The first reproduction is that of the Sacrificial Temple of Koris, Yakava, 248 8.C., showing the' altar of Eternal Fire burned continually, and whose fire did not require to be replenished, as the fire issued from the bowels of the earth within the Tenrole. In the foreground are the attendant priestesses, with the sacrificial offerings of goats and doves, which were liberated for the sins of the priests and people, the scroll of the sins of the people being put into an ocus nut the nut then wedged between the horns of the goat, taken to the east door of the Temple, struck with a fire-brand, and driven into the desert, carrying with it the sins of the people. The numerous symbols represent Ebres and Bull the eternal fire with its entwined serpents representing spiritual and material life. On the tablets and altar is the all-seeing eye with innumerable hieroglyphics. The second photo represents the Royal Arch of Eno, of the secret and sacred Order of Sada, 248 8.C., in the Isle of Atmos, 50 leagues to the east of Asso, now known as Elephantine, built of Onyax, pertia. tena, kesnut, and alabaster, mla d with precious stones of every tint and hue. The two abutments contained two electrical batteries of 20,000 horse power, each wrought by the chemical action of the sea water, which the foot of the uninitiated treading upon, the pathway or landing immediately completed the circuit, and instantaneous death, by this vast electrode, was the punishment for desecration.
