EGYPTIAN LANGUAGES.
Forthcoming Dictionary Compiled by
Berlin Academy of Science.

Philadelphia Ledger.
A brief dispatch from Berlin con-
veys intelligence which will thrill the
heart of every scholar. 1t announces
the near completion of Professor En-
mans monumental "Dictionary OF
the Ancient Egyptian Languages" a
work endowed by the Kaiser, com
piled by the Berlin Academy OF
Sciences and aided in no small de-
gree by the best American eruditlon
Professor Erman, the editor is easily
the foremost Egyptologist Of the
world, though he has toiled in a field
wherein there has been friendly con-
tention for many years among the
scholars of France, England, Ger
many, Italy and America.
The field has been so fertile that
the forthcoming dictionary is credit
ed with containing 100000 words of
subjects. We shrewdly suspect
that the cablegram has confused the
Egyptian word with the ideogram,
which is only a picture o. pictorial

average Italian of the present day.

not satisfied with the general appeal,

we cannot help knowing unless we
wilfully close our eyes. Some things
we know Of our own state. We know
that 1awlessness is increasing; that

have become so common that it is al

be committed in South Carolina is
the crime of murder; that courts are
not always faithful and just; that
theircjuries are not always true to
their juries are not always true to
grade their high calling; that bribery,
fraud and the use of intoxicating IL
quors as a potent influence in Our
primaries is becoming more and more
common; that the majority of the
homicides in Our state during the past
two years were committed by men
who were either under the influence
Of liquor at the time or whose moral
sense had been debauched by indul-
gence in liquor; that the state for the
sake OF revenue fosters a system
which makes it easy for men to be-
come 1awless. All this we know, but
merely to know is not enough; our
knowledge must be Gin all discern

discern his relation to all these things,
that he may do his full duty. AS an

make for unrighteousness, if the
Christian people of Our state will

AS to the wheel and its origin there

that it must have been prehistoric:
others, that dense populations, fixe
roads, and great traffic called it into
being. The wheelbarrow was found
in China. The cart was found III

The house, now occupied by the cI-
gazette factory, situated in the street
known as Puente Alvardo, has a re-
markable history. The house is easy
to find, as it stands back in semi
circle. At the time of the iuterven-
ton when Macmillan arrived it was
handed over to Marshal Bazaine, and
probably Macmillan stopped here for
a considerable period. After the death
of Macmillan in 1866 il was closed for
period of thirty-threc years; en-
trance was rigidly forbidden, and not
until 1899 were the windows thrown
open and the few last remaining relics
of the intervention scattered among
the antiquity dealers.

old Spanish colonists from the Biscay
district. 1t is a very long building

by the deep red of the old bricks.

THE NEED FOR EXERCISE.
Golden Opportunity for Those Who
Possess Inventive Skill.

Wanted, by the millions, the ever
increasing millions, who must lead
sedentary lives. an interesting exer-
else"
IN these words a writer in the Sat
urday Evening Post voices the popu-
lar cry for an exercise that shall be
more perfectly adapted TO the needs
of men and women who cannot lead
outdoor lives. Such an exercise must
be one that does not take up too much
time, one that is not an end in itself,
one that makes the blood circulate
and yet does not create a lot OF ex-
cess muscular tissue which is useless
IN ones daily vocation.
The increasing popularity of golf in
this country is gratifying expression
OF the popular trend toward healthful
relaxation. Links are rapidly multi
plying all over the land. The pas
time is interesting to most persons.
fascinating to many. 1t takes men
and women into the sunshine and the
pure air OF the country. Equally fas-
cinating To others is lawn tennis, a
vigorous game that leaves no muscle
or tendon unused, developing alert
ness. suppleness and strength.
But neither of these forms of eXer
else is available in winter, when ex-
ercise is most needed by those who
lead sedentary lives. An effort to
take the mental eXhilaration and mus
crlar activity OF the lawn tennis
court into the home during the long
winter evenings resulted in the game
of ping pong" but most people
agree that it is a poor substitute for
the real thing.
While the bicycle affords an exer
else that is of great benefit, taken in
moderation. the objection urged
against ii is that il does not bring the
upper part Of the body into activity.
1t is true that it quickens circulation
and accelerates respiration, but it pro-
Nides no exercise for the trunk" Of

HOW RUBIES ARE MADE.
Mixture Of Clay and Oxide Of Chromium
Said to Produce Good Results.

Said to Produce Good Results.
Artificial rubies are made by proc
ess of the chemist Verneuil by melt
ing a mixture of clay and oxide OF
chromium at an even temperature OF
several thousand degrees, reports
Counsel Richard Guenther from Ger
many. The two substances are care
fully placed above each other in lay
ers, so as to prevent cracking in the
crystallized mass.
II is stated that Verneuil finally sue
ceeded In producing an artificial ruby
weighing five pounds, which had q
value of about $500. From this price
1t may be judged that the product is
not first class, and probably just pays
the costs Of manufacture. In order
to produce the exceedingly high tenn
perature which is indispensable for
success. Verneuil uses blast of oxy-
hydrogen gas, which acts directly on
the mass from the top. The hardness
OF the ruby is the result of quick cool
ing caused by sudden interruption OF
the blast OF oxyhydrogen. The artifi-
cial ruby is said to be very pure and
brilliant, possessing all the physical
properties of natural rubies. 1t can
be cut, and takes very fine polish.
In view of these assertions it seems
singular that artificial rubies have no
higher value. especially as the natural
article is so exceedingly high priced
at present.
