they suddenly sd aen den found themselves ves vei in passages whose origin dates from the remotest centuries they further discovered a thorough and nd scientific system of mining the implements being in such a good state of preservation that it could le be determined that it was not a roman but a carthaginian Cart hagenian or phoenician mine the hatchets sieves for ore but particularly a melting furnace anti and two anvils excite the interest of engineers in the highest degree all these articles were carefully collected and will vill enable scientific examinations to bo be prosecuted with greater exactitude than was possible after a merely superficial view particular attention will be paid to the Xe remarkable instruments and objects of art which are said to fill the niches ofa of a rotunda in the centre of the mine this rotunda appears to have been the spot dedicated to the gods presiding over the mines it was occupied by three statues one sitting down and of half life ilfe size

twenty four parts of well weli dried and pulverized nitrate of potash with seven parts of flower of sulphur and six of the red sulphide of arsenic this thia mixture does not cost more than three pence a pound and its light is therefore for tile tiie present at least much cheaper than that of magnesium to which it is said to be only very vely slightly inferior in actinic energy it is not liot llo
