archaeological bombshell dropped
among the savants by an anonymous
writer. who asserts that the great
Egyptian queen now lies in a gloomy

His story is that Cleopatra's num-
my was buried there forty years ago
by the library officials, who did not
know what else to do with it. 1t had
been brought to Paris from Egypt en-
closed in a sarcophagus. which is still
on view in the library
But after some months it became i'm
possible to keep the mummy itself
within the building, so it was secretly
buried in the little garden outside the
library walls. No stone, tablet or ev-
en- mound. marks the spot where Cleo
patro is buried, which Is divided BY

more interesting clergyman than the
Rev. Frank Swanson OF St. Barnabas

Mr.. Swanson is the clergyman who
has been carrying on a ruthless cam

church. the alleged frauds practiced by
the disciples of the Santanic are" and

therefore. that the spiritualists are
afraid to risk the ordeal of a public
independent test"

Il am now seeking an opportunity to
take police-court proceedings" re-
piled the vicar.
Mr.. Swanson has already given suf-
ficient proof of his resolution to show
that this is no idle threat and it may
be confidently anticipated. therefore.

One of the most curious read:

enough to form a spirit circle. Through
meddling with the things We got into
