Statue of Rameses II.

Among the many colossi with which
Rameses II adorned the different
temples throughout Egypt there is no
more characteristic representation OF
this mighty ruler of the desert, ac-
cording to our own ideals formed
from our historic knowledge of him.
than the mighty colossus of Memphis,
which now belongs to the British ma
ton.
Raised from its Nile bed, where it
has lain face downward for centuries,
reposing calmly beneath the waters
of the sacred river save at the dry
season, when it became visible until
the inundation again buried it, it now
rests high and dry above all dangers
of high water, on heavy pedestals OF
stonework.
Originally this figure stood on one
side of the great doors of the magnifi-
cent temple of Pthah, the ancient god
of universal life or artisan of the
world, which temple Rameses II fur
Their enriched with the colossi. There
is but little evidence remaining of this
temple, save great mounds of decay
ing and crumbling granite and con-
glomerate.

Parrot Race Exterminated.

Ornithologists will regret to learn
that Buildings amazon parrot, a rare
bird inhabiting the mountains of St.
Vincent, has in all probability become
extinct, owing to the recent volcanic
phenomena in the island.
The species was said formerly to
occur only on the Souffriere, hence it
became known as the Souffriere bird.
The great eruption of lib drove
many specimens to seek shelter in the
other highlands of st. Vincent, but
their numbers were considerably re-
duced by the fearful hurricane of 1898,
and there is no reason to fear, so am
told by an pathological friend, that
the few survivors have all persisted in

A Versatile Tree.

There are by careful computation
about 300, 900 900 cocoanut palms in
the world in full bearing, and certain
ly no tree that grows yields so many
different products or is put to SO many
separate uses. Its wood is used for
buildings and for boats, as well as for
ornamental furniture. The leaves are
the sole thatch of tens of thousands
of buildings and afford useful food for
cattle. The natives also make good
brooms with the ribs of the leaves,
while the ashes contain so much pot
ash as to be useful in soap-making.
From the trunk of the cocoanut
palm oil barrels, tubs and water pipes
are easily produced. and the roots
give a red dye The fibers make
ropes, mats and even paper. The kerr
mel of the nut is the main food of sew
eral millions of human beings, whose
most nourishing drink is the milk.
Cooked and evaporated, the kernel be-
comes the commercial cocoanut of the
confectioner. Pressed, it yields cocoa
nut oil-one of the most important
of commercial oils-used in cookery,
for soap-making and for candles.
Cocoanut oil soap will produce a

rosin are yielded by the same tree,

Peoples, 1000 Year. Old.

The extraordinary resuscitating
power of light received a very curious
illustration few years ago in the si,-
yer mines at Laurium. The mines
had been abandoned more than 1000
years ago as unavoidable, and con-
sisted for the most part of "slag"
produced by the working of the
miners. An enterprising Briton dis
covered that the mines contained
plenty of silver which could easily be
removed by the superior modern ap-
pliances. He discovered, however,
something more valuable than the sill
ver-viz-, some peoples of a species
which had disappeared for twenty CEN
turtles, the seed of which had lain dor
mant beneath the Stag for 1000 years.
When the Stag was removed to the fur
mace the next visit to the mine found
the entire space covered with a most
gorgeous show of peoples. After their
twenty centuries rest they had
bloomed as vigorously as ever, with
out the aid of a single drop of water,
or any restorative other than the rays
of the sun.

HOW DIAMONDS MAY EXPLODE.
Cases in Which Only Ordinary Degree
of Heat Is Necessary.

Cases in Which Only Ordinary Degree
of Heat Is Necessary.
1t has long been known that dia-
monds, especially the class known as
rose diamonds" are likely to explode
if subjected only to what would seem
very ordinary degree of heat, such as
strong rays from the sun, etc. 1t is
now believed that the explosions are
the result of the rapid expansion of
certain volatile liquids inclosed in cavi-
ties near the center or these precious
stones. A great many diamonds, even
though cut, mounted and worn as gems
of perfection, are still in an unfinished
condition-that is, the liquid drop from
which the stone is being formed has
not as yet deposited all of its pure
crystals of carbon These movable
drops may occasionally be seen with
the naked eye.
When this is the case, a strong mi
croscope will give the drop the appear
ance of a bubble in the fluid of a
carpenters level. 1t is also highly
probable that besides the liquid men
toned these cavities may contain
gases under great tension. This being
the case, one may readily comprehend
Row q very small amount of heat
would cause the liquid and gas to ex
pand to such a degree that the dia-
mond would give way with all the
characteristics of a miniature explo

by contributing half a dollar each to

sterling silver, appropriately designed
with figures of the Goddess of Liberty,

figures. Along the upper part of the
