war-clubs, but wli ether they were so used or not is of course mere 

 speculation. Among our implements of unknown uses, perhaps the 

 most interesting- and valuable one is Fig. 60. So far as I have been 

 able to ascertain, it is the only one that has thus far been found. It 

 is a triangular prism of slate, with sides three fourths of an inch wide,

originally about 5 inches long, and having at each end two holes that 

 meet. The one hole is bored with a slant of about 45 degrees (see 

 section a) from near the end of one side till its Junction with a hole 

 bored from the end of the i^risni. The other end of the specimen, 

 though much broken, was evidently fashioned in the same way. The 

 holes are funnel shaped and are such as would be ])roduced by a stone 

 drill. Two sides of the prism bear symmetrical scratches, evidently 

 once of some significance, now in part defaced by wear and in part by 

 the ancient use of the stone for whetting purposes.
