Hippolyte-Boussac "On the head Of
Ra, or AmmOn Ra, were a solitary disk
and two tall feathers. Represents.
tons of the head of Isis frequently
show a disk between two heifer horns,
surmounted by the inscription AS, rep
~resenting her name. Nowre-TOum's
head was decked with a f~ull-grcwn
lotus, from which emerged symbolic
feathers.
"Thoth, the god Of sciences, letters
Il arts, was often shown with the
head of an ibis, having a wig with lap
pets, surmounted by a disk and a cres-
cent. Examples might be multiplied;
similar characteristics appeared among
the other gods in the pantheors OF
the Pharaohs. With very few eXcep-
lions, these attributes are not confined
to one divinity exclusively. They
serve as emblems marking the roles
played by each god. The Pharaohs
themselves made use of them in the
performance Of certain religious cere-
monies.
THE Sphinx was the image of the
god Harmakhis-the sun at its setting
"a divinity essentially funercal in as.
pect. Thus is explained his place in
the metropolis at Memphis. AS with
the other Egyptian gods, his head was
surmounted by q symbolic ornament,
usually the Atew, or disk of the sun
which was worn also by Osiris, the
god nf tho Iaa1 This nrp Tzn-F CNn-

trich plumes. a solitary disk and two
rams horns.
at is know that the great Sphinx
of GiZeh was cut out OF a high cliff
on the edge of the Libyan desert. The
ancients were unable 10 fashion the
head ornament while sculpturing the
figure out Of the mass OF rock, but
added it later. This process is some
times followed in the case even of
statuettes. 1t was necessary to dig
deeply into the head in order to in.
ment which ~surmounted it. This was
the purpose of the cavity which has
been discovered in the head of this
Sphinx.
"As the ornament was not mono
lithic, but was formed of superimposed
strata, it must have been compare.
lively frail. 1t was threatened by the
lightning, the rain, the s~andstorms
and winds of the desert. 1t did not
figure at all on the bas-relief of tho
Sphinx in the Tina Of Thof-1es ~ in
the eighteenth dynasty, which was
shown crouching on a lofty pedestal.
Doubtless in this epoch-about 1000
b. C.-the ornament already had been
destroyed. The Sphinx was then more
than $500 years old-older than the
Parthenon Of our day-and in this
long stretch of centuries the symbolic
accessory might well have fallen VIC
tim to the ravages OF the elements.
I'm the temple of Djebel-Barkal the
disks, placed much lower and appar.
emily being less frail, which surmount-
ed the heads Of the other sphinxes,

had been carved u of the same

before our era, Thotmes Nv restored

EDlS0N'S LATEST RECORDS
TELEPHONE CONVERSATIONS
Simple Machine Represents Years of
Patient Experiment.


NEW YORK, Sept A.-Edisons latest
invention the telescrlbe. which records
both sides of telephone conversation, Is
now on exhibition.
The machine Is simple. The desk tee-
phone is equipped with two transmitters
and two receivers. The talker used one
set and the other set is hitched to n
phonograph record which takes down
every sound on the wire. The phono-
graph is started recording and stopped at
will by pressing buttons.
But though the machine is simple and
easily Understandable, like other Edison
inventions, 1t represents years of expert
ment. II was pointed out yesterday that
though Mr.. Edison said of the phono-
graph in 1878 "the phonograph will per-
feet the telephone" neither he nor any
one else perfected a mechanism to record
telephone conversations in the 36 years
following his prophecy until the appear
ance Of the telescribc.
An important difficulty was the weak
ness of the voice at the further end of
the telephone wire. This was overcome
by putting one receiver against an acous-
ticon, which sufficiently magnifed the
sound to permit the phonograph to take
II down clearly
1t was said yesterday that 60 per cent.
of all communications in this country to-
day is over the telephone. The chief
value of the telescribe Is expected to be
In fixing exactly what was agreed to by
phone in business transactions One tele-
scribe will serve for all the business of a
firm. 1t can be affixed to the switch
board and used in recording any CONVEX
sation wished. The price of the instru-
ment has not yet been settled.

ALFALFA PLANT BROUGHT TO
ECUADOR BY THE SPANIARDS
Now Cultivated Between $3.50 and
10000 Feet Above Sea.

The alfalfa plant, known for many
centuries in Europe, was introduced into
Ecuador by the Spaniards in the 18th
century. They found growing wild there
IN annual species OF the plant having
yellow flowers. which differed somewhat
from the European species, although in
no way superior to 1t, and had never
been cultivated by the Indians.
Ine elevations at which 1t Is cultivated
here are between $3.50 and l050O feet above
yea level, as the climate is too hot or
400 cold outside OF those limits for the
plant to grow we'll. An altitude of $500
10 $3.50 feet is best fitted for its cultiva-
|tion.
Two varieties OF the plant are grown in
Ecuador-the common alfalfa having
green and the other violet-colored shoots;
!ne latter is more tender and succulent
ana mas better developed foliage sys-
, ,sm However. it is more subject to in

produces but few seeds. The seeds are
