r ONDON, Feb, lO.-Later details

modelled in London only five years ago.
1t was, of course, under the deluslon
that this statuctte had been presented

the relic has occupied a place Of hon

II was about four years ago that the
Royal United Service institution started

Nelson relics. Several Of such had been
secured when this silver statuette OF

THE WORLDS ANTIQUITY.
Proofs Of Remarkable Civilization at
Very Early Period.

From the London Telegraph.
So far as the question of time is con-
cerned 1t deserves notice that not merely
geology, but almost every form Of inquiry
into the past throws further back the linn
it's usually assigned.
Egypt for instance, is continually fur
nishing fresh proofs Of the antiquity of
civilization. Professor Flinders Petrie ex-
pounded at Owens College. Manchester,
England, few days ago the results Of re-
cent explora tions at Abydos, in upper
Egypt, from which it appears that the ruins
at that one spot tell a continuous story tina t
carries US back to 5000 B. c. Abydos was
the first capital of Egypt, and remained for
forty-five centuries the religious center, the
Canterbury Of the land; and there the
Egyptian exploration fund has unearthed
the remains of ten successive temples, one
over the other From the age of the first
temple group of about 200 objects has
been found which throws surprising light
on the civilization of the first dynasty. A
part of large glazed pottery vase of Mena,
the first king of the first dynasty. about
400 B. c., showed that even then they
were making glaze on a considerable scale,
and also inlaying it with a second color.
The ivory carving was astonishingly fine,
figure of a king showing subtlety and
power of expression as good as any work
of later ages.
At about 1000 B. c. an ivory statuette OF
Cheups, the builder of the great pyramid.
was found, the only known portrait of him.
Making every possible allowance for the
marvellous rapidity Of art development.
must not many thousands of years have
rolled over between the pristine jewellers in
the Nile valley and the men who carved
ivory statuettes and manufactured glazed
work inlaid with second colors? 1t Is d
long. long march from flint implements to
tho solemn temple ivory statuettes and hu-
man portraits.

American Wines.
from the Portland Oregonian.

From the Portland OTegonlah.
"Is it true that California wine is shipped
to France and shipped back to America as
French wine?" was asked by an Oregonian
reporter of A. M. Barral of Paris and Bor-
deaux, France, who Is at the Portland,
having come to America as the representa-
tive of a French firm of wine merchants.
NO. it would not pay. The same quality
of claret which is produced in California
at a cost of 30 cents a gallon is produced
wine made California makes good port
and sherry, because it has strength, but it
lacks the tartnesS of French wines, and
the growers import wine stones, which are
blocks of tartaric acid, to give it this prop
erty. Then the production of California is
a mere drop in the bucket. 1t produces only
26,OO0,00O gallons a year. while in our Gis-
trict of France alone We make 42,0oO 900
hectoliters, one hectoliter being twenty-four
gallons"
"Can champagne be made in America to
equal that of France?"
1T is not, because Americans will not
use the expensive processes to produce the
sparkle. The sparkle is gone cut of Ameri-
can champagne In two minutes, but II
keeps bubbling up in French champagne
for half an hour after 1t Is poured cut The
reason is that a Frenchman thinks he is
making a good profit at 5 per cent per an
mum, and can borrow money at the banks
In Paris at "a per cent. An American
wants to turn his money over three or four
times In year. and make per cent each
time; If he cannot do that he will nut il In
something else. A wine merchant In San
Francisco bet me that he had exported
wine to France. We went to the eonsuls
office to find out and he had shipped just
two caska."

taking preparation for modern war. Its
statesmen knew that sooner or later the
nation would have to establish Its title TO
outlying acres or be submerged under the
multiplying weight of its own millions. And
these astute diplomats under the mikado
had learned from Christian nations that
military eonquests and plausible programs
of benevolent assimilation must precede
the promulgatio of claims to any coveted
domain. Thus, for years in Japan the con-
dition of the agricultural industry has ad-
monished the men of destiny at the head
of affairs to modernize the army and navy
so that. when the opportunity should come.
Japan could extend its dominion over por-
tons of arabic Asia.
