"seven wonders i were contained within {territory which at the outbreak of | {the war was (including Egypt) under | the sovereignty of Turkey. The ex- {ception was the Colossus of Rhodes, {a gigantic statue of bronze that, {cording to tradition, straddled the tharbor of that city with its legs, be- {tween which tall-masted vessels were lable to pass As a matter of fact, it did nothing of the kind. The Colossus. stood on Ithe shore at the entrance of the har- tbor, the above-mentioned city being {the principal seaport of the Island of Rhodes, now Belonging te Greece. "Frightfulness" is nothing new in iwar, Of the civilizations of past | ages few structural memorials re- {main, because of wholesale military vandalism. Chiefly owing to destruc. {tion thus caused, there are now in existence only two of the ancient wonders, and thesé in a damaged {condition -- namely, the so-called { Vocal Memnon and the Pyramids of { Egypt. The remaining five were the {Temple of Diana at Ephesus, the | Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the | Pharos at Alexandria, the Mausol+ | nm of Queen Artemisia, and the {Rhodes Colossus. v The Vocal Memnon was one of two gigantic statues, <ach of them nearly seventy feet high and cut out of a single block cof reddish sand- stone, which the Pharaoh Amemo- phis 11. set up to flank the road ap proaching a superb temple that he erected on the hanks of the Nile. Both were meant to be portraits of himself. In later years (sandstone being friable stuff) one of them de- veloped a considerable crack; but it never occurred to anybody to regard the fracture as possibly connected with a very peculiar phenomenon ex- hibited by the image. Every morning soon after sunrise it gave out an audible sound, which to the imaginative resembled a ery. In those dave of ignorance anything that 'was ot understood was "Rt(ri- buted to the supernatural, and so it is not surprising that the Egyptians should have thought a god was speaking.

ABNORMALLY HIGH RETURNS Are Being Reaped by the Farmers During the War, Ottawa Journal Kingston despatchs carry the in- teresting information that since the beginning of the war the farmers of Frontenac County have reduced chat- tel mortgages from a quarter of a million to fifty thousand dollars, Ev- erybody, of course, will be glad to hear that the hardy sons of Fron- tenac's soil are doing so splendidly, but a whole lot of us are likewise given. cause to reflect as to the pos- sible relation between the extraordin- ary war prosperity of the farmers and the high cost of what we eat. High prices are a great stimulus to production, in fact, appear essen- tial to achieve the output of food. stuffs so vitally required, but, on the other hand, there is always a danger of making prices so high that it is next to impossible for the ordinary wage-earner to live. We do not throw out the suggestion with the idea that farmers' prices should be fixed, neveértheiess there should be some way in which to guarantee a fair price to the farmer while at the t e t t A Woman's Burdens are lightened when she turns to the right same time preventing the utter de- spoilation of the resources of the consumer, Nor 40, we think the old fiction that the middleman and uot the far- mer gets the bulk of {he high prices we pay for food should continue to longer exist.
