4 singular quarrel jlas. arisen in tho Egyptian
Gallery Of tho British Museum. 4 clergyman OF
tho Church OF England recently proposed TO haye
q monument Of tho G.eat Pyramid erected in
proper chronological position at tho head and
beginning OF the Gallery, and one of the ancient
casing stones, recently discovered which Lep-
sius declares are the Oldest architectural monu-
mcnts still existing above the face Of the earth,
wes offered. The Trustees of the Gallery, how
ever, acsing upon the ndvice Of the Egyptolo-
gists, asserted that there has been nothing now
discovered ct the Pyramids, and rejected the
proposition leaving the impure statues Of the
animal gods Of later and the most idola-
tious age Of Egypt to have the place
OF honor. The war with the idols is attracting
very general interest. Meanwhile, the clergy
man contents himself with the old prophecy
which Cnmbyses commenced to fulfil, that these
vile things, the seducers Of nations, should be
brought low. An interesting mathematical fact
is connected with this famous stone. Tho
London Atheneuna says that the length Of
its front foot is not the "ordinary profane
cubic Of old Egypt, nor any extraordinary
profane one either, nor anything Whatever
that the modern Egyptolosists Of Europe hare
ever suspected; but, within the limits Of mensu-
ration error now unavoidable, the number Of
just twenty-five Pyramid inches, neither less nor
more. And twenty-five Pyramid inches have
been shown to be the ten-1nillioath part Of the
length Of the earths semi-axis Of rotation, IS
well as to have been tho length OF the cubit Of
Noah, Moses, and Solomon; OF, in the words Of
Moses to the Hebrews before Sinai, the cubit OF
the Lord their God"
