THE Book of the Dead" Instead of
being book for the instruction for the
dead, il swe are told. an authoritative
text book for those who intended to be
initiated into the higher mysteries Of the
Egyptians.
That the pyramid Of Gizeh was used
for the purpose of initiating candidates
in this manner, is very evident to those
have studied THE Book of the Dead
under the new light that has been thrown
on it.

Egypt's Pyramids a Mystery.

For centuries Psychologists and arch
eoligists have been trying to find out the
exact significance of the great pyramids
of Egypt. Now at last the problem
seems to be solved This statement is es-
pecially true in regard TO the Pyramid of
Gizeh, otherwise known as the Cheops or
Khufu pyramid Hitherto it has been
supposed that this immense structure was
designed as the mausoleum of its royal
founder, but ample evidence is now
forthcoming that it was primarily de-
signed to serve as a temple in which can
didates for initiation into the higher
mysteries of the Egyptians might per-
form the requisite rites.
Many years ago the question was asked
If the pyramid of Gizeh is merely royal
mausoleum, why does it contain so many
stately halls and corridors, and why was
a secret chamber constructed under
ground, since the upper chambers would
have suficed as vault for the remains
Of the great king' On the other hand, if
it was ever was anything else than a bur
ial place, why is an immense granite sar-
cophagus the most conspicuous object in
it9 There is an Arabian tradition that
the pyramids were built before the flood
/ in order that the intellectual treasures of
Egypt might be preserved in them, and
during recent years more than one sci
enlist has expressed, though somewhat
guardedly, the opinion that the secret
chambers might have been used for the
purposes Of initiation.
key to this entire mystery has now
been found in that wonderful book, 1.-THE
Book Of the Dead, which Richard Lep-
sius, a distingu ished German Egyptola-
gist, discovered some years ago in the
tomb of a priest named Auf Aukh, the
original papyrus of which is now pre-
served in Turin. Scholars who examined
it soon after it was discovered said that it
was an exposition, more or less fantastic.
Of the life led by Egyptians after death.
The god Thoth was believed to be the
author, and according to Ebers the book
tells us much about the god idea of the
Egyptians, as well asabout their dogmas,
their interpretations, their mythology
their morals and their faith in immortal
ity. A copy Of the work, it is said, was
placed in the graves of those who died
and portions Of it were inscribed on
many tombs, with the object Of pointing
out to the dead the right road through the
other world and of keeping ever in their
memory the right word which alone
could serve them as weapon.
A recent and more thorough examina-
ton Of this book. however, shows that it
is far more than "a strange collection of
religious and magical texts, or than a
mere exposition of the views of Egypt
ians in regard to future life, and that
Lepsiiis erred somewhat in emitting it

MINISTER WI HAS NEWS.
Says Peace and Order Prevail in
Central China,

Washington, June "a. - ReasSuring
advices regarding the condition of af-
fairs in Central China have come to
Minister WI. of the Chinese legation
here. The viceroy of the provinces of
Manan and Hupe has sent cablegram
saying that peace and order prevails
in that section of the country. At the
same time some apprehension is felt
that any attempt by foreign warships
to ascend tile Yang-tse-kiang river for
the protection of foreigners in those
provinces may excite tho natives and
arouse their suspicious. Such an inti-
nation was conveyed in the viceroy's
dispatch. Minister WI conveyed the
contents of the cablegram to Secrc-
tary HAY when he called at the state
department yesterday. The minister
is still without any advice touching af-
fairs in Northern China, and expresses
a disinclination to discuss what may
be the condition of affairs in Picking.

Near Ayuthia, formerly the capital

which elephants are captured alive
The labyrinth is formed by double
row of immense ree-trunks set firmly
In the ground, the space between them
gradually narrowing. Where it be-
gins. at the edge Of the forest, the
opening Of the labyrinth is more than
. mile broad, but as it approaches
Ayuthia it becomes so narrow that the
elephants cannot turn around. Tame
elephants are employed to lure wild
ones into the trap. Having reached
the inner end of the labyrinth, the
tame elephants are allowed to pass
through a gate, while men lying in
wait slip shackles over the feet of the
captives. The sport is a dangerous
one, as the enraged elephants some
times crush their would-be captors I'M
