Among Interesting Egyptian Relics In
New York Museum.

Fourteen models used by an Egyp-
tian sculptor $500 years ago are on
view among new objects gathered by
the New York Metropolitan Museum
of Art.
Some of the bits of sculpture have
upon them the red lines and the mark
lngs which the master so long ago put
on them to show where certain cary
ing was to be done. They are in soft
limestone, and, frail as is the ma
terial, they have lost nothing of the
beauty of outline. A queen or god
less in several poses is one Of the sub
Iects.
Most important Of the new speci-
mems in the museum is the large ba-
salt sarcophagus Of H6r-mehet-biti,
which was purchased, from the Egyp-
tan government. It weighs six tons.
On it is the inscription in hieroglyph.
les that its occupant was the royal
treasurer, the royal friend, the over
seer Of the palace, the overseer of the
royal chamber honored by Ptah
Seeker"
Eight vessels of silver and gold,
bearing the name of Rameses H., have
also been added in the collections. as
well as the whip and the scepter, and
other insignia Of authority carried by
an ancient ruler.

day followed, and Anderson and my

lats. Then we found the other 16 be-
