tia as the late Governor Mathews did
i fnw years no when ho put an end
to pjlsc nglitlng at Roby. This threat
was effective and it is said that today
will witness the permanent closing of
tho resorts.
Both places have been operated in ho
tels in which Thomas Taggart chair-1

of at least a million dollars.

O THE DAWN OF CIVILIZATION. O
O -1 . O
O (By Nclie Catherine Bunynn.) O
O o
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
For the Leador: Slrango It la that we
should find- tho first recorded triumphs
Of civilization in that bart of ther-wrld
that seems tho least ndjiptcd A6 Its
progress. AfrleA alone remains the moat
unenlightened umong the nations of the
world. Scorched under a torrid sun. its
grentor part tho upheaved bed of a sea
remains -tore Inipnn-ilile thun the trn-k-
!ets deep and beyond tns barren was'e
aro miloa nnd miles of thlek Jungle
nboundlng tn fierce -wild animals echo-
ing with the cries of gorgeously plumed
Iroplea: birds and the chatter of the
monkeys as they sport among Its tangled
branches. Here the hideous cannibal
tribes vie with one another for the su-
premacy of this comparatively unknown
region. Winding In nnd out among the
thicket a listless river Hows nnd sprawl-
ing on the banks or nnon sliding with
a lazy plunge Intd'its tophi waters huge
icptlles live unmolested by mnn. Thus
Is the major ponton of tho country that
fostered who young elvlllxatlon the mon-
uments of which oxlat today In nearly us
perfect condition ns they did when tho
haughty IMa.Tt.oljs ruled monarchs of all
they surveyed. Egypt embraces a long
narrow strip of territory known as the
Nile valley tho most productive spot on
the glebe. Herodotus In a liappy thought
calla It the "gift of tho Nile." And
truly jt is to the river that the coun-
iy owes its very existence for every
'iumn swollen by tropical rilns of the
Interior and filled to overllow ing with
fonmtng torrents from melting glaciers
the river spreads a film or ' rlt h blaek
alluilum oer ihc valley and In No-
vember when the stream lias returned
to its bed tho farm'r stutters his grain
over the newly covered fields and drives
a flock of sheep or goals acrors them to
tread In the seed and In n few weeks
the country so lately a sturbld sen Is
overspread with a wealth of waving ver-
dure. This fact that the land yield
so abundantly with such Uttlo labor
lnrgoly accounts for tho oppression to
which tho people wero subjected. Since
tho greater part of tho year they wovld
bo in idleness the rulers set them to
building those imperishable monuments
which tell us today of the virtues and
noble deeds of tho Pharaoh that ruled
flvo thousand years ago. But In between
those lines of marvolously wrought hier-
oglyphics wo may read of tho suffering
and oppression of thoso who labored to
erect thoso mountains of stone
Tho origin of tho Egyptians Is V6lled
In the same obscurity that hovers over
the bethiuliig of moat other nations nnd
their motives for coming Into north-
eastern Africa were probably tho same
aa thoso which usually Induce the migra-
tion of other peoples namely tho over-
crowding of tho original places of habi-
tation nnd restless spirit within which
over draws tho race with tho animal
and vegetable llfo toward to west. This
laws appears to be world-wide In Its ope-
ration.
The Egyptians wero so nearly perfect
In many of their acts that wo of tho
present century nre unable to Improve
upon them. Tho mnnufneturo of glots
wae practiced In Egypt moro than four
thousand years ago. In making Imita-
tion Jewels tho ninalent glass blowers re-
main unsurpassed and they also Ini

datlen ef the Nile following elotfaly tho
ehnnginr cycle of stars det.royed tho
old landmarks and compelled tho prop-
erty ho'dw to adopt a nwe ntnblo
method of readjusting tho boundaries of
his bosseeslons. Tho coimuy t rich In
gold mines nnd thero is abundant cvl-
enco vthnt mining flourished on an ex-
totiolve soalo In the very ently caya. Tho
Egyptian government haw recently grant-
ed concession to forrigtiets In largo
tracts of tho country tho prospecting"
and developing of wh'ch are In tho
hands of several leading firms Of Eng'
llsh mining erfglncors. A writer enthu-
siasts over tho prospect calls Egypt
the California of the old civilization" of
the oast. Wfe as yet aro unable to dls-
covor tho means by which they pro-
duced such a complete preservation of
bod'es by embalming them. There Is
no doubt but that tho clhnato gTcatly
assisted them in tho proficiency they
havo achieved in this branch of science.
In architecture tho Kgyptlnn Is at his
best; In building his homo he dMys
no laek of good taste and skill. In tho
palaces and temples wc find a heavier
moro Impressive style of graducr.
Chlof among tho archllpctural triumphs
might bo monvloned tho great temple
called tho labyrinth containing six
roofed courts six to the north nnd six
to tho south opposite onch other theso
wero then surrounded with a vast wall
half of the temple was underground each
division containing 1.600 apartments
homos for the snered crocodiles nnd the
spirltstW deud kings. So vast and com-
plicated aro its winding ways that a
traveler w'thout a guide could never cx-
trtoato himself from tho Infinite com-
plexity of the palaces around him An-
other celebrated palace was the tcmplo
at El ICarnac the remnlns of which
form tho moat inojeqtlc ruins In tho
world.
There is ono remarkable thing to bo
observed in studying tho archnocluro of
the Egyptians that Is that they made
no practical use of their knowledgo of
tho arch. That they possessed this
knowledgo Is known since in a few In-
stances Tdies havo boon found among
their buildings.
But tho mind of tho Egyptian could
not soar out Into the groat beyond and
there cntchlng vision of tho beautiful
onrve out the magnificent statues of a
Phydlas or a Polycletus; It must be con-
tent with the dull hcayy Impressive
styles.
As tho religion so la the art and ti
feeling of Badness creeps over the on-
looker ns ho beholds vthe'tc treasures of
antiquity and tho thought Is over pres-
ent that they wero all erected nut as
tribute to the bravo heroes of the bat-
tle not as resting places for tho tired
traveler wonr'cd by a trip across tho
desert; not schools fur the education of
tho children and triumphs of their civil-
ization but homes for the spirits of
departed klnc. and tributes to Osiris
nnd Isls. Already under the influence
of a kindlier religion nnd that higher
civilization that everywhere goes hand
tn hand with it all tho friends of Africa
turn with hdpejulncs's toward Egypt
tiiat early progenitor of civilization that
for so many years has slumbered among'
tho sands and bullrushes of tho Nile.
Railways nnd colleges mingle pictur-
esquely with pyramids and sphinxes
whllo tho snowy sails of ships bearing
htthcr the products from other ports of
tho world form a fitting background.
Not on tho ruins of old Egypt but sldo
by sUlo with it rises the now.
