DISCOVERIES ABoUT THE sPHI K.
IAN undertaking has been begun
which ought 70 yield results Of
special interest. This 3 TIE removal
OF TIE sand from round ghe Sphinx.
The Sphinx occupies 3 position where
the encroachment OF the desert IL
most conspicuous. At the present
day nothing is 20 b. seen Of aha All.
NAL except us head and Its neck; but
The old Egyptian monuments on
which Il Is figured show not only the
entire body down 70 the paws, but
also also large square plinth be-
DeaIh, covered with ornaments.
Since the time OF the Greeks, per.
haps even since the reign Of Tho
themes Nv. this plinth has disappear.
ed beneath the sand and lie very ex-
lstence has been forgotten. Il Il
generally supposed that the Sphinx u
hewn out Of 3 large isolated rosk
which overlooked the plain; but d.
Masperoe researches suggest that L.
u 3 work yet mora stupendous. he
has proved that the Sphinx occupies
the center Of a. ampthestsr, forming
9 kind OF rocky basin, the upper rim
OF which Is about on q level with the
head Ct the animal. The walls Of
this ampitheater. whenever visible.
are cut b. the hand Of man. Itseems
probable, therefore, that IN the be-
ginning there was q uniform surface
OF rock, IN which an artificial valley
has been excayated, so a. to leave in
the middle block out Of which the
Sphinx was finally hewn. The ex.
cavations now being carried on will
doubtless verify the existence Of the
plinth shown on the cid paintings,
and also furnish evidence, By the or.
namentation Of the plinth, Of the
true age Of the monument. n. Mas
pero Is inclined 70 assign il to very
great antiquity possibly higher than
the early dynaslies-L e., than the
frat period Of Egyptian history. As
the result Of last winters work, the
sand round the Sphinx has already
been lowered BY about thirty meters.

ASPHALT PAVING.
A Surprise in the shape of Bids for
This Sort of Work.


To those who were interested in the re-
cent discussions over the paving of Summit
avenue with asphalt the following from the
St Joseph Herald may be interesting. One
of the bidders mentioned below was a bid
der for the Summit avenue job. 1t will be
noticed that there is a considerable range
in the bids for essentially the same work.
The ST. Joseph Herald of the 18th inst.
says;
Yesterday at noon the comptroller and city
engineer opened the bids for putting asphalt
on Francis street, from Main to Ninth street,
and Sioux Falls granite on the same street.
from Main west to the river. All well re-
member the circumstances attending the
awarding of the first contract-thaJ for paw
ing Felix street. Up to day or two before
the opening of the bids the Barber Asphalt
company was the only one known to the gen.
eral public, and it was not supposed they
would have any opposition. They had
asphalted Omaha, and done it WELL and come
in the Union. Public feeling was in their
favor, and none thought but that they would
get the contract.
On the day the bids were to be opened, how
ever, a competing company appeared in the
field in the persons of the Harmons, of Louis
vile, KY. They put in bid for the work,
and when the bids were opened it was found,
to the surprise Of all, that the Harmons pro-
posed to do the work for a little over half
what the Barber bid was.
The contract was promptly given to Har-
mon & Co., aud the Barriers fell notch in
the public esteem, the idea prevailing that
theT were trying to nuke too much money off
tleoty.
l.e second bid came-for Third street.

THEY WANT 1T VETOED.
Fifty Angry Citizens Object TO the
Vacating OF Greenbrier Avenue.

Vacating OF Greenbrier Avenue.
There were forty anxious Fifth ward cit
liens assembled III Mayor Rice's Office at IL
O'Clock yesterday morning to protest against
the resolution presented at the last meeting
of the city council, to the effect that Green
brier avenue be vacated between Margaret
and Minnehaha streets. The mayor had set
this hour for hearing the arguments pro
and con before deciding on what action to
take regarding the resolution.
Hon. c. ID. O'Brien appeared for the petit
tioning parties and j. ID. O'Brien for the
protesting faction. The citizens entered
their protest which was recorded by the
MAYOR. after which the attorneys
made their arguments. The cOunSee
for the protesting parties claimed that TIL
resolution should be vetoed, as the action
Of the council in the matter was illegal.
This was virtually the only point that he
made, but the citizens strengthened their
case by arguing that the resolution should
be vetoed inasmuch as Greenbrier was the
only thOrOughfare from Margaret to Sew
enth streets. that the property holders had
paid an assessment for laying sewers along
the avenue and that if the street was yaca
ted it would inJure the property OF large
UumDGI VI AOA tlAO bOAO11e
of Mr.. Hamm.
G. P. Folsom was present and stated that
Greenbrier avenue was the only street rum
ming north through which water supply
mains could be laid to the highlands north
of the railroads. He argued that if
the avenue was closed it would
put the water board company
to an extra expense of about $50, 900 to lay
pipes, as they would be obliged to reach
the highlands by a circuitous route. City
Engineer Rundlett stated that the avenue
could be graded at a grade of little less
than FIVE feet in hundred. G. D. O'Brien,
on behalf of Mr.. Hamm, said that the
street could never be graded so as to be
made passable, and refuted the statement
of the opposing attorney that the act of the
council was illegal. and claimed that Mr..
Hamm had right to ask that the ave-
nue. be vacated, and if the citizens objected
they could find recourse in the courts. He
stated that probably the street would never
be graded and it might as well be vacated
as to lie open in its present dangerous con-
dftion-
The mayor listened to the arguments and
the chances were thought to be about equal
for and against his vetong the resolution.

Barber bid again, but Harmon was below him
and awarded this contract.
When the two bids were opened at noon
yesterday, il was seen, to the surprise or
everybody, that the BARRIERS had bid to do the
work for less than half of the Harmon bid,
Harmon wanting S2.63 per square yard for
the asphalt, and Barber $l.25. This surprise
was as great as the first one had been, and the
engineer and comptroller lost no time in Civ
Ing the work to the BARRIERS, who had asked
So per yard for their first bid, and had now
dropped to less than one-half.
The following is synopsis of the two bids
for Francis street, opened yesterday.
