Bring Rare Antiquities From Egypt

PROF. &. NaVille, consisted Of an at
tempt to clear finally the royal tombs
Of the first and second dynasties: but
much still remains to be done at this
site, and good results are expected
from the continuation of the WORK
next season. From these excavations
come slate palettes, jars and vases
ornaments Of glaze. wood, stone, car.
nelian, amethyst and flint; flint
raZors, ivory carvings, beads and pot
terry.
It is a significant TACT that many OF
the discoveries Of the last year are
injured by dampness, because they
lie so near the area of cultivation
The wide extension of agriculture
Egypt resulting from the building OF
the monster dams at Assiout and As
sOuan, has not been an unmixed
blessing. Many of the nobIest monu
ments have been injured and will III
timately be overthrow by the en-
croaching waters. The relics of this
past that have lain safely in the dry
sands OF Egypt are already beginning
to decay at the touch of the infltrat
ing waters. A few years more and
the excavator will find nothing OF
value in places that are now rick
fields for archaeological research.

Now that the necessity is seen steps

self-denial and fidelity made our great
life possible. and that we stand on
their bones and have built on their
plans, inventions, accomplishments,
tolls, ambitions and defeated hopes.
From this backward Contemplation
let US turn for moment toward the
future, to the generations to come,
and let US highly resolve to leave an
improved and augmented legacy to
