kets rotted, the vases fell over, the
thread decayed. the beads rolled apart.

Medicine, Marylebone. IL q ray cast
upon the Queen OF Sheba's teeth,
which have been loaned by the Royal
College of Surgeons. These teeth
have hitherto seemed to be naught
but a solid black mass OF bone and
gold. They are now known to be
something else, according to the ex-
hibits made in the department OF pre-
historic dentistry.
Relics contained there prove that
gold was freely used to improve awk-
ward teeth, but there 10 no trace OF q
stopping for decayed spot. The pro-
cedure seems to have been to lash the
teeth together with silk-like gold
wire and to wind 1t around and around
all the teeth until their binding was
so strong that none OF them could fall
out without the consent OF the others.
This accounts for the fact that the
Queen of Sheba's teeth appear like
one solid mass.
