surprise at the available knowledge
contained in these handy and even

handy volumes are so much more
convenient for consultation than the
big unwieldy octavos or quartos of
rival cyclopedias that one naturally
refers to them much more often, and
is gratifed to find that except in rare
cases the information afforded is full

A Chinese Trick.

To dwarf trees, the Chinese FIRST make
an incision in an orange, about the size
Of half dollar, by which all the pulp is
extracted. The cavity thus obtained is
filed with mixture Of cocoa nut fiber,
waste wool and charcoal dust; the seed
of the tree desired is then sown exactly
in the center Of the cavity with this sim
gllar mixture. The orange, thus pre-
pared Is placed in glass, or any other
recipient. and from time to time water is
poured through the orifce, and then COW
cred lightly with wood ashes. The seed
terminates, and the roots shoot through
the peel Of the orange, the stem coming
up through the incision. These roots are
cut close 10 the surface Of the orange dur
ing their growth. When the tree is three
years old IL can no longer grow, and Is
about ten or twelve inches high, rarely
exceeding these proportions; it has, new
ertheless, all the appearance of an old
tree. Even the roots have ceased to grow.
The orange is then colored and vanished.
and a dwarf tree is produced with the
special recipient in which It has taken
root. The Chinese produce in this man.
ner oak, nut, date and orange dwarf
trees.

Secret Of the sphinx,

An undertaking has been begun which
ought to yield results of special interest.
This is the removal OF sand from round
the sphinx. The sphinx occupies po.
sition where the encroachment OF the.
desert is most conspicuous. AT the
present day nothing is to be seen of the
animal except Its head and neck; but the
old Egyptian monuments on which it is
figured show not only the entire body
down to the paws, but also q large
square plinth beneath, covered with orna-
ments. Since the time of the Greeks,
perhaps, even since the reign OF George
w., this plinth has disappeared beneath
the sand and its very existence had been
forgotten.
II is generally supposed that the sphinx
is hewn out OF a large, isolated rock
which overlooked the pain; but NJ.
Maspero's researches suggest that 1t is
work still more stupendous. He has
proved that the sphinx occupies the CEN
ter of an amphit Hatre, forming kind
ofrocky basin, the upper rim Of which Is
about on q level with the head Of the ami
NAL. The walls of this amphitheatre,
whenever visible, are cut by the hand of
man. It seems probable, therefore, that
in the beginning there was uniform
surface of rock in which an artificial val
ley has Seen excavated, SO as to leave in
the middle a block out Of which the
sphinx was finally hewn. The excaya.
tions now being carried on will doubtless
verify the existence Of the plinth shown
on the old paiatings, and also furnish
evidence, by the ornamentation of the
pliuth, OF the true age Of the monument.
NJ. Maspero is inclined to assign it to Q
very great antiquity-possibly higher
than the early dynasties-that Is, than
the first period Of Egyptian history. As
the result Of last winters work, the sand
round the sphinx has already been
lowered by about thirty meters. s.--London

The Fires We Have 10 Fight.

then take them down TO the cellar. The
first thing you know live coal in the
ashes sets fire to the barrel, and then
you have an awful lot Of smoke that
maybe suffocates somebody.

The eifecti is q revulsion.
Since the fatal days OF 1888 many OF the
