no menus n now Iden. A Gormon pro
fessor has written a letter to tho
Frankfort Gazette, In which ho sny.-i
ho has discovered that Vltruvlus, tho
Roman historian, describes a taxi
meter cab in uso in Home nbout tho
ymr 70 A. D. Tho mochnnlsm of
tho taximeter caused a stono to drop
Into n box undor tho cnrrlngo ovory
thousand pneos. At the end of tho
Journoy tho drlvor counted tho stono
which had fallon Into tho box, nnd
In this wny wns nblo to calculato tho
fnro.
Within tho last fifty yonrs an 13ng-
lls,hninn producod n pnrtlculnr kind
of pin, which he callod a "safoty"
pin. For this admlrablo sorvlco to
mankind ho wns highly honorod, nnd
feloi nnd favors wore showorod up
on him.
Just n year or two ago, howovor,
whou soinoono wns poking nbout
among tho ruins of Pompoll, they
enmo upon a largo number of bronze
snfety pins. Thoy woro qulto up-to-dato
pins, too, thoro was a colled
Bprlng at ono ond nnd a catch at the
other Just llko thoso In constant
uso at the prosont day. So that, far
from safoty pins holng a modern In
vention, thoy nro roughly nbout 2000
yenrs old.
Thlmbl8 have boon found In pro
historic mounds, nnd combs nnd hair
pins wore In oxlstonco boforo tho
Chrlstlnn ora. It Is guessed with
somo cortalnty that tho firjst needle
must have been threaded by a thrifty
housowlfo nbout S000 years ago.
Tho combination looks wo uso to
day which can only ho be opened
by a combination of certain
lot tors and figure woro woll
known nud used extensively by
the Chinese many centuries ago.
Tho telephone also, or, at any
reto, an Instrument similar to It. was
uaod by them. Moreover, ono of their
wrltors mentions boxe which re
pented the sounds of people's voices,
oven though tho people were dead,
which lends us to suppose that they
had discovered the phonograph.
In China, too, thoy Illuminated
their houses n coup! of thousand
years ago with natural gas. which
was convoyed to the consumor'j
liouso by moans of bamboo tubes.
But, thon. tho Chinese doclaro that
what wo have dono In the realm of
science was all discovered by them
ccnturlos ago and dlscardod ns use
leas. At present thcro is no positive
proof that In tho offices of the
ancients a charming young lady sat
in a corner clattering away busily on
(a typewriter, but it Is a fact that the
kindred accomplishment, shorthand,
wns well known to them.
