tM0NOLlTHS FOUND IN EGYPT
Some Are Enormous but the Majority
OF Them Are Of Moderate
Size.

The monoliths of Egypt were as a
rule Of comparatively moderate size
and most of the building blocks were
such as would generally be used to.
day, but the pillars Of the temple OF
the Sphinx are 16 feet in height by
Az feet in width, and some others
are 20 to 26 feet in height.
Most of the great columns, says
the National magazine, are built up
in courses, and those Of Luxor are
not solid, two-thirds Of the diameter
being filed in with yellow con.
crete or cement which has now lost
its adhesiveness. These, however,
are of immense proportions, with
shafts Of 40 feet, capitals of liz feet
and diameter at the base Of 11K
feet.
At Karnak the columns Of the main
hall measure 55 feet In the shaft
with lotus flower capitals of 10 feet
additional; their largest diameter lie
IL feet inches. Other temples were
supported by columns scarcely less
lofty and impressive. Upon these
columns immense blocks of .hewn
stone formed massive architraves, on
which the thick tagging of the stone
roofs was supported.
The arch, while not unknown to the
Egyptians, was for some reason sci
dom used in the great temples. BY
what means these immense pillars
we're carried up and the superstruc
,ture added is something of a puzzle
to modern artisans who appreciate
the difficulties to be met.

DEALING IN BABIES
Inhuman Conditions Revealed
in Chicago "Farms."
Women Contract for Children
Before Their Birth.

Chicago, April 19.-Inhuman condi-
lions at "baby farms" in Chicago were
revealed in the Illinois house commit

and institutions where children are
kept. They were such as to bring from
Chairman Thomas Curran the asser-
ton that 1.-THE barter of flesh had not
ceased" and that dealing in babies is
"the most dastardly business existing.
The representatives were told that
mothers contracted for the disposal OF
their infants before birth, signing an
agreement which ends:a
ct premise and declare 1 will never
see said child, but do release and aban-
don it forever"
They were informed that babies
were shipped out of the state when
only a few hours old and that their
mothers were hired out to nurse the
infants of the wealthy. Superintend-
ems of maternity homes admitted they
kept no records; that once a child was
sent away there was nothing by which
it could be traced.
But don't you ever inquire how
these babies are treated; whether they
live or die ?'' inquired Chairman Cur
ran of DR.. Charles S. Wood of the
Union Park maternity home.

heads of the homes said they adver-
tised extensively that they had babies

mands for infants exceeded the sup

DR.. Wood said that on February Ia
an infant was born at o'clock in the
afternoon. Two hours later it was

Iowa His explanation that an infant
of that age could Ego without nour-

FIND PIRATE GOLD.
Chicago Man Finds a Real Captain
Kidd Treasure in Florida.

Chicago. April 19.-Pirate gold re-
covered from the fire-blackened rem
nants of craft which ran aground on
a tiny coral reef. four miles south of
Miami, Fla, in the days of Captain
Kidd, was placed in a safety deposit
bank today by E. c. Cole, a Chicago
manufacturer who had opened up the
buried treasure while se7rching for bits
of coral. Coles find was a chunk of
melted gold, weighing two and a half
pounds and worth at least $1,000. He
wrapped it in silk, placed it in hand
satchel and did not let it out of his
sight until he reached the vault here.
st never was interested in buried
treasure stories before said Cole, but
half the population of the Florida coast
does little else than dig for doubloons
and pieces of eight. If they put as
much energy into digging with agricul-
tural results in view, they would all
be rich.'

Mott, F. r. C. P, F. r. S., who has
charge of 10000 1unatics in the Lon
don hospitals. He came to Baltimore
to join the opening exercises of the
Henry Phipps Psychiatric clinic.
The poets were in many cases the
sons of cratic, nervous parents. There
is not much difference between the
highly imaginative thought of the poet
or of the genius on one hand and
insanity on the other" he continued
"Heredity plays a larger part than is
sanity, a much larger part than is
generally believed. I don't believe in
the sterilization of the insane or in
other hasty methods. We do not know
enough about insanity yet, but I do
believe in segregation.
