The change, they thought, would reach as far down the coast even as Maine, where, because of the diminu~ tion of fog and increase of sunshine. every year.

From its failure to oo-operate in the ~ American scheme of studying` ocean cur- rents by means of oating bottles it might be inferred that the British Gov- ernment does not do its share of work in ocean observation, and this may be true when `the enormous preponderance i of British `shipping over the shipping of any other nation is taken into consideration.

Gaston Maspero, the well known French Egyptologist, has recently written an interesting article on the speaking. statues`of ancient Egypt. ' He says that the statues of some of the gods were made of jointed parts and were supposed to com- municate with the iaithful by speech, signs and other movements. They were made of wood, painted or gilded. Their hands could be raised and lowered and their heads moved, but it is not known whether their feet could be putin-motion. When one of the faithful `asked for advice, their god answered either by signs or -words. Occasionally long speeches were made, and at other times the answer was . simply an inclination of the head. uuvnuo nwuln `I-us}! n-.I.u.J-4-. c-uknnn n ......l.-.1 U51-IIHIJ ll-IVJII-I:IIlUL\lIl UL VII`?
