from the defeated Egyptians can be found in the
that the stone age lasted in the Nile Valley
till the arrival of the first Egyptians. who
brought with them the use of metals and q new
method OF disposing OF the dead. In the period
following the invasion the art OF cutting vases
out, OF stone seems to have tlourshed. Bronze
and gold became known, and also hieroglyphic
writing. This is the beginning of Pharaonic
art. There Is a gap after the Kings OF Mega
dab and Abydos the length of which we do not
know, Then appears the Egypt of the Phar.
tion. In REPUTATION Of NJ. de Mortillet's theory
that the invading Egyptians were of African
origin. NJ. de Morgan states tho case In favor
OF their being Asietics as follows.
l. LanRuage.. M. Maspero, though he be-
neves that the first Egyptians were Africans,
admits that, there is a relationship between
the Semitic language and that of the Phnraohs,
and that they must at some time have be-
longed to the Same group.

Christ only two peoples possessed writing, the
Chaldeans on the Euphrates and the Egyptians
on the Nile. The two writings had d common
origin, IN representation of objects, and this
idea took a different develop

4. Fine Arts.-Most of the artistic objects and
monuments of the ancient empire have a strik-

taken the statues OF Ra.Hotep and OF Nofri,

much debated. Various copper vessels and
implements were found in the royal graves of
Abydos. A careful analysis of their chemical
constituents has boon made by NJ. Bcrthelot of
the French Institute, who finds only pure cop
per, with no alloy, save an occasional trace Of
arsenic. He lays stress on the fact that copper
was used and not bronze or harder alloys for
needles, axe heads, and other cutting instru-
ments.
Among the names found by NJ. Amelineau at
Abydos one deserves special mention. 1t Ia tho
same as the one engraved on statue No. l OF the

COTTON AND PROTECTION.

Oakland Enquirer: State Agricul-
tural Commissioner Nesbitt of Georgia
publishes an article upon the cotton
production of the world, in which he
claims that the Southern States have
established practical monopoly These
States produce three-fourths of all the
cotton grown in the world, and this
proportion tends to increase all the
time. Within the past twenty-seven
years other cottOn-grOWing countries
have increased their output only ten
per cent, while the cotton crop of the
United States in the same time has in
creased over 200 per cent. Measured
in bales, the increase has been as fol-
lows: Increase in American cotton
6,31I 900, increase in foreign 25S, 900,
increase in American over foreign cot
ton 1853 900 bales There is however
another way of stating it which makes
a different showing. A few weeks ago
some of the Southern members of Con-
gress We're endeavoring to induce the
House of Representatives to put pro-
tective duty on cotton, and inquiry as
to the reason for such action brought
out the statement that a good deal of
Egyptian cotton is imported; that it is
long staple and takes the place of sea-
island cotton from the South; that the
imports now amount to 100000 bales
annually. and that this importation has
beaten the price of sea-island cotton
down from 20 cents to 10 and II cents
