WnAT . the Great Pyramid' of
Ec.YrT Cost.- An English architect,
Mr. Tat(, has been "figuring up . the
cost of the great Pyramid near Gizet.
Its original dimensions, at the base, he
says, were 764,000 square feet, and it
had a perpendicular height of 480 feet,
covering' 43 acres 1 rood, 22 perches
of ground -' It consumed 89,028,000
cubic feet of stone; andMr. Tate adds,
that it could not now be built for less
than thirty millions sterling. " The
joints of - the large casing blocks of
granite were so fine as to be scarcely
perceptible., not thicker than paper;
and the' mortar was so adhesive that
the stones in .some cases broke through
their substance rather than 'give way
at their joining. The cost, therefore,
of this structure, reduced to federal
currency was 145,2000,000 a sum
large enough to build and put in run
ning order six good substantial rail
roads between New York on the At
lantic and San Francisco on tha Pacific.
But where did all thi3 money come

We contended, therefore, with oiir
disputing friend, that a mbther'.s .talk

all its naturalness and loving signific

hour in the evening, called a droshkee,
and having given directions.; to. the

he drove her to a rather deserted: part
of the city, when; suddenly. he turned
