LONDON, October 9. —The most an
cient copper used hy man early in the
dawn of civilization may have been
smelted by Ihe heat of petroleum, one
of the most modern of fuels. This is
the novel theory advanced hy Percy

the British scientific journal. Nature,
j It was nature rather than man him
i self, who arranged the smelting. Sir

| of the Egyptian paradise descril*ed in
! the "Book of the Dead” and a region
j along the rivers of the lore and Kura

j have been the original home of the
! Egyptians, where they learned the

writing of language.
