in intricate inventions and cultural

anything, in the way of lasting

"This pyramid, which I regard as

will preserve records of the world of
the present for the greater civiliza

opportunity to build UP a happier
world through finding out the mis-

our age.
II have decided to erect my pyra-
mid here because geologically the
Ozarks are among the oldest noun
tains in the world. The process of
erosion has diminished thsir original
height of more than $4,000 feet to
less than 400 feet above sea level.
The hard limestone base, which 1
have effectually protected from the
action of ground water, is as en-
during as any substance known, and
the hills have already become so
worn that it is impossible for the
pyramid to become buried through
erosion of the nearby mountains /"
