At this stage Of the proceedings we fail

expedition with one or two of those fa-
nous swing bridges which are such q
characteristic feature both OF India and
OF Ceylon. Their construction is very
simple. Two ropes are stretched from

a number of thin planks fastened across
them 50 as to make q kind Of rude foot
way; but the addition Of handrail ON
either side is absolutely necessary tc make

the whole construction is rocking to and

Ninth Dynasty, which would make it
grown about 5000 b. c.. or be- nearly
5000 years old. He planted the seed
early in the spring, and carefully nursed
il. 1t grew rapidly, and at the time OF
cutting measured from SIX and a half to.
seven feet high. The leaves alternate on
the stalk ike common wheat, but tho
product Of the plant is the most singular
part Of it, for. instead Of growing in the
ear Ike modern corn, there is a heavy
cluster of small twiss in place of the
spindle which hangs downward from its
weight, and each twig is thickly studded
with kernels, each Of which is in sepa-
rate husk. From what is threshed o
larger crop will be grown next year, as
