where land is probably more valuable
than anywhere else in the world, this
garden came into existence.
The history of the matter is rather
curious. This quaint old garden is in
reality the churchyard of the vanished
church of St. OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
called because of its proximity to the
Stock market (fsh and fesh), which
formerly stood where the Mansion
house is today. St Christophers was
pulled down in 1881, when the bank
was being enlarged, and the garden
of today is its old churchyard 1t is
said that one cause Of the demolition
of the church was the fear lest it
should ever be occupied by rioters to
the danger of the bank, the premises
of which were completely overlooked
from its tOwer-fear when was doubt.

riots of 1870, when. it way be remem-
bered, some of the rioters marched to
the bank and tried to break in.

GREAT SPHINX CRUMBLING

The great Egyptian Sphinx, the old
est and most colossal statue in the
world, is rapidly crumbling away. 1t
has stood for sixty centuries, but now
it is vanishing at the breath of mod
ern civilization. The great irrigation
works recently carried out in Egypt
have radically changed the exceed
ingly dry climate, which made the
astounding longevity of Egyptian
stone monuments possible. Under old
conditions these might be expected to
last forever, as far as weather was
concerned Now there are Is to is
days heavy rainfall in the year. where
as formerly there was only an hours
rain day for week The increased
humidity combined with the mild
frost at night in winter, is rapidly
disintegrating the stone Sphinx. and

FIGHTING THE WHITE PLAGUE
Number OF State institutions iG
Double During the Past
Two Years.

Sixteen state sanatoria, % county
hospitals and q municipal hospitals
for tuberculosis have been erected
and provided for since January 1.
1909, says a recent bulletin Of the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis
Within the last two years the num-
losis has doubled, and the number Of
county and municipal institutions has
increased from about 80 to so. The
expenditures of public money for the
treatment Of tuberculosis also has
more than doubled. Not less that
100000 Of state money was appro-
priated for tuberculosis institutions in
1909, when AZ legislatures met, and
over 100000 in 1910 when only II
legislatures We're in session. The ap-
preparations of counties and cities for
tuberculosis hospitals and sanatoria
in the last two years will aggregate
fully $2500.00O bringing the total
Of Official appropriations for tubercu-
losis hospitals up to over 100000
in the past two years.
In spite, however, of this good show
ing, the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis
states that not one-tenth Of the pub
lie provision for tuberculosis that is
needed has been made. More than
25C,000 tuberculosis patients are con
stantly without proper institutional
treatment

such condition that l could hardly take
sufficient nourishment to sustain life.
During this time l was drinking cof-

After awhile l came to the conclu-
