The Great Pyramid.


AT the ordinary meeting Of the RoyaI
Society at Edinburgh, held recently in
the Royal Institution, Sir David Brews-
ter presiding, Professor Piazzi Smyth, in
compliance with the request of the Coun-
ell, gave an account of the recent meas
urements of the great pyramid, and the
deductions flowing therefrom He begun
by stating that, with a view to clear up
the mystery which surrounded the OBJ
iects and origin of the great pyramid at
Jeezeh, he spent four months there max
ing observations and taking measure
ments. Having described tho geological
formation and appearance Of the ground
on which the pyramid is situated, and
described the difference between the
pyramid and the multitudinous tombs
which surround it-namely, that there is
an entire absence Of bieroglyphic in.
scriptions on the latter-he gave a suffi-
cient account of the numerous measure
ments he had made of all parts of the
pyramid; and the conclusion he drew
from the investigations was that they
the hypothesis, which was the
oldest Eastern tradition, and the youngest
Western theory-namely, that the great
pyramid was originally, whatever it was
subsequently made into, intended for a
standard of weights and measures, not so
much for reference as for keeping these
standards safe, thousands Of years,
through all the vicissitudes of nations
He then proceeded to show that the
sides of the pyramid gave the standard
of linear measure, not according to the
NiIometer, as had been supposed by some,
but according to the sacred cubit and the
ancient Saxon standards, The Golfer in
what was known as the Kings chambers,
in the center of the pyramid, was a
standard of capacity and weight, and
contained the same amount as the He
brew chomer and the Saxon quarter
The central chamber gave the average of
heat, and in the grand gallery hew led
to look for the measurement of time
While contrasting the mean height of the
gallery with that of the passage ap-
preaching it, he found that the height Of
the latter was about one-seventh of that
of the former. It was in the chamber
called the Queens Chamber, which had
been such puzzle to the learned, that
he found the most conclusive evidence in
Urbana union. [volume] (Urbana, Ohio) 1862-1872, 1866-11-07

support Of his theory. The room wa'
seven-sided, and not only so, but one o.
the sides was pushed outwards about
twenty five inches, as if to indicate thai
while six days were ordinary days, the
seventh was more noble and glorious
He concluded by some illusions to the
astronomy of the pyramid, and specula-
tions as to the date of its erection, which
he placed at about 2180 B. g. He also
directed special attention to the fact that
the Egyptian measures and the measures
of the great pyramid were radically
different and stated further that the
observations with reference to its site
seemed to have been taken from the
Pleiades, rather than from those stars
formerly supposed. Professor Kelland
proposed a vote of thanks to Professor
Piazzi Smyth for his very valuable ad-
dress. Lord Neaves seconded the motion,
and in the course of his remarks, observed
that the learned Professor had procured
most important data for future investiga-
tions into this subject. Previous to the
ordinary business of the meeting, the
President presented the Neill medal to
professor Ramsey.-Sc0tchnsan.

Size Of the Ark,

INFIDELs have objected to the size Of
the ark-have asserted that it is quite
absurd to suppose that ever there could
be a vessel constructed large enough to
hold all the creatures which must have
been placed in it, with sufficient food. it
may be, from six to twelve months
water for the fish. corn for the four footed
animals, seed for the birds, and so on
Now we will take the dimensions of the
ark from the record Of Moses, and caleu-
late them on the lowest possible scale
There are two definitions given to cubit
One that is eighteen inches. We will
take It only at the lowest. Moses states
that the ark was 800 eubits LONG. This
would make it $50 feet long, or about
the length Of St. Paul's Cathedral, Lon
don. The breadth it states to be 40
cubit we then have it IS feet ia breadth.
He states it to be SO cubits high, so that
it was 40 feet in hight. The tunnage of
the, ark according to computation of
modern carpenters, must have been 81
900 tuns. The largest English ship Of
size altogether tnimaginable to those
who have never seen it. is $500 tuns
burden; so the ark must have been equal
TO seventeen Grst-rate ships of war, and
if armed as such ships are, it would have
contained beyond $4,000 men, and pro-
visions for them for eighteen months
Bufod has asserted that all four-footed
animals may be reduced to $50 pairs, and
the birds to still smaller number. On
calculating therefore we find that the ark
would have held more than five times the
necessary number of creatures, more than
FIVE times the required quantity of food
to maintain them for twelve months.

! THE CURABLITY" OF CONSUMPTION having
been conclusively demonstrated BY the pro,
gress Of Medical Science during the past si1
years, it is Of Importance to understand clear
! y what is meant by this express1on
Consumption, as matter of fact, often ex-
lists in the system long before it maniifests its
! elf by tnbercular deposits within the Lungs
Weakness and Wasting are its first general
signs. There is evidently Depraved Con-
dition slowly establishing itself, and this Con-
dition is what the scientific physician has in
view when he speaks of Consumption. By
its " durability" be means the correction Of
this Condition. Yet the popular conception
is, that Consumption is only and merely q
disease originating in the Lungs themselves,
and this mistake entails untold misery upon
the suffering because of the encouragement
which it gives to the pretensions of the in
halationists, and because it leads the patient
TO parley with the symptoms of his disease,
instead of giving battle to the Depraved Con-
stitutiOnal Condition which is his real foe
He loses his strength, and he takes 'touics'
and 'stimul8nts.' He loses his color. ard he
takes iron. He loses flesh, and he taxes cod
liver OIL and gains little deceptive fat. He
has Night Sweats, Cough, Hectic, Fever
Chills, &c, and for these be takes acids,
"congh mixtures" quinine, &c. but all in
Vain-because none of these things singly,
nor all of them combined, can do more than
mitigate or modify the severity of one or more
of the Symptoms OF this malady. It should
be understood that the whole series of Symp-
toms may safely be left to take care Of them
selves, if treatment be adopted which will
correct the General Morbid Condition in
which the Symptoms have conception and
from which they take birth.
do not hesitate to say, in full view of my
responsibilities, that the life of nine persons
out Of ten, who now die Of Consumption,
might either be saved or greatly prolonged.
The most important matter in the treatment
Of Consumption, and all It's related disorders
fthe right remedy being pre-supposed), }, is
Time. The work of repair or recovery from
an insiduous, wasting Constitutional Disease
must necessarily proceed slowly. The more
advanced the disease, the more clearly does
this truth appear; and it is OF paramount i'm
portance,, in these cases, that the treatment
should be both moderate and persistent The
right remedy. improperly used, may prove
as hurtful or useless as a wrong OF a worth
less remedy Remember, therefore. that
Patience and Caution are the virtues to be
cultivated. Extracts from the Rev. @. E.

a loss where to put it till could kill it; but
a quart bottle full of milk being on the table,
placed the beetle for the present under that,
the hollow at the bottom allowing him room
to stand upright. Presently, to my surprise,
the bottle began to move slowly and glide
along the smooth table, propelled by the
muscular power Of the imprisoned insect, and
continued for some time TO perambulate the
surface, to the astonishment of All who wit
messed it. The weight Of the bottle and its
contents could not have been less than three
pounds and halt, while that of the beetles
was about half an onnce so that it really
moved weight one hundred and twelve
times its own. A better notion than figures

Benefit Of Advertising.

TEE Boston Investigator says: Last
week an old friend from Western New York,
while here on a visit to our office, accidental
" left his wallet, containin :. some fifty DOL.
lars, in an eating house. His loss was not
discovered until some time afterward, but,
being stranger in the. e.oity, he was unable to
end his way back to the house alluded to-
In this dilemma he advertised his loss in the
Herald, and the result was, he found his
rocket book and all. The advertisement was
seen BY the saloon keeper { Mr.. Hayes, on
Washington street) who, being an honest
man. returned the treasure, and our New
York friend went on his way rejoicing. i'm
pressed, no doubt, with the belief that Bos-
ton is not so bad place aher all; and that
advertising is not without its benefits"
