Sacred Ranules.

One of the oldest and most curious
of existing industries is the making of
narrow rings or bracelets, called ban
giles, from the chank, or sacred shell OF
the Hindus. This conch-Turkinella
pyrum, Linn.-is found chiefly at a
depth of about two fathoms in the gulf
of Manaar, and about 100000 of the
shells are exported annually to Cal
cutta. So important is the bangle of
the Hindu women that ]. Horntll,
representing the Madras government,
has specially investigated the industry.
Tracing the early history of chank or
naments, Mr.. Hornell is unable to as
sign prehistoric specimens in the Ma
dras museum to the later stone age, as
had been previously done, but believes
marks on some of them were made by
metal implements. He has found, how
ever, remains of ancient bangle fac
tories scattered over the greater part
of India. Bangle cutting is now con-
fined almost entirely to Bengal, and it
proves to be in f1ourishing condition in
spite of the growing taste for gold or
naments.

Argus.
