hATESU'S GREAT TEMPLE.
A Leaf From the History Of Ancient
Egypt.

Egypt.
No other temple in Egypt is at all
like Dier-el-Behari 1t is built in a
series of terraces hewn out of the hill
side, and along the front runs a series
OF marvellous carvings cut in beauti-
full white sandstone. They anticipate
those days long after, when the navy OF
Tarshish ''came once in three years,
laden with gold, silver, ivory, apes and
peacocks" Everything is here except
she peacocks Below, in the water, are
carved many of the fish of the Red sea,
and so true to nature are they that each
species can be identified, including a
sole with one eye bigger than the other,
which folks learned in such matters
say shows a keen eye for nature l
dare say Hatesu had naturalists and ar
lists attached to her court, and sent
them with her expedition to Punt She
merely anticipated the voyage of the
Challenger by few thousand years
Along with the treasures came the
queen of Punt and many chiefs and did
homage to the royal Egyptian. Hatesu
had represented the rival queen as a
hideous dwarf, hunchbacked and dis
torted. ibid not Cleopatra describo
Octavia as ''dwarfish"?) This may be
feminine spite, or merely that the
court artists found it easier to draw
a sole than a woman. Never was
a commercial transaction recorded in
so picturesque a fashion If one is to
enter into trading relationship with
. as.~t,l IL.

IL seems infinitely superior to dull
charter parties. bills OF lading and Gus
tom house routine.
But now trouble was awaiting
Hatesu. For fifteen years she reigned
magnificentfy, keeping her young half
brother Thotmes III in subsection.
Now tie youth had grown to mans es-
tate He was lad of very different
metal from that other brother whom
e. Hatesu swept away at the beginning of
her reign. With the exception of
Rameses H., he was destined to be the
greatest of all Egyptian kings For
seven years they reigned together. but
Hatesu still claimed the foremost place.

one fancies, and then the great queen
disappeared: not 4 word. not a hint,

she was but forty years old. it seems
likely that there was meted ont TO her
the same measure that she dealt to
Thotmes IL Directly the end came,
her successor erased her name from all
her monuments. and viciouslv hewed

ness Here and there, however. her
cartouches are merely dishgured. not

queen still holds prominent place on

EMERALD MINING.
Primitive Implements Used in tho Andes
Mountains.

1.-THE emerald mines," says Albert
Millican, in Travels and Adventures of
an Orchid Hunter, '1ie in a basin sur
rounded by high mountains in the form
of circle. These mines are now the
property of the government of Column
bia, which rents them TO a company
employing five or six overseers and
about four hundred native worknen.
1.-The means used for working them
are very primitive, but they yield every
year large amount of precious stones,
which are Immediately shipped to Eu-
rope.
THE band of rock containing the
precious crystals is more than thou
sand feet high, formed of black shale
veined with pyrites of iron. Very few
e1neralds are found in the black stone,
but by cutting down the face of the i'm
mense precipice veins OF white stone
are uncovered; this is known as ealcite,
a crystallized form of carbonate of lime.
The emeralds are sometimes embedded,
and sometimes found in hollow cavities.
and the work of cutting down the side
of tire rock is done by natives, mostly
with q crorvbar.
"A piece of rock a yard wide Is Sc
lected, running the whole length of the
mine on the top; this is cut down
few yards, and then another level CT
the same is begun again at the top, IN
til the whole breast of the rock appears
to be monster staircase, the broken
having been thrown down 10
the bottom Of the precipice.
''On the opposite bank from the spot
where the erneralds are taken out
stream Of water is kept running BY
means Of sluices in reservoir, and as
the slu1ces are opened, every fifteen
the water Is allowed TO rush
down the rocks with great force, the
torrent clearing away ali the broken
stone thrown down b. the miners since

earth around the leper. Quicker and

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 9.-With the
telegram wires singing more regular,
the full extent of the disaster in this
section Of the country becoming known
and every message brings additions to
the number of vessels wrecked and
lives lost. An arriving schooner at
Biloxi reports that many bodies are
floating on the shore at Cat Island, Ship
Island and Chandelier Island. Not less
than 70 were counted on Cat Island
alone. They had been buffeted by wind
and wave and were in state of decom-
position, and are being buried as rapidly
as the sorely tried relief parties are able
to dig graves for them in the sand OF
the beach. Before the storm of Sunday
there were 100 craft anchored in and
around Biloxi. Only three survived.
The Stories of Death and Desolation
which continue to come in from the
storm stricken district of Southern

OF the most narrowing character.
Scores of dead bodies are still lying on
the rivers edge, or are in the high and
tangled weeds OF the marshes, whittier

escaped are starving. 1t is reported
that men and women. driven to des-

still lying exposed to the hot sun are
