-- PAGE CREAT MANMASTER : OF MANY SCIENCES Once in every two or three centuries there blazes out in the world a man whose genius may be said truly to be universal.. Leonardo di Vincl was one ; the two Bacons, KFrancis and Roger, were others. In ancient Yays there was Aristotle and possibly Democri-- tus, and undoubtedly that astonishing early scientist, Thales the Milesian. For some reason not easy to fathom, the land. of Egypt, for all her long and brilliant history, had ftew of these personages; perhapse none of them except the first ot--all, .who was Im-- hotep. -- Something must be allowed in history for the accretion of credit with time.

But Imhotep had other. distinetions, 80-- marked was his attainments, as archl« tect, as physcian, as politician and as lawyer, that be went down tolater generations less as a man than as an institution. Nearly three millennia after his death the physicians of the Ptolemies prescribed his remedies and muttered their incantatiops in his name. Street urchins of Alexandria, running at the heels of Chesar or Cle-- opatra, shouted oaths "by Imhotep," never knowing that the god they swore by had once been a man and a phy-- sician.

The timepiece has 800 parts, and the inventor, a European, apeut 1,100 hours of spare time in per-- fecting it. The watch tells time in seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months and. yeart.

Indeed, such alterations o¢: Changes of Color in Hot Springs Terraces Now the terraces consist of a series of basins, each set being a few feet lower than its predecessor, and the hot. water frony the springs at the top of the terraces flows from basin to basin, depositing Jts chalky sediment at. the rims, thus slowly building thero up. : Wherever the flow of water con-- tinues" constant 'for a" considerable time the fiuted edges and sides of the basins become beautifully colored. «. The vartegated hues are mainly due to the vegetable matter, and so, if the fNow of water ceases, these bright col-- ors rapidly fade,--leaving the terraces milk white. In a little while the edges and. walls of the dry basins begin to_ crumble, and the most beautiful forms disappear in white dust and chailklike, tragments. «> Une of the favorite terraces at the hot springs, called the Minerva ter-- race, exhiblts these© changes in .A narked déegree, because of its con-- splcuous position.

The other bird, meanwhile, pushed and put its head beneath the other, trying also to lift it The little drama continued for almost an hbour, Then the wings quit fiapping and the only (movement of its feathers was gaused by the wind.
