QUEEN HATsHEPsU's TOMB.

ful Temple Of Der-el-Bahari
II Discovered.

The London Times has q description
OF the discovery. thanks to the lavish
expenditure and American tenacity Of
Theodore NJ. Davis" OF an important
tomb in the neighborhood Of that OF
King Thotmes ~. Of the eighteenth
century dynasty. which was found in
1903 at Thebes.
Mr.. Davis has discovered the tomb
OF the famous Queen Hatshepsu. the
builder OF the beautiful temple of Der.
el-Bahari. 1t consists for the most
part OF a corridor sloping downward
into the heart Of limestone noun
tain. After reaching three chambers.
in spite Of enormous difficulties. the
burial chamber was found. Here are
two sarcophagi OF hard sandstones. pol
ished like copper. covered with beauti-
fully formed hieroglyphics, which say
that one contained the mummy OF Hat
shepsu and her father. Thotmes |.
The lids of the sarcophagi lie on the
floor. The sarcophagi are empty. Hat
shepsu's mummy may be found in one
OF the UNEMPLOYED side passages of the
tombs, where. perhaps. II was depos-
tied for the sake OF safety in time OF
danger. The chamber is from 40 to sc
feet long. There are several side
chambers which are still filled with
fallen rock and rubbish. but II can be
seen that they. as we'll as the chamber
itself. are panelled with painted blocks
of fine limestone.

AFFINITY OF METEORITES.
Austrian Professor Declares They Are
More Numerous in Noun
famous Areas.

A total of ga :Heteorites was known ND
to 1903 of which there were 1872 irons and
only "a stones in the western hem
isphere and 299 stones and only rs irons
in the eastern hemisphere. The records
show only the fall of $50 of these eteor-
ties. dating back to the fifteenth CEN
fury. Prof. Berwerth. of Vienna, de-
spite this small number OF known
specimens, calculates that 900 meteorites
must fall to the earth each year. not
counting shooting stars that disappear
in the atmosphere, and that SO of these
at least should come under observation.
Prof. Berwerth finds that meteorites
have been chiefly recorded in civilized
countries. but that In many instances
they are more numerous in thinly set
tied districts. and that they have an espe-
cial affinity for mountainous areas.

When there is feeling that the heart

are diseased, at once commence to doc

of the trouble in 30 cases out of every
100. Commence to regulate the diges-

will leave of themselves. Diseases which
have their beginning in the stomach
must be cured through the stomach. The
medicine for stomach disorders and half
the ills of life, is DR.. Gums Improved
