THE COLOSSUS or RHODES

One of the Ancient Seven Wonders
of the World.
The ancients succeeded in making
that alloy of copper which Ia known as
bronze. Among the seven wonders of
the world was the famous statue, Who'll.
~ made of bronze, historically known
as the colossus of Rhodes. 1t repre-.
sented Phnbus, the national deity of
the Rhodians. 1t was begun by Chares,
a pupil Of Lysippus, the sculptor, and
was completed by Laches 2SS B. c.
The popular belief Is that it stood
astride the harbor Of Rhodes, that it
was 105 feet high and that ships could
easily sail between its legs.
Pliny said that few men could clasp
its thumb. 1t was cast on metal plates,
afterward joined together and this
process occupied twelve years. In the
interior was Q spiral staircase reach
ing into its head, and in great mirror
suspended to its neck were reflected
the coast Of Syria and the ships sailing
to Egypt.
After it had stood for sixty-four
years this colossus was overthrown by
an earthquake, and its remains lay on
the shore for 923 years-that Is, until
A. d. 672-when they were sold by the
Saracens to Hebrew dealer. The
original cost was 300 talents-say, &c..
OO0, O00-apd 1t is not too much to say
that a similar image might be con-
structed now III one-fourth of the time
and at one-third of the original cost.
Rhodes, by the way, must have had
colossus on the brain, for Pliny relates
that tho port was adorned with 1000
colossal statues Of the sun.

CUBANS ARE IN A HURRY.
Want the United states Congress to
Act ON Constitution This
Session,

DR.. Horatio Rubens, one of the com
mission appointed by the war depart
ment to revise the Cuban code. has
arrived in Washington after many
months absence in Havana. Accord
ing to DR.. Rubens, it is the hope of
the Cuban constitution-maker that
they will complete their work in time
for the United States congress to act
upon the constitution during the pres
ent session. If it shall appear con-
clusively that there is no hope of oh
tanning this last result. then the work
of the convention probably will pro-
ceed with more deliberation.
The most difficult problem which yet
remains to be solved, according to Dr.
Rubens, is that of suffrage, the lead
ers seeming to be pretty closely di-
vided between the two broad PROPOSE
tions of absolute free suffrage and
restrictions based on educa tonal and
property qualifications.

DESCRIBES BIG SEA SERPENT
officer of British Steamship Anapa
Gets Close to "A Monster in strakts
of MaIncca.

According to the private log of the
third officer of the British steamship
Anapa, that vessel on November 13
passed in dangerous proximity to, a
snake which. according to his reported
dimensions, came very near complying
with the tabled dimensions of the
mythical sea serpent, sight of which
monster has been often reported, but
whose capture has as yet not been
made matter of record. As the story
told by the Anapas officer goes, the
monster sighted in November was at
least so feet in length, of a dirty brown
color all over with the exception of his
neck, which was of lighter hue. II
was in the Straits of Malacca that the
reptile was seen.

DRIVES AWAY MOSQUITOES.
CnAtOr oil Plant Proves EHectuaI
Against the Presence of the
Little Pests.

in view of the fact that it generally
is accepted that mosquitoes are more
or less responsible for malaral and
yellow fever, it is interesting to know
that remedy against mosquitoes has
been found which is inexpensive, but
If employed will not add to the beauty
of the cities. 1t consists in growing
castor oil plants or 'palma christi"
around the houses and premises. On
this subject Consul Plumacher, al Mar
acaibo, says:
"A simple remedy against mosqui-
ties has been employed in several
places in South America and is equal
ly well adapted to the temperate zone.
1t consists in growing the castor oil
plant. In cold and temperate climates
the castor oil plant grows to height
of four or five feet; in these coun-
tries it becomes tall tree and is per-
ennial
ut seems that the smell of the plant
is diSagreeable to mosquitoes and
other insects, and it is an acknowl-
edged fact that where these plants
grow few mosquitoes will be found.
My personal experience bears this out
My residence is surrounded by
plantain and banana trees, and / have
been n"ch troubled in the past by
the great number of mosquitoes which
gathered between the leaves. Follow
ing the EXAMPLE of old settlers in the
country, ! planted the castor seeds,
which grew up in profusion, and there
are now no mosquitoes to be found
among the plantain and banana trees,
although | keep the ground well ir-
rigated BY keeping branches and the
seed of the plant in rooms, the mos
quitoes are driven away from the lat
ter.
"There are several varieties of the
castor oil plant, In this country there
are two-one with brown nuts and the
other white in color, with a kernel
tasting like a fresh almond"

LIVES IN MAGNIFICENT STYLE

Head of Defunct Globe
Corporation.

Few millionaires in England or
other countries live in such princely
style as Whitaker Wright, the NOV

Globe group. In London he has a
miniature palace, in Park lane, in the
drawing-room of which is a copy of
the famous cabinet Du Roi of Louis
XIV. 1t took three years to complete,
and cost many thousand pounds. At
Godalming he owns country seat
worthy of Monte Cristo, which 600
workmen are now engaged in beauti-
flying. 1t contains costly fountains
and statuary brought from Italy
Wright's stables alone cost small
fortune. They have upholstered oak
and leather settees and polished gun
metal fittings. while valuable paint
ings and bas-reliefs adorn the stalls.
His private yacht is fitted up with sim

had to be of the best. To crafty
this desire there was no stint in ex-
