An Ancient Work of Art.

The IcaGcHg states that an INTEREST
ing discovery has Just been made in part
of the monastic building Of Westminster
abbey The large npncr nall in the
western range, once occupied by the cell
larcr, is now divided mp into rooms for
a canou's residence. In the course OF
some repairs now going on, the canvas
lining in one of these rooms was stripped
Off underneath, fine oak paueling .
JacObean IN date--was discovered, and
under the pauclng the wall was found
to be- covered with well-designcd
painting of The time of Henry VIII.
This painting is in black and white, done
in ttmpcrd on plaster; the design. which
is drawn with great boldnesS and free
dom of execution, is strongly IIolbeines-
que in character There is an oval
shield charged with France and Eng
land quarterly, with the lion and dragon
supporters: at the sides, human figures
growing out OF flowing arabcsquc scroll
work. which covers the wall i'm large
sweeping curves. The design is white.
with black outlines and shading on a
black ground. The discovery is an in
tercsting one, rs English wall-paintings
of this date are very rare The preserve
ton Of these examples is due TO the fact
that oak paneling was fixed over them
before they had time to suffer from age
or exposure. IT seems probable that
this decoration was executed soon after
the suppression Of the abbey and the
seizure Of the monastic buildings bv the
crown; hence. possibly, introduction of
the royal arms in SO conspicuous way.
The part of this painting which comes
on the outside wall seems TO have perish
cd from damp soaking through the plas-
ter. A large part Of the probably we'll
preserved painting on the inner wall still
remain, hidden, as it is only in one of
the subdivisions Of the great hall that
the wall-linings have been stripped Off

A st. Clairsville Missionary from
Egypt.
Ohio State Journal.

Rev. Mr.. Giffen, of st. Clairsville,
who went out under the auspices of the
Board Of Foreign Missions of the Uni
ted Presbyterian Church to Egypt, in
1874, arrived in PniladelphIs on Mon
day by the steamer Illinois, with his
three children and an Egyptian servant.
He left Alexandra on the 2Sd ut., when
everything was quiet. He had no ap
prehension of danger until warned by a
friendly letter from Cairo on the 18th o.
June. advising him to leave the country.
In an hour after receipt of the letter be
was on his wav to Alexandra bv an ex-
press train. His station was at Sioot or
Osioot, the ancient Lycopolis, which is
city OF some $4,000 Inhabitants and is
the capital of province of the same
name. and the residence OF the Govern
or OF Upper Egypt. 1t is near the lei.
bank of the Nile. about $50 miles above
Cairo. American missionaries have es.
tahlished successful schools there, and
it is the residence OF English and Amer
lean consular agents.
Mr.. Giffen says the natives had moi
found out the cause of the disturbance
at the tine he left, while the resident
Christians had no fears except in case
of holy war. Mr.. Giffen reached
Wheeling on Tuesday evening, where

SquariHg the Circle.

James Norton, q Philadelphia mathe-
matican, claims to have solved the prob
leu known as "squaring the circle" "
The solution of this problem CT finding
tue exact. area of circle has occupied
the attention of mathem aticians from
time immemorial. Many claimed to
have performed it, but their demonstrs
lions have always failed to stand the test
The nature Of the problem places it out
side OF The domain of arithmetical cal
culation, but Notwithstanding this ad-
mitted fact, the ratio between diameter
and circumference. has been carried ont
to over 600 decimal places. So, by geo.
metrical methods, Mr. Mort)n thinks he
has accomplished the qladrature OF the
circle. His recently pn5,ishei book con-
tains the result Of his Investigations on
the matter, and much other information
on relative topics. His solution, put in
the form of proposition, is as follows
"The square of the diameter of any cir
Gle is to its area, as the perineter of a
square described on the diameter Of the
circle is 10 its circumference or con
versely, the area OF any circle is to The
sqnare of its diameter, as The circumfer-
ence of the circle is TO the perimeter oil
