DIR. FANToN, AN EXPERT, EXAMINES
THE oBELIsk FOUNDATIONS.
ALEXANDRA, Jan. 26.-Dr. Fanton, a
highly instructed Mason, has finished a
careful examination of the foundations
of the obelisk, and confirms Lieutenant
Commander Gorringe's discovery OF the
Masonic emblems, which establishes the
relations OF many ancient Egyptian moh-
uments. DIR. Fanton declares that the
Hiram version of Masonry as having ORR
Rinated with the construc. ION of Solo
mons Temple is disproved by the revel-
ations of the foundations Of the obelisk.
The Masonic emblems Of Life and the
Sun, beyond ldoubt, ae identical with
those upon the monuments OF the Egyp-
tian god Osi is. This proves that Mason
nv originated with the constructioi OIL the
PYRAMIDS, or at least with tar remoter
period than the construction of the foun-
dation of the Obelisk. The number OF
blocks comprising the foundation, as
well as their position and arrangement
indicates that the ancients were familiar
with the higher degrees of Masonry, at
least as high as the eighteenth degree.
Many pee uliar emblems not understood
by Lieu enan ut Commander Cor n se we e
fully explained by DR.. Fanton from a
Masonic point Of view. This discovery
furnishes a clew to other important dis
coveries not only under the fallen obe-
lisks but also in the other parts of Egyyt,
rendering probab a solution of the mys
terry OF the construction Of the pyramids.
Among the discoveries was found per
feet cube and also emblems of all Mason
ic institutions. Lieutenant Commander
Gorringe, who is a member of the Mason
ic fraternity entirely approves DR.. Fan
tons explanation, and give this despatch
his entire approbation,
