ANCIENT MARVEL OF EGYPT Years Ago Was a Structure ~of Colossal Size. King Minos, with his labyriath on the island of Crete, is generally supposed to have been the originator of the maze idea; but Egypt bas a labyrinth, too, and Egypt manages to hold the frecord for antiquity in almiost everything, labyrinths included. : This Egyptian labiytinth is 3500 years old. It is merely a chaotic mass of rocks piled ap In the desert a few wiles out”of Medinet. The outlines of the walls merge dimly here and there from the ruins, end from these outines, and the carvings on the stones. Egyptologists deduce that the laby. rinth was built by a certain King Labarys, who was more popularly known as Amenemhat 1L

The structure was 500 by 620 feet: It contained 3000 rooms, half above ground, half below. Remember that the largest hotel in our present day world boasts about that number of rooms on a dozéen floors and covers a city square, and sowme idea of the size of the two-story labyrinth can be galned., - - -

Nobody has figured out yet why King Amenemhat bulit this enormous palace or tomb. In the lower, story, history says. the sacred crocodiles and kings were buried, while the upper floor, was, a few centuries after King Amenemhat’s time, used as a seat of government. t

The labyrinth was a wonderful place, one of the most wonder®al In Egypt, If our ideas of it are correect, and {ts greatness. was its downfall The citizens of a near-by town, who worshiped the Ichneumon, resented the sacred crocodiles of the labyrinth, And so they made an attack upon one of King Amenemhat's successors and reduced the largest structure in Egypt to a ruin.

LAND OF RACIAL TEMPESTS

Dalmatia Has Been av Unquiet Spot in All the Years of f-ler " Tragic History,

Dalmatia, elongated so that it is nowhere more than 35 miles wide, tapering down to but a mile at Cattgro, has been swept by continuous racial tempests for the last eight centuries. Croats and Serbians constitute the Slavic -element in Dalmatia, speaking the same language, but employing two alphabets. The Serbs use the Russian, and the Croats the Latin letters and alphabet. - . The Latin influence is more prevalent In the cities, the story of Dalmatia being the reason therefor. In the middie ages the Dalmatians were a people without the consciousness of a comtry, During the Slav influx into Niyria the fnvaders encountered little opposition, except in: the seaport towns. The Latin element in the cities resisted the migration and thus engendered the wstrife for supremacy which persists to this day. y 5 - Much of the early Dalmatian rivalry was economic, the tradesmen and farmers naturally wishing to exchange their goods with the Hungsrians, The maritime cities preferred -to do business with Venice, which controlled the Adriatic. : : ¢

How Chinese Use Peach Stones.

~Women and children are to be in the markets of China picking §§ peach stones, which are put to severa uses. Broken into pleces and dried in the sun, they furnish excellent material for fuel. SRS :

Another profitable use of the peach stone is made by artists and eéngravers, who carve them into different forms of animals. Some of the larger stones, if round enough, are carved Into finger rings. During the season one may see in thq interior of South China yards of paor people full of peach stones drying in the sun. After being cleaned, the small stones are used for fuel, groups of small bovs picking out the larger ones, : The kernels are sometimes sold to chemists and druggists, They are preserved in bottles and used as cough medicine after the kernels are turned into white powder. This white powder is a very popular, convenient and cheap medicine for poor people In many villages as a remedy for coughs. = , i g

Scientist Was Fooled.

A few years ago Doctor Emmens, a distinguished American scientist, was convinced that he had discovered & “missing element” between gold and silver, which he called “argentaurum.” He melted Mexican dollars in a crucible, dissolved the silver with nitrie acid, and exhibited a residue of undeniable gold. ; "

Explanation lay in the fact that there was originally some gold in the silver out of which the dollars were minted. This is commonly the case (owing to imperfect metallurgical processes) with' the older Mexican coins. :

Chinese Study Real Work.

Even a Chinese pocket dictionary contains more than. 10,000 characters represeiiting words, and if a man intends "really to master Chinese he must learn to recognize them all—“a stupendous task.” However, 8,000, 4,000 or 5,000 syllables are all that a Chinese of average education requires, and, if anyone will persevere until he has thoroughly conquered a thousand, he will be in a position to have some appreciation of a novel and to master | the difficulties of a simple business document. But for the sincere student j a thousand characters Is the minimum.

Of the 450,000 American students in institutions of higher gndo. onehalf are in institutions founded and supported by theChurches. Many of these institutions have had nogreat endowment campaigns, but their needs are just as pressing as the needs of larger schools; and you have only to read their list of alumniand alumnae to measurethe value of their contribution to America.

Each denomination has its own detailed budget, and - will administer its own funds. Your pastor has copies of the budget: examine them for yourself. In the week of April 25th-May 2nd you will be given your opportunity to help.
