ANCIENT EGYPrIAN ARCHITECTURE.
LECTURE BY CLARENCE COOK on THE EGYPTIAN
PYRAMIDS. ToMBs, AND TEMPLES.

LECTURE BY CLARENCE COOK on THE EGYPTIAN
PYRAMIDS, ToMBs, AND TEMPLES.
Clarence Cook gave his second lecture in the
course upon Architecture last evening in the chapel Of
the Rev. Dr. Crosbys Church, at Fourthave and Twen-
tysecondst The subject was Ancient Egyptian Archi-
lecture" and the lecture illustrated by the sere-
opticon.
The first view thrown upon the screen showed the
Pyramid of CheOps and the Other Pyramids The speaker
explained that although the Pyramids were generally
considered very ancient there st some dispute
TO the age when they built Their builders
were not known and 1t seemed probable that they
never would be discovered. At the pre- 'ent day
it was generally accepted, however that they were
built by the ancient Egyptian kings TO serve as tombs
which would be lasting monuments also of their great
ness Many wild theories about them had always been
and would always be In vogue They built facing
the north This probably account of a supersti
ton that it was good augury They had originally
sharp apex and a smooth surface, the outer covering
consisting of limestone This had been carried away for
the City Of Cairo The removal Of this
outer casing had left the steps by which travellers easily
assembled their sides. The hight Of Chcops about
$50 feet aud IL was TAG feet square All OF the Pyramids
were built upon a rocky plateau which rose 100 feet
above the sand. Places for the foundation
stones were excayaed In the solid rock 20 the depth or
about 10 foet The lecturer related arccdOte about
liz queen for whom OF the smaller Pyramids is sup
posed have been built, very Similar 10 the nursery tale

this very fine picture of the Sphinx then thrown

sweet expression FOR which il Is celebrated and which
so clearly remains despite its defacement Tn fore legs
and feet of this cOucilt seulfbeast, semIIinan

between them was found temple, 10 which thousands
