Prehistoric Egyptian Giants.

In 1881, when Prof. Zimmerman was
engaged in exploring the ruins Of an
ancient temple of Isis on the banks of
the Nile, sixteen miles below Najar
Djfard, he opened a row of tombs in
which some prehistoric ace of giants
had been buried. The smallest skele-
ton out of some sixty odd which were
examined during the time Zimmerman
was excavating at Najar .Djfard
measured seven feet and eight inches
in length and the largest eleven feet
and one inch. Memorial tablets were
discovered in great numbers, but there
was no record that even limited that
they were in the memory of men of ex-
traordinary size. 1t is believed that
the tombs date back to the year 1O43

CYCLES FOR SIGNAL SERVICE
Recent Experiments Likely to d to the
Value Of the Corps.

Recent Experiments Likely to Add to the
Value Of the Corps.
The army signal officers have
equipped the service with an ingenious
arrangement for distributing telegraph
and telephone wires. It was found
that in throwing insulated or naked
wires on the ground preparatory to es-
tablishing communicating stations the
weight of the reel containing the wire
was considerable, and it had to be car
ried in some sort of a handcart. The
arrangement required two men in the
operation-one to push the cart, the
other to wind and unwind the wire.
The latest method is to carry the wire
on a reel which is fixed to a bicycle.
The rider, by his propulsion of the
wheel, distributes the wire in the track
of the machine. An ingenious mech
anism also permits him to rapidly
gather up the wire from the ground,
and it is reeled on a spool borne in
front of the handle bar.
This use of the bicycle is a great sav-
great value on the battlefield, when the
rapid construction of communicating
lines is of great Importance. In front
of the saddle this signal corps bicycle
will support a case of instruments and
tools, in addition to the usual leather
pocket in which the bicycle implements
are carried. Supported over the rear
wheel of the machine, and directly be-
hind the saddle, is the case which con-
tains the telegraphic and telephone
instruments. This can be removed and
a communicating station established
anywhere along the line.
This bicycle has been tried with
much success in Texas, and it will be
adopted generally by the signal lines
men. The bicycle will probably relieve
the corps Of much travel. and it's light
ness, even with the reel of wire and in
strument cases, readily permits it's be-
ing lifted over distractions such as
Stone walls, hedges and fallen trees.
It will enable the operators to work
with speed. both in laying and gather
ing the lines of wire. The reel will
carry insulated as well as naked wire,
although experiments with the latter
have proved that it is also of much
value. n

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE IN w. c. T.
WORK BY M. ELLA A.. GLEASON.

1890 - GAoO "
A few months ago as I was travelling
in the western part of Massachusetts to
fill a lecture engagement, it was necessary
for me to change cars at one ofthen num-
erous railway functions. AS white
ribboners are proverbially tired, it is
my custom after taking my seat in the
cars to rest my head on my hand and
secure all the rest possible OH a fast
moving noisy train. While in this po-
sition l felt rather than saw that two
persons entered, seated themselves be-
hind me and began to talk. 1t has been
said that young women are much given
to talking over their personal affairs
for the benefit of their fellow passengers
The persons behind me were certainly
not exceptions to this rule for in spite
OF my great effort not to hear | became
SO interested in their conversation that
l wished to see my entertainers. AS /
turned my head | was %astonlshed to see
two young men; so | mentally retracted
all that had been thinking that Vas
derogator to young women. One young
man SAID to the other; "say go and see
If you can get a paper, will you? Lets
read the newe." The companion went
in search of the newshov. His stay
was somewhat p%rotracted and on his
return young man No. one sald:-" Seems
to ME you were gone long enough"
"Well," said No. two, you'll have
nothing to read-papers all sold, but l
