A Sketch of Hypatia Who Flourished in the Old City of Alexandria. i The Alexandria of AD. 400 was a wonder: | ful city. Into its streets from the sand hills | j of the desert long trains of camels apd count-| less boats brought the abundant harvests of the Nile. A ship canal connected the harbor of Eunostus with Lake Marcotis. The harbor was a forest of masts. Seaward, looking over | the blue Mediterranean, was the great light- house, the Pharos, one of the wonders of the world. To protect the shipping from the north wind was a mole three-quarters of a mile lopg, with drawbridges that were a niar- vel of 'engineering skill. Two great 'streets! crossed; where they intersected stood the mausoleum in which rested the body of Alex- ander. - The city was full of noble edifices -- palaces, exchanges, halls of justice, temples,' theatres, symagogues. Conspicious above alt} was the mighty Serapion, approached on the | one side by a slopé for carriages amd om the { 1 other by its flight of a hundred marble steps. With its 500,000 population, its art, science and philosophy, Alexandria was first city in the world. And greatest | thing in this greatest city was a woman--! beaatiful, gifted and noble i - Hypatia was the daughler of the asily Alexan "| drian philosopher and mathematician, Theon, | a man of transcendant ahility, whose high powers were inherited to the full by his daughter. Beautiful as a dream, bright a al seraph, pure as an angel, Hypatia wa the | same time intellectual giantess, deep in | philosophy, thoroughly posted in science, well | { up in history and versed in the wisdom of her day and generation. She had, too, ardent de- sire to impart that knowledge to the world and she possessed to a remarkable the faculty of imparting it 5 eloquerice | To th he lectured men and women flocked from the ends of the earth A hundred waited to hea for} at an degree tse. in which academy her marvellous voice This extraordinary wor what be termed in this day a "rationalist" Ecle tic in spirit, she took what seemed the truth from whatever source it might come, on the simple score of it Hier motto was "Not authority but truth for tauthority." What reasonable to her | |she gladly accepted; what seemed unreason able she boldly rejected. A free lance al sort of holy priestess of the truth universal-- she fearlessly talked to thousands anxious to} listen to her, demanding as her reward only | the satisfaction of knowing that she was free- ing men from superstition and leading them/ up to the truth that makes for freedom, pro-| gress and civilization. Brighter than the) gleam of the great torch that flamed outover the wide blue sea from the summit of Pharos | was the intellectual radiance created by | Theon's daughter! It was wonderfull The torch of the Pharos long ago went out; the Pharos itself fell and was broken up into} junk; but the light that Hypatia kindled in Alexandria's city can perish only with the ex-| tinction of humanity itself. { Hypatia's death, terrible as it was, was in| | perfect keeping with her life. She loved [truth, was heart and soul seli-dedicated to | truth, and for truth she died. One day as the| beautiful girl was on her way to the academy | to meet the thousands anxiously waiting, she| was set upon by a pack of savages. She was dragged from her chariot, stripped and club- | bed to death. After heaping indignity upon the naked body they dismembered it, and fin- ished the work by scalping the flesh from the | bones with oyster shells and casting the rem- | pants into the fire. Thus perished Hypatia. Fortunately it is possible to kill the truth seeker and the truth speaker, but truth itself} is immortal and sooner or later triumphs over | all enemies. 13 id nan wa would own merit for truth, seemed m------------ { SIAKWE"S CONTRIBUTION.
