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*

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.
