CURIOUS DrscoyERY,-In the great Pyramid
of Egypt is small opening at the top, the depth
of which has never been sounded Another aper-
ture of the same size exists at the foot of the
Pyramid 1t was long conjectured that these
two openings communicated with each other, but
no means could be devised to establish the fact,
till the problem was solved recently by the in
genuity of an Arab. He took cat and her
kittens, placed the old cat in one aperture and
the kittens in the other, and stopped up both
with stones The next day he opened them, and
found cat and kittens oil together at the foot of
the long passage.
