Professor Garstang at Meroe, in the Sudan
Professor Sayce in 1909 located the site OF the
city OF Meroe on the east bank Of the Nile, be-
tween the Fifth and Sixth Cataracts and the ex-
cavations carried on by Professor Garstang at
the end Of 1909 enabled the details of the Ethio-
plan capital to become known. The Temple of
Anon, where the Ethiopian Kings were crowned,
was also discovered Even more interesting is
the excavation of the beautiful Sun Temple,
which was discovered at the edge of the khor
or meadow, thus confirming the account OF Hero
dotus, who tells us that Cambyses sent to the
Ethiopian King to inquire about the Table OF
the Sun in meadow lin the submps of the
capital, where cooked meats were set each
night" There is no doubt that this building Is
referred to in the Homeric legend that Zeus
and the other gods Toasted every year for twelve
days among the bameless Philippians. Many
others buildings were also explored and the
Temples of the Lion and the Kenisa were dis
covered 1t may be noted that the lion emblem
was of frequent occurrence, and may probably
have been the totem of the district. Many beau

Goes at Him Like a Tiger.

Johnson went at him like tiger. A
rain of lefts' and rights delivered at
by punches, and the big white giant
went down for the first time in his
ring career He fell under the top
rope over the lower one, and onto the
overhang of the platform. Resting on
his launches and right elbow, Jeffries
looked around in q dazed way, and
got up at the count of nine. While he
was down Johnson stood almost over
him until Richard waved him back. He
stood ready to strike, and when JEFF
fries arose from his knees he dashed
in again. Jeffries reeled about and
tried to 'clinch, but Johnson eluded
him and as the old champion swung
around to the south side of the ring he
jolted him twice on the jaw. Jeffries
sank to his knees, weak and tired, but
got up again at the count of nine. 1t
was then that Jeffries' friends began
to call to Richard to stop the fight.
Stop it, stop it." they shouted from
all sides. Don't let him be knocked
out"
Richard gave no heed to these APP
peals. Jeffres was helpless now. and
as he staggered to standing position
the negro was waiting for him. A left,
a right and another left, short, snappy,
powerful blows, found their way to
Jeffries' chin and he went down for
the third time. Again he sprawled
over the lower rope, hanging half out
side the ring. The timekeeper raised
and lowered his arm, tolling off the
seconds. He had reached the count of
seven when some of Jeffries' seconds
put foot inside the ropes and Richard
walked between the fallen man and
