SECRET OF THE PYRAMIDS.
American Engineer Says the Tools

American Engineer Says the Tools
Found Explain Construction.
Brooklyn engineer of note who spent
several years in Egyptian exploration is
of opinion that the mystery of the pyra-
mids has been solved. The most ex-
traordinary pictures showing 100000
men hauling on a rope to raise a 200,-
OOO-pound stone into its proper niche
near the pinnacle of old Cheops is IA
miliar to all of us. Theories as to the
mode of construction are legion. But
all the engineering logic and expert
ence of to-day and for the last 100 years
have failed to cast more than a shadow
over the mystery. Piazzi Smith thought
he knew all about it, but nothing Of a
practical nature has come of his re-
searches.
1t is singular that our wise men did
not think of examining with critical eye
the tools found in the catacombs. The
old saw-a workman is known by his
tools. Our BroOklynite says that the
tools are not those of rock masons nor
mere plasterers' implements for filling
the cracks between stones, but are
plainly the crude Egyptian plant of OPP
eratives engaged in mixing and laying
cement What a splendid patch Of sand

ment
Cement is the coming building mate
rial. Railroads are renewing their steel,
iron and stone piers, abutments, cul-
verts, etc, with it, and it is expected
to last forever. No great skill is re-
quired In manipulating it. There are
no chiseling, hammering, doweling, no
heavy lifting with derricks, no misfits.
The industry has already grown to
enormous proportions. Drop a sack
of dry cement to the bottom of river
and in a few minutes you will have a
solid stone that will never wear away.
Drop 1000 sacks on top of it and round
it and presently you will have foun-
dation that will sustain for all time a
million-ton bridge.-New York Press.

WHERE PRESIDENTS REST.
What to Do with Bodies of Chief
Executives Is Question

Whnt to Do with Bodies of Chief
Executives Is a Question.
The proposal of the descendants of
Andrew Johnson that the Federal gov
eminent should take his last resting
place as a national cemetery of the
fourth class suggests a new obligation
to our Presidents. What shall we do
with our ex-Presidents has long been
familiar topic of after-dinner discus
sion wherever any surviving members
of the craft have gathered. says the
Boston Transcript. What to do with
the bodies of our Presidents has not
before become a national question. A
wholesome sentiment directs that their
graves should not be neglected. The
efforts which are expended abroad
upon memorials to distinguished rulers,
notably the Albert memorial in London,
the grave of Napoleon in Paris, the
Pantheon in Rome, to say nothing of
the pyramids, contrast noticeably with
the democratic simplicity which has
allowed so many of our Presidents to
lie in the country graveyards where
the fathers of the hamlet sleep"
Three stages are already apparent
in American practice regarding the last
resting places of our Presidents. Seven
et them lie in what was originally pri-
'ate grounds Of their old-fashioned
estates, in accordance with the custom
of their time. These are: Washington
at Mount Vernon, which is visited By
thousands Of tourists annually; Jeffer-
son at Monticello, Jackson on q part
of the Hermitage near Nashville; Polk
in the garden Of his home near the
same city; Taylor in the Taylor fam
lily cemetery, FIVE miles from Louis
vile, Ky, which is part Of the old
farm where he was born. and Andrew
Jackson. whose remains have rested on

Why Ice Floats I'm Water.

Water is the sole exception to the
otherwise universal law that all cool
ing bodies contract and therefore In
crease in density.
Water contracts as its temperature
falls. and therefore becomes heavier
and sinks until it reaches thirty nine
degrees. At this temperature water is
the heaviest This is the point of its
maximum density. From this point II
begins TO expand. Therefore in winter,
although the surface may be freezing
at temperature of thirty-two degrees.
the water at the bottom Of the pool
is six or seven degrees warmer.
Suppose that water. like everything
else, had gone on contracting as il
cooled until it reached the freezing
point. The heaviest water would have
sunk to the lowest place and there be-
come ice. Had the water when at the
bottom turned into Ice. the stones
would have locked II in their inter
stices and held it there, and before the
winter was over the whole pool would
be entombed in clear, beautiful crystal.

Bignall, two Adventures, who claimed
possession by occupation. At the time
of the laying of the British Pacific
cable an agreement was reached be-
tween the British and American gov
ernments By which the former ac-
quired the sovereignty.
The Tanning group is of coral foun-
dation, being the caps of peaks of a
submarine range of mountains, having
general direction of from northwest
to southeast. Tanning Island is really
composed, of three islands grouped
around a lagoon. Its general shape is
that of an oyster. English Harbor is
at the western end of the southermost
island. Here is located the cable sta
ton and the settlement. Melville Island
has an area of more than 1000 square
miles. At its greatest breadth 1t is
about 10 miles across, and its greatest
length is about the same.
Anticosti Island, at the mouth Of the
St Lawrence River, which was pur-
chased for $125,000 by NJ. Henri Men
ier the chocolate king" a few years
ago.. is about half the size Of Melville
Island NJ Menier soon found that he
was not king" in his island, for the
British government interfered when he
attempted to raise the French flag and
give the impression that 1t was the
territory of the French Republic. 1t
remains, however, that as owner Of the
island he has sufficient power to gov
ern it very much as he chooses.
Although the proprietor of Anticosti
has already spent almost 100000 on
his improvements, it Is admitted he has
bargain. The lobster fisheries are
considered Of great value; the enor-
nous forests of spruce trees are alone
worth the money, and in addition to
this he has a fine game preserve,
which, with party of friends, he Wis
its every year.-Montreal Star.
