-.- Scarabs.

Two scarabs which are engaging
the attention of the French Academy
of Inscriptions and Bellies Lettres
should set at rests all doubts as to
whether Africa really was circum-
navigated so long ago as 600 B. c.
by an explorer commissioned by the
Egyptian king. For these scarabs
seem to be genuine Official records of
the voyage, one of them given by the
explorer himself. But the evidence
In favor of the truth of the story re-
corded by Herodotus has always been
convincing. He mentions the naviga-
tors statement that in sailing round
Africa they had the sun on their
right hand-that is, to the north
dismissing this as a travellers tale
which he for one could not believe.
OF course, any voyager around Africa
would see the sun in that position,
though no one In Herodotus' time
who had not done so would be likely
TO believe It. Hence this very detail
proves the trustworthiness of the
whole story.-London Chronicle
