Thh last occasion on which the
great sphinx was jlear-i'l down to
the level on which the paws, rest was
in houor of the evening ot t lie-Suez
Canal in ISO'S. The" ever-ilriftin
sands had. relumed It almost to
the throat when l'rorl'essor Masperu,
d tiring his last year of otricje in
Boulak, began again the work of dis
interment. This work has now been
going on somewhat intermittently for
mote thau ' twelve months and is at
the present time m active progress
uuder " the direction - of Professor
Masper'cfs successor, M." Greiiaut. '"A
tramway has been laid down from
Sphinx to the edge of the pyramid
plateau, passing close under the west
face of the granite building popular
ly though incorrectly called the
Temple of the Sphinx, Along the
tramway light trucks convey the
sand iu the point at which their con
tents are discharged, the trucks be
iug headed bv Apibs of both sexes
and ad ayes, who carry the sand up
on their heads in large flat baskets,
ascending and deeeuding ail day long
from the excavations below to the
tramway above, and vice versa.
1 tie means Iook curiously luddcjuaie,
but the results are astonishing. Al

great stone monster is laic bare, ana

is this all. Between the Sphinx and
the edge of ti e py a nid plateau a
vast space has aiso been cleared, thus
bringing to v;aw a tine flight of ottps
forty feet in width. These steps,
which are described by Hiny, were
uncovered, by Cavigiia in 1817, but
have been entirely lost to sight for
nearly seventy years. A second
flight of steps aud thg remains of two
Kotiian buildings were also found by
Cavigiia, and will aga-n be brought
toligctif M. Grebaut continues to
work in this direction.
To ti.e riyhtof the Sphiux that it
is to say, . ui the direction of the
granite-templi to the southward a

the huge, human-headed monster,
whose battered countenance stands
out against the ciondluss sky one
huiitel Icet above. The space be
uveeii the paws is thirty-live feet
i.itig and ten wide. This space
anciently converted into small sanct
uary, lined with yotive tablets,
only one of which the famous stela
of Tiioaioiiies 1 yet remains in
situ. Tins stela records how the
king, when upon on of his hunting
expedition:-, lay down to rest in the
shadow of the Sphinx. He there
iell asleep, and dreamed a dream in
which the vetierabie image conjured
turn to clear away sand m which it
was nearly buried. Then the prince
awoke and inaue stance in nis
heart, "aud resolved to do that which
the god had commanded.
The paws of the Sphinx, as they
how appear, are a restoiation ol
lio'.nan uate, being cased in compar
atively small slabs, and to gome ex
it nt hollow underneath. The tireast
ol the Sphinx has likewise
been laced with slabs, apparently in
Roman times; and these slabs have
again been repaired by cutting away
the weathered surface and inserting
a fresh facing. Like the legs of the
Colossi of the Plain and those of the
great statues at Ajoo Simbel, the
paws of the Sphinx are covered with
the Greek scrawls of early travelers;
but these Graffi-ti are mostly of a
late period, and so slightly scratched
that few are legible throughout.
Such as they are, however, Profes

erraan can distinguish sponges from
other forms of marine plant life at
the depth of fifty or sixty or moin -feet.
When first tken from their
fastnesses sponges appear and leel
like pieces of ra' soit liver, be ing
slippery, elastic, ugly and repul sue..
In color they range from dirty pur
ple to dull chocolate.
Having been brought to the deck
of the lisherman's schooner the
sponges are washed, rubbed an t
dried. They are then strung on
j strands, aud are washed down thre.j
times a day, until the sohoouer reach
es one of its crawls.
Crawls are half-submerged stock
ades of .aplings, generally aspodillas
and uufamilar sub-tropical growths,
bound together by manna and pal
metto tiber. The catch is deposited
in these and kept uuder the wat .r
until the vessel makes its final roui: i
and draws its deposits, prepaiatory
to taking thtin to Nassau.
Spouges are extraordinary plenti
ful in this part of the globe. It may
surprise anybody who has just paid a
dollar or so for a bath or sponge at -i
Broadway drug store to learn that he
could duplicate it in Nassau for 7
cents, or buy a strand of simil.n:
sponges, fresh from a corl reef, for
(iO ceuts. That is one reason why bo
! many are. taken home by sagacious
tourists as "trifles I picket! up in
Nassau."
A sponge famine would be more
disastrous in tiie Bahamas than thu
August hurricane. The trade amounts
to more than 250,000 annually, and
is more important than the fruit
groing industry. Over 5,000,000
sponges, are annually dragged from
the sea. The dusky aunties who pre
side over Bahama kitchens use tho
articles as dish rags aud towels.
Sponges are used impartially foi
household articles in ways sometiim s
startling. It is a novel sensatit.n
when sitting down iu a chair to de
scend luxunruslvto hj sure, but un
expectedly ' and- ectpitatedlytf nf
dtsconver that the cusiou is a gigantic;
"Key Wester." The climax is capped
whenone oi the dainty lingers of a
cup sponge is offered as a cigar-holder.
The prominence of the sponge in
dustry is shown by the cargo list of
1; si steamer which left Nassau for
New York. Ti e vess 1 was theCIen
tnegos, and the pursers entries were

sea shells, 4i! head green tin tie, S34

As long cranes are unwieldy,.
sponges just below the surface are
generally safe from the eliorts of the
lishermeu. The water from the Hola
m the VY alLpassage, a channel di
viding the high oceanic plateau of the
Bahamas is deep. .In many plac-js

A couple from Davie county, N. -C,
Mr. and Mrs. Coon, who" were
married a few weeks ago, are roam
ing through that fctate begging
bread. Coon at the time was a
pauper in the Davie county poor
house and his wife was the cook.
He said he paii a Baptist preacher

them. Their first bridal tour was
to Morganton to visit a cousin of
Mrs. Coon, who was there in the
asylum, and thence they tramped
to Hickory, where they applied to
the ' authorities to let them rest,
awhile in the poorhouse of that
county.
Coon seems matter-of-fact iu

lirst sight, he said : "No,. I allers
did like Sally ; she made sich pow
