Some of the most Interesting experiences OF
my Egyptian tour were the trips / took under
the desert near Cairo. Cairo, YOU know, is a
comparatively modern city. The great towns
OF four and FIVE thousand years ago were little
farther up the Nile, and Memphis was the
Capital at which these Pharaohs ruled, and it
was out i'm the country several miles away
from the city that little Moses was planted in
the bullrushes right in the center of the present
Egyptian Capital. il was the fashion about
the time OF Moses and before him. for Van

tomb during his lifetime. in which his body
was 20 be placed after death. Some of these
tombs are subteuanean houses, aud you walk
through corridor after corridor of vaults, the
stone walls of which are covered with hero
gyphics, aud upon many of them are painted
signs showing the life of the Egypt of the past.
One OF the most noted of these milliopares Of
the time Of Ramescs was the Hon. Mr.. ii. lie
lived Just about 1, 500 years ago, aud his mummy
has been lost. A good idea of him, however,
can be gotten from his tomb, which is one Of
the most wonderful in Egypt. It's corridors
must cover several acres, aud you go through
them with a candle, going down number of
steps at the entrance. The walls give a Won
derful idea of the life of ancient Egypt. II is

Some Of these chambers are supposed 10 have

had holes at the top through which the corn

dry that there is no danger from dampness.
Anything will last ten times AS long under the

these mighty ruins along the banks Of tie Nile

pure that the people have no hesitation ia

The air dries up the carcass and there is nG
