One of the most remarkable
Bronze age boards recently discov-
cred in Great Britain has been given
to the Welsh National museum. The
hoard was found in Wales. The
feature of it, which consists Of
bronze implements and ornaments,
is the fact that it includes an iron
sickle of exactly the same shape as
two or three bronze sickles found
near it. This is taken to prove that
it dates from the time of transition
from the Bronze to the Iron age.
Iron had evidently been discovered,
but the metal workers of that day
were not fully acquainted with its
properties and therefore modelled
this historic sickle on their bronze
implements.

METALLIC CEMENT.

The recipe for metallic cement Is
as follows: From 30 to 80 parts
Of finely divided copper, obtained by
the reduction of oxide of copper
with hydrogen, or by precipitations
from solutions Of its sulphate with
zinc, are made into paste with oil
Of yitriol, and 20 parts of mercury
added, the whole being well triturat-
ed. When the amalgamation is
complete the acid is removed with
boiling water, and the compound al
lowed to cool. In ten or twelve
hours it becomes sufficiently hard to
receive brilliant polish, and to
scratch the surface of tin or gold.
BY heat it assumes the consistency
of wax, and as it does not contract
by cooling, it is recommended by
noted chemist for dentists use for
stopping teeth. This is splendid
cement for attaching anything to
the surface of wood, glass. metal
and porcelain

LIGHTHOUSES PASSING.

The tendency of shore lines to
show marked changes is the princi-
pal reason for the gradual sup
planting Of lighthouses by floating
beacons which can be readily moved
to suit the conditions. In many in
stances these permanent beacons
once built on the very edge of the
water are now so far inland as to be
almost useless. Light ships are also
better able to weather a severe gale
than the lighthouse. The heaviest
breakers are estimated to strike with
a force equivalent to three and a
half tons to the square foot and con-
sequently these towers are likely to
be undermined sooner or later.

ADOPTS OLD TRIBAL CUSTOM.

The custom of the savage Indians
to bury all their earthly belong ings
with them was recently carried out
in Joplin, when David Lloyd, sixty
five years old, an Indian fighter in
his youth, died and was buried. His
dying request was that the Indian
custom be followed and SO into his
casket went razor, box Of shoe
polish, pair of scissors, bar Of
soap, packet of letters, knife, his
spectacles, knife sharpener, OK
fords, boots, hose, shirts, trousers,

put in a rough box inclosing the cof-
tin.--Joplin News Herald.

Remarkable Instrument, the Hockok
phone, Has Compass of Five
octaves-Praised by Ruskin.

Musical instruments have been
made Of all manner of things since
the time when it was said that the
dried sinews of the tortoise
stretched across the shell gave the
first idea of the Tyre. Perhaps the
most unusual instrument of modern
times is the rockophone which was
used for many years by family OF
performers known as the Till fam
lily now engaged in church work in
New York. William Till, the orig
inator, found the rocks in the Cum
berland mountains Of England. The
rocks are gneiss and hornblende,
and were deposited prior to the in
PRODUCTION of life upon the earth,
possibly hundred million Years
ago. The instrument had compass
Of five octayes, the rocks being from
six inches to four feet long. Will
liam Till is especially proud Of the
fact that John Ruskin thought
enough Of the instrument to write:
81 congratulate you most heartily
on tho wonderful instrument no
less than on the admirable skill OF
execution with which you exhibit it's
peculiar qualities. You have given
me new insight into crystalline
rock substance and also new mu-
steal pleasure
The instruments are not for sale,
but there is small one which Mr..
Till made for the collection of the
Metropolitan museum Of New York.
The rockcphone was played after
the manner of the xylophone and the
selections included wide range
from Handel to Dvorak and Sousa.

Matters Serves
Only a Days Of
5-Year Sentence
Former Legal Advisor Of Sut.
ton Bank Released From
Federal Prison on Presi.
dents Pardon.

Forty -four days was all Thomas
H. Matters, Omaha attorney, served
of five-year sentence in the federal
prison at Leavenworth.
He was released Saturday after
noon on a pardon from President
Harding.
Matters received his pardon ahead
of NJ. L. Luebben, whose application
for release received the endorsement
Of Judge Woodrough who sentenced
him.
Luebben was president of the First
National bank of Sutton, Neb., and
Matters was legal adviser. 1t was
because Of the failure of this bank
in 1915 that Matters and Luebben
both received five-year sentences.
For six years Matters fought in
the courts against conviction. When
the courts ruled against him he
sought pardons from former Presi-
dent Wilson and then President
Harding. Bot hattempts failed and
on May 26 he surrendered himself
at Leavenworth, presumably to es-
cape the humiliation of being taken
to prison by officers from Omaha.
Prison authorities report Matters
was a model prisoner during his
brief stay. 1t is said he had nothing
to do with Luebben while the. two
were prison mates.

Suicide Attempt
Man Determined to Cheat
Law" Prevented From
! Slashing Throat.

Grand Island, Neb., July TO-
Especial Telegram. .)-Harold Muir
ply, alias Jones, alias Johnson, held
in the county Jail to await trial on the
charge of forgery, seems determined
to cheat the law.
Murphy was caught in the act of
cashing a check by Assistant Cashier
Shehein of the Peoples State bank.
He attempted to escape, but was fol-
lowed by the cashier, the latter firing
several shots.
Later he was arrested by police.
He tried to escape from the latter
and was brought to halt by FIVE
shots. A week ago he was caught
picking hole through the walls of
the jail. His latest stunt was an eff
fort to commit suicide by slasIing
mis- neck. with razor.
A younger man named Rice, held
on the charge of horse stealing, di-
vined Murphy's intention just in time
to prevent second slash. The first
one, though almost across the entire
throat, did not go deep enough to
sever the jugular vein, and Murphy is
on the way to recovery. He declares
that he does, not want to disgrace his
wife and child. The latter, he says,
are in Missouri, but there is reason
to believe they may be in Lincoln.
