Lillian Russell on Divorce

Lillian Russell has been an operate ia
vorite before the American public since
the day when, at sixteen, she graduated
from a music hall to the comic opera
stage and began creating roles In Au-
dram and Offenbach. Miss Russell has
been married to Harry I3raham, to Ted
dy Solomon to Signor Peilgini The fol-
lowing article on divorce was written by
her for the New York Sunday World:
Divorce eases more useless suffering,
breaks more irksome bondage than any
other Institution in existence. Take away
divorce and there Will be more unholy
men and women than can be chronicled.
/ am not putting myself up as an au-
thority, for l know that anything 1 may
say will possibly bring forth iibes and
sneers from many who frown upon di-
vorce. 1 am not making this a personal
question. / am speaking IN the abstract

vices which they cannot tolerate, or brut-

ought to be forced to drag out a loveless
existence by the side of these men?

in common. do you think that life to-
gether holds for them any happiness?
tell you no, and that marriage of that
kind is unholy and should be dissolved
But, you ask do I not think These
things ought to be considered before the
leap Is made into matrimony?

niteness. Before Amenhotep ", king
of the eighteenth dynasty, about 1900 B.
c., Ammon was the god of Thebes: Amen
hotep destroyed the worship of Ammon,
but upon his death the priests of Am
mon at Thebes overthrow the religious
movement of Amenhotep. The following
kings (of the nineteenth dynasty were
devotedly attached to the worship Of Am
hon. 1t was doubtless at this time, the
age of Rameses H., that the statue was
made. Had 1t been made before Amen
hotep would have destroyed 1t, and 1t is
hardly possible to assume that the deca-
dent art Of any later age than that OF
Rameses II. could have produced 1t.
The second statue, though less beauti-
full, is Of greater archaeological interest,
bearing this inscription in hieroglyphics:

building of this temple. Usertesen l.,
called Ra-Kheper-Ka in the inscription,
was the second king of the twelfth dy-
nasty This dynasty was the nucleus of
the middle empire period, beginning in
the twenty-second century before Christ.
Usertesen lived not later than 200 B. G.
No monument or inscription ever before
found in the temple was carved before
1900 B. c.. Mr.. Legrain unearthed 1t in
the very part Of the building which had
been supposed to belong to the twelfth
dynasty. Those who have visited Kar
max will remember the two beautiful
granite columns in front of the granite
sanctuary of Thothmes III. At the base
of these the statue was found.
The cause of the fall Of the present
columns is undoubtedly the same which
has made the work Of restoration even
perilous, the fact that the bases of the
columns have crumbled. They are COM
posed of sandstone and the surrounding
dust of the ruins, containing as 1t does
much inter, so impregnates the waters
of the inundation that they become a
solution of inter, which enters into the
stone and disintegrates 1t. 1t is then
turned into simple sand, which may be
brushed aside with the-hand.
The work OF restoration in progress Is
under the supervision of Mr. Legrain.
He has already spent .our years here,
and to complete MS WORK with the pres
ent force will require ten years more.
The labor goes on during the six cooler
months of the year and 700 men are en-
ployed. These Karnak excavations are
the greatest task ever attempted in
Egypt. The clearing began in the hy
postyie hall of the Temple Of Ammon.
During the excavation the avenue OF
rams head sphinxes was cleared and
many walls bearing interesting sculp
lures were here brought to light. One
of the most important discoveries was
undoubtedly that of the "Nilometer Of
Karnak," which, In contradiction to GER
tain expressed opinions, gives the level
of various foods Of the Mule. BY the
inscriptions and dates on this nilofneter
notifications are made in the chronology
of some dynasties the level of the floods
and the dates Of the reign under which
thew occurred are documents Of the high
est historical importance. A good deal
of the Egyptian chronology is based on
a flood. which took place in the third year
Of the reign of King Osorkon II. This
flood is mentioned again on the "Kar-
max Nilometer' discovered by Mr.. Lee
grain The Importance Of this discovery
will fully appear when the dates in
scribed on the nilometer have been COM
pared with other accepted chronological
facts.

central court Here are still standing
two obelisks-two solid shafts Of granite.
These two are representatives OF four
that Is, two pairs-which originally stood
here. One from each pair has fallen. The
first pair was the work Of Thothmes /;
the second was erected by his great
daughter, Hatshepshut (Hatasoo). The
standing obelisk of this latter pair Is the
largest in Egypt, being ninety-seven and
half feet HIGH and Is notable as being
the work Of woman. Back of the
obelisks Is the sanctuary chamber and
behind this are a few scattered blocks,
which, as the fruit of recent discoveries,
are now known to be the remains Of a
middle empire temple.
The whole temple Is more or less In
ruins Sad heaps of ruins represent what
were once beautiful columns and exqu1-
site sanctuary. The huge pylons are
crumbling at the top and wasting away
at the base. The remains of dwelling
houses Of sun-dried brick built around
the temple by natives in the Christian
period, long since the temple was desert
ed, have disintegrated into dust and half
covered the outer walls. Even in the
great colonnaded hall there yet remain
immense heaps Of debris.
The date of the building of the temple
is not known definitely. 1t had been

memorates in its grandeur and by Its
sculptures the magnificence and power of
those two pharaohs. The sculptures Of
the interior of the walls represent these
monarchs making offerings to the gods,
and were undoubtedly carved during
period shortly after their reigns. But
only last April there were found by Mr..
Legrain two statues in the ruins which
go far to confirm the belief first advanced
by Lepsius, the great German explorer,
and agreed in by the Frenchman Mari
cite and others, that this vast temple was
a gradual growth, probably reaching
back In its beginnings to the middle en-
pire kings of the twelfth dynasty, over
1900 years before Christ
OF these statues one was in alaoaster
and representing the great Theban god
Ammon; the other, which Is of the high
est historical Importance, was set up by
King Usertesens in honor Of his father In
the days Of Abraham. The alabaster god
is eighteen feet high and was made from
one solid block of stone, the largest ala
baster statue In the world. He was In

were in one large piece, the trunk another

as If it had been carved by some Greek
Praxiteles, although the hand Of the
Egyptian sculptoriwho hewed it was dust
perhaps 1000 years before the birth of the
Greek. The statue has doubtless been in
the ruins q long time.5r Possibly one OF
the columns Of the hypostyle hall fell upon
1t long ago. This conjecture is supported
by the fact that tbs statue was found
close by the entrance near a fallen col
umn. The age of this work of art can
be determined with some degree of def

Very naturally. I think I retired just
at the right age. At or about sixty. In

longer, but business requires all the fac
ulties to be alert and at their highest
