Vast Army Employed
in Building Pyramid

In spite Of modern skyscrapers, fort
resses and other structures, the great
pyramid Of Egypt still stands In a
class by itself It was erected more
than 5000 years ago, and nothing more
mechanically perfect has ever been
built. In massiveness Of construc-
tion it far exceeds anything that any
other nation, ancient or modern, has
ever attempted. Its original height
was just over 480 feet, and the length
of each side at the base 764 feet Its
cubical contents exceeded 809,000,000
cubic feet, and the weight of its mass
6,840,O00 tons. It's original cubical
contents would have built a city of
1900 houses, with walls a foot thick,
each possessing 20 feet Of frontage
Or If the contents of this vast struc
ture were laid down in line foot
In breadth and depth, the line would
be nearly 1900 miles In length. Hero
dotus tells us that 100000 men were
engaged in its construction for a
space Of 20 years, and modern schol-
airs do not think this estimate an ex-
aggerated one.

The Real ReWdrd

Wealth that comes as the reward Of
usefulness can be accepted with honor;
and, consecrated to further usefulness,
1t becomes royal. Fame that comes
from noble service, the gratitude of
men, be they few or many, to one who
has done them good, Is true glory; and
the influence that 1t brings is as near
to godlike power as anything that
man can attain. But, whether these
temporal rewards are bestowed upon
us or not, the real desire of the soul
is satisfied just in being useful. The
pleasantest word that q man can hear
at the close Of the day, whispered in
secret to his soul, Is, "well done, thou
good and faithful servant"-Henry
Van Dyke.

Only Legends Tell
About Sweeney Todd

A report 10 the effect that the house
on Fleet street, London, formerly oc-
cupled by Sweeney Todd has been dis
covered gives rise to the question:
"Wh0 is Sweeney ToddT He was
rather a mythical person and his ex-
istence is accounted for largely by
improved legends. The story goes
that Sweeney Todd was barber OF
Fleet street, who had an unpleasant
way with his customers For, accord
ing to tradition, II anyone came for
a shave who looked worth robbing, he
would seat the man in q chair which
would presently capsize and throw the
occupant into a well or vault below.
There. It was said, he would rob the
unfortunate fellow and afterward dis
pose Of the body to a confederate who
kept a pie shop in the adjoining house,
whose bakehouse communicated with
the vaults Of st. Dunstan's church.
While the legend says that Todd was
hanged at Tyburn, the annals Of New
gate have nothing about him. But
Sweeney Todd was sufficiently famous
to figure in many old ballads and melO-
dramas.

Imaginary Land

The name "Hyperboreans' was CIV
en- by the ancients to an imaginary
people, favorltes Of Apollo, who lived
beyond Boreas, or the North Wind.
Virgil placed them under the North
pole. This favored race dwelt in
terrestrial paradise under a cloudless
sky, and enjoyed a fruitful land, I'M
ending peace, and perpetual youth and
health. The Hyperboreans were said
to live In an atmosphere composed en-
tirely of feathers. Herodotus and Pllny
both refer to this fiction, but say 1t
was suggested by the amount Of snow
that fell In those northern regions.
The word "Hyperboreans" has been
used by anthropologists to designate
certain peoples that dwell In the north
east Of Asia and the northwest of
America, and that cannot be classified
either as Mongolians or as North
American ndiahs.-Exchange

Holbien, the portrait painter at
tached to the court of King Henry
VII, during a part of that monarch's
matrimonlally meteoric reign, was a
master of the art Of detail In por-
traiture. His portrait of Lady Jane
Seymour, who succeeded Anne Boleyn
as queen Of England, is one of the
most important Of historical portraits,
not only because of the flne character
Of the work as whole, but because
Of the dellcacy with which the artist
wrought the brocade pattern In her
dress and reproduced the exquisite
delicacy Of the fragile lace on her
sleeves.

Rossetti, who painted the now famous
reredos at LANDAU cathedral, took so
long over them that the dean and
chapter became weary of waiting, es-
pecially as replies to letters sent Ro-
setti concerning them were not forth
coming. SO one day the bishop Of
Llandaff, being in London, called at
Rossettl's rooms in Blackfriars to ask
to see them, and thus discover the rea-
son of their non-arrival and Of the
painters silence. But the maid who
opened the door there at once in
formed him that Rossetti was absent,
and on hearing what the bishop had
come about, she exclaimed: "Oh, lor',
sir, Mr.. Rossetti don't paint now-he's
married !"

Earliest TypetUriters

The first typewriter of which there
is any record was patented in England
in 1714 In 1920 the first American
typewriter, called a typographer was
patented by w. A. Burt. In 1874 and
1916 typewrlting machines were in
vented In England which, like many
Of the early machines, were designed
primarily for the use Of the blind and
so produced embossed characters.
About 1867 Charles Latham Sholes be-
gan to experiment on the construction
of a typewriter, and from this the
Remington had Its origin. The first
crude model was completed in 1868.

Simple "Cradle" Used
in Placer Mining

In mining, placer is a place where
deposits Of precious metal usually
gold, are found near the surface,
often in the gravel of river or creek
beds The mineral Is obtained by
washing the gravel or pay dirt; that
is, separating the gold-dust from the
gravel and earth with which 1t is
mixed. This kind Of mining Is called
placer mining. and 1t is in this kind
Of mining that the miners cradle Is
used. The cradle Is a simple appli-
ance for treating "pay dirt" earth and
gravel containing gold-dust. 1t con-
sists essentially OF box mounted on
rockers and provided with per
forated bottom Of sheet iron in which
the "pay dirt" ls placed. Water Is
poured on the dirt and the rocking mo-
ton impaired to the cradle causes the
finer particles to pass through the per-
forated bottom on to a canvas screen,
and thence to the base Of the cradle,
where the gold-dust accumulates on
transverse bars Of wood called rifles"

Ori9in of Dollar

The name dollar" originally came
from "thaler," a coin which originated
in Bohemia in 1919 and was widely
used in central Europe for many years
afterwards. But the coin itself was
taken from the Spanish ''peso" which
was the common unit of exchange in
the West Indian trade In colonial days.
1t was called the Spanish dollar. In
1902 the coinage act of the United
States gave legal recognition to what
was already an established institution.
Later the silver content was slightly
changed.
