Indian Sword Feats.

The favorite sword for performing
feats in India is the gauntlet-handled
pata. The %swordsmap will first show
the keenness of his weapon and his
command of its weight by cutting in
two a leaf laid fiat ON the outstretched
palm Of a friend, or by cutting a cloth
hanging loose in the air. He will put
one sword on each hand. and SO armed,
springlng from his feet on the bare
ground, will throw somersaults back
ward and forward, following each
movement with a w~ondrously compli-
Gated and simultaneous gyration of
both swords round his head and body.
He Will have the naked sword, more
than five feet long, double edged, sharp
pointed, and keen as a razor, dashed
from the back of his neck down his
back, and will again, from his naked
feet, repeat the somersaults. Again,
with sword and shield in his hands, he
will leap headforemost through the
stretched outloop of a rope, held by two
men at the height of their heads, as a
circus rider leaps through a paper hoop
and light safely on his feet. Small
wonder if the gaping crowd Of specta-
tors applaud vociferously; that the car
pet Of the plucky athlete is soon COW
cred with a harvest of small change,
and that the recurring festivals, with
these profitable opportunities, prevent
the knowledge Of the old sword play
from dying out.

Discoveries About the Sphinx.

sand from around the sphinx. The
sphinx occupies a position where the
encroachment of the desert is most
conspicuous. AT the present day moth.
ing is to be seen Of the animal except
It's head and its neck; but the old
Egyptian monuments on which it is
figured show not only the entire body
down to the paws, but also a large
square plinth beneath, covered with
ornaments. Since the time of the
Greeks, perhaps ever since the reign
of Thothmes w, this plinth has dis.
appeared beneath the sand, and iti
very existence had been forgotten.
1t is generally supposed that the
sphinx is hewn out of a large lso-
lated rock, which overlooked the
plain. But M. Maspero's researches
suggest that it is a work yet more
stupendous. He has proved that the
sphinx occupies the center of an am
phitheater, forming a kind of a rocky
basin, the upper rim Of which is
about on a level with the head OF the
animal. The walls of this amphithe.
alter, whenever visible, are cut by the
hand of man. 1t seems probable,
therefore, that in the beginning there
was a uniform surface of rocks, in
which an artificial valley had been
e~xcavated, so as to leave in the mid
die a block out of which the sphinx
was finally heNn. The excavations
now being carried on will doubtless
verify the existence of the pllnth
shown on the old paintings, aud also
furnish evidence, by the ornamental.
ton of the plinth, of the true age of
the monument. M. Maspero is in
clined to assign it to a very great
antiquity-possibly higher than in the
early dynasties. i. e., than the first PEI
Rod of Egyptian history. As the re-
suit of last winters work, the sand
round the sphinx has already been
lowered by about thirty meters.

But the letter G and the writer

But still we strive and we conquer
We steadfast are and brave
And that one single letter stands,

SPIRES.
The Influence of Race and History
on Sacred Architecture.

The tall spire, conveying to the mind
the idea of Unreasonable height, and
seeming to fade away in a point, is,
perhaps, the most perfectly beautiful
external feature of the pointed or Chris
tian styles of architecture to which ii
properly belongs. In all ages and coun.
tries there has been an apparent tend.
ency to carry buildings to as great a
height as possible, and hence have orig.
mated the various architectural forms
of pyramids and obelisks, towers in end
less variety, domes of various shapes

mInarets of the east and tall monu-
mental pillars; but the spire, obvious
as its form seems in its pure sim.
plIcity, vas unknown in architecture
until toward the end Of the eleventh
century. There have been many dis
cussions, somewhat Improbable,
though interesting, as to the source
whence the medieval builders drew
their first ideas of the pointed arch and
spire, and general opinion has appar-
emily settled to the conclusion that the
pointed arch was simultaneously sug-
gested to the various nations of Europe
by the sight of the Saracenic arch dur
ing the crusades. If this were really
so, it must be added that the Christian
builders improved so vastly upon any
hints they may have received from the
east That all traces of such origin rap
idly disappeared. The splre. however,
is a purely self-evolved feature, which
originated in the general tendency OF
pointed architecture, completely indie.
pendent Of external hints or examples.
Among other suggestions it has beer
said that the form of the spire might
have been suggested by the pyramids OIL
obelisks of Egypt; but there are sc
many points of dissimilarity between
these objects and the true spire that il
is extremely unlikely.
