From tie Zion's Herald.
The great result OF the work Of this
year carried on at Memphis by Prof. Flinders
Petris under the auspices Of the British
School OF Archaeology has been the dis
covery OF the palace Of King Apries. the
Pharaoh Hophra Of the Bible. who WAS con-
temporary with Jeremiah. B. c.. e2s-Sss.
Hitherto no palace has been known In
Egypt other han the tower at Medinet
Habu and some portions Of q rather earlier
date. The palace was 700 feet long and 200
feet broad. with n middle court 100 feet
square. 1t was adorned with painted
columns forty feet high and surrounded
with stone lined walls ffteen feet thick
The approach to the palace led UP through
q large mass Of buildings to q platform at
q height Of about sixty feet above the plain.
In the ruins scale armor. hitherto rarely
found in Egypt. was discovered. Good
bronze figures Of the gods were also found
What Prof. Pstfie describes as a supreme
piece was the fitting Of . %palanauin Of solid
silver, a pound In weight, decorated with
. bust Of Hathor, with a gold face OF finest
workmanship Of the time Of Apries.
The great gateway and immense wsllf
descend. deep into the. mound. indicating
that there lie ruins OF successive palaces
built n over the other. Prof. Petrie prop.
hesies that In siI or eight years exca.
vators might dig down to the earliest
records OF the Egyptian kingdom.

HARVARD N ILLINOIS.
In the l. c. A. A. A. A. meet Harvard
scored 39.1 points. 1llinois's winning to-
tai was SO points. Four places count
at Cambridge and only three at Chicago,
| which makes the Illinois total rather
the better at first glance. However. there
are fifteen events which count in the con-
ference games, the discus throw and the
relay race being on the programme
in addition to the thirteen that count
in the intercollegiate championships:
Illinois won irsts in both these n
thereby added 10 points to the score.
In comparing the regulation thirteen
competitions therefore Illinois scored only
20 points whore Harvard made SOL. Both
colleges were shut out OF points in Tour
events. Harvard did not score In the half
mile and mile runs. tho broad jump and
the hammer throw. Illinois failed to get
any places in the 100 yard run, the mile.
the high hurdles and the shotput.
In the main the strength OF both cham
pion colleges was in like events, Both
scored in the 200 yard and 4io yard runs:
Harvard making Q points in a n
Illinois 3 in each. In the low hurdles
Harvard made 4 points and Illinois 3.

the handkerchief out almost straight and
when he jumped, his heel spikes after DIS

Had he not had the handkerchief on

then gave the unique decision that a. tho

behind them. No breath of wind
stirred it. With the stiffness of sig
nal column it rose, thin and black.
and high in the air spread motionless,
like huge umbrella, above Smoky
creek. Reed Young had gone with an

McCloud, active among the trackmeD
until the confagration spent itself,
had retired to the shade of the hill.
Reclining against a rock with his
legs crossed, he had clasped his hands
behind his head and sat looking at the
iron writing in the. dying heat of the
fire. The sound of hoofs aroused him,
and looking below he saw a horse
woman refining up near his men at the
wreck. She rode an American horse,
thin and rangy. and the experienced
way in which she checked him drew
him back almost to his launches. But
McClouds eyes were fixed on the slen-
der figure of the rider Her boot
flashed In the stirrup while she spoke
TO the nearest man, and her horse
stretched his neck and nosed the
brown alkaligrass that spread thinly
along the road.
To McCloud she was something like
an apparition. He sat spellbound un.
til the trackman indiscreetly pointed
him out, and the eyes of the visitor,
turning his way, caught him with his
hands on the rock in an attitude open
ly curious. She turned Immediately
away. but McCloud rose and started
