much pleasant light upon the musty.
old traditions of the ancient land.
Strabo. now; he's the worlds
earliest geographer and historian, or
ono of 'em, and suppose we are
bound to believe him, even when he
says che must have said 1t, for I've
never seen any of his handwriting

the Christian era Chats an awful long
time. Strabo; but I'll not dispute the
word Of a gentleman) Seti cut a canal
81 miles long from Bubastis near the
present town of Zigzag-I mean Zaga-
zig to Heroopolis. at the head Of the
Bitter lakes, then forming the north
ern extremity of the suez gulf
erodotus-another old-timer who
juggles with centuries as the circus
clown juggles with his old hat-says
that 800 years later Necho the Persian
tried little canal building. keeping
at 1t till the mere trifle of hundred
and twenty thousand lives had been
sacrificed in the job, and only aban-
doning 1t when the great oracle of that
day (whom he consulted) prophesied
that the most dire results would fol-
low the completion of the work, and
the entire land Of Egypt be given over
to the stranger and the barbarian.
Then, successfully. the Roman en-
perors Trajan and Hadrian; the
Arabian conqueror Amron: the great
Napoleon, who held the hollow of the
Heavens in his usurping hard; Me-
hemet Ali. who had butchered 400
Mamelukes before supper, but had not
the daring to brave the ancient
prophecy; French engineers, English
engineers. Austrian engineers, each
and all, tried their hand, but to no
definite end. They disagreed as to the
level of the two seas. Napoleon's en-
gineers estimated that the Mediter-
ranean was 80 feet below the level of
| the Red sea. calling for a scheme of
sluices and locks. Waghorn. an Eng
lishman, declared that the level of the
two waters was identical.
Meanwhile, young Frenchman was
dreaming dreams; he was eloquent;
he was convincing; and he finally
convinced Said Pasha that the future
was lettered big with the name of
| uC 4<CoSSpos IL SOh-
cession were given to him, he would
make Egypt and France both immor-
tai. He got the concession. Said
cared nothing for the ancient oracle
that had frightened his grandfather
Mehemet. and SO Fate swept on with
her relentless broom and Said was
gathered to his fathers; Ismail the
magnificent, the extravagant, prince
of immense fortune, succeeded his
uncle and also succeeded in plunging
his unhappy country up to the neck
in bonds and mortgages galore; Eu-
rope stepped in; England became the
purchaser of Ismaifs personal hold
ing (only $20000,000 saved from the
wreck of $S5,OO0,OO0 which he sur
rendered to his creditors short time
before his dethronement and banish-
ment to Naples.
Ismail not only incurred, in his brief
rule Of 16 years. debt of over $780,
100000. but he nortgaged the souls of
generations of Egyptians yet unborn.
And thus did the prophecy come
true! The ancient oracle spake not in
vain. The land of the Pharoahs and
the Ptolemies. of Alexander and Cleo
patra. has passed into the hands Of
the stranger.

PICTORIAL MAP OF DENVER.
Shows Important Buildings So That
They Can Be Easily Recoe-

They Can Be Easily Recog-
nized.
The new map of the city of Denver,
copies of the original drawings of
which have been on exhibition and
which have attracted much attention
because of the careful and accurate
portrayal of the city, has just been is
sued from the office of the Bird's-Eye-
View Publishing Company of this city.
The map, which is a pictorial repre-
sentation of Denver, looking south
from the Twenty-third street viaduct
and printed in eight colors, is one of
the most complete, accurate and artis-
tic representations ever made of any
city. Every building is SO carefully
and accurately pictured that no one
living in the city need have any diff
Guilty in finding on the map the exact
house in which he lives.
In the downtown sections the prin-
cipal buildings are so faithfully por-
trayed that they can easily be recog-
nized from their appearance, but for
the benefit of those who are unfamiliar
with the city, the names of several
hundred of the principal hotels. bus
mess houses, schools, churches and Of
flee buildings are designated on HE
buildings themselves. In addition to
this there is marginal index, with
thirty-two reference figures at the bot
tom and top of the map and all the
letters of the alphabet at the sides. BY
the aid of these about 500 of the prin-
cipal buildings and points of interest
in the city can be located in the short
est possible time.
The work is done in several co!ors,
SO carefully selected and placed that
the perspective of the city is brought
out in the best possible manner, con.
sidering the extent of the undertaking..
The map Is in reality huge picture of
the city.
In the margin are found thirty-four
photographs Of the most important
buildings and places OF interest in the
city. including the new auditorium, the
state capitol. the union depot, the
Union stockyards and the City park
The picture map is printed on a sheet

Weld County Petrified Forest,

Greeley. Colo.-Scientists say it is
evident that the land in the vicinity
of Willow creek, forty miles east OF
here, was the site of large forest in
prehistoric times, from the many pet.
rified stumps, limbs and knots of trees
lying about. The country was little
visited until workmen on the reser.
voir brought to this city beautiful spec.
linens of petrified wood found there
in large quantities. In that vicinity
are also found rare agates.
