Egyptian sculpture with that of the
Greeks, we do not find anything like the
perfection or beauty so well known and
appreciated by the latter. In the first
place the religion was detrimental TO tho
realization of q high art, while at the
same time it was the prime cause for its
very existence Exact representation
was the one object for which the Egyp-
tian sculptor strove. Beauty, ugliness
indifference were all the Same to him.
The statue must be so exact that the
'ka" might recognize the likeness to the
body. we have fine example Of THIS
in the Scribe at the Louvre in Paris.
This statue shows admirable workman
ship, but there is nothing edifyin3 CT up
lifting in the subject. A person could go
out on the street any day and see tina
same thing in real life. When the artist
is thus confined to simple copying he Is
deprived OF the power to produce the
IDEAL. For this reason we find very little
progress in Egyptian sculpture from first
to last. Indeed, we find that artists often
went back to the works of their prede-
cessOrs for models; not as we go back to
copy the works Of the masters but mere
ly to get subjects to reproduce.
It is not, however for her statues that
Egypt Is most valued in art, but for her
architecture 1t was here that artists
were allowed to follow their own ideas,
and, in fact, they did arrive at some
thing like beauty. Architecture seems
to have been of two classes; a memo
rial for the dead or an honor to the
gods. OF these two types, the pyramids
and the temples of Luxor and Carnak
are the best representatives. Our readers
will remember that Egyptologists have d.
vided the art periods into three groups
the ancient empire ranging from the first
to the eleventh dynasties, the middle
empire, from the eleventh TO the nine
teenth, and the new empire from the
nineteenth to the thirtieth. Egyptian

WHAT THE ANTIQUITIES OF EGYPT
HAVE DONE FOR MOD
Erin ART
EXPLANATION GIFTS STABILITY
In Comparing It's Sculpture With
That of the Greeks, Neither the
Perfection Nor Beauty L.
Found.

Written for the Globe.
First and foremost among our relics Of
ancient sculpture are the antiquities Of
Egypt. Nearly everything has its begin
ming on a small scale, but In the products
Of Egypt, at least, we have q departure
from the common rule. The chief wonder
of Egyptian art is the grand size of Its
specimens. The people OF that country,
when they first turned their attention
toward sculpture, seemed to have recog-
nized the fact that magnitude creates
awe. At first they were incapable Of pro-
ducing the desired effect merely through
the beauty and expression of their ere,
ations so they adopted the not unnatural
method Of making size do duty for true
artistic skill.
While the magnitude Of some of tho
Egyptian creations Is liable to startle one
at first, yet when the popularity Of the
ancient religion Is understood, the great
ness becomes less surprising. The old be-
lief that the ka, or spirit, could survive
only as long as the body, or image there
Of, endured gives a natural explanation
Of the existence of the statues; the de-
sire for durability accounts for the use
Of stone as a building material. while the
human weakness for renown and lasting
glory on the part of ambitious kings.
gives satisfactory reason for the mas
siveness of the structure? The wonder.
then, IS not the cause for their existence,
but how the resources and labor could be
found to accomplish such stupendous re-
suits Taking Egyptian art as a whole.
we find that no general rule with regard
to size has been observed. We find
statues ranging from the Scribe" which
is perhaps a Hitler smaller than life
size, to the great statues of Ramesis H.,
which are seventy feet high. The only
Inference we can draw is that the build
crs made the images as large as their
means afforded. We know, however,
that the earlier periods produced tho
larger specimens.
Now, as to value. In comparing

thousands of dollars. but at that time
1T was but tribute to the dead. Thus
among other things we owe the art Of
gold working to the Egyptians.
Wood carving also was not unknown
for we have pictured upon the walls of
some of the burial places highly decorated
furniture and also pictures Of carpen-
ters in the act of making chairs In
this sort of decoration animals play q
considerable part. The feet OF chairs
and thrones are usually limitations Of
animals.
Now in glancing at all that art has
contributed towards the education and
culture Of mankind we must note one
thing in particular, wherein Egypt has
dlstanced all rivals. Strange as it may
seem she Is the only one Of the ancient
empires that has preserved through her
art the fame of her kings. Rome boasts
Of her warlike Gao sar; Greece of her
terrible Hannibal; but It is for Egypt
to point proudly to her temples and py-
ramids, with the knowledge that she
alone has achieved her greatness through
/ the pursuits Of peace The art of Greece
IN It's supremacy still strove for a higher
ideal. The art of Egypt strove merely
to preserve her history, and 1t succeed
ed Thus an example has been given
to the world which will scarcely ever be
equaled. Egypt will remain the art gal.

ties; that Of the fourth was the period
In which the great pyramids were built
as We'll as some Of the larger statues.
Egypt reached the height of her power
in the eighteenth dynasty, and 1t is to
this period that we owe the great temDles
Of Thebes. Carnak and Luxor To a
later period Of this dynasty belongs the
temple of Amenophis Ill, of which moth
ing IS now remaining but the two col
lossal statues to that king To the next
dynasty, the nineteenth, belongs the tenn
pie of IpsambOul. built by Ramesis H.
Next comes the period of the Obelsks.
These seem to have been common from
the nineteenth to the twenty-sixth dynas-
ties. They are Of various sizes, from
sixty to Ito feet in height. The ObeIisks
are like all the other specimens of arch

and figures. The inscriptions are gener-
ally very crude. Most of the figures.

so called pictures are mere collections Of

were always made to support some thing
so that they did not present a lonesome,
useless appearance. The typical
Egyptian supports are of two distinct
kinds-lOtus-hea and the bell shaped.
There are a few earlier forms in the
shape of a quadrangular pier. All Of
the columns have either a square or
circular base. When we come to the
Greek art We find traces Of contact with
the Egyptian. The lotus pillar, for in
stance was copied almost in It's entire
ty. Thus we must not think that Egypt
because she hourished so long ago has
had no influence in the advancement Of
later art. She was the pioneer in the
architecture which we see adjoining our
buildings today. Ceiling decoration had
its origin among the people dwelling on
the Nile. The various kinds OF uniform
geometrical abstractiOns so popular to-
day are but borrowed from earlier times.
The ancients were also far advanced in
ornamental art They were renowned
glass workers, for we. find among the
relics of their tombs highly decorate
jugs and vessels of various kinds Their
crockery was usually figured over with
symbolic animals or other figures. Here,
too, the lotus flower was a favorlte de
sign. In making small ornaments gold
was the material most commonly used, as
it was very plentiful in Egypt. A good
illustration of this art is the pectoral or
face mask of Khaemuas, son of Ramesis
II. This mask today would be worth

on the Pinder Ridge preserve, the
afternoon was spent In arranging his

OF the killing OF a bag full OF Bobwhites
encouraged him in bright anticipated
sport to follow.
The hunter passed up the road early
Saturday morning for the hunting
grounds, and nothing more was heard
or seen OF him until the middle OF the
afternoon, when he returned in a sweep
ing gallop through snow and cold, gun
in hand, two dogs following at his hcels,
no doubt In quest OF fire. 1t is reported,
but no proof OF it, that partridge and
