ikon. AT Bamian there is another figure Of
Buddha 120 feet high These are erect, stand
ing figures; there is also a sitting figure about
thirty feet high. There are the remains of two
other figures, but they are in a ruinous condition
--ene of them is estimated to have been about
fifty or sixty feet These statues were originally,
we know. either gilt or covered with metal.
The Chinese pilgrim. Hiouen Thsang, passed
the spot in the first half of the seventh century.
A. D., and from him we have description of
the two largest figures they existed at that
date. The statues have, of course, suffered
from time Armies have often passed by the
road. Genghiz Kahn and Timur Lungs hosts
did so, but they had only bows and arrows to
throw at the idols. In later times Moham-
medan soldiers have passed with artillery, and
in their hatred of "Bhuts." or idols they fired
solid shot. The idols have, thanks to their great
size, stood this treatment very fairly. and, in
spite of it. the true character of the figures as
we'll as the art style TO which they belong, is
still faithfully preserved

Higher than the Liberty Statue.

Letter to London Daily News.
In this mornings Daily News the statue of
Liberty just inaugurated at New York is de-
scribed as towering ITO the skies above all
known statues of the present and the past" and
as ''the Great Eastern of statues" The writer
may be excused for not knowing that much
higher statue exists, and has long existed in
Afghanistan. These statues are on the
principal road between Cabul and Balkh. at a
locality known as Baman. At that place the
road passes through valleys, with high scarped
cliffs OF conglomerate. Probably about the early
centuries of the Christian era the Buddhists ex-
cavated numerous caves, as monasteries for
themselves, in the rock of these valleys. These
ancient excavations still exist, and can be
counted by thousands In addition to these. a
number of statues of Buddha were cut out of the
solid rock. Two. at least, are still standing,
and the largest was measured by Captain Talbot
with the theodolite that we now know the
height to at least few inches. The measure
ment gave it as 173 feet high. That is rather
more by few inches than the Nelson column in

A Story of Bishop Simpson.

KARLSRUHE IelegTapH
l heard n story of the late Bishop Simpson
that is worth recording. The good man-and he
was good man if ever lived on this bad
old earth-was slightly absent-minded, and ne
had habit while preaching of twirling his
handkerchief as if to collect his thoughts. One
day he was preaching sermon to a very large
audience, and in the front pew sat his wife and
daughter. In the course of his sermon the
Bishop took out his handkerchief and absent
mindedly unfolded It, never looking at It. The
handkerchief had evidently been through the
hands of vigorous Chinese laundryman, for it
was a thing of shreds and tatters, and as the
good dominic held it up in full view of the con-
eregation he created sensation among his hear
ers aud a thrill Of horror in his good wife. who
viewed the action and saw the handkerchief that
was more holey than righteous. By and by the
Bishop glanced at the handkerchief his face
flushed, and he carefully concealed it, He af-
forwards said ne couldn't for the life of him un-
derstand what caused a smile to fit across the
face OF his audience while his wife and daughter
were veritable pictures Of despair.

there had been no heat in the building since Sat

saused the fire. Korris was an old German citl-
zen, and had been Waterman at the different
factories here for years. Sixty-five hands are
thrown out of employment The fire is seri-
