The guide Informs us that It was so named from tbe municipal council which sat here under Spanish rule when It was tbe government house or palace of Justice and that It was "put ! up" In 1795. A tablet explains that here In 1803 the formal transfer cf the Province ? of Louisiana from Spain to France, also from France to the United States, took place; that the Marquis de La | fayette resided her In 1825 as a guest of the city, also that later the main , room on the second floor was used by the Supreme Court of Louisiana. In this same room, It is said, was held the flrst Protestant church service conducted in the state of Louisiana. The courtyard was used as a prison yard for more than a century. The remains of the old pillory may be seen as well as the bullet holes In tbe walls — executions having occurred here as late as 1836. This historic buildlnfe also played a prominent role In more recent days. Here a reception was given to Presi dent McKinley In 1901, and the cen tennial celebration of the Louisiana purchase was held In 1903. Still well preserved, this old build ing now bouses the state museum— a collection of Intensely Interesting rel ics of early days. Including the death mask of the great Napoleon. river.

Archeologists wanted to know where the men of Sumner, oldest of Mesopotamian king doms, got their copper. Inscriptions on bricks fulled to tell them. So they sought help from metallurgical chem ists. These men examined the copper of the old weapons, comparing it with specimens from Persia, the Black Sea region, Cyprus, Egypt und other neigh boring countries to see If they could find the same impurities. At last In copper from mines on the Arablnn peninsula, near the Persian gulf, a similar amount of nickel in the metal wus discovered.
