A GREAT DISCOVERY.
Finding OF Egyptian Papyrf Contains
ing Chrizt,s Sayings.

One OF the largest and most impor-
tant finds of papyri in Egypt has been
made during the last winter by Bernard
P Grenfen and a. S. Hunt, of Queens
college, Oxford, working on behalf Of
the Egyptian exploration fund, st
Behnesa, the ancient Oxyrrhyncus.-
The site of the old town, which is one
and one-fourth miles long by half
mile broad, and is situated on the little
explored edge of the western desert,
between Fayun and Minya. had
remained almost untouched by deal
ers and antiquity seekers. and Of
fered to the eXcavators what is in
upper Egypt now almost thing of
the pasta practically Grgin field.
Very few remains of buildings were dis
covered, the place having been long
used as a quarry, both for stone and
bricks, but many of the ancient rub
bish mounds yielded a rich store of
papyri, while in three mounds the
quantity of rolls found together was
large enough to warrant the assump-
ton that part of the archives had been
thrown there at different periods.
The papyri range from the Roman
conquest to early Arab times, each cen
fury being largely represented, and are
for the most part written in Greek.
with a sprinkEng of Latin, Coptic and
Arabic. As the excayators had not time
for deciphering, very little is yet known
OF their contents, but Mr.. GrenfelPs
chief hope in digging the site of
Oxyrrhyncus-the prospect of finding
early Christian documents - would
seem to have been to some extent real
lied. Among the papyri discovered at
the very beginning of the excavations
was leaf from a third century papyrus
book apparently containing collec-
ton of Logia. or sayings of Christ.
Some of those found in the fragment
are not in the gospels, while others eX-
hibit several Emergencies from the text
of the parallel passages in the gospels
The age. character and value of these
Logia are likely to be the subject of
considerable speculation, but there is
no foundation for the entirely unau-
thorized and inaccurate reports con
Meeting this discovery with the Logia
which Papias states were collected by
St. Matthew. 1t is hoped that when the
papyri come to be examined in detail,
further discoveries of early Christian
records will be made, as we'll as of frag
ments of lost classical literature. since
in some of the mounds, NOTABLY the ear
iier ones, an unusually large proportion
of the papyrir found were written in
Uneials.
The cream of the collection, in point
of size and condition, consisting of so
large and complete rolls in many cases

the GiZeh museum; the rest of the col

ABOUT TUBERCULOSIS.
HOW to Tell What Cows Are Afflicted

How to Tell What Cows Are Afflicted
with the Disease.
II. P. Miller, of Ohio, says that tu-
berculosis is one of the most danger
Gus diseases to be found in the cow
stable, and one about which people
know too little. This disease in cattle
is Identical with consumption in the
human family and is transmissible
from men to cattle and vice versa.
The tuberculin test so generally used
now for determining what animals
may be diseased is based upon the
knowledge that the disease is produced
by bacteria, or by millions of them
rather, and the theory that they pro-
duce disease by developing poisonous
substance in the system. Tuberculin,
used in making the test, is simply
beef broth solution of this bacterial
toxine, secured by growing the bacilli
in beef broth and straining out the
bacili through a porcelain dish. 1t
was found that small amount of the
tuberculin introduced into the circula-
ton of a tuberculous COW induced
fever, rise of two degrees in tempera-
ture being considered indicative of the
presence of the disease. The test is
not infallible, but reasonably sure. The
instruments used are a hypodermic
syringe, and a thermometer for each
ten cows, and an extra one to replace
broken ones. The first day one man to
each 20 cows, and one to keep the rec
ord, are needed. The second day it re-
quires one man to each ten cows to take
the temperature. It requires accuracy
but no especial skill. Temperatures
have to be taken from six in the morn
ing until twelve at night, each day.
If the tubercuin test proves all that is
claimed for it (there are some skeptics)
the day is coming when all cows will
be tested and the liability of families
contracting consumption or other dis
eases from tuberculous cows will be
lessened.-Dakota Field and Farm.

DEAD LETTER OFFICE MUSEUM.
A Collection of Strange Finds in the
Mails.

A Collection of Strange Finds in the
Mails.
The museum of the dead letter office
which was instituted by Gen. Hazen
about Is years ago, contains a motley
collection of articles, which have
passed through the United States mail
and have been sent to the dead letter
Office as unavailable, misdirected, with
out any address or without name OF
sender, or short of postage. 3
Among the most interesting speci-
mems in this little museum are the'ani-
mails whose diverse but illegal Journeys
across country, by means of Uncle
Sans mail bags, were summarily in
tercepted, and the travellers placed in
bondage here, after due execution and
preservation by the government tax
idermist
Quite large section of the museum is
appropriated to the display of domestic
utensils, whose useful mission was for
one reason or another frustrated.
There seem enotgh-from a lamp
chimney and butchers knife to a
wash board, and including well-filied
market basket-to completely equip a
modern kitchen. Farm implements
are plentiful. and one wenders as &c
whoever should have thought of at
tempting to send hatchets, pick ak, a
Duck saw, a hitching post, pulley,
horse shoes and harness, as we'll as a
supply of corn on the ear through the
nail, but these are all in the museum.
Beautiful jewelry, comprising every
possible article of sdornment, is dis
played within the glass doors, and ex-
Iuisite miniatures of old time beauties
make enc covetous. There is displayed
beautiful square of Mexican drawn
work, and there are delicate embroid-
cries representing the art of many
countries, while a finely wrought cruel
fix of solid gold stands for the loss of
some poor penitent. Among the curious
are a picture frame composed of the
lava from the lava beds of CALIFORNIA;
and a beautiful model of the Washing
ton monument made from the bark OF
the redwood tree of California A pair
of gigantic wooden sabots it is very
evident were seized for overweight, and
one wonders what thoughtless or maley-
olent offender tried to send by mali
a loaded revolver, which. relieved of its
charge, hangs against the back of one
of the cases. Books in almost every
tongue, some of them rare enough to
tempt the conscience of the bibliophile

musical instruments. = Washington
