of Chephren, the king who built the
second pyramid, and whose artists
carved the guardian Sphinx out of a
knob of natural rock" On the
kings ear, he tells us, still remains
quite bit of red paint; but, not de1
string to offend Chephren's family or
friends, those who know will not
state how the red paint got on his
ear But the fact that the Boston
professor was enabled to identify him
by the dab of paint and few pleats
in his head-dress, shows how careful
a man should be, as he may be found
out 4,761 years afterward. The
possibility that Chephren invented
the cocktail should be sufficient to
secure for him the sympathy of every
member of the Maryland Mint Julep
Club. Perhaps the BentZtown Bard
of Caire wrote poems about him, and
the boys joined hands all round as
they sang the early Egyptian song
which was the forerunner of our own
He's Jolly Good Fellow" Who
can tell? Chephren himself remains
silent, and we cannot believe he has
delegated Professor Reisner to speak
for him.
buL any way, we nave Iue IduSn On
the Psychologists of 1920, who re-
garded the Sphinx as the image of
King Kharfa, and asserted that it
was the embodiment of Har-em-Khu,
the god s-on-the-Horizon. The
Har-em-Khu was not as the ignorant
believe, the founder of the harem
skirt; in fact, it is doubtful if he ever
saw one. And the Investigators of
to-day contend that Kharfa was not
even in the committee that built the
Sphinx. Professor Reisner and his
pupils may be right. 1t is not a
question for mere layman to settle.
But until later returns come in from
the back counties we may consider
that Boston has solved the riddle of
the ages and has added to the vast
store of human knowledge that
stretches from Cambridge to Cape
Cod Baltimore Sun.

THE LINIE-suLFUR SEDIMENT.

A correspondent from Lehighton,
Pa, recently wrote to Prof. II. A.
Surface, State ZoolOgist, asking for
information concerning certain de-
tails in making lime-sulfur solution,
particularly in regard to the sedi-
ment which is left in the bottom of
the kettle. Prof, Surface gave him
the following valuable suggestions:
Your plan of letting the mater
ial settle after boiling and before at
tempting to strain it, is all right. 1t
is the red liquid which kills the scale
and not the sediment. However,
you can use the sediment by stirring
it up in, water, and letting it settle
again, and thus get a great deal of
food out of it, after you have once
drawn off the strong liquid above it..
OF course, the second drawing off of
the liquid will be dilute, but it
should be tested with the hydrome-
ter, as all lime-sulfur sprays should

The Sphinx May AS Well
Speak Out

At last advices the Sphinx had
positively refused to confirm the
statement of a Harvard professor
that the true facts in regard to his
private life have been discovered
Like a trust magnate or political
boss in trying situation, he refuses
to be interviewed. We say che" ad-
visedly, because Prof. George Andrew
Reisner asserts that the parsonage
which folks for generations have
called 'she" in reality represents a
party belonging to the opposite sex
The professor asserts that the figure
is that of Chephren, a Pharaoh of
Egypt who was the Theodore Roose-
welt OF the fourth dynasty, being the
Big Noise along about 1850 B. C.
If the professor is right, then our
old friend Napoleon BOnaparte was
slightly in error when he delivered a
lecture to his soldiers, saying: There
she stands; forty centuries look
down upon us" These were not his
exact words, but that was the
thought. This also disposes of the
theory that the reason the Sphinx
kept her mouth closed was that she
was afraid she would tell her age; (;
and it tends to confirm the view of
other sphinxologists that it could not
be a woman, because no female
creature could have kept from talk
ing for 5000 years. Some have con-
tended that the Sphinx was a monu-
ment, others held to the theory that
1t was an advertisement. We have
refused to take sides in the contro-
yersy, but we take pleasure in pre-
senting the facts dug up by the Bos-
ton eXcavator.

short when mentioned in an offhand
manner or when expressed in time,
but which are so long when put to
practical test The puzzle was not
solved by my last experience In this
line; 1t was rather made more COM
plex.
Il went to look last Sunday at some
lots which were said to lie along the
line of one Of the suburban railroads.
The agent who accompanied me said
that the site was not more than 8
mile from the station. When we
reached the station a motor car was
waiting to take us out to the place.
Now, you know how quickly and
easily a mile slips past one of those
big cars. Well, noticed a speedom-
eter on the car and instead Of climb
ing into the tonneau with the agent
| got In beside the chauffeur and kept
my eye on the dial. The car went
out to those lots at the rate of 20
miles an hour, and 1t took six minutes
to make the trip. That would make
the distance from the station about
two miles, or twice what the agent
said 1t was.
He couldn't explain the inconsis-
tency when asked about 1t, and so
am just as far from solving the where
fore of suburban distances now as
before. New York Sun.

BATTLE BETWEEN TWO WINES
Rivalry Of Champagne and Burgundy
Lasted for Nearly Three-ouarters
Of Century.

The quarrel between the districts
OF The Aube and the Marne recalls the
still more ancient rivalry of the spark
ling wine and burgundy. The battle
between these two wines lasted from
1850 to 1920. nearly three-quarters OF
a century. aud was started by an OBJ
scure doctor, who wrote a pamphlet
declaring that the vineyards of The
Beaune produced the healthiest
wines In France. All the other vine
yards of France were aroused to in.
dignant protests by this treatise and
the vine growers Of the Champagne
were loudest in their protests. The
quarrel reached It's height when Fa-
gon, the physician of Louis XIV, for.
bade his royal master to drink cham
payne, and Burgundy rejoiced at this
check to its rival.
A Burgundian pamphlet was prompt
ly Issued denouncing sparkling wines
as the cause of gout and bad nerves.
Reims promptly rejoined by a medl.
cal treatise which set out to prove
that Beaune was the real cause OF
these evils. Journalists, poets, states.
men, in fact all the world, took part
in the quarrel. The pamphleteers Of
Reims claimed the victory, for they
declared that champagne had done
far more for the country than any
other wine. because when King Wen
ceslas came to Reims in 1897 to make
a treaty with Charles VI, he found
the wine SO good that he continued to
drink 1t until he granted to the
French king all that ..e demanded

The value of manufactures passing
out of the United States in the calen-
dar year 1911 may exceed one billion
dollars. This estimate is based upon
figures of the bureau of statistics, de-
partment of commerce and labor, COW
ering the exports of manufactures in
the nine months ending with Septem-
Der, 1911, which amount to 47S1s mil
| lion dollars for finished manufactures
and 240b million for manufactures for
further use in manufacturing, making
the total exports of manufactures in
the period named 719 million dollars,
against 612 million in the like period
of 1910. The increase in the nine
months of 1911 over the like period of
1910 is 174S per cent, and in case the
increase during the remainder of the
year continues at the same rate the
total value of manufactures passing to
foreign countries during 1911 will be
about $40 million dollars. When to
this is added the value of manufactures
going to Alaska, Porto Rico and Ha-
waii, not included in the exports TO
foreign countries, the total outward
movement of manufactures from con
tinental United States in 1911 will pass
the billion dollar line This will bring
the total value of manufactures ex-
ported n 1911 to more than twice that
of ten years ago and more than five
times that of 20 years ago, the exports
of manufactures in 1901 having been
44715 million, and in 1891 about lS5
million dollars.

domestic manufacture show increased

A REMARKABLE BYE-ELEC-
TON IN IOWA.

There will take place next month,
in the Council Bluffs district of Iowa,
Congressional election that will give
unusual opportunity to gauge the ten
denotes of public opinion on the ques-
ton of tariff and reciprocity.
President Taft named Representative
Walter |. Smith to be circuit judge of
the Eighth circuit, causing a vacancy
in Congress. The retiring Representa-
tive was one of the old Cannon group
of House leaders, who by that token
came uncomfortably near defeat for
his denomination, and likewise for his
reelection, last autumn.
Republicans and Democrats have
made nominations to succeed Judge
Smith. The Republicans named a sort
of near progressive, Judge Green; the
Democrats named an old-liner of their
faith, former State Senator Cleveland.
The conventions were held last week,
and the curious situation existent
throughout the middle Western agri-
cultural States is reflected in the plat
forms on which the two candidates are
running. The Republican candidate
stands on a platform which condemns
the Taft reciprocity arrangement; the
Democrat stands on a platform which
indOrSes that agreement!
Multiply that district by the number
of districts in the great Republican
stronghold of the upper Mississippi and
Missouri valleys: project that situation
over the whole region-and you will
have a conception of the anomaly which
will mark the course of politics during
the next two years.
The Ninth Iowa district has not been
represented by a Democrat since Judge
Reed was elected in 1890 on tariff is
sue so much like the present one that
it might have been another pea in the
poland yet utterly different. In re-
cent times the district has been pow
erfully Republican until the rising tide
of insurgency began to submerge sec
tions of the huge Republican vote. Now
the Democrats are out with a vigorous
to seize the district, but.
more important still, TO demonstrate
the tendency of sentiment toward their
party. 1t is reported that Mr.. Bryan,
who is a near neighbor to the Ninth
Iowa, and has a big following there,
will do some stumping for Senator
Cleveland.
