Two statues OF Buddha Bigger than
BarthOldi's.
tLondon Daily News.l


The statue of Liberty, just inaugurated
at New York, is described as towering to
the skies above all known statues of the
present and the past, !" and as the 'Great
Eastern of statues" A much higher
statue exists, and has long existed, in
Afghanistan. The little knowledge that
has been obtained Of this statue, or stat
ues-for there are more than one--has
been hitherto confined generally to few
Indian archeologists, but we are now In
debted to the Afghan Boundary Com
mission, and more particularly to Cap.
tain Nj. G. Talbot, r. f., of the Survey
Department, and Captain Maitland, Of
the Political Department, for more com.
plete information.
These statues are on the principal road
between Kabul and Bakh, at a locality
known as Bamian. 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 excavated numerous
caves, as monssteries for themselves, in
the rock of these valleys. These ancient
excavations still exist, and can be count
ed by thousands.
In addition to these, number OF
statues of Buddha were cut out of the
solid rock. Two, at least, are still stand.
ing, and the largest was measured by
Capt. Talbot with the theodoite; so that
we now know the height to at least a few
inches. The measurement gave it as l73
feet high; that is rather more by few
inches than the Nelson Column in Ira
falgar square, and nearly 70 feet higher
than the New York figure. This figure
of Buddha is the real "Great Eastern" of
statues. The celebrated Memnon statues
of Egypt would only come up to the knee
OF this mighty ikon At Bamian there is
another figure OF Buddha. 100 feet high.
These are erect standing figures; there is
also sitting figure 30 feet high.
There are the remains of two other
figures, but they are in ruinous condi-
tion-one OF them is estimated to have
been about so or 60 feet. These statues
were originally, we know, either gilt or
covered with metal. The Chinese Pill
grim, Hiouen Thsang, passed the spot in
the first half Of the seventh century, A.
d.. and from him we have description
of at least the two largest figures as they
existed at that date. The statues have
of course suffered from time. Armies
have often passed by the road. Gehghiz
Khan and Timur-lung's hosts did so, but
they had only bows and arrows to throw
at the idols. In later times Mohamme.
dan soldiers have passed with artillery.
and in their hatred of "Bhuts" or idols
they fred 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 well
as the art style to which they belong, is
still faithfully preserved.

IL Sity '" mere Laoorcrs Own Their Homes.
Moral and Social Influence.
Philadelphia, as the greatest workshop of
America, furnishes striking illustration in
point Its comparative exemption from
strikes is due to the fact that, as a rule, the
workingInan there owns his homo. Hence
he Is as conservative es the capitalist. You
may find scores Of squares with nice bricl,
houses Of workiEgrnen, not one of which is
a tenement house Philadelphia now has
double the number of dwelling houses of any
other city of its size in the world.
This ISarvelous increase in its hornesteads
IS due to its cooperative building associations
numbering over 200. They have been tried
for nearly fifty years, and have proved such
valuable forces in promoting industry, econ
omy, sobriety, thrift and prosperity that the
state encourages them by exemptinS all their
stock and mortgages from taxation Ihough
the holdings of these associations exceed S1V,-
600, 900. they are managed by worklngnen at
little expense. and are always open to public
.. scrutiuv Failures have been very rare, less
than in any other class Of financial associa-
tons. The worst Of those closed during the
panic OF 1878 paid ninety-three cents On the
dollar. These associations, so unique, tried so
long and 50 successfully, are q model for the
workingmen Of the country, certainly in large
manufacturing ceIters.
That l may speak authoritatively, will
epitomize certain statements kindly furnished
by an eminent Philadelphia, especially con-
versant with this subject, who says: THE
tenement house is unknown here. In the
riots Of 1877 the 10000 members Of building
associations acted as an efficient counterpoise
to the lawless throngs that crowded the
streets. This instinct Of salf-prescryation, Of
social order, was as strong with them as with
the weather. classes, and was even more eff
fectual. II neutralized, in their own camp,
the clamoTs Of vicious and riCtoUs rabble,
so that the presence Of the mayor and the
police was sufficient to quell all disorder with
out collision. These associations have been q
potent factor in making Our people prosper
Gus and moral, encouraging sobr!ety and pre-
venting dissipation. The absence Of any so
cialistic tendencies can undoubtedly be traced
to the general ownership OF homes. Age of
