Weight of Queens.

Among the queens of Europe, Queen
Margaret of Italy, in spite of her
mountain climbing, is the heaviest.
She is said to turn the scale at IT'S
pounds, although she looks much
slighter. The queen Of Spain weighs
LAT pounds; the queen of the Neither
lands takes fourth place with lao
pounds, being a few pounds heavier
than TIE queen of the Belgians. The
German empress has reduced her
weight, which was an anxiety to her
to 1874 pounds, and the czari2a, at 12e
pounds, is the lightest Of all. The
tallest princess is the Crown Princess
of Denmark, who is well over six feet.

NOTED TRAVELLERS.
Two Sisters who Have Made Many Trips
to tho Holy Land.

Two Sisters who Have Made Many Trips
to tho Holy Land.
Living at Cambridge, England, are
two of the most noted women travel
ers and students of the century. Mrs.
Agnes Smith Lewis and her sister, Mrs.
Margaret Gibson, are twin daughters
of the late John Smith, lawyer, and
Biblical scholar, and from him they in
herit their love of research. Mrs.
Lewis and her sister have made many
trips to the Holy Land and have added
much in the way of priceless manu-
scripts discovered and copied BY them,
in the history of the early church.
Mrs. Lewis writings and original re-
searches in ancient Syrian manuscripts
have won a world wide reputation for
her. Her latest discovery is the Sy-
riac Palimpsest, which gives to Biblical
literature the Syriac gospels of date
not later than the fifth century. Schol-
ars concede this to be the most ancient
copy of the scriptural writings extant.
A famous old German university has
seen fit to honor Mrs. Lewis with the
degree of doctor of philosophy, honora
causa, and this is something to cause
remark, for conservative old Halle has
only honored one other woman in Its
whole history. In comforting the de-
gree it is said, it is in token "of the
high esteem in which the authorities
held her learning and splendid scien-
tific attainments." The faculty gives
the following four specific reasons for
honoring Mrs. Lewis First-Finding
the Syriac Palimpsest; second, COM
pleting the translation; third, discov-
cry of the Palestinian Syriac Lection
airy; fourth, editing the dictionary
with the assistance of her sister.
