DICE LONG KNOWN TO WORLD
Amusement 10 Probably the Most An
eient Game, According to Records
Of Old Writer'S.

The Oldest amusement in the world
Is dice-throwing.
In some form or another, dice have
existed In every period Of history.
They are shown on early Egyptian
monuments, and some dug up mt
Thebes recently are exactly similar to
those In use today. They are men
toned In laws regulating games
played In ancient Greece and Rome
and most other countries in Europe.
The invention of dice is attributed
to Palamedes, one of the heroes who
sailed against Troy. about the year
1914 B. c.. but the use of cubes with
numbered sides for gambling purposes
is probably much earlier.
Frequent passages In the works of
ancient writer's and numerous repre-
sentations In marble and paintings
show how popular dice-playing was
among them.
