commanded the slaughter of all the
male babes of the daughters of Israel,
WHO sought to Stay Moses, and from
whose wrath the future law-giver

too, is the victor of Kadesh, the hero
of the famous epic poem of Pentaur,
likened by some to an Egyptian
Iliad; and this is the builder OF the
Ramesseum, Of the Pylons, and Hall
Columns of the Temple of Luxor,
and of a score of minor temples in
Egypt and Nubia, and the maker of
the marvellous rock-cut temples of
Aboo-Simbel. Finally, in this num-

Rameses II was over six feet in
height, and We see by the breadth of
his chest and the squareness of his

SLEEP, BABY, SLEEP!

SLEEP, BABY, SLEEP!
BY FRANK H. STAUFFER.
The stars are unwilling,
The round moon is sailing
High up in the blue Of the sky,
The crickets are drOnfng
The sea bar is moaning,
And the bats with whIrr go by.
Sleep, baby, leep! Dream on little dear!
Nothing can harm you while mamma is
A dozen sweet kisses,
The kindest Of wishes,
lingering wistfully near;
A yearning unbroken,
A prayer unspoken-
There's much In the future to fear.
Sleep, baby sleep! Dream on little dear!
Nothing can harm you while mamma is
near.
In heaven there rest Is,
And God knowns what best is,
Then why should worry or fear:
I'll give you 10y treasure,
A love without measure,
And leave you with Him, little dear!
Sleep, baby, sleep! Dream on. little dear!
Nothing can harm 70 u while mammals

THE WAY 1T Is SAID.

The Sultan awoke with astlffied scream
His nerves were shocked by fearful dream:
An omen of terrible import AID doubt
His teeth all in one moment fell out.
His wise men assembled at break of day,
And stood at the throne in solemn array;
And when the terrible dream was told,
Each felt a shuder-his blood ran cold.
And all stood SILENT in fear and dread,
And wondering what was best to be said.
At length a soolhersayer, wiinkl led and gray,
Cried Pardon, my lord, what have to say:
otis an omen of sorrow sent from on high
Thou shalt see all thy kindred die"
Wroth was the Sultan he gnashed his teeth
And his very words seemed to hiss and
seethe,
AS he ordered the wis eman bound with
chains
And gave him hundred stripes for his
pains,
The wisemen shook as the Seltan's eye
Swept round to see who next would try;
But one ofthem stepping before the throne,
Exclaimed in loud and joyous tone;
"Exult, O heir of a happy state!
Rejoice. U heir ola glorious fate!
For this is the favor thou shalt win,
o, Sultan to outlive all thy KIM"
Pleased was the Sultan and called slave
And hundred crowns TO the wise man gave,
But the courtiers nod, with grave, sly
winkS.
Aud each one whispered what each one
thinks.
"Well can the Sultan reward and blame:
Didn't both the wisemen foretell the sam en-
Quoth the crafty old Vizer, shaking his
head,
80 much may depend on tie way things
said!"

The New United States Navy

Secretary Whitney has called on American
shipbuildcrS fo- plans for the two great
almored vessels, of the RiacEuclo OF Admiral
NachimoT type, and has invited bids for fur
nishing nearly G,O1O tons Of steel forgings for
guns and heavy Grmor plates.
The most striking evidence Of the purposes
of the department to make great advance
with all practicable speed, iii the offensive
and defensive strength of the navy, is tlia
call upon tho steel manufacturers. Tho
heaviest steel gun yet constructed for the
navy is an %-incii gun, an;l Cnly q few months
ago its completion and satisfactory test were
made the subject of cOnGratulati0I. Now,
we iinGl that ont Of 1910 tons of steel foIgings
asked for, 10 fewer than 9l2 2tons arc INTENDED
for lOinch AMI l2-iIch calbclS The manu-
facturc of q modern high-powcrcd, lreccl-
loading, all-Stccl glin OF this latter caliber in
the United States will be Il memorable event.
In the armor plates required there is the
same evidence tilat great stride forward is
to bc taken. They include plates twelve
inches and seventeen inches thick; This is
nrmor of the kind us2il III the powerful modern
vessels of the nations most forward in naval
construction. The 1tiachuolo. which was con-
ton of almor, armament, and speed il Il YES
sci of G,OG1 tons, has allnor plates ten and
eleven inches thick, carries 9-inch blecch-
loading rifles, and Steanls fifteen knots. The
armorcd cruiser and armorcd battle ship of
the same displacement, for which designs are
now invited by Secretary Whitney, are cvi-
IDENTIFY expected to have armor twelve inches
thick, and to carry lO-inch, steel brecch-load-
e1s, while their speed must be ut least sixteen
knots.
1t is quite evident, also, that the five un-
armorcd vessels now to be built will he much
better in many respects than if they had Lccn
hurricdly contracted for year ago. One of
them is expressly to duplicate Japan's wonder,
the Nanwa-kall, while another Is intended
to equal the fast Spanish cruiser now under
construction by j. & &. Thompson, of Clyde
bank, England.

COMPLICATED PATTERN.

If tho plato is touched at the center Of one
of its sides with the finger, and the bowling is
executed on any side at n point as near the
corner as possible, another cross will be pro-
duced, whose arms will run to the center Of
the sides, instead of the corners. To execute
the experiments different nodes must be es-
tabished by touching different points with
one or more fingers and bowing in different
places. Heavy plate glass, ten inches on a
side, may be thrown into vibration with
ease, showing how wonderfully efficient q
contrivance a violin bow is.
If the plato is strcwn with q mixture of
sand and ly'copodium, and is sounded, a sep
aration, more or less perfect, of the two
takes place, the sand going to the nodes and
the lycopodum into curves or vcntcrs.
For complicated forms metal plate should
be used i'll preference to glass. A piece of
sheet brass, of the size given for glass, ALL
swcrs oil requirements. In Fig ? Il reprcscn-
tation Of a figure produced on such u plate,
with sand and lycopotium mixed, is shown.
The plate should Ec from onc-sxteenth to one
eighth of all inch thick, and secured to its
standard by screw through the center. The
vibrations in such plate last for a few sec
onds after the bow is removed, keeping III
sand dancing most curiously, while the lrco-
podium will form little clouds Of dust when
the vibration is powerful.

THE WORLDS PROGRESS.
SINGULAR AND BEAUTIFUL FIGURES
MODELLED BY SOUND.

Wants Facts From all Sources on tho
Earthquake-Future of the Canadian
Pacific Railway-New Armored Ships.
A beautiful experiment showing how sound
may be converted into motion is described by
Mr.. O'Conor Sloane in The Scientific Ameri-
can. The experiment shows literally draw
ingS made by sound. In the illustration, tho
star is formed by simply drawing well res
ined violin bow across the edge of q square
of glass that has some grains Of dry sand
upon it Anybody can do it for himself. Mr.
Sloane says: A square, six or eight inches on
side, is cut from any piece of window glass
The sides are smoothed off with q file, a
coarse milestone, or Oh grindstone. littlo
dry sand, a spool, and a violoncello bow, with
resin, is all that is required for work The
glass plate is placed upon the end of the up
right spool, and little sand is busted over It,
The thumb of the left hand is pressed down
upon the plate, and the bow, held vertically,
is drawn down against the edge Of tho plate
in the middle Of ono side. After one or two
trials, the note will be found, and the sand
will begin to dance about. After a few
seconds, it will collect upon tho nodes.

The Opnl Craze.

During the past few days have been seen
q number of brilliant Hungarian opals
mounted to order for ladies well known III
New York society. Some of these were set
in rings. A single opal, showing vivid and
various colors and surrounded by diamonds,
is recalled as one Of the most beautiful finger
rings seen this season. An unusually large
opal, exhibiting bright fiery flame of colols,
was seen in pendant made toreprescnt a
butterfly, the opal forming the body of the
moth, the wings being glittering profusion
of limpid diamonds. III addition to these
opals mounted by special order, are specimens
st in rings, brooches and bracelets, and in
stock by all leading houses. Dealers in fine
gems have imported iinc opals III larger num-
bcrs than before in many years. and these are
being mounted in attractive designs for the

Dest Way Of Drying Fruit.

The cheapest and lest way of drying fruit,
says an exchange, is to lay it on lengths of
cheese cloth, suspended i'll frame out of
doors, in full sun, with white mosquito net
ting over to keep off sEreds and insects. This
allows the air to reach both sides of the fruit
ut once, and when you want to turn it tho
whole can be swung over on another cloth,
leaving the first ready for a new batch.
Apples should I've pared, cored and cut in
eight pieces Peaches should not he pared,

whipping with coarse towels. Common
peaches only need to Ire cut i'll halves to dry
We had p, aches dried in this way last winter,
which. when cooked. would he hard to tell
