GREAT SPHINX DECAYlNG.

A gentleman Just returned to London
from Egypt brings the statement that
the great sphinx shows signs of decay
as a result of the irrigation schemes i'm
troduced by the British. This ancient
monument, hoary with the dust of des-
ert and ages, whose origin is lost in the
silent pages of antiquity, is ut last

in South Africa the British have just
transformed the political complexion of
that end of the continent. This leads
the T.-R. to muse on the power of the
.A~nglo-SaNon. American and British. At
his touch crowns crumble, dynasties
cease, nations reform and civilization
reigns. He is the mightiest civilizing
force on this mundane sphere. The con-

continents With iron tracks and space is
annihilated; the mountains are no
longer insurmountable; he delves into
the bowels of the earth and secures all
her riches: the ocean, once a terror to
mariners, is a short waterway for his
big ships.
1t is true he has not yet mounted the

The great sphinx. the silent guardian
of the pyramids, is the work of other
ambitious hands, whose hopes and aims
are lost to the world. Who is there to
mourn for it's decadence? Not one.
Recently, in Italy, the campanile. a de-
tached belfry or tower belonging to st.

able relic of other centuries, collapsed
and fell into utter ruin. But it is to be
rebuilt in it's ancient s%plendor. h dis
patches of yesterday state that the sum
of 100000 has been raised to recon-
str,,ct it. The race that built the
sphinx and erected the pyramids is too
far extinct to even send a ghost to
plead that it be saved from the hand OF
decay. 1t is at last to yield to the de-
,-astating hand of time.

HE 0 OF 1851.

In the Annals of Iowa for July Taci-
FMS Hussey tells the story of the flood
Of 1851 in Iowa, an account OF when
makes the present wet period take q

but in 1851 it reached the extraordinary
amount of seventy-four- and a halt
inches, OF more than twice the normal
amount. cit will be readily seen" says
Mr.. Hussay, that more than six feet OF
water fell upon the earth's surface in
five months, in addition to the melting
cl heavy SHOWS in the spring. Fortu-
rately al that time the state was
sparsely settled and the damage done to
property was much less thar that of the
present year.
Mr.. Hussey shows that the waters of
the Des Moines river We're higher in
1851 at lies Moines than the late flood.
The west part of Fort Des Moines suf-
fered but little loss, the place being
small and mostly on high ground. Bush
ness was completely paralyzed. Ac-
cording 20 the best accounts gathered
from the old settlers, the rains Were al
most inc,essant from early in May until
about the middle of July, and three
times during the season the waters
broke beyond the banks of the river, in
each instance adding gloom to the situ-
alton.
Another feature of the period of 1Si9-
SO was the excessive rainfall of these
years. They were respectively fifty
nine, fo1ty-nine, seventy-four and a
half, forty-nine and forty-tive inches,
the excess above normal for h period
being over 100 inches or about nine feet
OF water over the entire state.

In Il paper ON earthquakes n vol
canoes in the August Century, Mr..
James #. Kemp. professor OF geology
in Columbia University, writes as fol-
lows OF this progressive department OF
science:
Earthquakes come suddenly, and peo-
pie are apt to be so agitated as to be
poor observers. They are also unable
to determine the directions and inten-
sites of the motions. Various instru-
nents have therefore been invented to
accomplish this. The simpler ones
consist of a series of cylinders or
blocks in rows at right angles to each
other, which, having bases of different
sizes, viii: be upset by shocks of diff
~iferent intensity. and by the direction of
their fall in a bed of soft sand give
a clue to the motion. Liquids, espe-
cia.ly quicksilver, in basins with holes
at various heights will wash UP and
down in particular holes, and thus give
indications. Pendulums may be set
swinging in different planes. n so on;
one may readily |apprehend the scope
of these devices.
In more serious attempts the great
objects are to obtain, first, records of

intensity of the shock, and, third, of the

If one or more instruments can be con-
structed having a heavy weight so
supported that it will remain relatively
unmoved while recording plates rub

it is connected with a clock by Some
electric or other attachment, all the
main objects may be approximately
obtained. These are the general prin-
ciples OF seismographs; and by heavy
pendulums, by inverted pendulums. by
brackets at right angles, and by ingen-
ious acknowledgements which themselves
may move by clockwork, very good
data have been secured. They all show
that the oveme of any particle in
the earth are exceedingly complex and
difficult to follow.

The Second district. Dave still has too
vivid a recollection of his experience
with the political buzz saw last year."
The Ottumwa Courier is not alarmed
ever reported crop losses. 1t notices
that Iowa is a state of vast area, with
considerable leeway for local damage.
and, considering the good condition of
crops thruout the state in general, there
is no cause for alarm as yet concerning
the conditions in Iowa"
The Cedar Rapids Republican in
dulges in these reflections: Making
assessments for taxation may be styled
the competition in perjury. In this the
individual is apt to fare better than the
public corporation, for the individual is
apt to fix his own assessment while that
for the corporation is made by the other
fellow and by a fellow who is anxious to
be strong at the neX election. But
perhaps corporations ought to be made
to beau a little heavier burden for the
simple reason that they have certain
powers and certain exemptions which
oo not belong to the Individual"

In noticing that Attorney w. w.
Baldwin urged the claim that other cor
rorations than railroads have been
cvading taxation, particularly in Des
Moines, the Council Bluffs N%onpareil is
moved to say: Yet, interesting as
these facts are, they do not constitute a
valid argument for a low assessment of
railway property by the state executive
council. These errors in assessing the
property of other corporations than
RAILWAYS should be the occasion of re-

In IOWA

For the Times-R Republican

Woodbine, July 2O.-Down IN the
bottom opposite his town is q field of
corn, or more correctly stating it, two
weeks ago was a 10 acre field of corn.
Today three acres only will produce q
crop, the overfiowed land being the
death of King Corn. What makes this
case all the more ~aggravating. is that
the owner was offered $40 an acre spot
cash this spring for this farm.
A former employee of one of the big
mail order houses in Chicago, recently
told the writer that this referred to big
retail-wholesale house explained last
year $4,000 in Iowa alone. in the way
of printed catalogues and postage. This
firm has got it down so fine, that they
have the names n postotfice address
of nearly all the farmers on the rural
delivery routes in Iowa, and presum-
ably of other states. John Jones on
rural route No. 4, NeXtown, Iowa, gets
apparently a personal type written let
ter. soliciting his trade, and calling at
tention to the catalogue forwarded in
this mail. And John Jones, farmer,
"Sorter swells up when he realizes

trade. So John sends in an order for
five pounds of nutmegs actually saving

Another good thing too, Jones thus lays
in a supply of nutnegs that Will last
the family even unto the third and

We are told thai Governor Cummins
is receiving many letters these days,
asking him to interfere and prevent the
legal execution of men in Iowa now UNI
der sentence of death. And only last
week one of our district judges in Civ
ing a criminal the full sentence allowed
by law publicly stated that he expected
the mar would not serve out his time,
as the governors of Iowa in the near
past, had, in neary every case over
which he had had jurisdiction, either
paroled or pardoned them before the
prisoner had served out his full time.
Without indicating any n of the five
cases, in which the convicted criminals
are under sentence of death in Iowa,
the writer has personal knowledge OF
the feeling in three of these communi-
ties where. the crime occurred, TO the
effect that if Governor Cumnlins thinks
best to change the sentence of death to
life Imprisonment, i'm those particular
communities, upon the commitment OF
future similar crimes. the county Will
be spared the expense OF a murder
trial. Just now there is less of a mob
sentiment in Iowa than usual, but
Gov. Cummins and his successors, can
easily bring back to Iowa mob aw and
its prompt execution. by allowing the
proceedings of the legal judge and jury
to be set aside. in response to the SEN
