GODDESS HAS MANY STATUES

Eayprite With Seuipters.


The arrival st the Metropolitan All-
seum Or Art, in New York, OF seven
81 statues Of Sekhmett, or Nut, the an
Gent Egapian goddess OF war, pur-
chased ID England in 1914, reminds .
one ef the beginnings Of modern inter
.est in archaeology, for the ssFen stat
ues, although their history over the
last century seems difficult to trace ID
all its details, were probably among
the earliest results of Egyptian exca-
yafion that came to England. Some
thing oyer thirty centuries ago Egyp-
tan sculptors were carving such stat
-ues cut Of solid blocks OF black gran
lie for the decoration OF temples aIo
then In 17ee, as the record goes, an
Arab sheik, working at the instigatten
.of q Ysnetian priest, found statue
sof Nut in the sand that had aceun1u
lated ever the ruins Of Karnac. Since
then a good many statues OF Sfut have
been recovered, and the strange god
dess of strife, part animal and part
human, as the sculptors imagined her,
dweIis In many a museum.

no,,t Risnoe Mosauito.

Don't Blame MOSQUITO.
We have lately been taught that the
mosquito was the only disseminator OF
malaria, and that We should be safe II
Ne should get nd Of mosquitoes. But
Doctor Reux, farmerly. chief physician
efthe St Louis hospital at Jerusalem
asserts as theeresult Of his own expert
ence Of 90 years and that of many
colonial physicians, that malaria often
exists where there are no MOSQUITOES
He points cut that everywhere IN
malariaI countries the disease breaks
out Just ut the time when the SOIL Is
broken for planting. He does not deny
that the anopheles mosquito spreads
malaria, but he says this is evidently
not the only means Of infection.
The old theory that malaria was
caused by the B4d air Of swampy dis
tricts or by certain emanations from
the soil may be correct after all.

Beliefs About Worlds End.

Beliefs About Worlds End.
The Mohammedans believe the time
OF the end of the world to be per-
feet secret to all save God alone; the
angel Gabriel himself acknowledged
his ignorance on this point when Mo
hammed asked him about it.
Christianity Of all is the least Ger
tain about the precise time of the
event. Jesus, telling his disciples OF
the precursory signs OF the great ca
tastrophe, said: verify, this genera
ton will not pass before my. words
shall be accomplished. The first
Christians, accordingly, looked to I'M
mediate fulfllment OF the prediction
ana believed the end OF the world
near at hand. Although the advent
failed to come to pass. they claimed
to believe in its near realization. Still,
centuries followed centuries and the
world continued to live.

MR. CHRISTEN-
SEN REPLIES
Accuses Mr.. Benet Of Deliber
ately Misstating Facts

Columbia, May 25-Niels Christen-
sen, Senator from Beaufort county,
again takes issue with former United
States Senator Christie Benet, Of Co
lumbia, on the suffrage question, in
the following statement issued this af-
ternoon:
+ Democratic women Of this State
asked the State Democratic conven-
ton tol let them vote in the primaries
when they Shall be given the ballot
for general elections. That was all
there was to the resolution offered.
No results, or motion, or move Of mine

when he says I introduced the resolu-
ton instructing the San Francisco del,

leadership for the Interior purpose Of
getting indirect endorsement Of the
Anthony amendment. That resolu-
ton was written five minutes before
it was offered and the only person
consulted was Mr.. Robert Latham, ed

CANADA INVADED BY EAGLE
Bird Mas sssminsly Tired After Long
Trip, ana Wac Easily Cap
tured; Given Name.

The American eagle recently spread
bis wings majesticaliy over Canadian
soil The eaglea real one by the
Way-soared from somewhere and
landed in Sandwich, Ont. Whence he
came, nobody knows. But it was from
4 long way OFF, as he was nlanifestfy
exhausted when he alighted on the
roof Of d new house at the corner OF
Lot and Peter streets. 1t was just
about noon, and children coming from
school espied him, says the Detroit
News.
The bird stayed on his perch for
some time. when the mob gathered be-
low The eagle surveyed the crowd in.
q bored manner during the Hxnutes
when hey was not engaged in searching
sytsh his beak4for something or things
under his feathers. The crowd be
came larger and more threatening.
1rinaHy one brayer than the rest eyi-.
dently Britonawith ithout guile, cast the.
6rst Stone.
The American eagle spread his wings:
to their fun extent and, waiting not
for the year of parley between sdisput-
ant nations, huttered to the ground.
Down the streets Of Sandwich the
proud bird trotted with unhnrried
but dangerous steps. Through gaunt-
let.ef citizens he ran, Indian like, turn
ing his beak from right to left with
each new step to peck at some venture
some bystander or oyer-ardent pur-
suer. It looked for time as If the
Bird would not be captured. But he
finally came to- man whose attitude
was not hostile. With scarcely
struggle the eagle gave in.
HIS captor was Clyde Thornton, 81
Peters Street, an American citizen.
During the remainder of the day the
Sandwich residents made tentative
peace offerings In the form of pieces
OF meat. The bird accepted them un-
gracionsly.
