Statue of Clwpatrn Is
Egypt's Chief Attraction
Though the Nile is lined with tem-
ples and statues erected to the
Pernor of Egypt's ancient pharaohs,
many travelers search especially for
the one ruler whc is most vivid in
their minds and most expressive of
Egypt's charm—Cieopatra. Actual-
ly, according to ar.. authority, only
one original likeness, sculptured in
Cleopatra's own. time, remains in
existence—the statue on the temple
at Dendera. This shows Cleopatra in
the conventionally stiff, upright at-
titude, with the emblem of the god-
dess of love on her head and the
little caesarion, her son by Julius
Caesar, at her side.
The temple at Dendera is one of
the best preserved in Egypt. But
the fact that it retains its statue of
Cleopatra is due to a curious cir-
cumstance. When Julius Caesar had
been assassinated in Rome, h i a
successor, Augustus, vindictively
commanded that all statues of Cleo-
patra be destroyed.
A wealthy admirer of the great
Queen, however, appealed to the
cupidity of Augustus and bought
immunity for her statues at the
fabulous price of 2,000 talents—
something jnore than $500,000. 'JFhe
image of Dendera, therefore, the
only one remaining, may be tin-
graceful from the modern point of
view, but must rank as one of the
costliest statues known.

Blue Whale Is Largest;
Heavier Than Elephants
Of the many species of whale,
the blue whale, or, as he is some-
times called, the sulphur bottom, if
the largest. The whale is not a fish,
as is commonly supposed, but a ce-
tacean, says a writer in Pathfinder
Magazine. A cetacean is a mammal
that lives an aquatic life; a mam-
mal is an air-breathing, warm-
blooded animal that bears- and suck-
les its young; a fish is a cold-blooded
vertebrate, living in water and
breathing through gills instead of
lungs, and having fins instead of
fingers or toes.
Equipped with enormous heads,
one-fifth to one-third the size of the
body, but apparently without any
neck, whales have small eyes that
are set well back. These massive
creatures can remain under water
for half an hour if necessary, but
usually they come to the surface
every eight or ten minutes to
breathe, then remain on the surface
about two minutes, blowing eight or
ten times. They are hunted chiefly
for their oil and whalebone, a single
specimen sometimes yielding an
amount worth nearly 1,000 pounds.
One of the largest blue whales of
which there are authentic records
measured 88% ft., but the average
is 76 ft. The weight of a large blue
whale is more than that of five
elephants.
Duping the Ducks
Each season an eider duck will
produce about half a pound of eider
down, but it must be tricked into
doing so, says Samuel J. Beckett in
"A Wayfarer in Norway." Artifi-
cial nests are placed in the rocks
in the haunts of the bird, and there
the ducks lay their eggs. As the
eggs are systematically taken away,
the bird continues to sit for long
periods, all the time plucking the
valuable down from her breast for
the nest. Lokta is one of the centers
for the eider down industry.
Nature's Barometer
The Burmese, who, like the Chi-
nese, are fond of betting, have a
novel method of gambling on the
rains. No one knows accurately when
the monsoons are going to break,
says a writer in Pearson's London
Weekly, but there is a flower called
the Padouk, blooming three times
between April and May, which the
natives carefully watch. They say
in Burma that when the Padouk
flowers for the third time it means
an immediate downfall of rain.
Animals That Change Color
The octopus is noted for being
able to change its color, but there
are many other animals which can
also change theirs for protective pur-
poses. Most famous is the chame-
leon. This African reptile has ac-
quired such a reputation that a leg-
end has grown up that one placed
on a piece of Scotch plaid burst itself
trying to match the background.
Another is the flounder. This fish
is so expert that it can mottle its
back to resemble coarse gravel on
the floor of the ocean.
Pastures to Paints
Giotto, who painted many of the
frescoes in the church of San Fran-
cesco in Assisi, Italy, was a shep-
herd boy when the painter Cimabue
discovered him drawing sheep on
flat pasture stones, says Robert M.
McBride in "Hilltop Cities of Italy."
Cimabue taught the lad to paint,
and today Giotto's frescoes are
among the most sought out by visit-
ors to this medieval church.
Raw Sienna in Paint
Raw sienna, an earth pigment, is
one of the most valuable colors used
in the paint making industry. It
received its name from the city of
Sienna, Italy. The sienna found near
this city was of a very fine, rich
transparent color and possessed
great beauty and color perma-
nence. When mixed with a white
base, ciear aOd delicate tints re-
sult.
