Srosss or ruk PIRANiDs.-l dare say
very many viii differ from me in my opin-
ion, and say hard things in reference to my
lack of taste and want Of appreciation of
tho so-styled wonderful. but I am bold to
tn confess that nv first impression on reach
ing tbs Pyramids Of Sakkara was one Of
disappointment. From what had read,
and from all had heard tourists relate from
time to time. regarding the wonderful size
OF tho blocks Of stone composing these
great structures, ! was led to imagine that
the individual blocks Of stone were 30
large that Il became difficult matter TO
form any clear conception as to the manner
in which they were piled one upon another.
The blocks Of stone, whom | had looked
well at them. lid not convey to my mind
any very exalted idea Of magnitude; nei-
Their could ], for the lie Of me, sec any
real difficulty, where laborcrs wero num-
bsrcd by the thousand, rs we read, in mis-
ing any one Of the blocks Of stone com.
posing the mas Of the pyramid from the
base TO tho summit. To put this matter to
a moro ,xnc,icsl test. we carefully measure
ed some Of the larger blocks In the Gizeh
pyramids, and by calculation We found that
the hesviea block Of ssonel making up the
structure Of The pyramid did not exceed
two and half tons, and that by Ear the
greater part were. Of course. much lighter.
