Germany and Italy, and our govern
ment in turn receives ambassadors
from these four nations Prior to
1888, no diplomatic agent of higher
rank than that of envoy extraordinary
and minister plenipotentiary (Which
latter term generally means less than
its derivation implies) ever represented
the United States in foreign countries.
The terms ambassador, minister and
envoy are often used rather indiscrim-
inately. There is excuse for this
Vagueness, as it is doubtful whether
the distinctions have yet been laid
down with final and absolute clear
ness. The following divisions of diplo-
matte agents into four classes is, how
ever, generally accepted: Ambassa-
doris, legates and nuncios: ministers.
ENJOYS and other accredited to sove-
reigns; resident ministers; Charges
d'affaires." Ambassadors represent the
person of their sovereign, and are re-
celved with almost equal dignity to
that which would be accorded him.
Ministers, in contradistinction, are re-
garded as representing their sovereign
NJ" affairs rather than In his per-
son. The ministers resident deal usu-
ally with the state department, and
not with the person of the ruler of
the foreign country. Charges d.
affaires act in the absence of their
and are therefore only what
may be termed substituted representa-
American.

A DISCOVERY OF RARE VALUE.
Find Of Papyri Containing "Logia'
Not in the Gospels.

One of the largest and most i'm
portant finds of papyri in Egypt has
been made during the last winter ly
Mr.. Bernard P. Grenfell and Mr.. A. S
Hunt, of Queens college, Oxford
working on behalf of the Egypt Elk
ploration Fund, at Behnesa, the an
cient Oxyrrhyncus. The site of the
old town, which is one and one-fourth
miles long by half a mile broad, and
is situated on the little explored edge
Of the western desert, between Fqyum
what is in Upper Egypt now almost
untouched by dealers and antiq iity
seekers, and offered TO the eXcavatnrs
what is in Upper Egypt now lmost
thing of the pasta practically viz
gin field. Very few remains of build
ings were discovered, the place having
been long used as a quarry both for
stone and bricks, but many OF the
ancient rubbish mounds yielded d rich
store of papyri, while in three mounds
the quantity of rolls found together
was large enough to warrant the as
sumption that part of the archives had
been thrown there at different periods.
The papyri range from the Roman
conquest to early Arab times, each GEN.
fury being largely represented, and
are for the most part written in Greek,
with sprinkling of Latin, Coptic and
Arabic. AS the eXcavatOrs had not
time for desciphering, very little is yet
known Of their contents, but Mr.. Gren-
fell's chief hope in digging the site Ct
Oxyrrhyncus- the prospect Of linling
early Christian documents-would
seem to have been to some extent
realized. Among the papyri discover
ed at the very beginning of the exca-
vations was a leaf from a third cen
fury papyrus book, apparently con
tanning a collection of Logia, or say
ings of Christ. Some Of those found
in the fragment are not in the Gospels,
while others exhibit several diver
gencies from the text of the parallel
passages OF the Gospels. The age,
character and value of these Logia
are likely to be the subject for con-
siderable speculation, but there is no
foundation for the entirely unauthoriz-
ed and inaccurate reports connecting
this discovery with the Logia which
Papias states we're collected by ST..
Matthew. it is hoped that when the
papyri come to De examined in detail,
further discoveries of early Christian
records will be made, as we'll as of
fragments of lost classical literature,
since in some of the mounds, notably
the earlier ones, an unusually large
proportion of the papyri found were
written in uncials.
The cream of the collection, in point
of size and condition, consisting OF l5v
large and complete rolls in many cases
several feet long, has been retained by
the Gizeh museum; the rest of the col
lection, Of which the bulk is, of course,
in very fragmentary condition, is on
its way to England, where the system
attic examination and publication of ii
will be undertaken by Messrs Grenfell
and Hunt.
Besides papyri the eXcavators found
a considerable number of coins, about
200 inscribed ostraca, bronze and ivory
| ornaments, and other small objects OF
| the Roman and BYZANTINE Deriods

NEW IMPORTANT DISCOVERIES.

Considering the inquisitiveness of
modern humans. and how long they
| have ransacked the earth for traces of
| their remote predecessors, it seems
| surprising how much there is left to
| discover, and what treasures of very
ancient history continue to come to
light. Two very notable finds have
recently been reported from North
Africa. One of them, which does not
go back of historical times, was lately
made by Grenfell and Hunt, who are
working for the Egyptian exploration
fund. They report the recovery of
papyri of great interest and impor-
lance from ancient rubbish mounds
near Behneseh in Egypt These old
documents range from the Roman
conquest to early Arab times, are writ
ten in Greek, with a sprinkling of
Latin, Coptic, and Arabic, and are
thought to include early Christian doc
uments of special value.
Another and slightly earlier Egyp-
tan find is the discovery by Mr. Seton
karr of the great flint mines in Soma
liland, from which the very beginners
on the earth may have got their wea-
Eons and tools. M Kari has been
telling the Royal institution about it.
and makes a story which will be worth
reading in detail. He suspected that
there were paleolithic remains Of int
mense antiquity in the upper valley,
and getting all the information he
could, he set out to search for them.
He discovered them last November,
stretching fer twenty miles across the
desert, like ruined cities, among the
cliff plateaus Of Wady-Sheik, near the
center Of Somaliland One day, while
tracking a lion, he made a great frd
of stone implements which had been
buried for concealment, but had come
to the surface Professor Petri, the
Psychologist, finds evidence in these
and the other relics that men lived in
upper Egypt 100000 years ago.
Another interesting discovery is chat
of the Chinese inscriptions at HermO-
sillo, in Mexico, which seem to Prove
the presence of Chinese on this co.
tinent 1000 years ago. This fEd -
supplemented with curious timelineG5
by the report of r. w. Christian, O
the Polynesian society, who has dis
covered such traces of Chinese and
Japanese in thu islands of the Pacific
as serve to indicate a civilization in
existence 1000 years ago, and proba-
bly, associated with the Central Amer
lean civilization of that day One prob
able result of these Investigations and
discoveries is that we shall finally get
cTedjtable theory Of the origin of
the AZtecs.
There is j chance of learning some
thing else that is interesting from

ton which is about starting for New
Mexico to look for the homes of cliff

BIRD ARTISTS.

That there is a consciousness Of
beauty on the part of birds is plainly
shown by tie manner in which many
of them decorate their nests and sur
rot ndings, and, in some instances
themselves. Perhaps it may not be too
much to claim that all birds are moved
by an artistic sentiment, and that,
while most of them are artistic in eff
feet, many are artistic in both inten-
ton and effect. The appreciation of
what is beautiful is a distinctly marked
characteristic of most members of the
feathered family, and it is only natural
that the desire and ability to create
beauty are found in various degrees of
development among them. 1t is only
step from desire of beauty to an eff
fort to produce it; but the effort and
accomplishment occasionally bring
about strange results, in birds as we'll
as in man.
Striking examples of this bizarre
form of decoration are found in the
motmot, which disfgures it's long tail
feathers in an effort at improvement,
and in the hammer-head and garden
er-bird, which delight in surrounding
their homes with all sorts of bright
colored shells, pebbles, and feathers.
Sometimes the exhibition of artistic
feeling is carried so far as to confound
belief. Were it not for the corrobora-
tive testimony of scientific travellers,
we might well doubt the tales that
come to us OF the bays of Farther
India, and the half-dozen other birds
whose strangely developed decorative
instincts command our admiration and

Officers of the weather bureau at

theory entertined by Chief Moore that
there is close connection between
heat waves and crime waves. If the

in hot weather, should take their vaca-

USE OF THE WRINGER

Using the wringer, says a careful
laundress, seems to be a very simple
affair, but it is not unusual to see
wringers when almost new, entirely
spoiled by careless harding. It is not
at all necessary that the thumb screws
should be turned down to their utmost
limit from the clothes, although this
appears to be the operation of many
Iaundresses.

In few shore resorts In the country 10
there a much more beautiful natural
scenery than at Rocky Point and al
none are the accommodations for the
patrons more suitable.
The water front is strikingly attrac-

ture which at once draws the attention
OF the thousands OF visitors.
1t has always been the aim OF the
proprietor, r. A. Harrington, 10 provide
for his patrons that recreation and
amusement which they most enjoy. That
he has been successful in his endeavor
is evident from the popularity of his
resort since Its opening.
Rocky Point Is al ideal place for rec
reation and rest. and thus It's popularity
Is accounted for. and for this reason
those people who seek To escape the
noise and hubbub OF the city go to the
oldest resort on Narragansett Bay.
This season Manager Harrington has
succeeded in again gaining the favor
Of the people of tfte State by the provis-
ion he has made for their entertain
ment. His shore dinner, ever served in
the best OF style, is once more one of the
leading features of the place, its lus
ciousness being appreciated by the most
fastidious.
Sunday will be a great day at the
point, as Manager Harrington has pro-
vided many special attractions for the
amusement OF his guests, and II the day
is fair the crowd will be one of the
largest OF the season.
Arrangements have been completed
for the Labor Day excursion. There will
be societies from all over the State, and
many are expected from Massachusetts.

the season for Rocky Point.
