HOW THE PYRAMIDS WERE BUILT
Theory That Explains Expenditure Of
Time and Labor.

No one has been able to decide how
the enormous stones in the pyramids
were handled; for, even allowing for
the vast army of men, some sort of
mechanical continuance must have
been used.
One theory is that as each course
of stone was laid sand embankment
was built around 1t with long, easy
slopes so that the stones for the next
course could be pushed on rollers
and slid into place, without any actual
lifting, and SO on. the pyramid being
in fact buried as fast as 1t was built,
until the top was reached. when the
stupendous job of removing the sand
embankment was commenced
This might account for the vast
army of iaborers used; TO instance,
1t is said that In building the great
pyramid of Cheops 100000 men were
employed for 80 years. although the
quarry from which the stone was oh
tanned was nearly 5000 feet from the
pyramid.-Engineering Magazine.

MIsTooK noNGoTE CHALLENGE
FOR FRIENDLY ADVANCE.
Accepted Offer Of Fish, Which Sig

MANILA, April 13.-The party recently

the murder by Ilongote tribesmen of DR..
William Jones, a noted anthropologist
connected with the Columbian Museum
in Chicago, has recovered the valuable
collection made by the scientist during
his two years stay among the wild men
of the interior. The specimens will be
sent at once to the institution in Chicago.
Members Of the party learned addi-
tional details OF the tragic death of DR..
Jones. 1t appears that he had been
warned that trouble was in store for him
and had started to leave the country
where. he had been studying the natives
at close range.
He returned to the headwaters of the
Cagayan river to secure boats in which
to carry his collection down the river
and unwittingly crossed the deadline that
had been established by hostile Ilongotes.
He was met by a party of warriors
who offered him a dish of fish as a
token of defiance In accordance with
tribal custom. Not suspecting that he
was accepting their challenge by so do
ing. he ate the fish and was attacked
Immediately. The warriors wounded him
many times with their spears. but he
managed to fight them off with his re-
volver until he reached boat, in which
he escaped.
Dr. Jones was so severely wounded that
he died five hours later, and his body
was rescued from the river by friendly
IlongOtes A native servant also was at
tackled at the same time. but escaped
unintured, saving the scientists revolver.

SHOWED UP AND WITHOUT FOOD
TRAIN PASSEN-
GERS MARooNED.
Stuck on Top Of Continental Divide
and Train May Not Move for
Several Days.

DENVER, April 13.--Seventy- pas
sengers who left this city Sunday morn
ing last for a trip over the Moffat road
are marooned at Corona. at the summit of
the Continental divide. with nothing to
eat but the limited amount of foodstuffs
in shipment in the express car.
The primary cause of the blockade is
the derailment of snow plow sent out
to clear the track of huge drifts caused
by Sundays snowstorm.
A train load Of laborers started to the
rescue yesterday, but according to reports
they are stalled in the snow several miles
this side of the passenger train. fifty
mile gale was blowing on the main range
yesterday and work had to be suspended.
The derailed snowplow is now buried In
the snow. 1t Is thought that it. will be
several days before the blockade can be
lifted In the meantime the passengers
and trainmen are eating what they can
get from the express car and sleeping in
the day coaches of the train.>
1t is also reported that the passengers
who left Steamboat Springs. the western
terminus at present of the Moffat road
Wednesday last for Denver. are still on
the road, their train being stalled at
Fawn creek.
The people along this line depend upon
the daily shipments of supplies from Den
yer, and unless the road is opened soon
there will be real scarcity Of provisions.

GRANVILLE, N. Y. April 13.-In a
rock slide which occurred at the Owens

and several injured. Present reports are
that it will be at least twelve days be-
fore the bodies of the men can be recov-

being a Hungarian holiday. the quarries
had not been worked since last Saturday
afternoon. otherwise the men would have
noticed the rock working loose and would
not have gone to work until the danger
had been removed.
The scenes about the mouth of the quar-
ry pit this morning were heartrending,
as the wives Of some of the buried men
were crazed with grief. and had to be held
back by force or they would have thrown
themselves into the pit in a vain search
for the buried men.
The Owens company was removing the
top of the tunnel. and would have had 1t
cleared by June 1 had this accident not
occurred.

FIERCE GALE is BLOWING
Help Rushed by Train From Buffalo

LOSS ALREADY OVER A MILLION
Militia Called Out to Guard Proper
ty-Started in Business Center
on Main Street.

ROCHESTER. n. Y, April 13.-The
city of Rochester appears to be at the
mercy of two alarming fires which are
raging simultaneously in different sec
tions of the city. AT o'clock this aft
ernoon the fires were still spreading,
and the loss had already amounted to
$1,0O0.O90. The Rochester militia is on
duty in the streets. and help has been
summoned from the Buffalo and Syra-
cuse fire departments.
The fires, which are raging in two Sec
tions of the city, are apparently uncon-
trollable. and unless the gale which is
now blowing at thirty or more miles an
hour subsidies the damage will be meal
culable. Every piece of fire apparatus is
on the scene. and appeals have been sent
to Syracuse and Buffalo for assistance.
Both cities have replied that they are
sending aid on fast trains
Started in Selden Building.
The fire broke out in the Selden build
ing. four-story structure at the corner
of Gibbs and Main streets. That build
ing is in ruins. The flames leaped from
it to st. Peters Church. in Grove street,
and then to the big Jewish synagogue, the
Berth Kodesh Temple. ST. Peters was
saved, but the temple is Quilted.
Apartment houses on Grove street. val
ued at 100000 were next swept away
and then the flames attacked a score
or more residences on that and adjoining
streets and are now spreading to others.
Fully 80 families have moved out from
the paths of the flames.
Numerous houses are burning, without
q single stream of water to check the
progress Of the fire.
About the same time fire broke out in
the First Reformed Church, on Nassau
street, in another section of the city and
about one mile removed. Only one fire
company could be spared for this fire,
and the church soon fell a prey to the
flames. which spread to residences, and
are sweeping the street, the residents
moving out as fast as the flames ap-
proach.
Militia Ordered Out.
The militia has been ordered out by
Mayor Egerton TO police the burning
district.
One girl is reported missing. She worked
in the burned Palmer building. A wom-
an went violently insane from fear, as
her home was in the path of the flames.
She was sent to hospital.
1t has been decided to dynamite some
buildings on Stillson street in an effort to
control the fire. The fire is raging una
bated.
