%\)? WM$m\x ant) ^Dii?ljrmi WEDNESDAY, AUG. 26,1896. The Discoveries of Extraor? dinary Interest * _____ i .:'. . I In the August number of the Cen- ; tury there is a short paper of extr?*- i ordinary interest, it is by the cele- ? brated Egyptologist, Professor Pe . irie, who has possibly no superior living. He has bee? excavating in the neighborhood of ancient Thebes, or where Thebes stood, in Egypt, and has made some "finds" of most remarfcable importance to historical and Biblical students. In February last he was digging over a space finding seven temples of Egyptian j Pharoahs or Kings. The two dis j coverie8 of so much interest to the educated part of the world were a huge slab of granite and a stone statue of "Phatoah of the Hard Heart." The huge exquisitely polished like glass he says-stone has a long hieroglyphical inscription that con? tains the history of the wars of the v8on of Rameses IL who was the Pharoah who persecuted the Israel ites through so much of his long reign, lasting for sixty-six years. We are writing from memory after reading the paper The son's name was Merenptah. He was probably advanced in years when he came to the throne, as his father lived* to ninety or more. Ramese? had many wives, and a hundred children He married his own daughter who wa6 tbe mother, it is believed, of Merenptah. Rameses was cruel and mean and voluptous, and a dead fail pre as a ruler. The inscriptions show that his kingdom . was over-run again and again, and much of his territory seized, and the rich harvest despoiled. The son was of another sort, much more warlike -and able It was he and not Rameses who let the Israel ites go. Rameses, mummy is at Cairo of Alexandria, but he is the persecutor. It was Merenptah of "the Hard Heart," who relaxed after t?e miracles of Moses and let the persecuted Israelites leave his king dom. His mummy has not been found, we believe Was he after all, really drowned in the Red Sea ? Since the mummy of Rameses was -discovered it has been held that Pbaroah of the Scriptures was not drowned, but Rameses was dead and a mummy, when the departure oe ?urred. It was the son who finally surrendered to the Lord and gave consent for the going out of the Israelites. That is a striking, strong likeness of Merenptah Professor Petrie dis? covered. The Century gives both front and gide face. It is a statue carved in stone. The great stone slab gives the first y-mention ever found of the Israelites in all of the monumental remains and hieroglyphic writiugs that have been discovered until now. Although the Jewish scriptures contain so much concerning Egypt, thare has not been fonnd a syllable before of the Israel? ites in any connection in the dis? coveries. The mention on the slab is in three or four words, recording that among other victories of King Meren ptah that he 'ctushed the Israelites," if we use the right word given to describe the victory. On the stone there are descriptive words of condition of the kingdom -of Egypt in the time of Rameses II and it was most woeful. The son goes on to show how he found it when he came to the throne It reads quite modern in some respect's, and not un-American. We give two Samples The inscription says : "The people babbled'' and, please attend, "the police lie in slumbers on the'r beats." Tbat sounds like New York or some other "Sleepy Hollow/' The paper in the Century is well worthy of close attention.-Wilmington Mes? senger. Worms Thal Live In the Eye. . This is not so improbable as it may seem, but only people who live in tropi? cal countries suffer in this way. * The worm in question is a mere thread-one of the fihiria-and looks like a very lit? tle piece of vermicelli, but when ex? amined under a microscope it is seen to ! have a round head and a pointed tail. ! It has been found in the eyes of Eu? ropeans who have lived on the Kongo and in similar countries. The eye be? comes more or less inflamed and swollen until the worm is either extracted or migrates of its own accord. This migration is one of the peculiari? ties of the '"loa," as it is sometimes called. It goes from one eye to the oth? er, passing under the skin at the back of the nose. It will be seen in one eye for a day or two, then it will disappear, but a few days later reappear in the oth? er eye. It doe? not always remain upon tho surface, in the conjuctiva (its usual abode), but occasionally makes a tour of the whole of the organ of vision. Strand Magazine. Explained. "The difference, " said AsburyPep-j pers, though no one had asked him, \ "the difference between a bicycle pump j and an anti prize fight law is that one is used to blov.- up the tires and the other j is used to tie up the blowers. ' ' Whereupon the serious boarder told j him that he ought to go on the stage, ? ox, if the stage were not available, to j go on the next train. -Cincinnati En- I (juir?r. A Pumice Stone ??arrier. A boating barrier cf pumice stone 10 miles long, over 1,000 yards wide and j 15 feet deep, closing a seaport to all ? vessels as effectually as a boom could i do, is not the sort of thing one is likely { to forget, and yet that was one of the results of the Krakatoa eruption, the port "being Telok Retcung, in Sunda straits. Formed in a few hours, it would almost seem to be the supreme effort of nature in the pumice making line were it not that such immense quantities are found at the bottom of the sea-a queer place for pumice stone. But pumice., when produced, is really heavy. It is only the air cavities in it that make it light, and as it floats it becomes water logged and down it goes. Most of the pumice we use in Europe comes from the Lipari islands, ncrth of Sicily, "the home of Vulcan,'' whence Vulcano as the name of one of them,' and our * .vol? cano' ' as descriptive of the natural fea? ture of which it is the type. Here are the pumice quarries-at Monte Chirica and its craters* Monte Pelata and Forgia Vecchia-where over 1,000 men are at work in the narrow tunnels and galler? ies, lighted by clay lamps of antique form. The whole hillside is perforated with groups of these tunnels, whioh number between 200 and 300 and are so narrow that the men can hardly pass each other in them. And just as coal is found in beds alternated with sandstone and Shale, so-the pumice is in layers be? tween harder, lavas and ashes.-Leisure Hour. Vocabulary of One Word. "I shall never forget my first visit to Madrid," said a woman to the New York Sun man. "I was the only mem? ber of our party who knew any Spanish, and I knew but one word, that being 'leche*-milk. But by means of gestures we managed to get along until break? fast was served. Then, as luck would have it, the maid brought my coffee without any milk, and also; as luck would have it, I promptly forgot the one word of Spanish that I knew, and which of all words was the one most wanted at that moment. This time neither gesture nor yelling was of any avail ; so, at last, in desperation, I seized a piece of paper and a pencil and drew a picture of a cow. Whereupon'the maid tripped off and came back with three tickets to tho bull fight." Lightning Keciuced to Figures. Modern scientific discovery is fast un? raveling the greatest mysteries of na? ture, and it now appears that there are but few things that are hidden from the gaze of him who looks for them in the proper way. Lightning wafs former? ly one cf the greatest enigmas among natural phenomena. Today we know that the average electromotive force of a bolt of lightning .is about 3,500,000 volts; tl at the current is 14,000,000 amperes, and that the time of discharge is about one twenty-thousandth of a second. In such a bolt there is energy equal to 2,450,000 volts, or 3,284,182 horsepower.-St. Louis Republic. False Report. Rose-Do you see that man who has just come, Lulu?
