Tradition and history agree in assign

moved by any specially unselfish pur-
pose, but, on the contrary. ready to sac
riiice large sums of money raised by
cruel taxations and the lives of many
thousands of laborers cruelty impressed
for the work. The memory of the des-
pots who built the pyramids was held
in hate and adherence by the Egyp-
tians, for what seemed to later times
most adequate and sufficient reasons.
Men could not, however, but admire
the wonderful masses of masonry thus
raised at the border of the Egyptian
desert, so massive as to resemble the
works of nature, so stable that they re-
main after thousands of years scarce
touched, beneath their surface layers,
by the storms of heaven or by the move
ments of the earth, or by the destructive
work OF man. Even now it may be
questioned whether any amount of labor
which all the rulers of our day could
impre IS for the work would suffice to
destroy these monuments of Egyptian
tyranny without the aid of gunpowder,
dynamite or other methods of sci
entiiic destruction. 1t was never
held, however, even by the most
ignorant Bedouin, that the pyra-
mids contained hidden knowledge of
any sort, still less that they concealed
prophetic intimations. Yet when Mr..
j. Taylor, taking the best measures of
the Great Pyramid known in his time,
found, or seemed to find, in that edifice,
the solution of the (to many) mystical
problem of the s1uaring OF the circle,
birth was given to the doctrine, shortly
to develop into marvellous proportions,
that the builders of the Great Pyramid
concealed within its once goodly casing

there is not discovery effected dur ng
the last thousand years, or which
can by any possibility be effected during
the next thousand years, which may not
be shown by their methods to be en-
1 bodied in the structure of the Great
Pyramid-or of any other pyramid, or
in St. Peters at Rome, or st. Paul's in
London. ANY. number you please may
be found with a little patience in any
one OF these buildings, and every scien-
titic relation may be indicated by num-
Der. Then, among numbers SO found,
many will be repeated in different ways,
and so the apparent evidence from coin
cidence will seemingly be strengthened,
though in reality weakened. because
every such double or feeble coincidence
shows that pure condolences can always
be recognized among anv numbers taken
either at random or from any set how
ever determined. Thus, among the
various distances, dimensions, periods.
etc., within the solar system, or rather
among the numbers representing these,
there are multitudes of condolences
purely accidental, though only the as
tronomer. perhaps, may be able to dis
tinguish those which are accidental from
those which are real.--lhe Gentleman.
