FINDING OF ROSETTA STONE.
Priceless Gem Once in the Possession
ct the French.

ct the French.
In the summer of 1898 Alexandria
fell into Napoleon's hands, and he set
to work to make the coast secure. One
August day, in 1899, it CHANGED that
one of his engineer officers, Andre
Boussard, was directing the digging
operations for a new fort between the
town of Rosetta and the sea, when
the picks Of the sappers struck
black slab of basalt, As inches long,
which was observed to be covered
with three different styles of writing,
of which the last was obviously
Greek. When this stone was carried
up the Nile to Cairo, and shown to
Napoleon and his savants, the value
OF it was recognized at glance.
While it lay in readiness to be con-
veyed to Paris, British force made
its way to Egypt, laid siege to Alex
andria, and captured the city In 1901.
In the treaty of capitulation the VIC
tors insisted upon the delivery OF all
the monuments collected, and among
them the slab, which was known as
the Rosetta stone. This had been
chosen by the vanquished Gen. Me
nou as his own, and was carefully
wrapped in cloth and mating at his
house in Alexandria. Hither one day
Turner was sent by his chief with q
detachment of men, who carted 1t
away, amid the jeers Of the French
officers, and put it aboard a frigate.
whereon the colonel conveyed it with
care to the Thames. Thus one March
day in 1908 the relic reached London
1T is to-day one of the priceless
gems of the British museum.

ALL WERE UNDER SUSPICION
Incident of ELIMINATION of Body of
Beethoven.

Incident of ELIMINATION of Body Of
Beethoven.
An interesting communication with
regard to the last examination Of the
body of Beethoven, some twenty years
ago, is made in the Neue Fret Presse
by Herr Wilhelm Stiassny, who was
present at the ceremony as a repre-
sentative of the city of Vienna. When
the metal coffin was opened the eyes
of the silent circle of reverent spec
tators who stood around were at once
riveted on the wonderful skull, which
anybody would have recognized at
the first glance as being that Of the
great composer" A doctor VINO was
present preferred the request to be
allowed to make some genealogical
measurements After some discussion
this was agreed to, and the coffin was
removed to the cemetery chapel. It
was then discovered that tooth was
missing from the number that had
beer counted at the previous disinter-
ment in the sixties. 1t was at first
thought that one of those present had
yielded to the temptation to possess
himself of a somewhat grim relic OF
the immortal composer, and for some
reason or other suspicion fell on "a
highly respected parsonage" 1t was
only when the examination was con-
cluded that the missing tooth was
found in the bottom of the coffin. No
suggestion is made as to whether 1t
had dropped out of it's socket through
the process of decay, or been restored
by guilty hands under the influence
of remorse.

The revival of interest in canal con-
struction brings actively to the front the
question of a proper motor for them.
There has been an immense amount of
ingenuity expended In devising these,
and it would seem that every possible
form had been suggested and expert
mented with. Among these methods
We're:
1. Pumping the water in at the bow
and forcing it out at the stern.
2. Spoke wheels which caught upon
the bottom of the canal and 'poled
the boat along.
3 Devices in the shape of umbrellas
which opened and closed and pushe
the boat along.
4 Chains lying along the bottom
the canal and operating over sprock-
ct wheel on the boat
The trouble with all of these is nc
the question of their prope!ling power
or of the waves that they themselves
make. but the canal is so narrow and
the boat itself occupies so large por-
ton of it that the motion of the boat
cannot help making waves which in
crease rapidly as the speed increases
and thereby destroy the narrow banks
A boat is generally at least one-half of
the total cross-section of the canal, and
as it moves it must push one-half of
the water in the canal out of its way
and necessarily make waves much 1arg-
er in proportion than those created by
boat in more open water.
The tendency of late has been to use
electricity as a canal propeller, and
device called the electric mule was tried
very successfully for some months on
the strip of canal between Dayton and
Cincinnati, o. 1t consisted of a small
electric motor running along the tow
path on a track. 1t failed eventually
by the failure of the company which
was operating it.
Owing to the dissatisfaction of the
German merchants and manufacturers
with the management of the railroads
by the State. there has been a great in
crease of canal traffic. The Government
officials cannot adapt themselves to the
wants of trade as private individuals can,
and consequently business men are turn
ing more and more to the rivers and
canals. On some of the rivers especially
the Rhine. where the current is very
rapid. the chain idea has been success
fully used and gives satisfaction. Goods
are sent much more cheaply. certainly
and expeditiously by these boats than
they can be by railroad.
They are now taking up the electric
mule idea with a motor devised by the
eminent engineers. Siemens and Halske.
The use of it SO far has been quite sue
cessful. and gives hopes of obviating
some of the difficulties attendant. 1t
has proved very much cheaper than
horsepower for towing boats. and it is
believed that its use will bring an i'm
mense accession of traffic to the water
ways of the Empire. Probably some
form Of this will be used in propelling
the boats upon the great barge canal
which New York is now constructing
