SATISFIED WITH SUN DIALS | Men ql a. Few Generations Ago Did Not Demand. Exactitude in the Matter of Time. John C.

He had nnearthed a beautiful har- ! poon of bone. He had a toothbrush with him, and the bone handle of this he chopped off and ground down on a plece of sandstone to make a harpoon of ‘his own; but he could not grind such clean-cut barbs as those of the ' ! relie. i The hoy then took his flint-scales ' and chips and’set to work with them. ' The fiint cut the bones away, but u-m the work rough.. Then accldentally | he made a discovery, for no sooner | had he begun to rub the bone trans- | versely on the flint thnn the bone cut the flint away.
