Valuable Pnpyrf From Egypt . 4bo phfJade1nhia I,edRer

Prof. w. Max Muller, who was ap- pointed lecturer on Egyptology in the university this fall. has just returned from Egypt, where he went at the in- stance of the Carnegie institution oi Washington to copy the inscriptions on the buildings on the Island of Philae in the Nile, which are doomed to de- struction by the Assuan dam. He has brought back what he regards as the most important collection Of papyrl ever brought to this country.
 This collection goes to the university museum and Prof. Muller says, that II is due to the generosity of Mrs. Charles c. Harrison that the institution be- comes possessor of so important an &C., emulation of archaeological material
 Prof. Muller. who spent the last six months in Egypt, said he had copied about three hundred inscriptions from the Temple of Philae. He said that he arrived at "the twelfth hour" and that in a. short time the temple and every inscription would have been inundated The task of making the copies prevent ed much work, at translatipg the char acters. This work is to be begun i'm mediately. he said. together with the deciph ering of the records on the pa pyri which date as far back us 700 B. C., or beyond the twenty-sixth dynasty, and including more recent records of the Greek occupation.
 The papyrus is thicker and more stiff than the average paper of today. and on account of it's extreme age has to be handled with the greatest caution and care. The records, for the great part, are written in ink. The collection, Prof. Muller said, had. been bought by him from private collector in Cairo.

he is learning and he is paying for it too. For example, I noticed whilo ago that one of his rear tires had a flat spot on it, where apparently 1t had slid when he set his brakes trifla hard. A few inches of fabric were exposed and I advised him to take the shoe off and send it to vulcan izing shop. But no, that was too sim ple for himi All the tire neded was a patch and the guessed he could put the patch on as well as anyone. So he spent a couple of hours cutting a piece from an cd inner tube, scarfins its edges down as neatly as he could, and cementing it over the flat spot"
 what sort of cement did he use?' l asked with, grin-
 Just common ordinary cement, the kind that comes in tin tubes Well, of course, the patch came off right away when he ran the thing. Then he thought that the reason 1t came off was that the front edge could peel up, and that the way to make it stick was to have an endless belt all around. So Snyder actually put in half g. day peel ing all the rest of the tread from that perfectly good tire and cementing an endless band from an inned tube all around it.
 I gasped.
 Needless to say, his beautiful end less band parted company with the tire without much ceremony. A few days later he invited my nephew to go with hinl for ride. I know what that meant. and warned the boy that he would probably have to work his passage He went, however; guess he wanted to see the fun. Before they had gone 15 miles that re-treaded tire went bang! whefS water and his sur parv had weak ened it.
 "The other day, after I had steerd his car into the garage, he asked me what I thought he ought to do with 1t. said to him, Snyder, I'm your friend, and I'll help you with this car to the point of getting it so it will run. But that is absolutely all I'll do. You have put the rig on the bum in too many ways for me to feel inclined to have a hand in 1t. When I get it so it will run, take it to town and ask the agent for his best offer in part trade for new car. Take his offer. even if 1t is only 50 cents. And, when you get the new car. for heavens sake let it alone!"

INFECTION IN THE PRISON
Peculiarly Favorable Field There for
the Spread Of the Scourge
Of tuberculosis.

Only twenty-one prisons In fifteen
states and territories have provided
special places for the treatment OF
their tuberculosis prisoners. These in
stitutions can accommodate, however
only 500 patients. In three-fourths of
the major prisons and in practically
all the jails of the country the tuber-
culous prisoner is allowed freely to
infect his fellow prisoners, very few
restrictions being placed upon his
habits. When the congregate mode of
prison life is considered. the danger of
infection becomes greater than in the
general population. New York and
Massachusetts are the only states
where anr systematic attempt has
been made 10 transfer all tuberculous
prisoners to one central institution.
The largest prison tuberculosis hospi-
tai is in Manila, where accommoda-
tions for 200 prisoners are provided.
The next largest is Clinton prison hos
pital in New York, which provides for
$50.

At present the efforts Of the British navy are
handicapped by the fact that the photographed
conditions of Muscat, indeed Of the whole lit

to go very close to the coast 1t Is this fact which
enables the gun-running dhows to escape the vlgf
lance of British cruisers.

plan Of hugging the coast within the shallow-wa-
