HIGnT OF THE PYRAMIDS. The French
expedition made the first accurate meas
uremcnt at the commencement Of this
century, Of the Egyptian pyramids. -
Subsequently to that, however, the first
and Only thorough exploration and exam
ination Of the Pyramids, which has hith-
erto been accomplished, was made by
Col. Howard Vyse, with whom was Mr..
j. E. Perring. The books of Col. Vyse,
published in 1910, and the immense vol.
ume of plates by Messrs. Perring & An
drews, are now the only trustworthy au-
thority on this subject. The present
height Of the pyramid Of Chcops, from the
base to the topmost stone now remaining
is exactly -i50 English feet. Col. Nysc's
explorations resulted in exposing view
specimens Of the ancient casting stones in
position. For the pyramid is at present
pile Of rough stones, in tiers, each tier
narrower than that below it, SO that the
scent is series Of steps. But these
steps were formerly filled with triangular
white stones, polished down to a smooth
and perfect slope from base to apex. -
This entire casting of white stone has
been removed. The mosque of the Sui
tan HasSan, and other buildings in Cairo.
were constructed from material thus OBJ
tanned. Col. Vysc, finding some of the
lowest casting stones in Situ," was ena-
bled to obtain, for the first time, the exact
angle Of the sloping surface, and thus to
calculate, with mathematical accuracy,
the precise hight of the original apex OF
the pyramid, supposing it to have been a
sharp point. This hight was 4S0 feet 0
inches in English measurement.
The reader who desires to obtain an ap,
proximate idea Of the appearance of the
great pyramid, by comparison with famil-
lar objects, will find this difficult, for the
reason that it is impossible for any but an
experienced person to reproduce in imag-
ination, the hight of lofty objects. A
mountain 1900 feet high appears but lit
tie higher than one which is 1000 feet,
unless the two arc seen together. A hun
dred feet on the top Of Il slopinS object
200 feet high, makes in the prospective
but very small difference indeed. The
spire Of Trinity Church, at the head Of
Wall street, appears to the eye nearly as
high as the pyramid OF Cheops, although
it lacks, perhaps, 200 feet of equaling it.
The base Of the pyramid is TAG feet
square. The ancient base with the cast.
ing stones. was eighty feet larger. With
these measurements before him the reader
can see for himself how many city blocks
the pyramids would cover Journal Of
Commerce.

had long been under the sway of factious
aud political intriguers. Far distant was
the period when the great body Of the
citizens was wont to rise at the bidding
OF some trusted leader, or at the dictate
OF common sympathy, and express their
will by q success on to the Sacred Mount,
or a sudden refusal to enlist in the legions.
Throughout the horrors of the Marian
and Sultan revolutions. while Roman
blood waa flowing in torrents, and nc
mans throat was secure from the grippe of
the assassin, they looked on with palsied
apathy, and submitted to the reign of ter
ror almost without q murmur. Habits of
camp discipline and familiarity with the
use Of arms seem, from manifold expert
ence, to be rather unfayorable than other
wise to the development of civil courage
and self-relianee at home. During the
struggles of Cesar and Pompius the
same populace continued equally inert,
though the success of either the one or
the other might be the signal for a sec
ond series OF prescriptions, and when
those prescriptions we're actually repeat
ed at the biddings of the triumyiri they
were found not less patient of outrage
and massacre than ever. They seem TO
have utterly renounced the power Of as
sorting any principle or wish of their own;
the love of life itself seems to have de
generated into a mere animal instinct"
This is enough. The leading idea of.
this period of Roman history IS plain.
1t was the listlessness of the best classee
in the great political questions of TIL
hour. The result was, civil war, a civil
~dissension, until death ensued. Let US
take warning from the example. Now,
if ever. is the time for Americans TO see
