States Coast Survey and this will afford
a creditable beginning to the work laid
out.
To show the strange things the Great
Pyramid really contains, have imagined
the Master Builder calling his engineers
and overseers around him, and address
ing them in this fashion, preparatory to
setting about the work:
"I will have the Number Fi0e to be the
.aynabol5cazfgQre in my proposed structure.
It shall be inself a sided figure Count
ing the basal plane), so there shall be 81
corner-stones, and angles. The cham
bers of construction shall be 5 in number.
The great ante-chamber, which | will
bnild in front of the principal apartment,
shall be in height .1Goe of my metrons, and
over the doorway of that Hottest of Ho-
lies will engrave device that shall per
petuate my selection of this figure 5. And
finally, that even the chisel's edge may be
made familiar with it, 5 species of stone
shall be wrought into the building itself.
"From the northeastern point of my
projected Pyramid lay you off square
that shall have 1873 measures of this me
tron upon each side Upon that surface
build strongly, and build high. From
yonder quarries at Massarah bring 1900
900 tons of stone, and lay it here, block
upon block, until my metron may be
drawn 1862 times from base to apex.
"See you yonder polar star, moving in
its circle, about the true North. [ will
have the point of it's z0loer elimination
indicated by the angle of the entrance
passage to my building, and the point II
its upper elimination by the angle Of the
air tube to the principal chamber, while
the eract place Of the true North itself shall
be established by more than one token in
the body of the building, in such a man,
ner that the learning of future ages will
infallibly discover it.
1.-THE entrance passage to the Pyramid,
and all the ways through its mass, shall
be narrow and difficult; for while the
bulk of the fabric shall swell to 100000
cubic yards, only the 1890 part of this
bulk, or 1000 cubic yards in all shall be
given to openings of any kind all the
rest shall be solid enough to resist earth
quakes, the effects of gravitation, and the
explosive agencies employed by man.
81 will have all the passages of the
Pyramid lined with the most eduring
MARBLE and the Sacred Apartment with
the hardest granite. The, holy Golfer shall be
excavated from porphyryhard,- -inf1exible,
unaffected by the variation of tempera-
ture and the action of the atmosphere.
All that you do here, let it be exquisitely
wrought, so that the visitor of forty cen.
to come, knowing that in this genial eli
mate rain and the breeze gently kiss but
not abrdde the stones, shall see our work
as our cotemporarles see it,and give Us due
credit therefor
q will have this done in the spirit of
the inspired men who have instructed me.
These are the lines, these are the angles,
these the dimensions upon which shall be
founded the weights and measures of all
mankind to the end Of the world. My
metron is the sacred cublt, which, in the
hands of Gods holy builders, shall meas
ure and lay off all sacred edifces devoted
to His worship, while the sun and moon
shall endure. 1t is the metron that, in
the hands Of the Creator, was stretched
through empty space ten million times, as
you are to stretch it from the northeast
angle Of this socket, southwark, and west
ward, ndIeastWard one hundred and eighty
three times. In the hands Of the Creator
it measured the line Of the earth's axis Of
rotation as in years it shall measure the
bounding lines OF our work /; and SO when
inquiring angels and more inquisitive
men shall seek to recall the measuring
stick by which Jehovah traced out axes
| and orbits and the boundaries of system,
they have but to come here and verify
their defective rods by laying them along
the sides Of your work. For your work,
in it's magnitude and loftlness, shall en-
dure SO long as anything or material re-
mains upon which to apply measures of
metal and wood
"And not this alone. Mankind, who
must ever look. to mother earth both
! for their grain and their graves, shall no
longer war with each other upon the
question Of eGrtb-no6GSNres the common
| Father hath settled that for all of lis off
spring, and his 010n measure we establish
| lish here IN eternal stone. To this noun
tain shall they come, as to an umpire
whose voice IS divine, irresistible, decisive.
Nor this alone Offerings by aOeigtt
and offerings by measure will the holy
priests require, that the Divine service
be perpetuated until the promised seed
shall come He has not left to the erring
judgments of men this question of weights
and measures, but has communicated his
will unto US in all particulars of this sub
ject In this stony pile, now to be erect
led, I will establish the divine poooer
and the divine a0ejghts and to this noun
tain shall wrangling traders come and
seal their scale-yards and their vessels of
capacity by an unerring law, and go home
to wrangle no more.
CHOW go forth. Lay down your cause
ways and erect your bridges to yonder
quarry, and bring hither such piles of
stone as all TIE world may oaze upon and
