0 Winter twilight while the bloon
Grows whiter on the deepening blue.v
I find some brief-lived thoughts in you.
That rise not in the night or noon.
Of faded loves, that once were sweet,
But now are neither sweet nor sad;
Of hopes that,.distant, look so glad,
. Yet lie, unnoticed, at our feet;
Of these I think, until the red
line wasted from the western sky,
And royal reigns the moon on high ;-—
What profits to lament the dead?
Small profit ; yet in dreams that hold
Our hand to forward, one to past,
We stay the years that fly so fast,
And link our new lives to the old.

STEAM HEATING.
THE WORKS AT TROY, N. Y.
Readers of the Post will remember that‘at
the last session of the Legislature a charter
was grapted to certain corporations, who pro-
posed to introduce steam heatiugin Hartford
on a large scale, and that at the time there
was a good deal of discussion of tbe‘subjcct.
After the granting of the charter, however,
good many people have supposed that noth—
ing was being done. On the contrary, a
thorough study of the problem from :both
the theoretical and practical sides has been
in progress, with the result of removing any
shadow of doubt that might hpve existed as
to the actual advantages of the proposed in—
novation.
Tna sxsrnll AT Tnor, N. Y.
Near the close of the past week a party of
gentlemen interested in the project made a
thorough examination of the system as car—
ried out at Troy, N.‘ Y., where results have
been Obtained that deserve careful attention.
There are at present over 20,000 feet of mains
and some 4,000 feet of service pipes, making
about five miles-of pipes in all. Through
this length of pipe the steam is distributed
with a very slight loss of pressure, even at
the dead ends or points from which there is
no return circulation. Besides heating a
a large number of private houses, .the com -
pany furnishes power to fifteen engineshag-
gregating 150 horse power, and although the
laying of pipes was not completed until
' November last, sothat many intended con—
sumers had laid in their stocks of coal and
postponed the adoption of steam to the next
season, there are already sufiicient custo—
mers to pay expenses, while nearly four
hundred more are pledged for next year, so
that the financial success of the enterprise
may be regarded as assured. Alarge num—
ber of the users of this steam were question-
ed as to its realization. of the promises
made by the managers, and without a sin-
gle exception they. expressed thorough satis—
faction.
now THE STEAM 1s usnn.
The method employed is substantially what
is called the Holly system. At the boiler
house the steam is delivered at an average
pressure of about 50 pounds, and received in
wrought iron pipes, tested to a pressure of
300 pounds. Those pipes are covered with
asbetos paper, then with a thick layer of _
felt, and then with tough ;brown paper
wound spirally round andhcld by a wrapping
of copper wire. Each one is enclosed in a
hollow 10g of wood of sufficient size to leave ,
a dead air space of two inches around the
pipe, in this manner the radiation of heat is
prevented. ' .
Tests showing the actual amount of loss
will be found below. At'intervals of one
hundred feet are boxes, through which ser-
nice pipes can be attached,-and every box is
provided with an expansion joint which al-
lows the pipe to lengthen or shorten accord-
ing to its temperature without injury to any
part. When the steam is brought into a
house it passes through a regulator so con-
trived as to deliver it at any required pressure
less‘tban that of the main. In heating it is
customary to use a pressure of about five
pounds, and this pressure can be accurately
maintained no matter now great that in the
main may be. Thus reduced in pressure the
steam may either be carried through heaters
in the separate rooms or througb'coilsv of
pipe in an inelosed space in the basement,
to which cold air is brought from outside,
while pipes leading up to registers abovere-
ceive the air when it has been heated by
passing over the coil of pipe. Wherever
there is now’ a furnace this mode of using the
steam can be employed without making any
other change than the introduction of the
coil of pipe, the tin fines and registers re-
maining as before.
When any form of steam heating is
already in use, the existing arrangements
can be utilized just is they stand by merely
bringing in the steam from the mains, and
without having any fire in the apparatus.
The steam is also used for cooking, for heat-
ing water, and the like purposes, and at the
office of the company baking, boiling, broil-
ing and frying have been successfully per-
formed on various occasions.
MOT-IVE POWER FROM THE MAINS.
As above mentioned, the Troy Steam
Heating Company furnished a. good deal of
motive power along the line of its pipes.
The first place visited was the spice mill of,
J. B. Anthony & Co. The engine of this
establishmentis situated 180 feet from the
main and 1,100 feet from the boiler house.
It is of twenty horse power and was running
beautifully, the gauge standing at forty—
eight pounds. Examination of the exhaust
showed very dry steam. About half the
exhaust is taken to heat the building and the
remainder is taken to run a low-pressure
engine in a machine shop in the rear. The
engineer says the steam is better than he used
to make, as being steadier in pressure and
drier. _
At the establishment of~hCarles Clemen-
shaw, a boiler put in less than six months
ago, and very thoroughly set and fitted, was
found standing idle, while all the power used
was supplied from the steam main.
At the ofiice of the Troy Times there were
two boilers, one of fifty horse power, the
other of twenty-five horse power. It .had
been customary to use the larger one, in‘
-wintcr, where both heat and power are re—
quired, and the smaller one in summer. At
present no use is made of either, steam 'for
both purposes being taken from the main.
Here too, the engineer said the steam was
drier and more uniform in pressure than he
could furnish himself. The gauge stood at
forty-six. _ . '
Four or five other establishments were vis-
ited and all the testimony was in faver of
the steam furnished by the Heating Com—
pany.
LOSS or runssunn 12v TIIE PIPES.
Renaembcring that the average pressure at
the boiler house is about fifty pounds, some
idea of the loss in transmission may be form
ed from the record of‘ the gauge at the
places just mention. They usualy marked
from 45 to 50 pounds. At the ofiicc of the
heating company tlircc~quartcrs of a mile
from the boiler house, the loss of pressure
is never more than eight pounds, and often
only four or five. Automatic registers are
kept at both places, so that the actual record
at each for any given time can be obtained,
‘ and as the places are connected by telephone
it is possible to answer the question of re.
lative pressure at any moment. An exami-
nation of the pressure at a dead end, over a
mile and a quarter from the boiler house,
showed a gauge pressure of forty pounds.
The time was noted; and immediately on
returning to the office an inquiry was made
as to the pressure at the boiler house at the
time of inspection, and it was found to
have been forty—eight pounds, showing a
loss of only eight pounds at a dead end,
more than a mile and a quarter from the
boiler.
l plea
HEAT 0F STEAM AFTER REDUCTION.
Many persons have been disposed to doubt
whether, after passing the pressure reducer,
the steam would show the temperature be-
longing to its lessened pressure, or indeed.
anything nearly corresponding. Experi—_
ments bearing on this point have been re—
peatedly made by the engineer of the Troy
Company, and show results very closely
approximating to- those called for by the
theory. Some tests were made in the presence
of the visitors, and the figures noted as fol-
lows: '
Gauge on service pipe 45 the
Theoretical temperature due that pres-
sure 292°
Actual temperature by thermometer 291°
Gauge on pipe in which steam has been
used ‘ 1015s
Theoretical temperature 242°
Actual temperature 242°
Gauge on pipe in which steam has
been again reduced . 5Ibs
Theoretical temperature 228°
Actual temperature 228°
It seems to be conclusively proved‘that the
heat does actually vary with the preésure ex-
actly as it should do according to the theory
and as a doubt on this point has been one of
the bugbears in the way of some who have
considered this plan of steam heating, it is
worth a good deal to know that thorough and
intelligent experiments made on steam taken
from the pipes more than a mile and a quar-
ter from the generators have given such re-
sults.
Tun. oosr or Tun svsraxr.
0n the general principle that it is cheaper
to do anything on a large scale and under
skillful direction, people will readily ad-
mit that such a company as that at Troy, or
the one proposed in Hartford, can make
steam cheaper than private individuals or
firms whose chief business is of another na—
ture. Doubt has been expressed; however,
whether the investment in pipes would not
be so large as to preclude a sufficient return
from the income of the business. At Troy
however, there» is an exceptionally large
“plant" in pipe considering the present num—
ber of consumers, and yet we are told that
alreadythe point is reached where there is
no loss, and this on rates which guarantee
that no customer shall pay more for steam
than hc,has previously paid for coal. At
the same time he saves labor, avoids dust
and dirt; and secures a more uniform and
wholesome warmth than can be obtained
from any stove or furnace. It-is doubtless
true that when the number of customers is
increased the cost can be actually less than
that of the amount of coal that has been used,
and still leave a fair margin for profit to the
under-takers of the‘ project.
TESTIMONY or STEAM USERS.
In general it may be-said that-while the'
examination showed many good features in
.the plan of steam heating no tangible ob-'
jcctions to it were brougnt to light. The
testimony in its favor was strong and unani—
mous. .
The secretary of the Heating Company,
Mr. T. E. Hazlehnrst, and its engineer, Mr,
Babcock, were untiring in their efforts to ex-
plain and illustrate everything as to which
inquiry was‘made, and it is in a great meas-
ure ,due'tb their patient and courteous at—
tention that their visitors were able to obtain
on a single day information that might
otherwise have been unattainable, or have
been reached only after much djfi‘lculty and
delay. Besides the general facts stated here
a great deal of specific knowledge as to modes
of construction and operation was secured,
and many useful practical hints that _will
ultimately result in benefit to the citizens of
Hartford—Hartford Post.
/
The final word in the Maine controversy
has been spoken. The Supreme Court, while
declining to admit the legal right of the mock
Legislature to call for an opinion, neverthe—
less, in view of the public exigency, answers
its questions explicitly and with overwhelm—
,ing force. It is distinctly declared that the
Fusion Legislature is not and never was the
legal Legislature of the State. and it is quite
as positively declared. that the Republican
body is the legal Legislature. The opinion of
the Court is not long,but it states the grounds
for the decision with such plainness that none
can fail to understand them and ’few can fail
to be convinced. It breathes also that high
and patriotic spirit which has won for this
Court the respect of men of both parties, at
least outside of the State of Maine. Familiar
as the whole question has now become, there
is much in this opinion which is worthy of
attention. It will be premembered for exam—‘
that the Governor and Council claimed
that their action in issuing cerfificates to
counted-in members could not be revoked,
.even to comply with the decision of the
Court. The Court now notices this claim
only so far as to rebuke these officers for
having “disregarded” the decision, and for
having “omitted to revoke the summonses
illegally issued.” The Fusion Legislature is
declared to be illegal because it never had a
quorum, unless the men are counted who,the
Court had already shown, had no_right to
seats. In considering the additional quest-
ion whethcr there is a legal Legislature at
all in the State, several interesting points are
discussed. {The fact is noticed that the Re—
publicans delayed organizing until the 12th
of January, hoping to obtain their rights in
some way, and the Court says, with peculiar
'empliasis, that they were “forced” into the
course they took. ‘The conclusion is reached
that whatever irregularities there were in the
formation of the Republican Legislature.
there were ”no essential defects." Brushing
asides pettil'ogging claim of irregularity, the
Court says that “the voice of the people is
not on that account to be stifled, nor the true
Government to fail to be‘maintained." That
is the sentiment of all honest men. and it is
evident that even the Maine ringleaders are
ashamed that they should have defied it so
long—Tribune. '

Journalism.
During the last thirty years New York
journalism has absorbpd much of our best
talent, and well it might, for it demands the
best. No severer test can be applied to a
wrter than that of his ability to furnish ar—
ticles regularly. More than one who has
succeeded easily as a bookwright or an es- ,
iayist, has found his equipment and his
power of composition inadequate to the off—
hand production of compact, polished, well-
informed leaders, such as are needed for the
editorial pages of our great newspapers.
Journalism is an art, but under our system
it brings little beyond his weekly stipened
to the sub journalist. The stipend is sure,‘
and that means’a great deal to the one who
lives by .his pen. Newspapers thus far have
supplied the readiest market to the writer,
and the magazines next to them. In a chap-
ter upon Hood, London's journalist poet, I
have claimed that the task of daily writing
for the press, while a good staff, is a poor
crutch; it diffuses the heat of authorship,
checks idealism, retards the construction of '
masterpieces. Besides, it brings an author
into attrition with members of the craft who
possibly know him so familiarly as to un—
derrate him. He is subjected to local jeal-
ousies, to the overpraise of the newspaper
which befriends him, and sometimes to the
unjust or ungenerous treatment of riyal
sheets. All this may belthougbt an evil pe-
culiar to New York, and one which we shall-
outgrow. But the same: phenomena are
visible in the matured newspaper Me of the
capitals of England and France, and must
be accepted as a part of journalist’s warfare
and surroundings—Edmund 0. Stedman, in
Scribner.
< Celluloid. -
Celluloid is a composition of fine‘tissu
paper and campbor, treated with chemicals
by a patent process. A rather common im-
pression that it contains gun'cotton is a min
take, which arises from confoundipg it with
collodion. Celluloid, it is said, is entirely
non—explosive; and burns only when in di—
rect contact with home. When crude it
locks like a transparent gum, and its color
is alight yellow brown. It can be made as
hard as ivory, but always elastic, and can be
readily moulded into every conceivable form.
'With equal ease it can be colored in any tint
'desiredpthe dye running through the entire
substance, and being. therefore, inefface—
abe. Asaclose imitation of ivory, cellu-
loid has made great inroads in the business
of the ivory monufacturers. Its makers as
sort that in durability it. is much superior to
ivory, and it is not discolored by age or use.
Great quantities of it are used for piano and
organ keysfito the manufacture of which one
company is devoted. ,
So extensive is its use for this purpose
that the ivory manufacturers have reduced
their price of keys below that of celluloid
in the hope of checking the competition.
“It is only a question of who can hold out
longest,” said a celluloid manufacturer;
but we can make our own elephants, and
the ivory men have 'got to catch men's.”
Within the last year and a half a branch of
celluloid manufacture has :been developed
which promises to reach enormous propor-
tions. It is the, use of celluloid as a substi-
tute for linen or paper shirt cuffs, collars,
etc. It has the appearance of well-starched
linen, is sufiiciently _light and flexible, does
not wrinkle, is not affected by perspiration,
and can be worn for months without injury.
It becomoasoiled much less readily than
linen, and when dirty is quickly cleaned by
the application of a little soap and water with
a sponge or rag.

It is known that a great quantity of in-
visible and finely divided meteoric' matter is
floating in space. At the late meeting of the
American Association, Prof. Peirce express-
ed the belief that the aggregate of this _mat-
ter exceeds the mass of the visible. celestial
objects. The idea is not new, as Mr Isaac
Taylor said nearly half a century ago: "The '
invisible materilil creation, it is probable,
vastly outnumbers the visible ; and it may
justly be thought that the worldsjmade
known to us by their inherent splendor are
to the unseen only in the proportion of the
chiefs of an army to the thousands that fill
the rank and file. It is as if from the sum—
mit of a tower we were looking by night
upon a boundless plain filled with the array
of war, and could discern nothing but the
gemmed crests of the captains gleaming amid
the countless and unseen multitudes they
were leading on."

A sconcerning the subject of voice in fishes,
S. E. Poole states that some six years ago,
he made an interesting observation. While
seated in a smaltcanoe on the Disang river,

aware of the presence of a number of fish
called “mahsir.” They were evidently at-
tracted by the canoe, and Mr. Poole sur:
mised that they might possibly think it a
huge dead fish. While watching their
mobemeuts, he became aware of a peculiar
“clock" or. percussive sound—frequently
repeated on all sides and coming from below.
but near at hand. LThis was soon traced to
the mahsir, and one of them made distinct
sounds which were answered by others. Mr.
Poole also says that in some parts of Eastern
Assam alarge bivalve sings in concert with
others.
Sir William Thompson last year com--
menced a new and curious experiment on
shoemakers’ wax as a viscous material. A
large circular cake of it. about eighteen
inches thick, was made. This was put into
a shallow cylindrical glass vessel, which Qua
filled with water to prevent any sudden
change in the temperature. Seveoal corks
were put beneath the cake, with some bul—
lets on its upper surface. The result is that
in a year, the corks have floated up through
the wax and are coming out at the top.
while the bullets have sunk-through the wax
and come out at the bottom; and this has
gone on while the wax was at \BII times in
such a condition as to be excessively brittle
to any suddenly—applied force, such asablow‘
from a hammer. Mr. S. T. Bottomlyhasbeen
experimenting with the same material, and
has constructed miniature glaciers in wooden
channels, which present ‘all the phenomena
of flow to be seen in real glaciers.

their food. Moreover, of all beasts the cow
is the most useful and meritorious. Men
who do 1th discriminate between mankind
and beasts are worse then -_ senseless. Those
who sell milk darken their consciences for
gain, and those who eat cow’s milk foolishly
think they are benefiting their babies. Men
.who take medicine should first carefully
investigate aed find out its nature. ' “Why
do not those who eat cow's milk consider
and inquire into its origin? For instance, ‘
men beget children. and while the children
are small they depend upon milk for their
nourishment; so it is also with beasts. But
when men buy milk to eat, do they not
doinjury to the life of the calf? And is
there not bitter hatred and distress in the
minds of both cow and calf? Beasas can-
not speak? But if men wish' to take
strengthening medicines, there are number-
less other articles in the world that are benc-
ficial ,- and what necessity, then, is there for
taking cow’s milk r Besides this, the death
and life of men have their'fixed number
and limit, and’ this cow’s milk cannot
lengthen out andlcontinue the life of man.
Since, then. all know the truth—all know
that it cannot do this, all ought to act with
loving and benevolent spirit. Especially all
who receive this exhortation should keep
from eating milk. $19, children of those
who cause their families to refrain from out-
ing milk, will be preserved to grow up; they
also will thus lengthen out their own lives,
and will escape from evil in time. of fated
epidemics. If such persons be able also to
exhort others. who are ignorant of first prin-
ciples, to leave cf! the eating of milk, their ' '
descendants shall surelyiprosper. Publish-
ed by the Hall of Good Exhortations. .Tbe

Ling Koh.” ‘
Excavations in the vicinity of Bonn, Ger-
many. have brought 'to light’the site of an
old town, supposed to be of Roman origin.
' The remains of a large Roman villa were
discovered near by, situated a little below
the site of an extinct volcano—a circum—
stance tending to show that at the time'of
the Roman occupation volcanoes of the
Rhine ceased to be dangerous.
The sunflower is turned to extraordinary
account in Lithuania. The seeds yield lit
first pressure excellent salad oil, and the resi-
due forms excellent nil cake for cattle, who
also relish the leaves and stalks chopped up.
The flows a little short of full bloom are,
when coo ed, nearly as good as artichokes,
and are in the garden very attracti o bees.
The leaf well dried is used as tobacco. The
seed receptacles are made into blotting paper,
and the, inner part of the stalk is manufactur- ’
ed into fine writing paper. The more woody
portions of the plant, which attains great
size, are used for fuel. The best seed is ob-
tained in .the Crimea. As an anti-malaria
agent the sunflower is most valuable.

“John, did you take the nete to Mr.
Jones 1"? “Yes, but I don’t think he can read
it." “Why so, John 7" “Because he is blind
sir. While I was in the room he asked me
twice where my hat was, and it was on my
head all the time." ' .
Several young men were sitting together,
and a young lady happened to ap roach the
vicinity. One “real sweet” young ellow see-
ing, as be supposed, the young lady looking
at him, remarked layfully, and with a be-
coming simper, “ ell. Miss ——-, you needn’t
look at me as though you wanted to eat me.”
“Oh, no,” sweetly replied the onus lady,
“I never eat greens.”—_Oil City ck.

Honesty the Best Policy.
The other day, as a keen-looking business
man, with his hat worn on the nape of his
neck, was standing on Clark street, a simple,
gawky—looking country lad of nineteen, with.
a big envelope in his hand and his mouth and
eyes wide open, came sauntering along, look-
ing anxiously at all the signs, which he was
apparently spelling out. The business man
being naturally kind—hearted and desiring to
do a friendly turn to a stranger, said to the
boy: “Hi, sonny, what are you looking for 7
Let me see that letter.”
“NO. I can’t let you have that letter;
.there’s bonds in it,” said the boy; but p’raps
you can tetlme where Mr. Smith lives round
here. The boss told me the number, but I’ve
forgotten it, and the letter has got bonds in
it, and so I ain’t to give it to anybody but
him.”
“Why, I’ve been waiting for you this half
hour,” said the keen business man, as his
face brightened up, “waiting for you to bring
me those bonds which I bought of What’s—
his—name.” '
“Be you Mr. Smith ?" said the boy.
“Well, now, I'm right glad I met you, be-
cause I’d clean forgot what was the number
where the boss said you lived,and I wouldn’t
have liked to have gone back to him without
finding you ; it would have looked as if I
was careless.”
With these remarks the lad took out a big
envelope marked “J. Smith, Esq, present,”
in the upper corner “$2,500 U. S. 5—20‘5,”
' and in the lower “Commission due, 55:5.
Plearse remit by bearer.”
“That’s all right, sonny,” said the keen‘
looking business man, as be hauled out a
scantily furnished purse, gave the boy a $55
bill anda quarter, and said, “There, sonny,
that quarter is to reward you for your clever-
ness and fidelity,” and, putting the envelope
in his breast pocket, he walked leisurely
round the corner, ran ‘to Dearbou street with
the speed of a deer, skipped lightly round to
Madison, and hailing a car, was Whirled
away at a comparatively lightning speed.
Not till he had reached Union Park did he
draw the precious envelope from his pocket,
and, with the remark, “Pray heaven they are
not registered !” tore it open. He then found
that the envelope contained a copy of the
Chicago Tribune, which he could have pur—
chased at the office for five cents. Mean-
while the simple‘ country lad, entering a sa-
loon in the vicinity of the Sherman House.
has absorbed a beer, salted away the $5 bill
with seven others in his pocket—book, and,
with the remark, “The fish is biting very
numerously today,” takes another big cu-
velope from his pecket and once more sailed
forth in search of a keen-looking business

“Two Majority.” .
"No, I don’t mean exactly to assert that
Republicans are any more honest, as a rule,
than Democrats,” said a Republican M. C.
from Nebraska during a heated political dis-
cussion in the Baldwin reading room the :
other night, “but I would like to relate a lit—
tle ineldent of my own personal canvass that
struck me with much force. Just after my
nomination I took a careful census of my
district, which is a small one, and was sur—
prised to discover that the election would
surely result in a tie vote, there being exact-
ly an equal number of Democrats and Re—
publicans to_a man. Well, the day before
election an old farmer who lived near me
was passing through some timber, carrying a
lot of poisoned meat and bread intc'nded for
a troublesome fox which had been depleting
his chicken house, when two rascals jumped .
out of the bushes,knocked the Old man down,
and. tying him to a tree, proceeded to rob
him. While they were so engaged it occur~
red lo the farmer to beg them very piteously
to spare his lunch, as he had eaten nothing
all day. They immediately sat down and cat
the bread and meat before his face, laughing
loudly at the joke. In ten minutes they were
stupefied, and when the old man was releas-
ed, a few hours later, the robbers were both
dead.” _ .
.“Well, I don’t see what that’s got to do
with the subject,” said one of the disputants.
“Just this: The next day I was elected by
exactly two majority~don’t you grasp the
idea '1’”-
And the silence could have been cut with
a knife as the Democrat ordered more beer.

Bob Ingersoll walks up to a large ancient
structure,shakes his fist pulls off his coat and
goes to work to tear it down. “What are
you doin’, Bob ?" asks a locker on. "Going to
tear the old/thing down,” says Bob; “don’t
like the looks of it.” “We’ll," says the locker:
on, “suppose now, instead of trying to tear
that ‘old thing’ down, you go to work and
put up another to beat it ; and if you beat it,
why then I’ll turn in and help you pull down
this one.” “Oh, go West,” says Bob; “I’m

“You may pray till you die, but the Lord
will never forgive you for shooting a man in

he has twice tried to kill himself. a. ,
'An exploring party has made wonderful
discoveries in a cave in Adams County,0hio,
supposed to be the work of the mound build-
ers In Tiflin township is a plateau 200
acres, surrounded by high hills. At a de—
pression in the plateau there is a well three
feet-in diameter and twenty-five feet deep.
Persons have frequently descended into the
well and .cxpolred the cavernous chambers
of mathematical regularity to which it leads;
On the walls of the chambers may be seen
among other writings the inscription “Von
Brody, 1789,” made by that Indian hunter,
who preceded the “Ohio Company" in 1786.
In the fourth chamber, reached through a
narrow passage, had long ago been found a
well ten feet in diameter, and of unknoWn
depth. It 'was to learn the secret of this
well that two merchants. a lawyer and two
newspaper writers provided themselves with
a rope ladder, implements for breaking stone
and lanterns. They descended fifty feet
into the well, where- they found a narrow
gallery fifty feet long, leading by a gradual
descent to achamber 224 feet long, 110 feet
wide and 24 feet high. In the centre of the
shamber was found a large mausoleum,
corved out of the solid rock and covered
with devices, inscriptions and has—reliefs.
On a stone couch, in its centre, lay the stone
figure of aman of giant proportions and well-
carved. A cprvcd winged cap or helmet
covered the head. Carved vases, decorated
with flowers and leaves stood at the corners
of the couch. A copper lamp hung suspend—
ed above the head of the figure. Twenty
smaller tombs were found against the walls
of the chamber, and twenty-five faces had
been painted on the wall near the entrance.
A tomb was broken open,and revealed a well
preserved mummy 9 feet 1 inch in length.
The hair was-of fine texture, black and curly.
A copper spear head, almost as hard as a file,
several copper utensils, a cup, two plates
and a small urn were also found in the tomb.
Wrapped in varnished cloth at the head of-
the mummy, lay a book of 100 thin copper
leaves, on which characters had been on-
graved. These statements are made in a
special dispatch published in the Cincinnati?
Commercial. .
