In the good work being done by the American Book
Exchange, 30 l3eekman street, N. Y. by introduce
ing the plan of publishing and selling books direct
to purchasers instead of giving the large discounts
usually allowed to dealers and agents to sell for
them by working on the basis of the present cost
of making books, which is about one-half what il
was few years ago, and by printing very large
editions, which also greatly reduces the cost as
compared with small editions, they are able to
furnish books at prices which, to most people seem
truly astonishing, but which they say are only
reasonable. They publish as follows:

CLEoPATRAs NEEDLE-About eighteen
months ago negotiations were begun, at the
instance of the New York World, for the pur-
pose of securing to the city of New York the
grand obelisk now standing at Alexandria,
in Egypt. About 100000 was raised and
the World announces that the Khedive of
Egypt has offered this magnificent monument
to New York city. 1t is a companion to the
obelisk transported to England from Alexan-
dria two years ago. These obelisks are of
rosc-colored sycnite and are known as "Cleo-
patra's Needles" They are nearly 70 feet
in height and each consists of single stone.
They stood on the banks of the Leyant, at
Alexandria, for nearly 1000 years, having been
removed there in the time of Cleopatra from
Karnac and Heliopolis, where they were first
erected at an unknown period of antiquity
A great deal of controversy has ragged among
the learned in regard to their meaning, but
notwithstanding all that has been said and
written about them, as well as about other
similar monuments which still stand in Egypt
or have been transferred TO Rome, Aries,
Paris and London, no absolute certainty as to
their import has yet been reached.
