A Wonder of AntianitY.

One Of the greatest wonders Of ancient
Egypt was the famous artificial body Of
water called Lake Mocris According TO
Herodotus the measure of its circumfer-
ence was 3, 300 furlongs, which is equal to
The entire length of Egypt along the sea
coast The excavation, which was made
in the time Of King Mocris Ohc Mormon
OF the Greeks and Romans), was of vary
ing depths, and its center was occupied by
two pyramids, the apcxeS of which were
300 feet higher than the surface of the wa
ter The water for this gigantic artificial
reservoir was obtained from the Nile
through canal, which six months Of the
year had an inflow and the other six an
outflow, corresponding TO high and low
water I'm the river The canal gradually
filed with sand and the lake has long
since evaporatcd, but its bottom is still

The Telephone Ear,

II Is somewhat strange that the new
malady which has appeared in the Amer
lean telephone exchanges is most prevalent
in California. while being almost entirely
unknown in the eastern states. The ia
tigue of listening continually at the re-
ceyer produces n humming in the ears,
headache, and, finally, absceSs of the tym-
panum. The employee has to rest every
three or four hours, and sometimes to
cease work altogether for some days 1t is
not yet explained whether the affection is
due TO defective apparatus or to overwork
Further light on this subject is especially
desirable, as it may give most valuable
suggestions TO aurists who are now treat
ing certain ear affections by sound vibra-
tions produced through the telephone. The
idea is favored by some leading practition-
ers that in many cases abnormal tissues
can he stimulated TO healthy activity ny
the concentration upon them OF vibrations
Of exactly suitable pitch and strength. In
many of the best equipped telephone ex-
changes "a clever provision has been made
for reducing the ear fatigue Of the operator
by the use Of "A small electric lamp, which,
working in the call wires. indicates
Through" and so obyiates the voice calls,
which are sometimes so Irritating 10 the
