Cairo, Egypt, March 26.-Up with
the sun, after restful night at Mena
house, Colonel Roosevelt and party
were early astir preparing for WISH
at Metropolis of Sakkara, where are
the wonderful tombs of various kings,
of Thy and the Apis Bulls. A portion
of Thursday night was spent IN view
ing the sphynx by moonlight, and Mr..
Roosevelt said yesterday that the
weird sight had been thoroughly en-
loved by himself and family. 1t was
the most interesting thing he had
seen during the trip to Africa.
Last night the Roosevelt family re-
turned to Cairo, dined with American
Consul General Iddings, and later at
tended a banquet rendered him by Sir
Eden Gorst, British agent and consul
general of Egypt.
Major Watson paid the respects OF
the khedive to the American huntsman
and rendered him the use of the
khedive's special camel corps for an
eight mile ride across the desert to
Sakkara Nh Roosevelt accepted with
much pleasure. The colonel and Ker-
nit each rode one of the animals over
the dreary waste to Metropolis, but
Mrs Roosevelt and Miss Ethel chose
a more comfortable sand cart.
Arriving at the tombs of the bulls
of Apis. the oldest of which dates
back to 1900 B. c., the sightseers were
met by an archaeologist who had been
instructed to act as guide. With
lighted candles the Americans entered
the dark caverns and looked with in
terest upon the huge sarcophagii.
Mr.. Roosevelt evinced great curios-
ity in the methods used by the
ancient Egyptians, and piled the
Psychologist with numerous questions.
From the tombs of the bulls the par
ty proceeded to the temples and
tomb of Thy, plebian, who lived IN
the fifth dynasty. but who was so
I esteemed that he was permitted to
marry a princess. Here the Roose-
welt family was joined by Oscar S.
Straus, American ambassador to Tur-
key, Mrs. Straus, Mr.. Iddings and Miss
Iddings
From the temple the Roosevelt party
repaired to the home of the archeol-
ogist, where they stopped for few
minutes to partake of light refresh
ments. The privacy of the move
ments of the Americans was invaded
during their tour by a moving pic
ture man, who focused his machine
upon them and rolled off yard after
yard of films.
After refreshments the entire party
continued the sightseeing trip toward
the Nile In recrossing the desert

ANSWERS TO QUERIES

SPULING SALT-X. A T., City. What is
the superstitition about spilling salt?
One authority says that the spilling
of salt is a superstition derived from
their sacrifices and regarded it as
sacred to the penates. Hence to spill
salt carelessly was to incur the dis
pleasure of the household divinities.
After accidentally splitting salt the
ancient Romans were wont to throw
some over the left shou1der-the shoul-
der of i'll omen-thereby hoping to call
away from his neighbor the wraths Of
the deity and turn it upon himself.
Another authority says: THE popular
belief that it is unlucky to spill salt
probably originated from Leonardo da
Vincis picture of the last supper, in
which Judas Iscariot is represented as
spilling the salt A gift of bread and
salt was a token of friendship; salt
was a sign of amity, so the spilling
of a mans salt may have betokened
enmity."
