SHOWS ITS ADVANCE
Great City Has Decided to Give Up

ing Injured to Hospitals--City
Far Behind the Times
Special Cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON, June LIN the matter of
ambulance service the biggest city in
the world is woefully behind the times
worse equipped, in fact, than a third
rate American town. But London is
catching up, at least London thinks
so. And the structure is regarded by
the modern Babylonians as proof of it.
Without the aid of the letter press il
is safe to say that no American would
ever guess what it is. Probably most
of them would take it for dog ken
mel. 1t Is the latest thing London has
devised in the ambulance line. 1t is
the new police ambulance shelter which
has been installed outside St. Martins
church, near the general postoffice, in
the heart of London.
Within is contained stretcher on
wheels. If an accident occurs in the
vicinity in which some one is badly
hurt he can be placed on the stretcher
and trundled off to the nearest hos
pital 1t is better than a wheelbarrow.
In some respects it is even preferable
to cab, because a patient cav, be
stretched out at full length in that
vehicle.
But the enterprise and progressive
spirit to which it owes it's creation is
most conspicuously shown in the small
box with a glass front which is at
tached to it. That contains the key
which unlocks the door. By breaking
the glass, at the risk OF cutting ones
fist, the key can be got at by any good
Samaritan willing to lend hand in
transporting to a hospital some suf-
ferer who is in need of prompt sur
gical attention. 1t saves the time that
might be lost in hunting up a police
man to open the shelter or finding the
house where the key was kept. The
older police ambulance shelters don't
have this device. It's adoption is, there
fore, proof that John Bull is waking
up. At the present rate of progress
somewhere about the year 1000 London
may possibly have an ambulance serv-
ice as efficient as that found in New
York. Chicago, Philadelphia or any of
the big American cities.

ALABASTER MOLD OF QUEEN

Discovered by Mr.. Davis-He Tells
About His Work of Excavation,
Which He Expects to Con-

snacial cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON, June lone Of the oldest
relics in the world will arrive in New
York in few days, having beer
shipped from London early this week
This is the alabaster mold of the heao
of Queen Teie, one of the most famous
and most interesting of the Egyptian
queens, whose tomb and mummy were
recently discovered by Theodore NJ
Davis, who is now regarded as one OF
Americas greatest archaeologists.
This mold was found in Queen Teies
tomb, where it was placed 1900 B. c.
1t will be seen hereafter in the draw
ing room at the Reef, Mr.. Davis home'
at Newport.
Close study of the alabaster repro
duction of the head of the "heretlc
oueen,'' about whom is wrapped a
wealth of romance and speculatlon'
raises the question whether the lazy
was a foreigner, instead of woman
of Egyptian blood. The alabaster por-
trait shows a face of remarkable
beauty, at once masterful and engag-
ing. but, apart from the lips, not pos
sessing the characteristics of the Egyp-
face The delicate. Sub-aquillne
curve of the nose has been pointed out
as being European rather than African:
Anthropologists have measured ana
examined the skull, and while they are
inclined to the theory that the queen
was not Egyptian, they are somewhat
perplexed regarding her racial rela-
tionship.
The mold is a very pretty thing to
look at 1t is all alabaster except the
which TeDre-
sented by inlays of lapis lazuli and OBJ
sidian. Mr.. Davis highly values the
mold He said to me today:
II shall always keep that portrait
as memento of very beautiful ana
attractive lady whom L am sorry
did not have the opportunity of meet
ing. 1t will also always have value
for me greatly in excess of its intrinsic
worth because of the circumstances in
which it came into my possession.
II calculate that it will require two
more years to complete my excava-
tions of the tombs of the kings in
Thebes. 1 have already worked three
years and, as is known, 1 have been
richly rewarded. On account of the heat
and other drawbacks L cannot work
in the summer months, but during the
other seasons 1 shall employ an average
of 150 men. 1 have no idea, of course,
what will be found before l finish. II,
however, the reward in the next two
years is as great as in the last, 1 shall
have no complaint"
Mr.. Davis in the course of further
conversation called attention to feat
ure of the clothing of Queen Teie' g
mummy not before mentioned. He said
the mummy was wrapped in robe OF
pure gold of about the thickness OF
ordinary brown paper such as is used
for heavy parcels. The effect of water
and air on this flimsy metallic shroud
caused it to crumble once the mummy
was removed from the tomb. Mr..
Davis, however, was fortunate enough
to find a small portion fairly well pre-
served.
Mr.. Davis will sail for America in a
few days with his family and will spend
the summer at Newport.

QUEEN OF SPAIN

1t Is French, Has but One Act and Is

Villa
Special Cable to The Herald

Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON, June 1.-Great interest
and some surprise is felt, says M. A. p,
by those who had the honor of Princess
Ena of Battenberg's personal ac-
quaintance, at the news that the young
queen has written a one-act play in
French, which is to be acted this sum-
mer by a group of noble amateurs at
the royal villa at San Sebastian.
The drama has always had a curious
fascination for royal authors Marie
Antoinette inspired several of the
charming rustic plays in which she her
self took part at Trianon, and at the
present time the Russian court boasts
of one accomplished imperial play
wright in the person of the Grand
Duke Constantine.
Queen Victoria Eugenia, when quite
child, was a clever and competent
little actress, and some years ago her
majesty, together with her brothers,
Prince Alexander and Prince Maurice
of Rattenberg, performed before an
audience composed of the parishioners
of Whippingham, musical comedletta
entitled "Our Toys"
The queen OF Spain inherits her liter
ary gift from her own mother. Princess
Beatrice has always been fond of writ
ing, and very soon after her marriage

named Comfort in Sorrow" which
contains many pathetic and ingenious
speculations concerning the companion
ship in heaven of those we loved on
earth. The princess is now engaged
on a work dealing with the historical
and picturesque associations of the Isle
of Wight.
Both Princess Beatrice and the queen
of Spain are great readers, and as
French literature is much admired IN
the land of the Hidalgos, it is natural
that the young queen should have pre-
ferred to write her play in French.
The late Queen Victoria both spoke
and wrote the language perfectly, and
by her wish each of her granddaughter
devoted rather special attention tc
what has been justly called the Ian
guage of civility and of diplomacy.

LONDON. June 1.-They are getting
more than a taste these days in London
of the methods of the American press
agent A Token Worm, the man re-
sponsible for the publicity of the Soth
ern-Marlowe combination, was the one
to develop the benevolent interest of
Miss Marlowe in the London sandwich
man. But Worm read up on English
law before he guided the actress toward
a charity that might demand all the
profits of her season, or, rather, the
equivalent of the losses. Automobiles
for the sandwich men, that was Worm s
scheme, and the automobiles we're to
be provided by the bounty of the act
Iess. The story was published in al
most every London newspaper and then
it was with the fine manifestation of
regret that Worm made known his dis
covery that the laws expressly re-
stricted the sandwich man to his own
sturdy legs.
But Worms handiwork is without the
natural merit of that of the unnamed
genius acting as press agent for
"Strongheart." One morning a few

some in the negative. The debate is
