sldered sufficient reward for an entire
winters search.
Mr. Davis is the only American en-
joying the privilege of excavating for
the tombs OF Egyptian royalty. The
government Of Egypt gives him ex-
elusive right to work in the Valley Of
the Kings near Thebes.
In return for his expenditure of time
and money in this fascinating pursuit
Mr. Davis finds ample compensation in
the pleasure Of bringing to light price
less relics of the early Egyptian dynas-
ties and of recording for circulation
among Psychologists the character Of
his findings.
He is not permitted to keep the
relics found, the Egyptian government
lays claim to them all and places them
in the museum at Cairo, except in
such instances as that Of the finding

TRUE STORY OF HEROIC WORK
OF LIVING FIRE ENGINES.
Thrilling Incident Of Railway
Wreck Ia Which Circus Els-
plants Played the
Star Parts.

In all time, probably, human life
has never been saved by animals more
extraordinary, or in a fashion more
unlooked,for. than recently at a place
some few miles beyond Morgantown,
in Virginia
There had been a collision on tie
line. A pile Of wreckage from which the
smoke curled omincusly marked allthat
was left Of goods train belonging to
the Baltimore & Ohio railway A
group Of ofhcials was gathered at one
end of the debris. Beneath piles Of
broken timber the driver lay impris-
oned but unhurt. But the train was
on fire, and the flames crept ever
nearer the unfortunate man. Desper-
ately the officials stroye to shift the
heavy beams, till the persplration
poureM from their faces.
Hope had almost died when another
train arrived In few words the
guard told Of the fearful death await
ing the driver Of the wrecked en-
gine. Passengers descended from the
carriages and hastened to the spot.
Then transformation came over the
scene. Hope grew in every heart. and
voices shouted encouragement to the
imprisoned man.
At the farther end OF the train that
had recently arrived a strange sight
was being presented. A huge elephant.
following the command Of its trainer.
clambered clumsily down from a van
on to the track. This elephant the
trainer explained to curious passen-
gers, was Bacil, whom rumor credited
as the mother Of Jumbo. Moreover,
she was 200 years Of age.
Then from other vans-for by a
strange fortune the train happened to
be bearing the stock and impedimenta
Of travelling circus-eight more ele.
plants were detrained.
Leading Bacil to the spot where the
driver lay imprisoned, the trainer com
manded her to remove the heavy tim.
bers With infinite caution, stepping
warily over smouldering beams, Bacil
wound her trunk around one huge
rafter raised it, and laid it some
yards aside. Then. returning, piece
by piece she gallantly accomplished
her task.
But still the fire was creeping nearer
and nearer to the helpless driver No
doubt he was aware that frantic ef-
forts we're being made to save him.
Yet by what means remained a mys-
terry.
A cry arose for water Bacil had
nobly borne away even charred and
smoking beam. But now, unless water

Crate in Tauroom OF Fell Tavern at
WiIkesbarre, Pa.

called, for the first time in an open
CRATE The experiment was in the
big taproom Of the old Fell tavern,
and this room and the CRATE are still
preserved, although the old tavern has
long since disappeared. The room
was kept intact and the present build
ing, hotel, was erected around it.
Coal had been discovered many
years before Judge Felrs experiment,
but had not been put to practical use
except by few blacksmiths, who had
burned it in their forges, where, under
a strong draft, it had ignited and
made a hot fire. No one thought Of
using 1t for household purposes, how.
ever, until Judge Fell began to think
that If fire such as he had seen in
some forges could be produced from
it, it would be of exceedingly great
value in the household. He set to
work, and although scoffed at by
many friends he had built into the
old fireplace in the big taproom two
side walls Of brick, and at the bot
tom and front Of the open box he
formed in the center he put fiat strips
Of iron, forming CRATE bars.
It was a wintry night when Judge
Fell filled up the CRATE with wood, got
it we'll ablaze upon foundation Of
red hot embers, and then placed the
coal upon it. While the interested
and scofing crowd Of town notables
watched. they saw that without, any
aid in the form Of an artificial draft
the coal soon ignited, and in a little
while was soon red hot and giving
forth steady, lasting heat they never
obtained from wood.
In this manner the real usefulness
of anthracite coal was established.
The business grew very slowly, how
ever, and it was not until eight years
later that shipments Of hard coal
reached 1000 tons.

IN THE SOUTH SEA

mates to bOuntiful stores Of food A
month later the government steamer
Hinemoa, stopping at the island on its
annual trip, brought the is Robinson
Crusoes to New Zealand.
The saving of the lives of these sail
ors was accomplished through the
agency OF a peculiar system Of char
ity which is kept up in that region of
almost perpetual billiards on various
islands lying from 200 to 700 miles
south Of New Zealand and only a
few hundred miles north of
perpetual ice. On those remote
shores, rocky. sterile, storm
bound. has been established a chain
Of food sheds as the sailors call
them. from which a stranded, starv-
ing crew may obtain provisions to
prolong life until they can be taken
aboard a passing ship In galvanized
iron houses, about Is feet wide and
20 feet long, are stored timed meat,
biscuits, cocoa. tea, flour, matches.
candles, lamps, Kerosene. axes, fish
ing tackle, blankets. clothing. cloth,
needles. cotton and many more things
likely to prove of service to a ship
wrecked crew. In each one of these.
sheds may also be found a good, sea-
worthy. decked boat, fitted with sails,
oars. compass and a chart, giving the
course to the Blur Lighthouse, the.
nearest roint on the New Zealand
coast The islands which are now sup.
piled with these relief depots are the
Antipodes, Auckland EndeTby and
Campbell islands. which belong to-
New Zealand, and the Macquaries, be-
longing to Tasmania.
The New Zealand government erect
cd these storehouses and keeps them
stocked Once each year the govern
ment steamer Hinemoa visits the
islands to repair the sheds in case
they should have been damaged by
storm and 10 overhaul the stores Of
provisions. And on almost every
cruise the Hinemoa rescues some

Things Revealed.

Boston.-The problem Of a wealthy
business man Of how to occupy his
time after retiring has been happily
solved by Theodore N. Davis Of New
York and Newport.
Mr. Davis has spent his winters for
the past FIVE years in conducting exca-
yations among the tombs Of the kings
near Thebes, in Egypt. His summers
are spent at his villa in Newport. the
Reef.
Here an interviewer found him not
long ago. He was then preparing for
his annual trip to Egypt, to which he
Is now en- route, to begin his sixth sea
son Of research.

Davis house was an exquisite Egyptian
relic, an alabaster head of one of the
ancient queens Of Egypt, which formed
part Of his treasure trove last season.
Before sailing for Europe, on his
way to Egypt Mr. Davis sent this
treasure to the Metropolitan museum
Of art in New York. where it is now on
exhibition.
The head Is that of Queen Thy, and
is one of the four that were found in
her tomb. II represents the art Of
Egypt s,70O years ago, and is one Of
