time anterior to Mr.. and Mrs Adam.
There souvenirs have been recog-
nized and identified by several lead
ing ballet dancers here. Not only
are these things contributed from
ancient Egypt and the reign of the
Pharaohs, but also there are mum
mics, implements, jewelry, writings,
trlnkets and chattels from equally
venerable tribes of Mexico, Central
America, Brazil, Paraguay and Pat
agonio. Modern man in his diligent
search for his and his neighbors ped
igree, has overthrown the edict con-
| corning the repose of the dead, and
has despoiled the tombs of forgotten
races wherever they have neglected
to pull the holes in after them. As
a result we of today may walk
through miles and miles of dried re
mains, peer into the sightless faces
that shrank from worldly gaze many
thousands of years ago and comment
upon the customs, styles, habits and
arts that bloomed, fourished and
persisted so long ago that the mind is
staggered by the ebb and flow of
centuries. Ranged III cases are hid
cons mummies from every country
where the dead ever were so treated

ers to the wonderful Nile. These
are surrounded by the potteries, wa

been excelled-art that died and was

rom every state and show various
