RAMESES THE GREAT"
UNMASKED BY AIDE


"huge," and so on, cannot bring the
reader to any actual conception of the
barbaric massiveness of these ancient
structures. "
The rulers who built the main temple
of Karnak, section at time, thought
they were not doing themselves circuit
unless they piled up columns about the
size of the redwood trees in California
and guarded, each entrance with statues
as big as the Goddess Of Liberty in New
York harbor. and when they made
wall to enclose a courtyard, they put
up something to resemble a mountain
range. The ordinary 150-pound mortal
edging his way thru the corridors and
under the vast shadows OF these over
whelming uplifts Of masonry feels about
as large and as important as flea.
!. X T.
Everywhere about these temples
there are uniformed guards whose duty
it is to protect the remains against the
vandal and the relic hunter. The
guard follows few feet behind you as
| you roam thru the many acres of top
ping ruin. He is afraid that you will
steal something. Inasmuch as the
smallest fragment of one Of these huge
statues, or obelisks, would weigh prob
ably 900 pounds, we felt that he was

followed us along and then, when we
! were leaving, he calmly came forward
and indicated that he was ready to take
money insult.
This move on his part was most
characteristic Of the Egyptian attitude
toward visitors in general. Every
native expects to get. something out t, OF I
he i needs the money. Suppose that a
suspicious character should arrive in an
American city and the chief Of police
sent out detective to shadow him
and see that he did not blow open any
safes or crawl into any second stories,
The detective, having followed the sus'
pect all day, approaches him at night
fall and says. "Look here; you have
put me to lot ct trouble; nave AVE
for fear that you were going to com
nit a burglary, and I think it is only
right that you should pay me some
thing :,
Every time we visited an antiquity
these guards tapped at our heels, watch
ing us like hawks, and invariably they
tried to hold us up for piece OF silver
understanding among the natives that
the tourist is to be feeced.. For in
stance, altho the copper coins are II
common use among the natives, and In
4 the cheaper shops the prices are usually
reckoned in millimes, it is almost i'm
possible for traveller to get any Of
these copper coins because the native:
i want him to bestow his gratuities IL
piasters. A MILNE is worth one-hal1
cent, and then the MILNE is furthe
subdivided into fractional coins, SOM
of which are about the size Of a mustard
seed and worth about as much as ;
share Of mining stock. - 80.

Y UNTIL we arrived at Luxor we d1d
not know the total m lea ge,; OIL
a. the word "old.'' The ruins
which are the stock in trade of this
ancient city Thebes, date SO far PACK
into the dimness of Nowhere that all
the other antiquities Of earth seem as
fresh and recent as daily newspaper
"Old" is merely "a relative term,
after all. I remember In my native
town we small boys used to gaze IN
reverent awe at courthouse that was
actually built before the civil war. We
we would look up at that weather
beaten frame structure, two stories high,
with a square birdcage on top of it,
and to us it had all the historic inter
est of a medieval castle.
When man from the west goes east
for the first time and sees Independence
hall in Philadelphia he takes off his hat
and tries to grasp the overwhelming
fact that the building stood there even
In the far distant colonial period.
When he travels to London and walks
thru St. Paul 8 or stands in the Henry
VIII. chapel at Westminster he begins
70 get new line on the meaning OF
Hold.' Later he sees the Forum at
Rome and declares to himself: AZ
ancient.'
But when he arrives at Luxor and
and sits in the deep, cool shade Of
temples that had been standing good
many centuries before any one thought
of laying out the Forum in Rome, he
will begin to understand how every
thing else in the world is comparatively
hot from the griddle: One day we
were in the shop Of Mouhammed Mou-
ian reached under the counter and
logged out a mummy. The body was
well preserved, and the embalming
cloth In which it was wrapped and
cross wrapped still retained definite
texture.
WThis mummy dates back beyond any
Of the dynasties of which We have any
no inscriptions on the mummycase, be-
cause when this gentleman lived it was
not the custom to inscribe the cocoon
You will observe, however, that he was
buried in q sitting posture, and we
know that this manner Of burial was
discontinued about 5000 B. CO.
caim features res of the Unidentified has
been and realized that he had been sit
ting in that easy attitude for 5000
wears waiting for US to come along and
BE presented to him, we began to get a
faint inkling Of what the word 'old .
really means.

Goodness knows am not going tt
attempt any detailed description Of the
stupendous ruins which max Luxor
the most interesting spot In Egypt
Anyone who is going to describe Luxor
needs a new box Of adjectives every

over and over again that the. column
