✦ Synopsis

Widenb~g of the Hydrogen Rays. 71 The Stone Age in China.--The annals of the Tung dynasty, which was established A.D. 618, speak of stone axes, knives and swords. The annals of the Youen dynasty (A. D. 1260 to 1341) mention soldiers who used stone arrows in fighting. In a Chinese dictionary which was published in 1726 arrows are also spoken of which were pointed by a black stone. Stone arrows were sent to the Emperor Hou Hang, B. C. 1100, and the Chinese books speak of some knives and hatchets of a still greater antiquity.--Les Mondes, xxxi, 626.
