of a similarity in her greatness
not altogether preposterous Twen-
ty centuries ago the Caesars half
believed the Alexandrians possessed
the power of making gold. From
this sublime he'ght it is a little diff
ficult to drop down to corn, and
wheat, and alfalfa, and the products
of the vineyards in our very own
