REMOVING A TOMB.

There is little limit to the length to
which relic hunters will go. or to the
expense and trouble they will undergo
in order to carry out an object, and
this is especially true of we Ameri-
cans. Nor does 1t appear that DIFF
heulties will stand in the way Of OBJ
tanning what they want. When, for
example, the proposal was made some
thirty years ago to remove the Egyp-
tian ohelisk. known as Cleopatra's
Needle, from Egypt to New York, it
was looked on as an impossible task.
The obeHslk. as we now remember it's
size and weight. was about seventy
feet tall. and weighed two hundred
and twenty tons. as estimated. and it
was pointed out by those who thought
they knew. that it would be humanity
impossible to devise any method by
which the hugh object could be moved
to the coast and then transported
thousands of miles across the seas to
New York.
Nevertheless. the task was not only
undertaken, but was successfully car
. ried out. and the obelisk now stands
in New York's Central Park, not only
as an enduring monument to Egyp-
tian art and skill. but as a monument
to American determination and adapt
ability. Since that feat was accom-
plished, there have been great advances
in navigation and engineering. and
now there II talk of attempting a task
of still greater magnitude and diff
ficuity-or the difficulty would be
greater If the object to be removed
was in one solid piece. Some twenty
miles from Cairo stands an ancient
Egyptian tomb. estimated to weigh
about two hundred and fifty tons. and
there is talk of bringing that over
and planting IT in the Museum OF Ma
tional History in Chicago.
Now. We don't know just what Chi
cageeso want with the old tomb. or
what use they propose to put it to. but
If they want it and can get it. we sup
