When the Rosetta Stone was discovered nobody knew how to read the hieroglyphs or ancient Egyptian demotic. The stone was also written in ancient Greek. Since the inscriptions said the same thing in three different languages the Rosetta Sone became a very valuable piece of information. Through the work of many people, it took more than two months to uncover what the Rosetta Stone said. The Rosetta Stone is a rock that was written on by Egyptian priests for the honor of an Egyptian Pharaoh named Ptolemy V Epiphanes.

Even though the Rosetta Stone is in three different languages archeologists and scholars were able to translate it and read the inscriptions in a modern understanding. Jean-Francois Champollion was the first to crack the code of the Rosetta Stone. Napoleon Bonaparte's a french soldier was the first to find the Rosetta Stone with the writing near the town of Rashid. While digging the additions of a foundation for a fort near the town or Rashid in the Nile Delta the Stone was found.

The Damage on the Rosetta Stone made the three texts incomplete. The Egyptian hieroglyphics had suffered the most damage out of the three texts. Some of the text is incomplete due to cracks and missing pieces from the stone, but scholars and archeologists were still able to translate what it said. The Egyptian priests had craved the Rosetta Stone 196 BC during the Ptolemaic dynasty. The stone was made of a material called Granodiorite.

STORIES OF USEFUL INVENTIONS, excerpt
By S. E. Forman

1911

THE MATCH

There never was a time when the world was without fire, but there was a time when men did not know how to kindle fire; and after they learned how to kindle one, it was a long, long time before they learned how to kindle one easily. In these days we can kindle a fire without any trouble, because we can easily get a match; but we must remember that the match is one of the most wonderful things in the world, and that it took men thousands of years to learn how to make one. Let us learn the history of this familiar little object, the match.

Fire was first given to man by nature itself. When a forest is set on fire by cinders from a neighboring volcano, or when a tree is set ablaze by a thunderbolt, we may say that nature strikes a match. In the early history of the world, nature had to kindle all the fires, for man by his own effort was unable to produce a spark. The first method, then, of getting fire for use was to light sticks of wood at a flame kindled by nature—by a volcano, perhaps, or by a stroke of lightning. These firebrands were carried to the home and used in kindling the fires there. The fire secured in this way was carefully guarded and was kept burning as long as possible. But the flame, however faithfully watched, would sometimes be extinguished. A sudden gust of wind or a sudden shower would put it out. Then a new firebrand would have to be secured, and this often meant a long journey and a deal of trouble.

In 1827, John Walker, a druggist in a small English town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash, and sulphid of antimony, and rubbed it on sandpaper, and it burst into flame. The druggist had discovered the first friction-chemical match, the kind we use to-day. It is called friction-chemical because it is made by mixing certain chemicals together and rubbing them. Although Walker's match did not require the bottle of acid, nevertheless it was not a good one. It could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions. In a few years, however, phosphorus was substituted on the tip for antimony, and the change worked wonders. The match could now be lighted with very little rubbing, and it was no longer necessary to have sandpaper upon which to rub it. It would ignite when rubbed on any dry surface, and there was no longer any sputtering. This was the phosphorus match, the match with which we are so familiar.


Which sentence from the text describes a problem with Walker's match that the phosphorus match tried to solve?
A. A sudden gust of wind or a sudden shower would put it out.
B. Although Walker's match did not require the bottle of acid, nevertheless it was not a good one.
C. A druggist in a small English town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash, and sulphid of antimony.
D. It could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions.

I HAVE 5 MINUTES
The Fence

I sat in the truck and looked out over the dashboard at my dad. The lights from the truck's headlights lit up the night and I could see my dad as he knelt in the snow to inspect the mangled fence. I watched quietly as he looked at the damage. Muddy tire tracks led from the road to the damaged fence. Broken wood and wire were everywhere. Broken glass lay beside a fence post. It looked bad.

My dad struggled to straighten the wire. He was having a very hard time. The fence needed a lot of work. Dad stood up, brushed the snow from his pants and walked back to the truck. A gust of wind entered the truck as he climbed in.

"Can you fix the fence?" I asked my dad as he settled in the truck.

"I think so," he said. "But it's too dark to fix now and I need my tools and more wood." I thought he might tell me more.

"It will be a big job. It isn't right that you have to fix it all by yourself when some one else crashed through it and ruined it," I said.

My dad looked at me and smiled. "I think someone will come forward and admit to hitting the fence," he said.

When we arrived at home, dad made me hot chocolate. I sat at the table in the kitchen and sipped my drink slowly as I listened to the wind howling outside.

Thirty minutes later, as we cleaned up our hot chocolate, light shown across our lawn and into our kitchen. Dad and I looked outside to see who was there. As I looked outside, I noticed the car in the driveway only had one headlight. The car stopped and the driver walked through the snow, towards our front door.

"Are you Mr. Smith?" the stranger asked when dad opened the door.

"Yes," Dad answered. "How can I help you?"

"Well, sir, my name is Tom Jones. I want to apologize for running into your fence this morning." Mr. Jones went on the explain he had been driving home from work and hit an icy patch and slid off of the road. He apologized again and promised he would help my dad fix the fence. He wrote down his name, address, and phone number on a piece of paper. He gave the paper to my dad. He shook my dad's hand and left.

Dad smiled as he closed the door. Dad could see I was surprised that someone had come to tell the truth. "Dad, how did you know someone would come and tell you about the fence?" I asked.

Dad said, "Well, I know I would have done the right thing, and I know you would have done the right thing. I think that most people have good hearts. I had faith this person would do the right thing too."
