The Mosaic Age Highly Literary.

At first the Tel el-Amarna tablets
were declared to be forgeries, and Renan
gave expression to the critical" skep-
ticism on the subject in his annual adj
dress on oriental discovery. Very soon,
however, the most stout hearted cham
pion of the illiteracy Of the ancient east
was obliged to yield, and the "critics"
were forced to admit that on this point,
at all events, they had been in the
wrong But it was with bad grace
that the admission was made, for it did
not require much penetration to see that
the discovery deprived them of what l
may term their base of operations. Just
as VOLTS skepticism in regard to the
age and authorship of Homer rested on
his belief in the late date Of the use OF
writing for literary purposes in Greece,
so the really strong argument OF the
"critics'' against the Mosaic age and
authorship of the Pentateuch was that
neither Moses nor his contemporaries
could read or write. The Tel el-Amarna
tablets have come to upset this supposed
fact and to show that the Mosaic age
was highly literary one. 1t is amusing
to watch the undisguised reluctance
with which the "critics" have swallow
ed the unpalatable fact that. after all
Moses could have written the Israelitisl
law. Review.

That smiled up at the sun.
"Hurrahl" cried. "From home a rover free
I'll breast life's waves alone"
And storm and night seemed faint and far away
And old wives hints OF wreck

Like gold upon the deck
But when upon the canvas of the cloud,
Ink black in onward rush
And hoarsely mounting OF the thunder loud,
The Jagged lightnings brush
Lirhned noe NY folly with each vivid stroke,

PICTURE ON A HILL.
The Long Man of Wilmington, England
Measures 2IO Feet.

The Long Man of Wilmington, England
Measures 24O Feet.
About midway between Berwick and
Polegate stations, at "a point where tho
side OF the hill is very precipitous, those
who know exactly the spot where to
look will be able 10 see from the rail-
way carriage windows sort Of rude
imitation Of the human form outlined
in white. The figure, which is between
200 and 800 feet in height, holds long
staff in each hand. This is "the Long
Man Of Wilmington, once the center
Of profound veneration and worship,
but now merely an object Of interest to
the curious.
In order to obtain an adequate idea Of
this great hillside figure, dominating
the surrounding country and appearing
to watch as guardian over the little Wiz
lage below, it is desirable to approach
it afoot, tramping along the winding
lanes, as the pilgrims of old must have
tramped when they came hither on the
occasion of some great religious festival.
Seen from afar, the figure does not APP
pear to be of remarkable size, but grad
ually, as one approaches the hill, it as
sumes an imposing and definite shape.
The figure, about $40 feet in height,
was merely shaped in the turf so as to
allow the chair TO appear through. In
the course of time these depressions in
the surface became almost impercepti-
BILE, and to such an extent was the fig
ure neglected that at last it was only
possible to make out the form at dis
lance when the slight hollows were
marked by drifted snow or when the
oblique rays of the rising or setting sun
threw them into deep shadow. In or
der to preserve the form of the Long
Man, and to render it at the same time
easily distinguishable at a distance the
outline was marked by single line OF
white bricks placed closely together.
The effect has been to produce some-
what startling figure, which is plainly
| visible in fine weather from great dis
tance.
There are in different parts of the
! country other examples of extremely
rude and early hillside figures, and, al
| though the very fact of their great an
tiquity renders it unlikely that histor-
| ical or documentary evidence will be
| forthcoming as to their design or precise
| purpose, it is very satisfactory to find
that an explanation has been found
which will at once account for many of
their peculiarities.
The theory is that these are sacrificial
figures. We learn from the writings OF
Caesar that the Gauls (and the Britons
were doubtless included) had figures OF
vast size, the limbs of which, formed OF
osiers, they filled with living men. The
figure was ultimately fired, and the
miserable victims persisted i'll the flames
There is a local saying in Sussex
probably of great antiquity, in which
the Long Man is mentioned in reference
to the weather. 1t runs:
When Firle hill and Long Man has q cap,
| We at Aston gets drap.

A Mean. Mean Man.

In. the town of Griffin, Ga, good
looking, we'll to do bachelor was beng
leased by the young ladies of club for
not being married. He said, III marry
the one of you whom, on secret VOTE
you elect to be my wife. " There were
nine members of the club. Each girl
went into a corner and used great eau
ton in preparing her ballot and DISCUS
ing her handwriting. The result OF the
vote was that there were nine votes
cast, each girl receiving one. The man
remains bachelor, the club is broken
nm. and the girls, all mortal enemies,

A Sea of Pigtails Watched Twist Drill
Work.
An interesting account of visit to
Chinese arsenal near Fuchau is given
by correspondent of Casters Maya
zine. He says:
'Taking out two drills, 1 sent them
in and Immediately was invited to enter.
The official was polite, bowling and
rhaking his own hands, as is the custom
among Cinnamon, and offered me cup
of tea.
"There happened to be several forg-
ings in the room, and as l pressed the
drills against them and pointed 10 over
the wall he seemed to comprehend what
was wanted, and in a few minutes /
was in large, well lighted machine
shop. l might say this extensive plant
was built and equipped by French engi-
neers some 8 years ago.
"The native foreman examined my
tools with great interest and called III
several assistants. All looked puzzled
and did not seem to know what they
were for. Walking to drill press,
took out the fiat drill, and, after con-
siderable packing around the shank,
succeeded in getting one of my taper
shank twist drills to run fairly true in
the spindle. There must have been 90
Cinnamon working in the room, and
every one had gathered around this
press. The foreman ordered them of
repeatedly, and then, looking at me,
laughed good naturally and gave it up.
HE brought piece of cast iron, but
I wanted something harder to drill, so
I walked over to large planer and
took a long extension tool. made from
| 3 by IL inch tool steel, and clamped it
up to the table Of the drill press. He
shook his h, I'D, intimating that the
twist drill could not go through, and
the crowd of workmen emitted grunts
Of approval.
"The press started, the lips of the
twist drill turned out two spiral chips.
The men elbowed me to one side. There
was sea of pigtails bending down,
watching the marvellous action of that
little tool AS the chips grew in length
the exp ,sions of wonderment IN
creased.
cit happened that the chips did not
break until they were about IA inches
long. Then others started, and each
time that they broke off they were eager
" snatched by the men. some burning
their fingers, and examined carefully
from end to end.
"The dull edges of the drill were
shown around and then ground and
started again, and the fact that the drill
would cut as we'll as the first time
caused increased amazement and muir
murs. / have made many tests with
twist drills, but never before such an
appreciative and demonstrative audi
ence."
