A recent paper presented to the
Royal institution at London, in dis
cussing the question Of the metals
used by the great nations Of an
tiquity, pointed out that gold was
probably the first metal known to
man because it is generally found
native. The oldest metallic objects
to which we can assign a probable
date are thought to be those found
in a royal tomb at Nagada, in
Egypt, supposed to have been that
Of King Menes. In one Of the cham
bers we're some bits Of gold, bead,
a button and a fine wire Of nearly
pure copper. If the tomb has been
properly identified these objects are
at least $500 years old. Nearly all
the ancient gold that has been Ell
amined contains silver enough to
give it light color. It was gath
cred by the ancients in the bed Of
the Pactolus and other streams Of
Asia Minor.

PRISON Term FOR
BOY AROUSES
COMMENT
KITCHEN CASE SHOWS NEED OF,
AND STRONG ARGUMENT FOR,
JUVENILE REFoRMAToRY.
Special to The Net0S.

Special to The NeiOS.
Jackson, Miss, Dec. 19-The case
of Cecil Kitchen, boy in knee trous-
!ers, sentenced in the Kinds county cir
cult court last week to serve a two
year term for burglary, has aroused a
great deal of comment in the state
press, and again brings to the front
the urgent need of juvenile reforma-
tory in this state.
The Kitchen case is but one of sew
eral instances during the past year
when boys yet in their early teens
have been given penitentiary SEN
fences on felony charges, and sent to
the various state farms to associate
with hardened criminals.
Fort the past six years an energetic,
but fruitless, campaign has been waged
before legislative sessions in this
state for the establishment of juve-
nile reformatory, and it seems to be
impossible to awaken the lawmakers
to a realization of existing conditions.
At the next biennial session, however,
the leaders of the Juvenile Reforma-
tory Association believe that they will
be able to present such convincing
array of facts and figures that the
need for this institution can be no long
er ignored.
