AN ALABASTER SPHINX.
Ninety Ton Statue Unearthed on the
Plains of Memphis.

Another sphinx, weighing ninety tons
and carved from single rock of ala
baster. has been unearthed at point
between the world famed colossi on
the waterlogged plains of Memphis, in
Egypt. For hundreds of years it has
laid in recumbent position, buried
beneath the sands on the road to SAX
kareh. Today 1t is half exposed to
view, and next year it is to be raised to
a vertical position above the water line
This newly found sphinx was be.
trayed in its hiding place by its tail,
which Mr.. Mackay, one of the students
of the British school in Egypt, discov-
cred about a year ago This year when
the water on the plain subsidized the
complete figure was eXcavated and was
found to measure some fourteen feet
high and twenty-six feet in length.
Alabaster being a rock foreign to the
neighborhood, says the London Stand
ard, Cue new sphinx ranks as the lar
gest that has ever been transported
The figure bears no inscription, but is
considered by Professor Flinders Pc
trie, the director Of the British school
in Egypt, to have been carved about
1900 b. c.
Many other remarkable discoveries,
taking the mind back rs far as $500
b. C. and lifting the veil OF centuries
from Egypt's romantic story, have also
been made by the same school and with
the exception OF a red granite group Of
Rameses III. ard the god Ptah, which
will be sent directly to the Carlsberg
museum at Copenhagen, and a few
other details are now on exhibition at
University college Cover street. They
include many objects quite new to
Psychologists.
Among these are collins made Of bas.
network, reeds or withes, sandal trays,
an ak handle In which the grip is COM
posed Of delicately knotted string. a
pot OF unburned incense for a fire Of
fering OF 1000 b. C. and numerous
pieces OF timber showing by their for
nation the principles Of building con-
struction that were In vogue nearly
5000 years b. G.
