NEW DISCOVERY IN EGYPT.
Remains OF Unknown Race Who
Flourished 5000 Years Ago.

The report of the discovery by Prof.
Flinders Petric of the remains Of dis
tinctly new race of people in Egypt is
by no means startling news TO those
who have followed at all the series of
Psychological surprises. says the Phila-
delphia Record. The soil Of Egypt
probably holds as great if not greater
wonders than those already unearthed.
While Egypt was not the cradle of man
kind, nor even of civilization, its an
tiquities are of more interest 10 human
ity than those Of almost any other
country. The Nile witnessed the great
secrets Of the dawn of the historic
world. OF the Egyptians themselves
the origin is still wrapped in inscruta-
blc mystery. That theywere absolute
~ distinct from the Ethiopian race has
long been known that the primitive
Egyptians were Jewish or even Semitic
has not yet been established. As for
Prof Petrie's discovery, it relates to a
comparatively later chapter in the ro-
mantle history of the land of the lotus
and papvrus, of Osiris and the Pyramids
According To the belief of Prof
Petrie, the strange new people whose
bones and relies he has unearthed in
the district between Ballas and
Negadeh, thirty miles north Of Thebes,
were most likely the funercal wit
nesses Of the conquerors who over
threw Egyptian civilization 1.-THE time
of the Old Kingdom and produced the
dark ages of the seventh and eighth
dynasties. They would thus have
fourished near Thebes about 5000 H.
G. Their pottery exhibits some
peculiar resemblanccs To that of the
Amorite period in Palestine. Again,
other evidences point westward to
Malta. The prominent aquiline nose
and long pointed beard certainly
lend more plausibility TO the Libyan
and Amorite hypothesis. The most
striking phase of all, however, is
the condition of the remains, which
irresistibly suggests ceremonial can
nibalism. The absence Of all writing,
beyond mere personal marks, and the
rudcncss Of the attempt at drawing
and sculpture emphasize this feature,
while the knowledge evinccd Of metals
does not alter seriously the conviction
that the civilization Of this dead and
long lost race was upon low level. in
strong contrast TO Egyptian civiliza-
tion. As Europe suffered am Asiatic

tran-pire that Egypt was flooded at
