THE COLOSSUS OF RHODES,
One OF the Ancient seven Wonders
of the World.

The ~ancicnts succeeded In making
that alloy of copper which is known as
bronze. Among the seven wonders Of
the world was the famous statue, Who'll
ly made of bronze, historically known
ms the colossus of Rhodes. 1t repre-
scented Phnbus, the national deity Of
the Rhodians. 1t was begun by Chares,
a pupil Of Lyslppus, the sculptor, and
was completed by Laches 2SS b. G.
The popular belief is that 1t stood
astride the harbor of Rhodes, that 1t
was 105 feet high and that ships could
easily sail between its legs.
Piiny said that few men could clasp
its thumb. 1t vas cast on metal plates,
afterward Joined together. and this
process occupied twelve years. In the
interior was a spiral staircase reach
ing into its head, and In n great mirror
suspended to Its neck were reflected
the coast Of Syria and the ships sailing
to Egypt.
After 1t had stood for slxty-four
years this colossus was overthrown by
an earthquake, and its remains lay on
the shore for 923 years-that is, until
A. ID. ~612-when they were sold by the
Saracens to q Hebrew dealer. The
original cost was 800 talents-say. &c..
000. OO0-and 1t is not too much to say
that a similar image might be con
structed now In o~ne-fourth OF the time
and Mt one-thlrd of the original cost
Rhodes, by the way, must have had
colossus On the brain, for Pllny relates
that the port was adorned with 1000
colossal statues of the sun.

Count Bonl de Castellanc's first duel
when he had just come from school.
Lad as he was, he could ride, shoot and

young, very bashful, rather green. At
the club to which he had just been adj
mitted some of the men, whom life
made cynical, began to guy him. 1t

struck one Of the men The next day

he selected two good clubmen as his
seconds. In all this the club fellows
saw only a joke, and when the ar
engagements were hurried and the two
opponents stood face to face In n mead
ow near the Seine the pistols were
loaded-wlth blackened bread crumbs.
"onc, two, thrce!' They fired to-
gether. The clubman gave a great cry
and fell TO the ground grooming.
Hes fatally wounded-dying" the
seconds exclaimed, choking with laugh
ter.
De Castellane felt the heart in him
run away like water. lie had killed a
man. II was not possible!
'Dead?" he asked .anxlously.
"Yes," said the corpse and sat up
grinning.
The schoolboy looked at the laughing
clubmen and saw the joke they had
played on him. He stopped. and caught
the corpse by the ankle, dragged 1t a
bit and with n sudden jerk tossed 1t
ten feet into the river.
"Then I'll bury It," said he.
AS the clubman crawled from the
river, dripping mud and water, they de-
cided the joke was on hlm.-Saturday

In the Complies Rendus Of the Paris
Academy OF Sciences NJ. Koenlgs has
printed a sketch OF a general theory Of
mechanisms. Every machine consists
Of a number Of material bodies, re-
sistances, Joined together reciprocally,
upon which natural forces act to pro-
duce q desired effect, and the effect
may be either a state Of rest or one Of
motion. The resisting bodies and their
connections are the mechanism. Its ef-
feet is not known until we define the
acting forces. The same machine will
produce different effects according as
different forces play upon II.
Machines are subject TO three ef-
fects-static when the forces produce
equilibrium; kinetic when the result Is
motion. and. finally, associative when
the connections Of the machine are
changed. The latter effect Is usually
not considered, but It is essential to
take 1t into account. A machine could
pot be built, in the first place, unless
It was capable Of dissertation. In some
machines-locks, for instance-the parts
are ASSOCIATED every time the appa-
ratus operates. 1t Is desirable to de-
sign most machines, however, so that
the associative effects do not come in
to play during their operation.

Miscries and IrrItntions Incident
Upon Ills start In Life.

Anthony Trollopc's start in life was
unpromislng. AS he knew no Ian
guages, ancient or modern, he became
classical usher at a school In Brussels.
with the promise Of n commission In
the Austrian army, Then he was sud
denly transferred TO q clerkship In the
London p%ostotiice. He was disqualified
for the new position by general lgno-
rance and special incapacity for the
simplest arithmetic. A vague threat
that he must pass an examination was
forgotten before 1t was put into execu.
ton, and TrollOpe enthusiastically
takes occasion to denounce the system
Of competitive examination by which
he would have been excluded. Mean
while he was turned loose In London
and attempted to live like n gentleman
on 600 a year. The results are indlcat-
ed by n couple of anecdotes.
A money lender once advanced him
"a. for which, first and last, he paid
f200. This person, he says, became so
much attached to him as to pay a daily
visit TO his Office and eXhort him to be
punctual. ''These visits were very ter
rlble and can hardly have been of serv-
Ice to me In the office" This mild re-
mark applies also TO the visits from the
mother OF a young woman in the coun-
try who had fallen In love with him
and to whom he 'lacked the pluck to
give a decided negative" The mother
used to appear with n basket on her
arm and an immense bonnet upon her
head and inquire In n loud voice be-
fore all his companions, Anthony
Trollope, when are you going to marry
my daughterr'
No wonder that he was miserable.
He was hopelessly In debt and often
unable to pay for q dinner. He hated
his work, he says, and he hated his
idleness; he quarreled wSsh his supe-
rlors, who thought him hopelessly in
capable and felt that he was sinking
ito the lowest pits" At last he heard
Of n place In the Irish postotlice which
everybody desplsed and was successful
on applying for 1t, because his masters
were glad to get rid of him. At the
same time they Informed his new supe-
rlor that he would probably have to be

Beware Of the Cold Bath.

The cold bath In the morning is not
so popular rs 1t was formerly. There
is much energy expended in the re-
action and just at the time Of day
when this energy Is at its lowest ebb.
Then. too, cold water has very little
cleansing effect. Very hot water
stimulates the nerves, which is the eff
feet that we are seeking from the cold
water, while 1t does not demand the
energy Of reaction Of the latter. The
duration Of the morning bath should
he as short as possible-hardly longer
than the mere application Of the water
TO the skin, followed by a brisk rub
bling. However. many prefer a cool
sponge bath In the morning, and IL
this is followed by a warm glow and a
feeling Of well being 1t certainly is
beneficial. Many people are not strong
enough to react well. A hot bath at
night Is most cleansing and restful.
General bathing must he regulated by
individual pec~uliarities. Emma Il.

.. To Judge an, Opal. eFF1ssz

spey- To d an opal. sTldTrT
EAn expert on opal mining has recent.
unexplained how the opaliis judged as
t~otquality and desirability. First, he
says, color Is of the greatest impcr-
tance. Red fire, or red In accumulation
with yellow. blue and green, are the
best. Blue by itself is quite yalueless,
and the green opal is not Of great value
unless the, color is verysvivid' and the
pattern very good. The color must be
true-that Is to say, 1t must not run in
streaks or patches, alternating with n
colorless or inferior quality.
Pattern is described as being an i'm
portant factor, the several varieties be-
known as pin fire" when the grain Is
very small, harlequin" when the color
is all in small squares, tho more reg
ular the better, and the flash fire. or
flash opal" when the color shows as a
single flash or in very large pattern.
Harlequin is the most common and Is
also popularity considered the most
beautiful. When the squares Of color
are regular and show as distinct, mi.
mute checks Of red, yellow, blue and
green, it is considered magnificent.
Some stones show better ON edge than
on top.
