Ancient Scales Discovered.

A pair of scales much like those of the modern pharmacist is among the multitude of objects discovered this year In excavations about thirty miles from Thebes and recently exhibited in London. The scales are finely finished, have a beam about four and one-half inches long, with a ring at each end of the three cords, and the pans, about the size of an English penny, are slightly convex.
