SECRET OF THE PYRAMIDS.

a Brooklyn engineer of note. who spent
several years in Egyptian exploration.
Is Of opinion that the mystery Of the
Pyramids has been solved. The most ex-
traordiuary pictures showing 100000 men
hauling ON rope to raise a 200 pound
stone into its proper niche near the PIN
nacle of old Cheops is familiar to all OF
us. Theories as to the mode of con-
struction are legion. But all the en-
cheering logic and experience 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
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 tho catacombs. The
old saw-a workman IS known by his
chips-is no better than a workman is
known by his tools our Brooklynte
says that the tools are not those OF rock
masons, nor mere plasterers' implements
for filing the cracks between stones. but
are plainly the crude Egyptian plant of
operatives engaged in mixing and laying
cement. What a splendid patch Of sand
they had as foundation for their
cement
Cement Is the coming building material.
Railroads are renewing their steel, iron,
and stone piers abutments, culverts, etc,
with IT, and it Is expected to last forever.
No great skill is required in manipulate
ing II. There are no chiseling hammer
ing, dowelng, no heavy lifting with DER
ricks. no mistits. The industry has al
ready grown to enormous proportions.
Drop sack of dry cement to the bottom
of a river, and in a few minutes you
have solid stone that will never wear
away. Drop 1000 sacks on top OF 1t and
around it and presently You will havs
a foundation that will sustain for all
time million-ton bridge.-From this

THE HEALTH OFFICERS SCHOOL

The progress made by Vermont in mat
tiers of sanitation and health has attract
ed favorable comment in neighboring
States, but there are not few citizens
of our own state who do not appreciate
, what has been accomplished in this direc-
ton. If we go back only decade, how
ever, We shall realize that we have adj
vanced materially during that period as
a result of the work Of the State board
of health and the State laboratory OF
hygiene. We have to go back only com
paratively short period to reach time
when we had no health officers organiza-
ton and no State laborat tory. Now we
have both and each of them is In -four
ishing condition.

the annual school of health ofncers held


under the auspices Of the state board OF
health, the sessions of which are now in
progress in Burlington. The subjects dis
cussed by authorities in their respective
lines involve the public health in pub
lie buildings such as schools, az we'll as
the surroundings and conditions of the in
dividua and the information brought to-
gether in this way is valuable to the
general public as well as to health OH
GERS and other physicians.
Through the operation OF this system
each community in the State represented
at the officers school receives direct bene-
fit. The local health officer is brought into
direct contact with the leading authori-
ties on the different subjects considered,
and given the benefit of careful instruc-
jtion as to the method of procedure
in different emergencies that are
likely to confront him in the course of his
service. Tho officers Of the State board
of health are deserving OF commentator
for the zeal and efficiency they have
shown in connection with this branch Of
their work. and the public in general Is
under obligation to them for the way in
which they have promoted the cause of
sanitation and health.

A RINGING ADDRESS TO VOTERS.

The STATE republican committee have
issued a stirring appeal to the voters
of Vermont which is reproduced else
where in this issue. This address to
the intelligence and patriotism of the
people of the Green Mountain State
OF the issues involved IN the State
campaign now begun so auspiciously
by the republicans. 1t shows just
what measures have been taken under
republican administration to promote
the civic progress and economic devel-
opment of our people; and outlines the
objects which the administration of
Fletcher u. Proctor will hope to ac
compllsh. 1t shows how clear and un-
equvocal is every platform pledge made
by the republicans and under these
circumstances there can be no doubt
as to what the republican Legislature
will undertake to do and what it will
not undertake to do in relation to the
matters discussed.
The candidates for the different
State officers are spoken of at length,
and no unprejudiced person can read
the record with Indifference. The com
mittee well says in closing its appeal
to the voters of Vermont:
1--WE counsel the people of Vermont
that integrity Of purpose. fidelity to
high ideals and jealous regard for the
interests of all Nermonters as eXcm-
plifed in the life of Fletcher -. Proc
tor and personilled I'm all the candi-
dates nominated at Montpelier on june
20 1906, is far more to be desired thar
all else and we appeal with confidence
to the intelligent voters of Vermont
to rebuke at the polls in most mas
terly manner the presumption Of ig
norance and vcnality IN our electoral,
which is the bulwark and basis o.
the Clement propaganda and by an ole
time republican majority declare thcil
respect for the past, their regard fol
the present and their confidence in the
future honor and integrity OF our be
loved state
