Diving for Pharaoh's Chariot Wheels.
TSt. James Gazette


Now that so many persons are engaged in
making what they can out of Egypt 1t is
interesting to find one dlsinterested person
proposing a speculation OF which the object
is not to put money in the pockets of the
promoter, but to implant or to confirm
faith in the bri asts of all men. The
Able Moligno has written a preface to
M. Lecointre's Champagne de Noise pour
la sortie d'Egypte." in which he adyo-
Gates the promotion of joint stock
company, with the view of exploring
the bottom of the Red Sea, and especially
the bitter-water lakes. In a German account
of the project il is justly described as lone
of the Doldest." 1T is nothing less" con-
tinued the writer, ethan to search the bot
tom of the Red Sea 10 discover there the
proof of that great event narrated By Moses
5000 years ago. To provide the needfnl
funds to carry on excavations which would
have for their result the restoration TO light
of the remains of the Egyptian armies en-
quilted in the Red Sea, with the charlots,
horses arms treasures, archives and perhaps
the King himself-that Pharaoh who
was conquered by Moses-this will
indeed be noble enterprise. Buried In the
masses of salt of the Bitter Lakes concealed
at different places by thick beds of salt,
these historical remains are perhaps in a
state of preservation unexpected by US. y
The Able estimates the cost Of the excava-
tons at 800 600 francs, and against expend
lures he places nothing in the way of pos
BILE returns. 1t may be suggested withot
irreverence, however that il the abb
Moigno should succeed in disinterring bt
one indubitable wheel of Pharaohs charit

India. II is one OF the most perfect bird
houses know Of, and seems only 10 need q
Fireplace TO make it cal house. Il is en-
tered through the long neck at the lower
end. The bed for the eggs rests in the bulb
or expansion at the middle of
tho neat, where there are actually two
rooms, for the male has perch divided cff
from the female by little partition, where
he may sit snd sing 10 her in rainy weather,
or when the sun shines very hot, and where
he may rest at night. The walls are firm
lsttice work of grsFs, neatly woven together,
which permits the air to pass through, but
does not allow the birds TO be seen. The
whole nest Is from fourteen to eighteen
inches long, and six inches wide at the
thickest part. It is hung low over the
water-wby, we shall presently see-end
its only entrsnce is through the hanging
neck.
In the country where the baya sparrow
lives, there are snakes and opossums, and all
the rest Of the gg.esters; and in addition
there are troops Of monkeys, which are
more to be feared than sll the rest together.
Monkeys are wonderfully expert climbers,
from whom the eggs, in an ordinary open
top pouch meet, like the ORIOLES would not
be secure; for if they can get anywhere near
they will reach their long, slender fingers
down in ide the nest. The bays spar row dis
covered this, and learned to build nest in
closed en- all sides. and TO enter it from IN
derneath by 3 neck too long for q monkey
to conveniently reach up through. Beside
this she took the precsution to hang it cut
on the very tips of light branches. upon
which she thought no robber would dare
trust himself. Bot she found that the mon
keys "knew trick worth two o. that"
They would go TO higher limb which was
strong. and one would let himself down
from it. graspirg it firmly with his hands;
then another monkey would crawl down
and hold on to the heels of the first one, an.
other would go below him, and so on until
several were hanging to each other, and the
lowest one could reach the spsrrow's treas
ures. He would est them all himself, and
then one by one they would climb up over
each other; and last of all the tired first one
who had been holding up the weight of sll
the rest, would get up, too, and all would
go noisily off in search of fresh plumber,
which, 1 suppose, would be given TO q diff.
fereHt one, the rest making a ladder for
him.
Now the cunning bsys sparrow cav 8
way to avoid even this dangerous trickery.
She knew that there was nothing monkey
hated so terribly as to get his sieek coat
wet He would rather go hungry So she
hung her nest over the water close to tie
surface. and the agile thieves do not dare
make a chain long enough to enable the
last one to reach up into her nest from be-
low, as he must do for fear that the springy
branches might bend so far as to souse them
into the wstsr. Tho sparrow has fairly out
witted the monkey.
