Pyramid of Cheops Is
Still in Good Condition

Save for one surviving pyramid, the
seven wonders Of the ancient world
have passed on. Not only have they
disappeared, but their memory Is
mostly confined to the pages Of old
books Strangely enough, the one sur
wiling wonder is the oldest. 1t dates
back almost 1000 years before Christ,
and 1t is still in good condition. It
is the pyramid Of Cheops at Ghlzeh,
in Egypt. The most notable thing
about the pyramid was the care taken
to protect it from grave robbers. All
the entrances were sealed. There
were several large chambers near the
base Of the structure built to mislead
any one seeking the sepulchral cham
Der. This was 13S feet above the
ground, and could be reached only by
tortuous passages, cleyeriy concealed.
The walls Of Babylon were the sec
ond wonder. The third wonder was
the statue Of Zeus in the temple at
Ephesus. The fifth was the mausoleum
Of Hallcarnassus, in Carla. The sixth
was the Colossus of Rhodes, and the
seventh was the lighthouse of Alexan-
dria at Pharos. 1t was Antipater of
Palestine, the Baedecker Of the an
Gent world. who selected the seven
wonders about 200 years before the
birth of Chrlst.-Detroit News

1t Is interesting to note that ac-

spoon in 995. at the time of her mar

rapidly adopted by the Venetian no
