THE SEWN WONDERS.

Different authors disagree in de-
scribing the seven popular wonders
of olden times. At present the pyra
mids, the Colossus of Rhodes, the
Temple of Diana, the Mausoleum,
the statue of Jupiter Olympus, the
hanging gardens of Babylon and the
Pharos, or watch tower of Alexandria,
are usually reckoned as the Original
seven wonders" With the single
exception of the pyramids all of the
above have disappeared. One, two
and three thousand years ago, ac-
cording to traditions and authentic
history, some of them were wonders
indeed.
The first Of the wonders, the great
pyramid of Cheops, is situated seven
miles from the banks of the Nile and
twelve miles from Cairo, Egypt. It
was built in the childhood of the hui
man race, long before history began,
yet it stands today monument to
the memory of a wonderful people.
The "great pyramid of Cheops" is
believed to have been built by the
monarch whose name it bears, about
three thousand years b. @. It's
height is $50 feet inches and its
base 764 square feet. Many of the
monster blocks of granite used in
constructing it weigh thousands of
tons. Tradition tells US that 100000
men were employed for period of
thirty years in constructing it.
The Colossus of Rhodes, the sec
ond in the list of ancient wonders,
was a great brazen statue OF Apollo,
which stretched its huge legs across
the harbor of Rhodes, and was so
large that ships in full sail passed
between. 1t was los feet high and
of most exact proportions. The cree
ton of the colossus was begun in the
year 300 3. c., but was not finished
for nearly 200 years. 1t was of brass,
cast In sections, and was overthrown
by an earthquake in the year 224 3.
@. 1t weighed 10000 pounds.
The Temple of Diana is another of
the seven wonders of the world
which has entirely disappeared. It
was magnificent structure, situated
upon the Byzantine at Ephesus, and
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1893-06-24

was constructed at the common cost
OF all Asiatic countries. The lofty
domed roof was supported by 127
monster columns of Parian marble
the tribute to Diana of 127 kings
The facade of the temple occupied
200 feet upon the Byzantine and the
walls stretched back 425 feet, all
glittering with gems and precious
stones.
Fourth in order Of prominence was
the mausoleum-the tomb of Mauso-
lus, the first king of Caris. Accord
ing to Pliny it had a total height of
140 feet. 1t was erected by Artemisia,
the widow of Mausolus, about 353
=. G. 1t consisted of a basement
sixty-fve feet high, on which stood
an Ionic colonnade twenty three and
one half feet high, surmounted by a
pyramid rising in steps to a similar
height, and on the apex of the pyra-
mid colossal group OF Mausolus
and wife In a chariot drawn by four
horses of heroic size. The mausoleum
endured until about the year 1404
A. D., when it was partially destroy
ed by an earthquake, and finally torn
down by the knights of st. John.
The fifth wonder, the Olympian
Zeus, was q statue OF Jupiter Olym-
pus, said to have been sixty feet
high and chiefly composed of ivory
and gold. It Is usually located at
Els, but nothing certain is known of
its location or OF its reputed builder,
Phidias.
II possible, tradition aud history
have told rs less about the sixth
wonder of the world-the hanging
gardens Of Babylon-than they have
of the fifth. Herodotus does not
mention them Pliny only casually
alludes to their existence, and the
scriptural account of the reign of
observation-disclosures ignores the subject
altogether. Popular accounts of the
hanging gardens say that they were
huge baskets of brass and iron, 400
| feet square, swung on mammoth
stone arches, which were erected
near the royal palace at Babylon.
The seventh wonder was a com
bined light house and watch-tower,
situated on the eastern eastern end
Of the Island of Pharos, at AleXan-
dria, Egypt. It's construction was
begun by Ptolemy Softer about the
year 332 5. G. 1t was 400 feet high,
and cost sum equal TO $1,240, 900 of

TIE OREGON.
The Largest Vessel in the Entire
American Navy.

American Navy.
European visitors at Chicago
have been greatly impressed with
the full-sized wooden model of the
line-of-battle ship Oregon, which
floats at the exposition grounds as
part of Uncle Sans exhibit. The
Oregon is at the Union Iron Works,
and the builders are patiently wait
ing for the government to send on
tons and tons of 1S-inch armor
plate. The workmen are ready to
put on the 7-foot belt of super
hardened steel, but the Washington
authorities have only recently given
the order to the Bethlehem Iron
Company Of Pennsylvania, and
eight or twelve months may elapse
before the armor plates will be re-
ceived at the Potrero.
There will be no larger vessel
than the Oregon in the American
navy. Her tonnage IS 1O,25O, horse
power, 5000, and she is to develop
at least a speed of fifteen knots.
This mass of steel will be $50 feet
long, 60 feet beam, and 80 feet
hold.
The armament of the Oregon
will be most formidable, consisting
of four thirteen-inch breech-loading
rifles, eight eight-inch and four six
inch rifles, and twenty 6-pounders,
besides a host of rapid-fire guns on
all parts of the ship.
The hull will be ready in two
months, and, if necessary, it could
be finished in four weeks. The en-
gines and boilers are completed
and are ready to be set in place.
While waiting for armor-plates the
workmen will busy themselves with
the minor details of construction.
The cruiser Olympia, known in
official circles as "Cruiser No. g."
will be ready for steam in about
six weeks. She is afoat and her
internal machinery is all in place.
She is vessel of $500 tons, 13, 500
horsepower, having twin-screws
and triple expansion engines, and
must show a speed of 20 knots.
The Olympia is larger than the San
Francisco and will be one of the
most beautiful models in the navy.

it gets slightly warmed. l started the

Much heat will not be needed, and even

the connecting pipes.
For hardening off tomato-plants,
however, l would prefer ordinary cold

it possible to use frame in either

his fare that the woods therea bout

the traveller asked if it contained fish.
Lots of Them" was the reply.
