Three Famous Statues.

The three most famous statues
\ history are the Colossus of Rho
les. the Sphinx and the vocal
statue of Memnon at ThebeS, and of
these the last is the most remarkable.
N consequence of its property of emit
ting sounds when its lips were touched
by the rays of the rising sun SO that
it seemed to greet the coming day. 1t
was originally portrait model of
King AmenOphis I'LL. and was one
Of pair of statues between sixty and
seventy feet high. carved out of single
blocks of sandstone and transported
from the quarries to ThebeS. whereas
the Sphinz was carved from the liv-
ing rock in stu.
OF statues other than stone the most
remarkable is that of Buddha at Nara
near KiOto in Japan, which was erect
ed A. D.. 100. 1t is made of bronze
and is fifty-three feet six inches high
and more than twenty-eight feet broad
across the shoulders. On it's head are
e66 curls. and the image is surrounded
10y a glory or halo seventy-eight feet
in diameter, on which sixteen images.
each eight feet long, are cast. Two
smaller images. each twenty-five feet
high stand in front of the larger one.
The total weight of metal in the main
figures is about $50 tons, of which 500
pounds consists of gold.

The Cuban Gold MYTH.

If we listen TO the voice of the
charmer, or go to the books on Cuba
for our information, we shall find that
the mineral resources of this island in
clude gold, silver. mercury, lead, an
timony, copper, chrome, iron, man.
ganese, pitch, bitumen, and even coal;
but when we come to look for prac-
teal metallic results commensurate
with these varied mineral resources
we shall be disappointed.
The gold fiction is the most time
honored, for the original Spanish
settlers expected to find rich gold
mines in Cuba. According to their
historians much gold was taken from
this island at the beginning of the con-
quest but it seems probable that
most of this was taken from the chiefs
Or caciQues of the Indians and very
little from the ground. "El Viagero
Universal Madrid. 1897, Says-"some
Of this metal gold is still found at
Holguin. Whenever the existence of
gold in Cuba is discussed this mine
1T HOlguin is invariably brought for
ward. 1t is true that some work has
been done at this point and-a little gold
has been extracted. but there has
never been any systematic exploration
and there is nothing there which may
be dignitied with the name of a mine

Rayages of the Shin Worm.

The ship worm has caused the loss
of more vessels than were ever des-
troyed in war. In tropical countries
this worm penetrates the timber of
vessels and eats away the wood until
there is only a shell left, which will
crumble at a slight blow. Large
beams. apparently sound, after re-
moval from vessels, after the outside
crust has been broken, have been pull
I'd to pieces by the fingers. During the
last century an East Indiaman docked
in London crnmbled to pieces when
the supports were placed underneath
and the water removed.

GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

The theatre goers of Washington
are to be congratulated that the
vaudeville programmes being put on
at The Grand Opera House eyery
week have no superior in any house
IN New York city. The managers of
The Grand are thoroughly conversant
with all the very best acts i'm rhe
vaudeville, and are not afraid to paw
any price in order to secure the most
eminent artists in the profession.
They have under contract single acts
which run but thirty minutes for
which they pay $1,000, and it is no
unusual thing for them TO pay $500 for
single act; IN fact, it is rather the
rule than the exception. 1t might not
be out of place to mention Some of
the artists preeminent above all 9th
ers who will appear in this popular
house during the season. Marie
Dressler, Walter Jones, Pauline Hall,
Annie Russell, Minnie Dupree, Isa-
bel Urquhart and Milton Mobiles.
A nong those who will appear the
week of March 9th are Mr.. and Mrs.
Sidney Drew, who w II be seen in one
of their one act farces, which have
created for them in the world of
vaudeville, both an Europe and Amer
lca, a reputation second to none.
Maude Courtenay, "who sings the
old songs" by her unassuming and
refined ways has become one of the
celebrities, aud will be heard in songs
that appeal to the heart. A genuine
circus act on the stage will be Wal
berti, whose horse Dahl is almost hu-
man, while both novel and entertain
ing. I. ]. Farron, late of Baker and
Farron, is comedian of merit. Hell
en- Tuesart, a comedienne and vocal
ist, late OF the Hotel Topsy Turvy
company. The Three Renosin, an
acrobatic and dancing speciality.
Marion and Dean in a military sketch,
and Name Gerhu, dancing special
lst, who will round up an excellent
program. Matinees will be given

THE DANGEROUS NAUTILUS.
Interesting Account of This Pretty Bnt
Poisonous Marine Creation.

Interesting Account of This Pretty Bnt
Poisonous Marine Creation.
G. f. Holder gives an interesting
account of his experiences with the
physalia, the nautilus-like denizen Of
southern waters, which floats on the
surface with its trailing fishing lines
extending far below. The balloon, or
float, is from five to six inches in length
delicate sac filled with air, and tinted
with many beautiful hues among
which purple, pearl and pink predom-
mate. One end is elongated like a
finger, and along the dorsal surface
extends ruffle which can be raised
at will. and becomes a perfect sail,
richly tinted in red, yellow pink and
silver. When the animal is at rest the
membrane is furled; at other times it
is raised two or three inches, and,
catching the wind, drags the tentacles
at an angle of forty degrees to the sur
face OF the water. These are purple,
hair-like objects. which look very
beautiful, as crinkled and curley, they
drift through the water. But woe to
the unfortunate fish which, attracted
by their bright appearance, touches
them. He is instantly inclosed by the
tentacles and stung to death with q
thousand darts. The tentacles are
covered with minute bombs, resemb-
ling an elongated capsule. in the inter-
ior of which is the dart, thread with
branching points on either side.
But this is not the entire armament
of the physalia. The coiled dart or
lasso floats in liquid poison Of great
power, of the effect of which Mr..
Holder speaks from personal expert
ence. He was swimming in five feet
of water, when he passed over the
tentacles of large physalia. The SEN
Sation as the purple thread wound
around the abdoman and thigh was OF
molten lead being thrown upon the
6esh, and the shock was so great that
he had to be assisted from the water.
They tried vainiy to rub off the blue
mass with cloths, and then with
knives, and finally a razor was used.
| The flesh was raised as in burn, the
mass of darts apparently eating in
to the flesh, The case became alarm
ing, and a fatal termination might have
resulted had aid not been at hand.
One singular symptom of the shock
was an obstinate asthmatic condition,
which made breathing almost impos-
sible. 1t was several weeks before the
wounds were completely healed, and
even twelve months after the flesh had
the appearance of having been tat
tooed in fancifu. designs of blue India
ink. OF all the So-called ''stinging ami
mails" found in the sea, the beauti-
full Physalia is probably the most
dangerous.
