EGG TPTT.4N BOT1NISTS.


!
We have historical proofs and actual
records to show that in Egypt at any
rate, plant collecting abroad ii. e., In
Arabia) took place thousands of years
before the Christian era. Now let us
glance at the actual evidence, On the
walls Of room in the great Temple of
Karnac at Thebes there exist, perhaps,
the earliest art records Of plants existing
in the world to-day. A series of exqui-
site carvings or sculptures adorn the
walls, and these are representations of
foreign plants collected and brought
home by Thothmes III. on his trium-
plant return from a campaign in Ara
ba. These sculptured records show not
, only the natural aspect of plant or tree,
but leaves and flower; fruits or seeds
pods are shown separately, as in our
modern botanical works of to-day.
Mr. w. Flinders Petrie, the well
known Egyptian explorer and archacol-
ogist, has taken casts and photographs
of these wonderful old records, and some
of these may be seen in the museum at
Cairo, in the British museum and else
where. These sculptured pictures, for
some were colored originally. must not
be COMPOUNDED with actual dried speci-
mems of Egyptian garden and wild
plants that have been found preserved
in the mummy wrappings of Ahmes T.,
Rameses H., and other great men, and
in the graves discovered at Dalschur,
Sahkara and DER ell Bahara.
These actual flowers consisted Of blue
and white lotus peoples. narcissus,
grasses, palm clover, barley, juniper
and other plants which grew and -four
ished at least two thousand years before
our Savior was born at Bethlehem!
Samples Of these actual flowers, as used
in the funeral wreaths of Egypt four
thousand years ago, may be seen in the
museum at Cairo, as well as in the Brit
ish museum at Kew.
But let us return for moment to the
stone pictures of Thothmes Ill, whose
name can be spelled twenty or thirty
different ways. In Rawlinson's am
cient Egypt" page 1856, he says:
"Thothmes noted all that was strange or
unusual in the lands which he visited,
and sought to introduce the various nov
elites into his own proper country. His
artists had instructions to make careful
studies Of the objects, and to represent
them faithfully on his monuments. We
see on these water lilies as high as trees
plants of a growth like cacti all sorts of
trees and shrubs, leaves, flowers and
fruits, including melons and pomegra-
nates" Birds and beasts, also herons
and sparrowhawks, geese and doves are
fairly mixed up together. Above ALL |
however, let us read the inscription or
legend Thothmes put up alongside his |
stone picture gallery;
Thus said the king, I swear by the |
sun, and I call to witness my Father
Ammon, that all Is plain truth, there Is |
no trace of deception in that which I |
have done. What the splendid soil |
brings forth In the way of productions I
have had portrayed In these pictures,
with the intention Of offering them to
my Father Ammon as memorial for all |
time Amateur Gardening.

A DOUBLED BARREL CANNON.

Doube-barrel guns have long been
among the accepted types of sporting
weapons, and muti-barrel pistols. too,
of the so-called pepper-box design of a
generation ago, are familiar, even to-
day, to great number of people. We
have become acquainted also with the
multi-charge cannon of more recent
date, in which powder chambers were
arranged along the line of single gun
tube, intended to add the impetus of
their explosive charges successfully to
the projectile as it passed along the
barrel. But double barrel cannon is
something to which, one might say, an
tiquity has lent the grace of novelty. A
cannon of this kind, probably the only
one in the world--a relic of the Ameri-
can civil war of thirty odd years ago
Is one of the ornaments Of the town
hall lawn at Athens, Ga. In using this
curious weapon, the intention was to
attack the ends Of a chain, fifty feet or
therea bouts, in length, to two cannon
balls, which formed the charge, and the
idea was that when these projectiles
left the cannon, they would diverge,
draw the chain taut, and, in their
course, cut a wide swath through what
ever was in front of them. The cannon,
we are told was taken out into the
country one day to test it. When it
was fired, however, one of the cannon
balls got a slight start over the other,
and the result was disastrous, the pro-
jectiles and chain taking a whirling
notion ploughing up the ground all
around, and scattering the assembled
spectators in every direction. That
seems to have been the one and only oc-
casion on which the gun was fired with
anything besides simple powder
charges. For saluting purposes the
cannon was used few times in after
years, and when, not long ago, it turn
ed up in junk shop, it was purchased
by the city of Athens to serve hereaf-
ter for purely decorative purposes

cells with rings in the walls and rows Of
benches with beams above them and
chains dangling from all. Each prison
has it's chapel, with altar, now disman-
tied and holy-wa tier fount--intended not
for the spiritual welfare of their jallers.
The Moro contains one horror not found
in Cabanas, viz, a crematory, with tive
ovens, for reducing the dead to ashes.
1t Is all complete, and having recently
been cleaned by the American authori-
ties, is now in excellent condition. How
many mortal frames have been turned
to mother dust there Is now no means of
knowing. because if any records were
kept Of the dongs In these prisons, they
were destroyed or carried away by the
Spaniards Not far from the ovens is
kind of chute cut into the stone,
through which the debris of bones, ct
cetera, was dumped into the surf, which
at high tide comes raging into an i'm
mense, cistern-llke space, far below.
Probably the ast-named spot answers
to what is known outside as 1.-The well,
into which-so says radltion-hundreds
Of living men have been dropped bound
hand and foot, to drown or be dashed to
death on the rocks, or furnish food for
sharks-Asi Dios quire, las God Wills.
1t is said that before the surrender the
Spaniards so obliterated the worst secret
Of Moro and Cabanas, consigning imple-
ments of torture which would have
shamed the Inquisition, cannon and 9TH
err valuables, to eternal oblivion beneath
the sea. Few guns are left, and those
neither antique nor serviceable, the old
est bearing date of 1876.

The Entry of the Viceroy Of India Into
Calcutta.

! In four-h horse carriage, with royal
scarlet positions and outriders, with the
| towering scarlet and golden Sikhs Of the
Viceroy's body-guard before and behind,
with the Calcutta Lighthouse behind
that and the carriages Of the suite be-
hind that the Designa -Viceroy and
Vicereine drove through swelling cheers
to their home. The public buildings or
Calcutta, as has been said, are neither
few nor mean, but they hardly do them
selves justice, being either hidden be-
hind trees or stepping forward on to
your toes so that you must risk your
neck to look at them. Government
House is in the fashion, from the high
rails and sentries you infer that some
thing important is within, but unless
you chance to turn your head in the
right direction from the Maidan-Cal-
cutta's twomile stretch OF park-you
might live in the place for weeks and
never see what 1t was. But when you
see it, it is plainly a kings palace. De-
signed, as everybody now knows, after
Kedleston Hail. the home of the Cur
IONS, which Adams built, Government
House stands in garden full of lawns
and tall trees. From the central build
ing, which is crowned by a truncated
dome, radiate galleries connecting with
four wings; so that the impression of the
house from either side Is of light buff
semi-circe with Ionic columns and n
porch in the center and similar columns
outlining the wings. To the porch of the
main entrance you go, a couchant
sphinx on either side, up double flight
of steps imperially wide; the impression
of s0lidity combined with lghtness is
distantly suggestive of the Capitol

THE SPEED TRIAL OF THE ORE
CON.

At 7 a. m. of the 14th Chief Engineer
| Robert Forsyth Of the Union Iron
works, who superintended the engine
department reported all ready, and Mr..
Scott gave the word, "Go!"
| After a preliminary warming-up spin
| the a. m. we dashed across the first
range line at a 17-knot gait, and passing
Goleta Point, six miles beyond, she was
going 17h knots (allowing for tidal cor
rection, 17S4) We were to run thirty
sea miles to the westward, turn and re-
peat to the eastward. Everything was
favorable. There was light head-swel
which had no effect upon the ship,
while the moderate head-wind that ac-
companied it gave our fires good
draught 1t was wonderful and eXcit-
ing spectacle. Imagine the momentum
and the pent-up energy of that 10000
ton projectile with a velocity of thirty
feet per second! A hundred first-class
railroad engines combined could hardly
deliver such blow.
The run for the first thirty sea miles
was at an average speed of over seven
teen knots. As we neared Point Con-
ception the conditions grew less favor
able. The head-wind had freshened,
and the head-swell increased consider
ably; the bow cut through instead of
over, and our forward deck was afloat,
which gave us a chance to observe its
freedom from leaks. The jack-staff
washed away, depriving Captain Good
all of his rear sight; but he got there
without 1T.
AS indicative Of the character of the
builder, Irving Scott and of his work,
little incident which took place at
about this time is worthy of mention.
The sea was pouring over the bows in
green masses, and rushed aft in rivers,
until, striking the foot of the forward
turret, it deluged with spray every one
stationed there. Mr.. Scott was COM
fortably seated under the lee of the pi
lot house, apparently as unconcerned
as though he were a passenger. He
detained me a moment to chat about
some matter of trifiing Importance as /
was hurriedly passing him, being up to
my eyes in business Now, l am man
of nervous temperament, and / grew
impatient. The constant succession of
successes on every trial Of the ship had
strongly biased me in her favor and /
dreaded that at this crucial test jour-.
nal might heat, or something else go
wrong. / was excited and Mr.. Scott
noticed it.
What's your hurry, admiral? What
are you excited about?" he asked.
Mr.
swered, why are you not excited? The
breaking of a ten cent bolt may cost
you hundred thousand dollars"
Yes" he answered, II fully realize
it; but it isn't going to break. / know
them all personally" A. Beards!ee
