LAMAR, K’ A most extraordinary disease, ex- tremely infections and reaembling smallpox among human Krings, has broken out among the statues in the Egyptian room of the National mu seum here, says an Athens (Greece) correspondent of the New York Times. A few days ago the distin guished politician and archaeologist. Mr. Stephancm Skouloudes, noticed some, st range green marks on one of the bronze statues of the famous Egyptian collection presented to th< museum in 18« 1 by Mr. Demetrios, of Alexandria. He at once communi cated his discovery to the curator, who called in experts to examine the statue in question. They pronounced the marks to be <n? to nn infectious complaint, to which bron<e is liable, and which gradually spreads from thp surface of the object affected to the inside, till the whole crumbles away into dust. The other bronze statues in the same room were then inspected, with the result that they w/»re all found to be more or less tainted with the disease, while five of them had taken it in a most ng- gravated form. These five are the statues of Anta, the goddess of war; of Maoiit. wife of Jupiter Ammon: of Isis, and two «intues of (Kiri*. on* of them of the greatest value, Worse spread that that, the infection hav I eon- to the Mycenaean room. which ’ tain« the results of the • late Dr. Schliemann's excavations » in 1*<7fi. There a dagger, which was found in the fourth and finest of the six tombs, has fallen a victim to the mal- adv. Altogether about fifty statues are badly affected, and the lows will be enormous unless the plague can l»e stayed. A hading Athenian chemist pronounces the cau«e of the malady to Iw the presence of salt in the bronze of which the statues are made, and his remedy is to extract , it by means of bath«. Mr. Moniphe rnatoa. the minister under whose de- i partment the museum com*!, is tak ing steps to save th? bronze«. C. & E. Thayer DEALERS IN FIB & SPRUCE Lumber Speak» In Hiffh Terma of tbe Enter prise and Adaptability of the Average Amerkan anal Hla Acconipllihmeul«. American« are known, in whatever quarter of the world chance hap pens to throw them, by their mar velous self-reliance and independence. A typical American is never at a loss what to do with himself, writes Wu Ting-Fang in Success. If, by some enchantment he were whisked uwav over night and set down in the middle of Timbuctoo, he would, doubtless, when he should awake the next morning, be astonished, but be fore luncheon he would be busily en gaged in some business enterprise, so readily does he adapt himself to cir cumstances. In every instance he knows how to take care of himself, but perhaps the real secret of his success is that he knows hew to make the most of his opportunities. An American student usually real izes that education is the stepping- stone to achievement. He studies with the expectation of fitting him self for the profession or occupation he is ultimately to enter, lie makes the most of himself as a student, that he may be able to make the most of himself in his chosen career. All through his course <^<f study this idea is instilled into his mind, and the consequence is that he leaves his college or university well prepared to enter upon life’s activities. He i« sure of himself, I may also add that the schools of the United States, both public and collegiate, are the erovvn- ing glorv of this young'and great re public. No words can bestow upon them too high praise. No estimate can be put upon the good which they are accomplishing in training young women as well as young men for fu ture usefulness. Systematic educa tion is reaching its highest form in this country. Its results nre so prac- ♦ienl that the country cannot help but advance. The intelligence of the average American in w.orthy of note. This. [ take it, is due in large measure not only to the excellent schools, but also to the innumerable news^a^ers and other publications. T have found, in all parts of the country, that in every town of any size there is pub lished a daily paper, and that the metropolitan publications circulate in the homes of the most remote cor ners of the land. The abilities to seize hits opnortu- nities, which is characteristic of the American, is seen in the business en terprises of the country. Its itwlus- trial machinery is adinsted to the production of its wealth on a scale of unprecedented magnitude. This is a valuable condition. American brain* and American capital are reaching out to control Hie markets of the w.orld. and. with good reason, other nations are watching the ef forts with keen interest. China is but awakening to its vast possibili ties, and more and more will she wel- come the American merchant nnd American commerce within her bor- ders. American enterprise is now building a railway from Hankow to Canton, and, no doubt, other roads will soon l»e building. China’s rivers and harbors are to be improved, and there will be more and more demand for American steel, rails and other products. OF Truckee Lumber Co., PRAISES AMERICANS. ABSTRACT ANI» TRUST CO.
