ANCIENT EGYPTIAN JEWELS.
Treasure Recently Unearthsd in the
Tomb Of King Fer shows some
Marvellous ForIznannhip.

some Of the most remarkable Egyp-
dan jeWelry ever discovered has re-
Gently been unearthed. The date as
signed is as remote as 5000 B. c., but
the workmanship in gold and jewels
Is marvellous, In exploring the tomb
Of King Ter It was found that the
tomb had been entered for robbery
at some remote period and that the
plunderers had broken on the arm Of
the mummy quietly and hidden It in
q creTice in the Wall-perhaps on be-
ing discovered or alarmed-and had
never returned to remove IT, says the
New York Herald.
On taking on the Wrappings Prof.
Petrie found four MAGNIFICENT brace
lets Of gold, with amethyst, turquoise
and lapis lazuli in varied and elegant
adjustments. The gold work was
peculiarly fine and delicate, though
the metal was soft and pure, appar-
emily with no hardening alloy. The
stones were beautiful and very strik-
ingly and peculiarly arranged.
A number Of amethyst beads Of the
richest and deepest purple, about q
quarter Of an inch in diameter, are IN
the possession Of Mr.. Edward Aver.
OF Chicago. he obtained them from
Dashone, Egypt, they being from the
treasures in the tomb Of Princess
Merit daughter Of Amenhotsp IL, Of
the twelfth dynasty.
