THE COLOSSUS OF RHODES.

Il am only too glad to see you
interested in your studies, and will
speak of the Colossus of Rhodes.
This was a gigantic brass statue
of Apollo, OF the sun-god. Itrest-
ed ON moles on each side of the
beautiful harbor of Rhodes, and
vessels passed between its brazen
legs. 1t was over one hundred
feet in height, and there were
winding stairs by which it was as
cended. The statue held in one
hand a light for the direction of
mariners, and it was completed
$50 years before Christ. 1t was
thrown down, presumably by an
earthquake, and never rebuilt; but
fragments of the statue remained
nine hundred years. At length a
Jewish merchant bought the brass
and loaded 900 camels with it.
"The value OF the brass was esti-
mated at Sl50,00O. At the present
time the harbor of Rhodes is near
ly spoiled, and the island has sew
eral times suffered severely from
earthquakes"

erected between B. G. 43S and 432,
and in A. ID. 361 it continued to
receive the homage of Greece.
Epictetus says that it was consid-
cred a misfortune for any one to
die without having seen this mas
terpiece of Phidias.'
"The Worship of Jupiter was
universal, though his name varied
with the country that sacrificed to
him. You perhaps remember that
when Paul went to Lystra he
found a temple of Jupiter before
that city. Jupiter was generally
represented as seated on throne
holding thunderbolts in one raised
hand, a sceptre in the other, with
an eagle at his feet
TEMPLE OF DIANA AT EPHEsUs.
Irwin, do you remember that
when Paul was at Ephesus, a riot
was created by Demetrius among
the craftsmen?"
Yes, grandpa, he was afraid the
people would believe Paul's words,
and then his trade of making sill
yer shrines would be gone"
"And what did they cry?'
"The mob cried, Great is Diana
of the Ephesiansn "
Yes, the temple Of Diana was
built at the common charge of all
the Asiatic States. 1t was 425
feet broad, and was supported by
127 columns of Parian marble;
each column was sixty feet high,
and each furnished by a different
king. This temple was burned on
the night of Alexand9r's nativity,
and was then rebuilt. Diana was
believed to have fallen down from
heaven, and the public games were
connected with her worship.
Especially was the month of May
sacred to her. and large manu-
factory grew up at Ephesus OF
portable shrines of Diana, which
were sold to strangers and carried
with them on journeys, or set uE
to worship in their houses"
You have now told me about
four of the wonders, grandpa, and
il you are not too tired | would
like to hear about the rest OF
them

The Canal scheme.

One Of the objects in the call for the
Fargo convention is the opening Of water
channel from the Red river. via the Big
Stone and Traverse lakes and Minnesota
river. 70 the Mississippi river. The Wahpe-
ton Times interviews Mr.. Blanding. an en-
gineer thoroughly familiar with the country
and nature Of the work, in regard to
it. Mr.. Blanding says the project has come
up occasionally for the past twenty-five
years. He surveyed that section at an early
day. and prOnouuces il the most impraeti-
cable and impossible thing imaginable"
He insists that the surface of the country
renders the plan not feasible, and il con-
structed, after the lock dams had been
worked few times, connecting the lakes.
there would not be water enough left TO
feat catfish. The lakes are several miles
further apart than generally supposed.
However, Mr.. Blanding has his theory in
the premises. and this is to lock and dam
Red river from navigable point to Wahpe-
ton, making its channel straight. and then
connect the Red river line of transportation
with the improved Minnesota river by the
f. 5. branch Of the Chicago. Milwaukee a.
st. Paul railroad, distance Of some sixty
miles. This might be done TO advantage.
But the idea of connecting the Minnesota
and Red rivers, without diverting the direc-
ton of The latter, would be utterly imprac-
tieable if not impossible, says Mr.. Bland
