BEFORE THE FLOOD.
Discovery of the Ruins of a Prehis-
tOric City.

The New York World says that the
spade of the explorer has at last been
| struck in.O the historic soil of q city
that existed before the flood. From its
ruins have been brought forth relics OF
q heretofore unknown civiliza ion, and
at last the scientist and the archaeoIo-
gist are studipg the remains of a race
of people that lived and died thousands
of years before the history of the world
as we know it today began.
For many years archaeOlogists have
believed the theory that in the dim
dawn of the worlds beginning Egypt
was inha bited by strange race which
antedated the Egyptians by many thou
sands of years. Nothing was discover
ed to prove this idea, but the whole
evidence of his DRY pointed to the seat
of one of the very earlist prehistoric
civilizations being located in the warm
climate of upper Egypt.
The theory has now proved true, and
in the Nile valley have been unearthed
the first rem aims of a race more mys-
FERROUS than any science has ever be-
fore ba filed with.
Not only have the explorers found
quantities Of the jewelry, weapons and
implements used by these people, but
they have also unearthed temples,
tombs and, still more wonderful, skele-
tons of the people themselves.
Several months ago the departn ent
Of antiquities of the Egyptian govern
ment received advices of the finding, in
the Tuekh district, of preh istoric re-
mains, and dispatched an expedition to
investigate them. Excavations we're
carried on with only partial success un-
til two months ago, when thu explore rs
came across the most remar kable SER
les of finds that have probably ever
been made. From under the desert
drifted sand they brought to light the
first rem aims of this strange race of

Ruins of buildings were unearthed rich

ing what they looked like in real life.
Scattered about in prOfusion were evid-
ences of the life they had led, and on
the walls of the building were
carved pictures of their sports and bat
ties
The explorers entered the tombs ard
brought forth skeletons of this long
dead people that had lain there hidden
since the world began. A close exam
ination OF the remains showed that
these people were not of swarthy COM
p exiop, like the Egyptian of the days
of Rameses or of Cleopatra, but were
fair, with light hair. They were of a
race as dissimilar to the Egyptia rs as
the Caucasian is to the Nubian. AS
some of the skeletons fragments of
skin were still discernible, notwi b.
standing its partial discoloration from
age, it had upmista bly, once been
white.
The few hairs that still chung to the
skulls were blond and not of the coarse :,
straight nature so Enthusiastically
Egyptian. The bodies had been plac-
ed in the graves, or tombs, in various
positions. Some were found lying on
their backs, others bent forward in q
sitting position, while others again
were almost standing erect. They

were found swords of wOndrous pat
tern that had probably been buried
| with them. These swords are of the
most beautiful workmanship, showing
that these ancient people were well
versed in the working of metal. A
remark able feature of them is that
with little restoring they could
easily b. made to look like the
weapons of the thirteenth and four
teepth ce 1turies.
The explorers excavated along the
sides of one of the buried temples and
found some of the most wonderful
carvings upon the walls Near what
had prObaby once been doorway,
they found pictured hunting scene, all
the figures being life-size. The images
were carved out of the solid stone and
the workmanship was remarkable. La
the picture men were represented on
horse back, chasing a species of animal
resem bling the modern deer. Lower
down, WAS pictured warrior on horse
back, with q queer square headdress,
and holding an immense club. On the
right were numerous elephants bear
ing men on their backs, and charging
as if in war.
The top and central figure in this
huge carved picture, appeared to re-
present the king or some other i'm
portant parsonage, watching over the
sports and battles of his subjects.
Each figure was accurately carved, al
though not in proportion, the horses,
for instance, being represented larger
than the elephants.

The skeletons were of men who had
evidently been very powerful, the
bones being large and firm. In life,
they must have been considers bly,
larger than mankind of today, for in a
number of instances the remains
measured over six and half feet, not
