The Paper They Were Written On.

The average author would probably
laugh at the statement that at one
time in the worlds history manu-
scripts, simply as such, irrespective of
the nature of the text, were immense
ly valuable. In ancient times manu-
scripts were important articles from a
commercial point of view. They were
excessively scarce and were preserved
with the utmost care. Even the usu-
rers were glad to lend money on them
when the owners were obliged to offer
them in pawn. 1t is related In an
ancient tome that student of Pavia,
who was reduced by his debaucheries,
raised new fortune by leaving in
pawn a manuscript of body of law,
and a grammarian who was ruined by
a fire rebuilt his house with two small
volumes of Cicero through the ready
aid of the pawnbroker.

TOUGH OLD IRON.
The Famous Pillar In the Temple OF
Kutab Minar at Delhi.


kutab Minar at Delhi.
There seems to be no doubt that the
metal produced previous to the intro
duction of modern methods was supe-
rior in its resistance to corrosion to the
present day product. L have seen vari-
GUS iron articles, especially nails, which
showed far less rust after an exposure
of a hundred years or So than the mod
ern variety does in a few weeks.
One article, an old flintlock pistol,
was especially interesting. 1t was
found by friend in a patch of woods
in Vermont and had evidently laid
there for many years, since piece OF
newspaper with the date 1906 had been
used as wadding in loading it. All the
iron parts were rather rough and pit
ted and covered with rust, but the arm
was in surprisingly good shape consid-
ering the conditions to which it had
been subjected. The spring, hammer
and trigger were still capable of per-
forming their functions, and very little
effort was required to put the old
weapon in decidedly presentable condi-
ton.
Perhaps one Of the most noted of the
iron articles which have come down to
us from antiquity is the famous pillar
in the temple of Kutab A1inar at Delhi,
India. This old shaft, which projects
some thirty feet above the surface OF
the ground, was erected about 900 B. @.
Today it shows little trace Of rust, al
though 1t has had no protective coat
ing other than that which the atmos-
pere itself has formed upon til. G.

The common objects and phenomena

Englishman is naturally but little IA

the meaning of sound Qong Island
sound, but always uses channel in

In the same way the American

hill is an Americanism; 80 is cold snap;
so also are prairie. backwoods, flats
and neck Gin the sense of peninsula)
The Englishman seldom If ever de-
