The Arts of Asia.

1t was Asia, through Arabia. which
gave Europe the literature. the arts
and the sciences which we have de
velCped and OF which we now boast.
Cunpowder was probably invented in
China. 1t was certainly introduced
into Europe from Arabia. The finely
tempered steel Of Damascus went over
from Arabia at the time Of the Moor
ish invasion OF Spain. and It's manu-,
faclure was continued OF Toledo. The
coppersmiihs Of Bagdad supplied The
worlds market with their wonderful
productions centuries before there
were any industries in Europe WcaS.
ing Of silk and cotton had its birth rs
an industry in Arabia, and the wea"
ing Of wool was learned by the cru.
saders in the same wonderful country.
Astronomy. mathematics, the mariners
compass-ali came to ms from the
Arahs.-Argonaut.
