| mense when such vast numbers were employed.

But captives of war could only do rough work. They might build the Gol- iseum or the pyramids, directed by an army of skilled craftsmen. But the sculpture of Assyrian palaces, the paint- ing of Egyptian temples and tombs, must have been effected by artists, probably free, or, if slaves, trained at great ex- pense.

When-we read that the city of Dur-

standing on a mound of brick 700 acres in area, its walls 60 feet high, broad enough ‘for seven chariots to run abreast, and faced with stone, all the evidence | is needed to make us credit the stary, but ‘the wmarvel becomes fer greater when we:observe the milesof sculptured stone that cecorated Sargon’s palace with colossal bulls on each side of every | doorway. .No unpracticed hand carved those reliefs. They are the work of .art* ists. Wevre.all the sculptors of the:em- pire summoned to this task, to be din- ished in eight years? private individuals in Egypt must have been painted, at the ccst of the family, by masters of the craft. Animals:and birds show.a skill not to be surpassed. We may 8e.quite sure that-work dike this was highly paid—by comparison, that is, with slave labor.

So the qnestion recurs, How much guid and silver did these ancients pos- sess? In the.ioman time men appear *to have been struck with the evidence «of vast wealth displayed by their predecas- sors, such asithe Ceesars could sot equal. But they eseaped the difficulty with easé by granting them riches literally beyond the dreams of avarice. Dr, Ar- buthnot, for example, has patiently reckoned up :the amount of treasure heaped upon fke pile of Sardanapalug by Athenwus, and he finds that it cams to £16,953, 120,000 in cur money at the least, for if a computation which Athe- neeus himself suggests be admitted the total would be :about twice as large. After this the statement of Diodorus— that the Pharaohs.counted upon a reve- nue of £133,000,000 annually from gold mines in the Bishari desert and drew an equal sum by taxation—is very mod- erate. But when the same most valua- ble writer—who talked nonsense only when he repeated ‘the words of other men—comes to deal with Babylon he lets himself go. There wasa gold statue of Zeus (the Greek assigned his own gods to Babylon as usual) 40 feet high; of Rhea equally tall,.with a lion of gold at each knee and ailver serpents to correspond; Juno weighed 50° talents; in front of her was a golden table, 500 talents, upon which stood two cups, 800 talents each, and three bowls, 1,200, G00 and 600 talents. These orna- ments of a single temple represented about £11,000,000, and the building was covered with gold plates.

It has been calculated that the statue of Nebuchadnezzar mentioned in Daniel would be worth £3,500,000; that the treasure left by David ammanted tc £150,000,000 in gold, £200,060,000 in silver, but the value of the Hebrew tal- ent is doubtful. We are told that Pyth- ens, seemingly a private gentleman of Phrygia, entertained Xerxes and all his army, ‘‘with most sumptuous ‘easts,”’

“Experiences of a Night on the Summit of the Weird Mountain. Throwing off the life line, which had

become almost au intolerable burden, I

scaled the pile of bare rocks and gained

the rim of the crater. The great bowl within was deeply filled with snow, but the black circle forming its rim could be distinctly traced. Descending the in-

ner slope for about 100 feet, I found a _ place where steam was issuing from a crevice in the rocks and warmed my benumbed fingers. Soon my companions joined me, and wo tceok refuge in one of the many caverns that the heat of the rocks and of the escaping steam had melted in the lower portion of the snow and ice partially filling the crater. In these weird caverns one may descend far beyond the light of day. The white vapors drifting silently through the climly lighted passages assume grotesque shapes and suggest to the imaginative visitor'that spirits of the time when Pluto’s reign was supreme there make their homes,

the cracks from which steam was issu- ing we soon had water enough with

| which to prepare tea. In the absence of

sugar and cream a little -alcohc! from the supply brought for fuel was added te each cup and proved a welcome stimulant. Making ourselves as com- fortable.as possible under the circum- stances, we passed the night in the cay- ern of ice. There were no ledges broad enough to lie down on, and we were forced to stand or crouch against the hot rocks all night. The floor of our cavern sloped steeply and led down to an ugly opening of unknown depth be- tween the descending roof of ice and the rocks. To guard against accidents, the life line was stretched across the cavern and made fast to crags. This proved a wise precaution, as we were able during the night to walk up and down with the rope in our hands and avoid the stiffness and discomfort that come from remaining long in one posi- tion.—Israel C. Russell in Scribner’s.
