The forest dwelling peoples of the fur-
ther east have an ocld instrument for
making Ore,' Very seldom, so far as we
xlbserved, (lo they employ the proverbial
„ded nt(!tltod of "rubbing;, two sticks --which,

of this, siri box sharply,, and it takes fire.
BA this inethod can only be used by
tribes which have puck communication
with the foreigner as supplies them with
European goods. The inland peoples use
iferstere singular process. They carrya
efeert "cylinder of lead, hollowed roughly

quickly, and the tinder is alight. Ob-
servers who take a narrow view have de -
clued that theearliest art practiced by
human beings after they escape front
' mere barbarism is pottery. These races
'have long passed that stage, but we do
'swot recall any evidence that they use the
art. The fact is that,'in countries which
,produce the bamboo, earthenware is
liardly needed except for luxury. They

RESURRECTING QI,D WRECKS,
Specuiatore Raider Bulks of Ships Sunk
oh the Fatal Coast or Jutland..
There is perhaps no coast known to
navigators pf the present day more dan-
gerous than that of Jutland. Aiore ships'
have beezi lost on that little treacherous
stretch than on any other in the world,
not excepting foggy Sable Island.
The whole ooast*is strewn with wreaks.
The bottom oe the'"<se* off the cbast Is
covered with .the decaying carcasses of
hardy vessels, blown to their destruction
by hostile gales.
The Danes are a thrifty set of people,
and, on theprinciple that it is indeed an
M wind that blows no one any good,
have gone to work to reclaim the major-
ity of these old craft. Many speculators
are in the scheme, and are now engaged
in raising the eld' wrecks and recovering
their cargoes and machinery. The first
thing was to purchase the old wrecks
and the, privilege of raising and selling
them. The owners were found without
groat difficulty, and were only too glad
to get anything .for the wrecks. Expe-
rienced divers were engaged and the
work began several months ago..
Twenty-one years ago the Russian
frigate Ale sander. Nevsky stranded off
Jutland. She had a cargo of 20,000 pounds
of brass. Several years after she went
If the speculators find it unprofitable to
rebuild the ship they will still be able to
sell her at a good profit.
Two of the other ships purchased for
resurrection are the Britishors Helen and
Westdale.
The Helen was sunk years ago. She
carried a cargo of copper, none of which
has ever been recovered, and all of which .�

` WONDERFUL BEADS.
The Aggry and the Popo beads, which
eerve for jewels in3vest Africa, are glass
3'esembling earthenware of unknown
Manufacture, of immemorial antiquity,
and beyond modern skill to counterfeit.
Most European nations, probably, have
tried their band at imitating the Aggry
bead. The shrewdest chemists and the
;cleverest artificers of Venice and Bir-
mingham have done their best; the pot-
ters of England, France and Germany
e exhausted their resourbes, but in

enterprise, however. The beads are ir. A. V E R T I S E R
