One of the oldest and most curious of existing industries is the making of narrow rings or bracelets, called ban gles, from the chank, or sacred shell of the Hindus. This conch Turkinella pyrum. Linn. is found chiefly at a depth of about two fathoms in the gulf of Manaar, and about 2,000,000 of the shells are exported annually to Cal cutta. So important is the bangle of the Hindu women that J. Horntll, representing the Madras government, has specially investigated the industry. Tracing the early history of chank or naments, Mr. Hornell is unable to as sign prehistoric specimens in the Ma dras museum to the later stone age, as had been previously done, but believes marks on some of them were made by metal implements. He has found, how ever, remains of ancient bangle fac tories scattered over the greater part of India. Bangle cutting Is now con fined almost entirely to Bengal, and it proves to be in flourishing condition in spite of the growing taste for gold or naments. All the news all the time Thf Argus.
