amount of surplus or debris that lies
buried under the overblown sands.
The Egyptian were also skilled in
quarrying rectangular blocks, as is
shown by abandoned quarries in up
per Egypt, and the stones of the pyra-
mids do not show any dressing signs
or tool marks and the perfect joints
were made by rubbing. They did not
blast or use methods in those days
which would produce any considerable
quantity of waste material.
Snofrui, the father of Cheops, is un-
derstood to be the builder of the pyra-
mid tomb of MEDIUM, as well as the op-
orator of the copper. turquoise and
other mines in the Sinaitic peninsula.
All of the tools found in and around
these mines are of flint. Some of the
explorers are of the opinion that from
the wonderful tunnels and drifts here
found metal tools must have been
used, even though no trace of such
tools can be found. The quantity and
variety of flint tools here found Slow

pyramids flint tools had not gone out

A lava sea of 100000 square miles
in extent and upward Of 1000 miles
deep is not usually thought of as form
ing part of the United States, yet
nearly the whole of Washington, Ore
gon and a large part of Idaho was
once overrun by such sea of molten
rock, the widespread remains of which
form most of their surface to-day
Into the ancient lava beds the rivers
have cut profound canons several
thousand feet deep, some of which,
notably that of the Snake, even rival
the Grand Canon of Colorado, except
in brilliancy of rock coloring Between
the rivers on the upland plains the
country is a series of rolling plateaus
on which the soil is thick and rich.
Here is the great wheat-growing coun-
try of the northwest, large areas being
particularly adapted to agriculture.

Again, the record shows 600 talents
of silver ($2,00O,00O) were expended
for turnips, onions and garlic, while
there are no items for tools or ma

workmen furnished their own tools

were built Egypt had not passed out
of the stone age and Mycrenos. the
builder of the third pyramid, is cred
tied with the discovery of geometry.
This briefly outlined view of the
mode of construction does not detract
from the wonderful conception of the
pyramids or from the magnitude of the
work. but rather adds to the wonder.

as one of the wonders of the world.
All that this explanation accomplishes
is that 1t does away with the supposed
appliances necessary to the building Of
the pyramids from the base upward
with the transportation problems, ex-
cept for the granite blocks, and the
hauling and handling of such enor-
nous quantities Of stone, while it re-
lleves us of the uncomfortable sus-
picion that the world has lost much

solid central cores. with exterior ma
sonry of a greater or less depth and in
various places of unequal depth.
The presence of granite blocks dress
ed and undressed does not afford any
particular negative evidence, for large
FURNISHED blocks are found in the
Temple of the Sphinx, which is an ac-
knowledged excavation in the native
rock. Maspero says that the walls of
the Chephren temple had solid lime
stone cores, like those of the Sphinx,
seven feet and ten inches thick.
The Apis tomb contains in one
chamber twenty-four sarcophagi for
the sacred bulls. calculated by meas
rrement to weigh seventy tons each,
which were carried in through exca-
waited drifts or tunnels and located in
a manner which would puzzle modern
engineers, but whether the granite
slabs of the pyramids were taken up
through the known passages or
dragged up the hillside by capstan and
rollers, as mentioned by Herodotus,
and the passages subsequently walled
in, as some of the passages undoubtedly
were, the presence of granite blocks or

slabs in the interior does not initiate
against the idea of a solid interior
cone. The interior passages could
have been more easily excavated than
formed during the progress of the
work, and afterward lined or faced as
at the opening, where there were de-
fects. All OF the larger pyramids show
tunneling in the acknowledged native
rock, beneath their bases.

more or less accuracy on sun lines,

THE NINE PYRAMIDS OF cTzEK

trinkets, coins, Scarubs, rides to
"Sphincus," etc, in such numbers that
one could neither hear. see nor think.
If could have heard basso profundo
or even a baritone | might have been
tempted to purchase something or have
been more inclined to dole out bak-
shish. This terrible annoyance pre-
vented me from making useful exam
nations and it was not until | passed
over to the restaurant. where these
people are excluded, that | could gaze
at the wonderful structure with any
satisfaction.
The first thing that ! noticed was
that the four pyramids were in line
and at right angle with the abrupt
front of the Libyan hill. The next was
that the apics of all were on the same
level or horizontal line; that the diff
ferences in height related to their
bases and not to their tops. Cheops is,
in fact, slightly lower in altitude owing
10 the loss of its apex, while those of
Chephren and Mycrenius are intact.
The fourth one on the top and back
not usually mentioned. According to
Maspero's plan there are three of these
little pyramids, all in transverse line.
The north one is in line with the great
ones.
The next thing that attracted my at
tention was that the varying thick
nesses In the courses of stone in the
pyramids corresponded with the strata
of the Libyan hills was too far away
TO determine this with certainty, but
from where stood the weather beaten
strata of the hills seemed to coma
around through the pyramids with
mathematical accuracy. The sand from
the Libyan desert has blown over so
that the lower strata of the hills and
those of the pyramid bases were not
observable, and this sand drift inter-
feres sadly with an understanding of
the original structure OF the Sphinx
and its temple, but there is enough to
show that the Libyan hills at some re-
mote period formed shore line for
some body of water, and that narrow
tongue, with steep faces, ran out from
the hills into the valley at the same
level as the hilltop. leaving a small bay
or cove on the south side. in which
was an island and the Sphinx block a
sunken rock. 1t may be that the ridge
was cut by water action, so that it
formed a line of island points which
were afterward dressed into pyramids,
as the distances between them are un-
equal
The next thing worthy of considera-
ton is that the ancient Egyptians were
skilled In working rocks in stu. The
weather-beaten and sand-blasted
Sphinx confirms this and adds the tes-
timony OF one rock to their skill in
this direction, while the Apis and other
tombs at Sakkara add additional
proofs, and It enforces the probability
OF the suggested mode OF constructing
pyramids, which is that in making
them they began at the top and as
they went down quarried the mate
rials at the levels where they were
used.
II will be seen at glance that this
mode OF construction disposes OF many
of the transportation problems and OF
the supposed tremendous lifting ap-

Lifting by Magnets.

A1It1NS ny 0EnetS "
The most important employment Of
the magnet in the mechanical indus
tries is in lifting and handling such
masses Of metal as ship plates, boiler
plates and parts Of machines which it
would otherwise be difficult to get hold
of. It effects an average economy in
time and cost Of handling, stacking,
loading and unloading Of from SO to Is
per cent.
To meet the possible danger that
from any cause the current from the
dynamo might be cut off, causing the
magnet to drop its load, 1t is usual in
well appointed plants to install a stor-
age battery, which effectually guards
against such accident. In handling
billets and material Of convenient
shape a number Of pieces may be pick
ed up at one time. The same is true
Of thin plates.
The type Of magnets used in most
American works has a lifting capac-
ity Of five tons. 1t makes a stranger
nervous to see them at work, and he
generally does not need to be reminded
that unless his life is insured at it's
full value he would do well to stand
from under. But sings and chains
break under loads quite as often az
