A Minnesota Sky Scrapor,

It is announced from Minneapolis that q
hotel is to be built in that town which is to
4ave the dining room in the tenth story, the
kitchen in the eleventh, and She laundry and
servants quarters in the twelfth. There is
such abundance Of room in Minnesota that it
is surprising that anybody there should want
to run building up to such height. If the

THE GREAT sPHYNx OF GHlzER

The Most Astonishing Work Which Past
Ages Have Bequeathed Us.
N. Renan publishes ali earnest appeal
on behalf of the excavations undertaken
in Egypt by N. Maspero. The special OBJ
ject for which funds are just needed
is to clear away the sand which half
buries the great Sphinx of Ghizeh. NJ.
Renan says: ......
sThe clearing of the great Sphinx was
begun two months ago. Up to the pres
emit time the ordinary resources OF the
Boulak museum have suficed for the
work, which might be completed in sixty
days if money did not fail. About co.
900 francs only are wanted. The ap-
peal for the Longson excavations, which
were address d two years ago to the IN
tellectual public was so fruitful that we
are encouraged once more to ask the true
connoisseurs in ancient things to con-
tribute to one of the works, the most I'M
periously demanded by the present con-
dition of Egyptology.
aThe great sphinx of Ghizeh, at two
steps from the pyramids, is, in my
opinion. the most astonishing work OF
the hand of man which past ages have
beaueathed to us. 1t is an immense bed
of caaved rock, about seventy metres in
length. The hight ofthe monstrous edl-
flee, if it We're cleared, would exceed
that of the highest houses. No fashion
able monument, either in the rest OF
Europe or the rest of the world, can be
compared to this strange idol, the vestige
of stage Of humanity which battles all
our ideas. The impression which such
spectacle must have produced on imagl-
native races, and who were dominated
by the senses, may be understood from
that experienced by the Egyptians OF the
present day when standing before
that enormous head, emerging from the
sand, and casting across the desert its
sad look. The Arab at this sight flies
terrified, either throwing a stone or fir
ing gun at the strange being.
4The temple opposite the sphinx, if it
is temple, has also a character Of its
own. This fantastic construction resent
bles less the other temples of Egypt than
the Pantheon resembles Notre Dame.
But all this ensemble, which is unique in
the world, must be Of the remotest an
tiquity is indisputable, since the statnes
found there are those of king Chepren,
thus taking US back to ages which,
everywhere but in Egypt would be called
fabulous.
Mr.. Renan, in concluding his appeal,
points out that to lay bare the Sphinx
will be to restore to the light of day the
most ancient work which bears the trace
of human thought, and he anticipates
that athe descent which it will afford
into a world now more than 5000 years
old will push still further back the linn
its of a historic past that seems to ny
with each step taken to reach t.

A Curious characteristic of Type.

Speaking of types, 1 was shown some
French and German letters at one of the
foundries that have the curious charac-
teristic of being higher than the type in
use with us and the English. The

however, are uniform in height with
