Many details of the building Of
the Pyramids Of Egypt are still
shrouded in mystery; perhaps will
ever be. Yet it is known that the
workmen who built these colossal
piles of stone, that have endured
for more than 5000 years, worked
with tools which we think of as
modern implements. They used
both straight and circular saws.
Their cutting and fitting of the stones
have been the marvel of architects
for centuries. They also used solid
and tubular drills, and knew and
used the principles involved in the
modern lathe. Both their drills and
the cutting edges of their lathes
were set with hard jewels of some
kind, just as we point drills with
diamonds. They had also discovered
how to make their drills extremely
hard, for the cutting marks show
that while their drills could make
a cut of tenth of an inch at one
revolution in solid granite there is
no indication of wear on the drill.

Mortgage Plan Was Born
in Seventeenth Century

The mortgage is evolved from the
Seventeenth century when writ
ten document first became OBJ
ligatory in property transaction.
Before that time all lands were
believed rightfully to belong to the
king, who gave them to the lords
with certain incidental obligations.
These lords, in turn, parceled out
the land to the tenants for other OBJ
legations. When lord transferred
property to another nobleman, much
pomp and ceremony was connected
with the transaction, but there was
no written document.
Existing laws require no set pat
tern in mortgage, but certain pro-
visions are demanded, notes h e
Philadelphia Enquirer. The docu-
ment must describe the parties with
reasonable accuracy, and such par
ties must be qualified to make the
contract. The premises must be de-
scribed with equal accuracy, a n d
the nature and limits of the estate
conveyed must be made clear. The
debt must also be cited.

ADAPTED SEED NEEDED FOR
1888 PROGRAM

The seed crop harvested this year
must be depended upon to greater
extent than would ordinarily be the
case in providing grass and legume
seed needed for the 1888 program,
says Mr.. Miller, county agent, be-
cause of the small carry-over and the
fact that the agricultural conserva-
ton program has greatly increased
demand for seed of legumeE grasses
and green-manuring crops.
Surveys made Of the seed situation
show that demand for seed of soil
conserving crops in 1897 and the
1886 drought reduced the CONNER
cial reserves of seeds of domestic
clover, alfalfa, sweet clover, leped-
eza, soybeans, cowpeas, and of grass
seed in general to much lower levels
than normally prevail.
In general, seed that has been
grown locally for period of years is
likely to be we'll adapted and, II
properly harvested, stored and clean
ed, may be expected to give excellent
results, according to Mr.. Miller.
