AN ANCIENT
DISCOvERER

II Is not known just when gold was
hrst used by man AS ornament and
coin. but AGO years ago the people OF
the far east and Ia the countries OF
northern Africa made most exquisite
Jewelry out of gold and precious
stones. In fact, the art of their hand
wrought ornaments has never been ex-
celled. and modern man has learned
from them In technic,l skill Gold az
used In the early times was probably
found In the form OF nuggets, as the
ancients would hardly have noticed il
IN any other form. They hammered II
by hand and gave 1t most beautiful
polish
Silver was not discovered for :. long
time after gold was In use In many
countries. and when at last some one
did discover 1t he thought ii form OF
gold, and 1t became known as white
gold" The discovery OF copper soon
followed that of silver. and then IN
succession came tin, zinc and lead. An
ingenious savage who lived in upper
Egypt succeeded In making brass by
fusing copper and zinc. and later he
manufactured bronze by a mixture OF
copper and tin. This occurred about
400 Is. c., and the inventors name
was Anubis.
And Anubis made the first metallic
ak, knife and chisel. and also he gave
us the original saw, taking for his
model, so we are told. the chin bone
of a snake" Like the teeth Of n snake,
the first saws teeth inclined backward.
Anubis also invented the first mu.
steal instrument OF which we have
knowledge. He used for sounding
board the empty shell OF tortoise
across which were strung four tor
toise sinews as strings. Afterward
this instrument was enlarged and a
goats horns used for posts 1t still
had four strings and bridge and
brace. This crude musical instrument
became known as the Tyre. and from
It developed all known stringed in.
struments. OF this instrument his.
torian says:
"Horus afterward enlarged and i'm
proved the Tyre by increasing the num-
Der OF strings To seven. though two Of
them had the same pitch. He also pro-
vided a strap to support the increased
weight Of the instrument. 1t was then
called by the Greeks cithera or kitha-
ra. and In central Africa 1t is yet called
a kissar. The Greek Terpander added
an eighth string. called octachord, from
which comes our word octave.
''Anubis seems to have composed
song and sung 1t TO the accompani-
ment of the harp. He was also the
first songster and poet OF whom we
have any knowledge"
Thus it will be seen that metals are
very old I'm the uses to which man has
put them and musical instruments also
OF very ancient date. though for count
less generations there was no written
music and the player composed his
own melodies as he went along, which |
were exceedingly simple.
