THREE STRAEA OF CITIES

1t is well known by all students of
geology that our earth has been growing
thicker by the gradual deposit of mineral
and other matter in the bottom of oceans
and great inland lakes. Some of these
deposits in past ages, called the Silurian
and red sandstone, are many thousand
feet in thickness. The highest mounts
aims are the youngest in the worlds his
tory, because they lifted up with them
this greater thickness of earth, which
did not exist when the older mountains
were forced upward.
Prof. Schliemann, in his explorations
on the site of old Troy, dug through
three tiers of cities. The upper one was
evidently modern, and its relics belong
to a recent civilization. The second
Prof. Schliemann believes to be the
Troy of Homer, for it is full of relics of
weapons described by Homer, and of
household vessels mentioned in the
"uiad."
The third city belongs to prehistoric
times, when barbarisms prevailed, and
stone weapons and utensils Msrs ID use,
like those found 81 ancient caverns. and
in the sunken villages of Swiss lakes.
We can understand how strata are
formed at the bottom of the ocean, or
how Pompeii was buried by the eruption
of Vesuvius. But it is not so easy to ex-
plain how cities are buried over hun
bred feet by the slow working of natural
laws. - -.-........e

One of the most remarked figures
now in London is the Secretary of the
American Legation. Mr.. Steinwhy is a
Kentuckian, six feet eight in height, and
as straight as rush, thin, bony, muscu-
lar, so years of age, with the most Won
derful typical Yankee face and general
aspect it is possible 10 conceive. There
is something dmost ridiculous in the
realization he is though a Kentuckiap,
Of the Yankee of Punch. When lie
stands in room, = full head and slsould-
ers over everybody, all eyes are on
him. As witty Irish Nj. p. said, the
lean giant looks hollow enough to swal-
low any quartity of principles. He
knows he is a remarkable figure, and
meets the amused and admiring glances
with o siy twinkle Of the eye which
seems to come down from the stars.

Paris and Switzerland.

There Is no transition more grateful
IN the heated term than that from the
nervous, wearisome, lifeless air of Paris
to the cool uplands of Switzerland.
Great cities have atmospheres of their
own and 1 am afraid that they are
usually unpleasant and unhealthy ones.
When there is an aggregation OF two or
three millions of people, and, of miles
on miles Of houses, the air seems life
less. Yet the dweller in the city con-
trives curiously enough to thrive on his
hot house air, as cacti and orchids thrive
IN the mammoth conservatories of Eng
land. What is the mysterious arrange
ment by which the Partisan maidens,
who have never been near mountains,
and who have always breathed the air
OF badly ventilated apartments" have
such delicate beauty, such lustrous
eyes. such pretty compilations, and
such wealth of black hair The Swiss
maid of the peaks--may heaven forgive
me for want of gallantry possesses no
such beauty. Her features are angu.
lar, and 80 is her form, in ninety. nine
cases out of a hundred. She has an
alarming tendency to long neckedness.
Even when she has good looking face,
its charms are neutralized by the de-
fects of the neck and bust. l cannot
see that there is any difference in the
quiet phenomenal plainness of the
women in the German and French
cantons. Now, why are not the beauti-
ful types here In these inspiring noun
tains, where every morn!ng your brows
are bathed in the nist of clouds and
your cheeks are famed by pure breezes
which sweep across eternal SHOWS, and
why are not the ugly and common
types in the city, where girl is often
brought up in street in which she
sees nothing more picturesque than a
window filled with carrots and turnips,
the front of cafe painted tawdry
white, and a cab stand with it's melan-
choly rank Of blear, eyed coachmen and
half-dead horses? Why, Istould have
expected to sec in these majestic noun
tain passes and on these winding white
roads which seem to scale the very
skies, women like daughters of the
gods. But, no; you find them in the
Rue Aux Ours or at Batiqualles, but
not in poetic and grandiose Switzer-
land. The women here have prema.
turely worn and aged look; if at twenty
they were robust and possessed of that
certain attraction which good health
bestows-at thirty they are faded and
seem to take pleasure only in going
through their dull and never ending
round of duty. For they do the great
er share of the work in field and in
house, and. in addition to this rear
huge families. If they are angular
they are useful.

Elevated Roads a Nuisance.

An Englishmen writes to the New
York YmGS: New York has three things
to do to bring her into rivalry with the
appearance OF Paris and London. She
must have and cleanse her streets, tear
down her telegraph posts and convey
her wires underground, and abolish
her latest " notion"-the elevated rail
way. Nothing better illustrates the
differences CT Legislative power between
London and New York than the elevated
railway. 1t would be impossible for
the corporation of London or any other
governmental force to perpetrate an
outrage on property-owners and resi-
dents such as that of the elevated road
in New York. The quietest town in
England would have risen and torn it
down, had it first been possible to put
it up. Is it not a great convenience
Yes, found it pleasant thing to
step aboard at Eighteenth street and go
to the City Hall IN about the time it
used to take me to get from there to- the
New York Hotel; but ut what sacrifices
of health and comfort and the value of
property is this convenience given to
me! Don't think it fine piece of en-
gineeripg skill? l do. Don't l think
it nicer travelling than on the under
ground railway in London? Certainly
| do. The tunneled road in London is
the most unhealthy and unpleasant
kind of railway. To travel on it is al
most rs bad as being jolted to death in
a New York cab from the docks to
Union Square at five dollars ride.
But it rams before no mans window, it
blocks no mans light, il ruins no citi-
Z MS pro! "rty, and 1t converts no pic
tEreS4ue- looking ANA comfortable
street into bowling wilderness. The
citizens of London have sufficient con-
stitutionai power over the government
of their city to prevent any such injus-
tice as that.
A Kentucky man has two springs on
his place, the waters Of which, when
mixed, oilervesce like a seidlitz powder,
and when an old mule got loose the
other night and drank copiously from
first one spring and then from the 9th
er, it was seventeen minutes before he
could catch his breath, and then he
went and kicked down tour rods Of
fence, to make sure the disturbance
wasn't caused by his swallowing his
own hind legs.

How the Pyramids Were Built.

The pyramids are the tombs of the
early kings. Perfectly adjusted to the
cardinal points of the horizon, they
differ in breadth and height. as is shown
by the measurements of the three old
est, as follows: l. Pyramid of khufa
height, 450.75 feet; breadth, TAG feet.
2. Pyramid of Khafra--height, 447.5
feet; breadth, 690.75 feet. 3. Pyramid
of Menkara-height, 203 feet; breadth,
352.7o feet. The construction of these
enormous masses has long been an in.
soluble mystery, but later generations
have succeeded in solving the problem.
AS soon as the king mounted the
throne, he gave orders to nobleman,
the master Of all the buildings of his
land, to plan the tomb and cut the
stone. The kernel of the future eaitice
was raised on the limestone soil of the
desert, in the form of small pyramid
built in steps. of which the well con.
structed and finished interior formed the
kings eternal dwelling, with his stone
sarcophagus lying on the rocky floor.
"A second covering was added, stone by
stone, on the outside of the kernel q
third to this secord, and to this even
fourth; and the mass of the giant build
ing grew greater the longer the king en-
joyed existence. And then, at last,
when it became almost impossible to
extend the area Of the pyramids further,
casing of hard stone. polished like
glass, and fitted accurately into the
angles of the steps, covered the vast
mass of the sepulchre, presenting a
gigantic triangle on each of its four
faces.
More than seventy such pyramids
once rose on the margin of the desert,
each telling Of king of whom it was
at once the tomb and monument. Had
not the greater number of these sepul.
chres of the Pharaohs been destroyed
almost to the foundation, and had the
names of the builders of these which
sill stand been accurately preserved,
it would have been easy for the inquirer
10 prove and make clear by calculation
what was originally, aud of necessity,
the proportion between the masses of
the pyramids and the years of the
reigns of their respective builders.

a Fast Dog.

A Tanner dog has been introduced
to the British public. His master, who
lives in Devonshire, left home some
weeks since on series of visits to his
friends in distant part of the country.
A few days after his departure his SER
want wrote to him that favorite Skye
terrier was missing. The household,
after every search had proved fruitless,
considered that the dog had been stolen.
On the proprietor's return, after an alb
sence of one month and five days, he
unlocked the library, the doors and
windows of which had been bolted and
barred during his absence, and to his
establishment the missing dog crept
out into the light. living skeleton and
totally blind. He was we'll cared for,
and has now quite recovered his health
and sight. He had had no food and no
water and had not gnawed the books
or obtained sustenance from any source
whatever.
