TEMPERED COPPER.
Metal Experts Say It Never Was Made
and Never VIII Be.

Science and even the ordinary prog
reSs In the arts and crafts are each
icOnoclasts in their way-that is, they
tear down and destroy ideals long pos.
sessed and generally cherished by man.
Just now it is that delightful old claim
that the ancients knew how to temper
copper to the hardness of steel.
For years this has been general be-
lief, and many story and not Il few
serious articles have been written de.
sCribing how the men of the period just
following the stone age used to mine
copper and by a secret process temper
It and make wonderful knives and 9TH
er weapons and tools from it. 1t was
called lost art"
But now not only scientists, but skill.
ed craftsmen in metals come forward
and declare the ancients never temper
ed copper, and their reason for making
this declaration is that copper does not
possess the properties that will enable
1t to be hardened by any process what
ever.
1T is safe to declare" states one ex-
pert, writing for mining publication.
that copper has never been tempered
at any time by any one, as it does not
possess the necessary properties. Cop
per can be hardened in Il number OF
ways, the easiest being to plunge the
finished article into molten antimony
or arsenic. The resulting alloy formed
on the surface is exceedingly hard and
brittle. Recent research in Mexico has
shown that the tools there supposed to
be made Of hard copper We're made by
smelling mixed ores of copper, nickel
and cobalt. The resulting alloy was
naturally hard. None of these old tools
are Of quality equal to those which

Cecil Rhodes Eggs.

Cecil Rhodes used to take a coop of
hens on board to provide fresh eggs on
his numerous voyages between Eng
land and South Africa. But those were
three weeks journeys. and not a mere
five day crossing of the Atlantic.
Hence another prominent South Afri-
can parsonage was asked why he did
not follow Rhodes example and pro-
vide himself with the luxury of new
laid eggs at sea. "Oh, don't bother
to take coop Of fowls on board" he
replied, "but tip the bos'un who looks
after Rhodes hens. and get Rhodes
eggs"
