ANCIENT PRICES FOR ART.
What Some of the Colossal NIasI erpfeces
of SculDfure Cost.

of Sculpture Cost.
The prices sculptors receive for their
work today, says an article quoted in
Current Literature, are sometimes
thought to be high in comparison with
" hat is received by painters But when
the highest prices paid to the sculptors
are compared with those paid for famous
statues in ancient times they seem mere
trif1es. The famous Colossus of Rhodes,
bronze statue which rose to the height
of about 105 feet. cost 300 talents. which,
taking the Attic talent. equals 1925. 900,
or lay the other talent, which is more.
probable, $4,000. Then there was the
famous Colossus of the Sun, Il bronze
figure Of Apollo, IS feet high. which cost
800 talents. equal to $::575, 900. But the
value of both of these colossal works
sinks into insignificance when compared
with the price paid for colossal statue
of Mercury. made by Enodoras for the
city Of Averni, in Gaul. The cost of
this colossal work was 81 ,675,O 900, and
occupied the sculptor for ten years. The
great statue of Athena. which Phidias
made for the Parthenon at Athens, was
also an expensive work, but the exact
amount paid by the state is not known.
It was richly adorned with ivory and
gold, costing vast sums. The ancient
writers are equally silent as to the aggre-
gate paid to Phidias for the statue of
Jupiter at Olympia, but they do tell us
something as 20 details. The unalloyed
gold on the movable drapcry on the
Athena. we are told by Thucydides, was
over 40 talents in weight. which would
equal in value S5SO,00O in coin, while a
single lock on the head of Jupiter repre-
scented the value Of about $4,000. Even
when gold was not employed handsome
prices were paid to the artists for their
work. For the famous statue. the Diadu-
menos. a bronze figure of life size, rep
resenting youth tying fillet around
his head, 1'Glycletns received about $125,-

The Blue Mediterranean,

Investigation shows the peculiar fact
that the deepest part of the Mediterra-
mean sea, contrary to what might be ex-
pected under apparent circumstances, ap-
pears intensely blue. This has been sup
posed to be caused by minute particles
held in suspension, but recent expert
ments made by Prof. Spring, at Liege,
suggest different explanation of so in
tcrcsting a phenomenon. He has found
that warmer currents passing through
pure water interrupts it's transparency,
even when the difference of temporal ure
is but very slight. So the currents may
cause deep water to appear blue by re-
flecting light back from it's depths
through the transparent layers above.
This, it is suggested, explains the fact
that fresh water lakes are more trans
parent in winter than in summer, be-
cause in winter currents of heated water
arc now traversing them. Even the
shadow of Il mountain falling OIL lake
may increase the transparency of the
water by cooling the surface. The we'll
known theory of scientists concerning
this matter has been that pure water ap-
pears blue when light is transmitted
through a certain thickness of it. but
while pure water looks blue when light
passes freely through it, yet when it is
in deep receptacle. like the basin of
n lake or the ocean. it ought to absorb
all the light and look black.-New York

WAKING AT A CERTAIN HOUR.
The BOSTON Man Who Heard the Clock

The BOSTON Man Who Heard the Clock
- Strike Six. :2@ ~ n 14s
A man who wished to make sure that
an ailing child in Il bed in an adjoining
room kept covered through the night, and
who before he went to sleep himself
made mental memorandum to the eff
feet that he must not sleep without wax.
into very sound slumher. But in the
midst OF it he was awakened by appa>
rently hearing the bell of the town clock
not far away strike 6 o'clock--all the
strokes falling clearly-one, two, three,
four. five, six. Now, this man is accus-
toned to rise every morning at 6 o'clock.
and seldom sleeps past that hour; it has
long been for him the end of the night
and the beginning of the day. AS he
heard the strokes, naturally ne had the
impression that he had slept all night,
and had neglected the child. He got up
quickly, and was surprised to find that
the darkness was intense; and on strik-
ing light and consulting his watch he
was astonished to find not only that he
had not slept more than two hours but
that no bell had struck-that it was be-
tween the hours, so that he could not
have heard the clock strike some other
hour and mistaken 1t for six. There
| was. it should be mentioned, no striking
| clock in the house, nor any within hear
4HS except the Town CLOCK. Wnlci &c sup
posed he had heard, but had not.
Now this seems to be clear case of
the operation Of some sort of machinery
III the mans mind, whereby he was
reused by the premature occurrence of
the sensation of summons that was
sure to wake him under ordinary cir
cumstances. That the man was sound
asleep was proved by the fact that he
might easily have heard the bell strike
II md II. for the window was open
and soon afterward. being now awake
he heard it strike l O'Clock loudly; but
he heard nothing of the noisy striking
Of these hours. He had gone to sleep
very tired, and, but for this summons
SO skillfully directed by his subconscious-
ness, occurring at the expiration of the
time he had set when he fell asleep, he
might easily have slept all night. The
ringing of no hour but & ever reused him
under ordinary circumstances. There
fore," said his unsleeping subconscious-
ness, II will ring in 6 O'clock on him,
and see if that will make him get up
and cover the baby" The false sum-
mons worked like !, charm. Such things
make more that Alice in Wonderland
play that they are two people. Boston
