African Pompeii is Found in Sand.

| Discoveries of great interest to the
archaeological and scientific world
have been made in the Soudan by
James H. Breasted, professor oil
Egyptology in the University of Chi
cago, where he has spent second
winter, to complete the survey of the
monuments of Nubia, or the cataract
region of the Nile.
In the region of the third cataract
Prof. Breasted's expedition unearth-
ed the city of Gematon, the religious
and political capital OF Amenhotep III,
the mightiest of Egyptian Kings and
the first monothiest, who in history
belonged to the eighteenth dynasty,
which reigned in 100 B. c.
The existence of this ancient sun
city, erected by Amenhotep to intro
duce his exalted monotheistic teach
ing into Nubia, was unknown until 6
years ago, when Prof. Breasted found
trace of it among some inscriptions
at Thebes.
With the aid of his camera he made
a remarkable series of minute repro
ductions of all monumental inscrip-
tions at Gematon. The discovery of
the city was accomplished after a
perilous descent of the third cataract,
wherein the party was nearly drown
ed. The Chicago expedition repre-
sents the first attempt since that of
the German scientist, Lepsius, sixty
years ago. to furnish survey of the
Nubian monuments and supply the
scientific world with as complete a
work on Soudanez inscriptions as
Mommsen's studies of inscriptions
throughout the Roman world.
Prof. Breasted's expedition covered
during the winter about 1000 miles
of the Nile valley, from below Khar
toum on the south of Halfa, at the
foot of the second cataract on the
north. The complete facsimile pencil
copies and unusually large photo
graphic negatives of all the inscribed
sculptured monuments were obtain
ed. Among the new documents found
was the proof that the reliefs of the
temple of Sesebi are palimpsest
In recognition of Prof. Breasteds
services as an Egyptologist he has
just been elected to the German acad-
emy of Sciences, distinction rarely
conferred upon foreigners.
The explorer is enthusiastic in his
praise of the British rule in the Sou
dan, which he describes as an un-
speakable blessing. His operations
were much facilitated by Sir Regi-
nald Wingate. the governor general
of the Soudan, who possessed an as
complete technical knowi-
edge of the scientific aspects of MS
historic viceroyalty.

Land Congress Ends.

The public land convention ende,
late Thursday afternoon with tn,
adoption of series of resolution,
which were not so radical as expected
A letter from President Roosevelt
was a feature of Thursdays session
The re.olution over which was tn,
most dispute read:
eve oppose any change in the ex
listing laws and customs as to graz
ing live stock on the public domain
outside of forest reserves"
The resolutions say that experience
has demonstrated the wisdom of the
policy of treating the lands of the
Nation as public trust to be dis
posed of in all cases and wherever
possible to actual settlers. The peo-
pie of The West are unalterably op-
posed to any change in this whole
some and beneficial policy. Forest
reserves should only be created
where they do not infringe on this
policy In all cases the rights of the
States and the people of the States to
the free and unhampered use of all
waters within forest reservations
should not only be permitted but en-
couraged, and no charge should be
imposed thereon.
The necessity of forest reservations
is recognized and reasonable regula-
tions by the Government commend
ed. The resolutions, however, favor
the prompt elimination from forest
reservations os all lands not timbered
or suitable for reforestration or reas-
onably necessary to conserve the flow
of streams used for irrigation. 1t is
especially urged that the reports of
special and secret service agents of
the Land Department and of the De-
partment of Agriculture shall be
made under oath.
A modification of any existing or
ders which prevents bona fde filings
on any of the public coal lands is de-
manded and the national irrigation
law is heartily indorsed. 1t is asked
that Congress legislatc appropriately
with respect to school lands in reser-
vations so that each State deprived
of these lands may receive its full
quota of lands or its equivalent for
the purpose for which they were orig
inaIly intended.
1t Is finally demanded that in States
wherein forest reserves are situated
and are not desired and are exces-
sive, the reservation should be reduc-
ed to reasonable limits whether the
land restored contains timber or not
The convention has been remark
able in that its discussions have been
almost entirely connhed to criticism
of the national administration policy
of handling the public lands. James
R. Garfield, secretary of the interior,
and R. A. Ballingcr. commissioner OF
he Land Office, were heard on the
first day, but since then there has
been but one address in support of
the administration. Conservatives.
