A. two-years' study at lilzcli haa

tho Egyptian stone-worker of 1,000
years ago had a surprising- acquaint
ance with what havo uoen considered
modern tools. Among the many tools
used by tho pyramid builders were
both tolid and tubular drills and
straight and circular saws. The
drills. Ilka tlioo of today, were, says
an exchange, bet with Jewels (prob
ably corundum, as the diamond was
very scarce), and even lathe tools had
such cutting edges. So remarkable
was the nihility of the tubular drills
and tho skill of tho workmen, that
the cutting marks In hard granite
give uo Indication of wear of tho tool,
while a cut of a tenth of an inch was
made In the hardest rock at each
revolution, and a hole through both
tho hardest and softest material was
bored perfectly smooth and uniform
throughout. Of the material nnd
method of making tho tools uothlng
