The PHOENIX.
what the Ancients believed About the
Fabulous Bird.

The ancient tradition concerning the
Phoenix has introduced into almost all
languages the custom Of applying that
name to whatever is singular or un'
common among its kind. Arabia is
said 10 have been the home of this
fabulous bird.
According To Herodotus and other
ancient wri tiers, the Phoenix was bird
OF great beauty, and was about the
size of an eagle.
A shining and most beautiful crest
adorned the head; the feathers on the
neck were n bright golden color, while
those on the body were a rich purple;
the tail was white intcrmiNcd with red,
and the eyes sparlSlcd like diamonds.
Only one of these birds could live at a
time. but it lived five or six hundred
wears When that period drew 20 an
end. II built for itself u funeral pile of
wood and aromatic spices; with her
wings il famed the pile into blaze,
and therein consumed itself.
From its ashes worm was produced,
ont Of which another Phoenix was
formed, having all the freshness of
youth. The first care of the new Phu-
nix was to solemnise It's parents obse-
quies. For that purpose it made ball
in the shape OF an egg. out of myrrh,
franltincense and other fragrant things.
At Heliopolis, II city of lower Egypt,
there was u magnificent temple, dedi.
Gated To the sun. After making the
egg-shaped ball as heavy as it could
possibly carry. the Phnnix then took
the ball on its shoulders, and, flying 20
the temple at lIeliopolis, burnt it on the
altar OF the sun.
The priests then inspected the regis.
ter, and found that exactly five hun.
dred years, or exactly six hundred years
had elapsed since the same ceremony
had last taken place, The Phmnix is
always represented as rising from the
midst OF Ilames. Wide Awake.

points in the entire island where from the
highways your eyes can rest upon anything
but rock. The road before you, the walls
beside you, the house walls and roofs wher-
ever discernable are all of stone. There are

years the earth has been disemboweed for

one looks il Is as though a surging sea had
suddenly been transformed by miracle OF
petrilaction into ridges and dikes Of pale
saffroDy stone. The glare of q midsummer
sun upon such landscape or rockscape
must be binding indeed.
This has all came about in the terracing
and dking of the uneven surface of the
island, through the Infinite patience and
labor OF the Maltese peasaniry since The
Knights with the monks OF their time taught
them how ''oil might be made 10 flow from

almost plaintive Arab chants, which they
