization possible in
the manufacture of large carpets or
rugs. The fibers of Posidenia do not
take fire until in the neighborhood of
375 deg. Fahrenheit. They are as good
as hemp for calking vessels and may
be of great value in making bags for
th1 transportation of coffee, wool or
ton
Numerous soundings in Spencer gulf
hive proved that the deposit is eX
tensive, for it has been accommodating
for centuries. 1t is found sometimes a
few inches under the surface, and
sometimes at a slightly greater depth.
1t reaches a thickness varying from
four to twelve feet. The fibers have
been entangled by the action of wind
and waves in a mass of fine sand,
shells, clay and calcareous matter.
They are intimately mingled with all
these substances, holding them togeth
er like a web The lower strata are of
better quality than the upper, for the
latter contain decaying roots of the
more recent vegetation. But below two
feet the fiber is of much clearer color
even while mixed with layers of earth.
specimens of the best quality for
Industrial use have been gathered m
layers covered with two to ten feet of
water. The mass of sand, shells, clay
and lime mixed with fibers is easily
worked, so that the extraction of the
textile substance does not appreciably
Increase the cost. On an average TWEEN
ty tons of material will furnish one
ton of fibers In condition for manu-
facture.
The crude fiber, after imperfect dry
ing on the beach, is sent to a neighbor-
ing port on barges. There it is dried
mechanically, sorted according to quail
ity and then made up into packages
for shipment If the use of the objects
manufactured with the Posidenia fibers
shows that durability is one of the
valuable qualities of this textile plant
TIL industrial and commercial move.
ment that has started in Spencer gulf
is destined to quick extension A COM
pany Is forming to exploit the fibers
commercially either in the raw state
for a relatively low price or by the
adoption of machinery specially adapt
ed to work it in the best possible con-
dition.

SANITARY SQUAD WATCHES
FOR SMOKY MACHINES
Health Commissioner Sends Out
70 Men to Enforce
New Code

NEW YORK, JUL 10.-Seventy MEM
bers of the sanitary squad were scat
tered through the city by the health
commissioner, DR.. Lederle, today, to
watch for smoking motor cars, this
being the day on which the new sec
ton of the sanitary code, prohibiting
the emission of smoke from automo-
biles, became effective. 1t is expected
that many arrests will be made in the
course of the day, although it is sup
posed that the magistrates will be
lenient with the first detachment of
careless chauffeurs.
The new ordinance urovides that the
chauffeur of a smoking automobile
may be arrested and taken to the near
est police court, where he will be
charged with a misdemeanor and fined
or imprisoned. as provided by the code.
A similar ordinance affecting Central
park has been in force for several
months, much to the discontinue of
careless chauffeurs.
All garage proprietors in New York
were provided early In the week with
a copy of the ordinance, sent out by
the National Highway Protective asso-
citation, the organization that did much
to secure the legislation by the board
OF health; therefore, chauffeurs may
have few valid excuses for smoking
cars.
1t is we'll known that dense smoke, !"
as specified in the code, is absolutely
unnecessary, no matter what type of
automobile happens to be the offender
inferior oil and carelessness on the
part of the hauffeur-usually the
latter.
In the opinion of more than a hun
bred doctors who signed a petition
urging the board of health to take
same action, the clouds of oil smoke
from motor cars and taxicabs are
dangerous to the health of the citf-
zens of New Yodk." Few who have
talked on Fifth avenue would deny
such statement. For there is no
thoroughfare in the city that has suf-
fered more from this cause than the
avenue, with its long lines Of carriages
and automobiles.

To SAVE DOLL
FATAL TO LITTLE GIRL
Margaret 0rmSbN Afraid to lump
to Firemen, Is Suffocated
in Closet

WINSTED, Conn, July 1O.-Margaret
Ormsby, years old, only daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Orion Ormsby of Torring-
ton, died from suffocation today in a
fire which damaged the two-story
frame dwelling in which she and her
parents lived.
Frightened by the flames, the little
girl crawled into a clothes closet and.
shutting the door, stayed there till she
was found by the firemen, who had
extinguished the fire and gone in
search of her. She was unconscious
and died half an hour afterward.
The parents were away from home
when fire, which started in an over
heated flue, attacked the second floor
of the house, where the child was, and
made it impossible for her to escape
by the stairway. Firemen who gath
cred in the front yard saw her standing
at a window on the second floor. They
extended their arms and begged her
to jump.
Wen catch you," they told her
I'm afraid" she called back and dis
appeared from the window.
There was so much smoke in the
room in which the firemen saw her
last that they feared she had persisted
there. After the fire was under con-
troll they entered the house and found
her curled up in the closet, hugging her
rag doll, which she had tried to save
from the flames.

OUTLOOK FOR BIC COLD
IMPORTATION IS BRIGHT
Treasury Officials Believe Move
ment from Europe Will
Be $40,0o0,o00

WASHINGTON July 1O.-Belief is
expressed by the treasury officials
that the import movement OF gold
from Europe will approximate $4,000
900 by Christmas.
During the last fiscal year the United
States was drained of coin and bull
lion to the extent of more than $780,
100000. 1t was not thought by, the
government experts that the home
ward flow of gold would begin so
early, but that 1t would follow ordin-
airy trade conditions later in the
season.
It has been the observation of the
treasury experts that foreign banks
gradually have been aiming TO
strengthen their gold reserves, which
probably accounts for the inquiries for
the precious metal at London.
A good deal of the expectation OF
gold was due to. natural trade opera
tons. Then large amount was
shipped to Argentine republic. That
country negotiated d big loan in Lon
don some time ago and much of the
gold coin was Withdrawn from New
York because the foreign houses
making the loan could secure better
terms there. Last fiscal year there
was a net loss by the United States
in gold coin of 42,61269
