lossl in Watsr-Logsed Plain
Of Old Memphis.

Cairo. Egypt. - Another sphinx,
weighing ninety tons, and carved from
single block Of alabaster, has been
unearthed at a point between the
world-famed Colossi, on the water
logged plains Of Memphis. in Egypt.
For hundreds of years it has lain in a
recvm0ent position buried beneath the
sands on the road to Sakkareh. To-
day it ia half-exposed to view. and
next year it is to be raised to a verti-
cal position above the water-line.
This newly found sphinx was betray-
ed in its hiding place by its tail, which
Mr.. Mackay, one of the students of the
British School in Egypt, discovered
about year ago. This year, when
the water on the plain subsidized, the
complete figure was excavated, and
was found to measure some fourteen
feet in height and twenty-six feet in
length. Alabaster being rock foreign
to the neighborhood. the new sphinx
ranks as the largest that has ever
been transported. The figure bears no
Inscription, but is considered by Prof.
Flinders Petrie, the director Of the
British School in Egypt. to have been
carved about 1900 B. c. Many other
remarkable discoveries, taking the
mind back as far as $500 B. c.. and
lifting the veil of centuries from
Egypt's romantic story, have also been
made by the same school, and, with
the exception Of a red granite group
of Rameses II and the god Ptah, which
will be sent direct to the Ny Carlsberg
Museum at Copenhagen, and q few
other details, are now on exhibition at

5000 years B. C.
The graves of the early Egyptians
were always well provided with such
necessaries as were thought essential
for the spirit of the departed wheE it
again materialized. Consequently, the
relics from Tarkhan include headrests
(some of them carved out of trees
trained specially into peculiar shapes),
sandals, large jars Of food, and various
vessels of gypsum and semi-transpaf-
ent alabastar. Some of the vases bear
the name of Mena, the earliest knowH

Evidence is also provided OF the lack
of historical sentiment in the Roman
occupants of Egypt by numerous exam
pies of inscribed Egyptian tablets that
have been used as hearth stones. door
lintals, and mill stones. There is also
ample evidence Of the belief that sac
rilege among the tombs was more COM
mon in the earlier periods of Egyptian
history than in later periods.

Bristol, Tenn.-Rev. Alfred Harrison
Burroughs of Bristol. now In his
eightieth year. has married 1000
couples in the last twenty-three years.
II had no thought of making this q
business" said the aged minister. Il
was licensed to marry people many
years ago, and when the first runaway
couple sought me in 1889, consented
to marry them more as matter OF
accommodation than anything else.
"Some of my friends were present
and witnessed the marriage. They
complimented me and told me that ]
ought to make marrying business.
After that I did not decline to offer
MY services whenever a couple came
my way. Month by month the bust.
hess grew until I sometimes married
from three to six couples day."
So rapidly did the minister's mar
rying business increase that he built
a hotel designed especially to accom-
MEDIATE clipping couples.

Buddhism has for its central doc

Buddhism alone Of all the world re-
ligions has never carried on its propa-

into a great number Of sects. OF late
it has witnessed decided revival in
Japan. Though neither Shintoism nor
Buddhism has the clear conception OF
personal God that Christianity offers.

II shall be expected to say some
thing about the present status of Chris
tianity in Japan. Most travellers re-
turn from Japan either pro-missionary
or anti-missienary. II they have made
their headquarters. as perhaps most
do, in Yokohama and Kobe and min
gled almost exclusively with the for
eign business men they are likely to
take the anti-missionary point of view.
They will not get an anti-missionary
impression, however, IL they spend
most of their time among the Japan
ese as did.
while it is true that Christianity
is probably not keeping pace with
the growth of population. Christian
ethical standards have already per-
meated the nation and are univer-
sally incorporated into the Japanese
social system. Acceptance Of Chris
tianity as such has hardly touched the
upper and lower classes. It has its
footing almost entirely in the Widdle
class. The students, as wiz A.. are
considered especially suscertiV TO its
appeal.
"The two chief hindrances to the
spread of Christianity aside from
worldwide causes seem to be the pres
emit diversity and antagonism Of de-
nominations and the quite obvious dis
crepancy between Christian profession
and practice. When Christian nations
offer themselves as moral leaders, aft
er the rapacity with which they have
established themselves in the Orient,
the educated Japanese is tempted to
smile at the incongruity."
