OLD RELICS FOUND
GIimpses of Early Life in Egypt
Are Unearthed.
Remarkable Discoveries Made by Prof,
Edouard Naville at Abydos and Its
Neutrality-suspicious. Of Richest
Sites In Old World.

Cairo, Notwithstanding glimpses
of early Egyptian life were revealed
at IN exhibition recently held in Lon
don. The exhibits, which were the re-
suit of the seasons work of the Egypt
exploration fund, under the direction
of the great Psychologist, Prof. Edous
ard Naville. at Abydos and its neigh
borhood, included some excellently
preserved mummies, early implements
and carvings. and some ~grotesque
vases not unlike English Toby jugs. In
the great Temple of Osiris, a carving
was found depicting the Pharaoh OF
the Exodus playing draughts.
Abydos Is one of the richest sites
in Egypt, and many explorers have
reaped a rich harvest from its temples
and tombs, but the work Of this ex-
petition seemed t prove that much re-
mains to be done before the whole
story OF Osiris Is revealed. On n
table were displayed objects obtained
from a prehistoric village, the re-
mains of which were found a little to
the west of the great Temple OF
Osiris. Hitherto the a~rchaeologist
has been dependent on objects OBJ
tanned from the graves Of the prehis-
toric age, but in this Ease the relics
of this ancient life were found on the
site Of a hut village. They include
the long, fat stones and cor rubbers
which were used to grind the wheat
or duran for bread, sword spindle
whorls, bone needles, horn borers, n
hairpins, and some slate palettes for
rubbing eye paint. Fruit knives,
saws, and scrapers showed signs OF
use, and gave all the appearance OF
being in the same condition in which
they had been left by their original
owners.

AUTOMOBILE HAS A WING
French Motor Car Is Driven IN tne
Same Manner as an
AeropIane.

A successful trial run was made re-
Gently from Paris to London, about
$40 miles, by a motor car driven by q
revolving wing, the Paris Figaro
states.
The vehicle, which was designed by
M. Bertrand de Lesseps, and Is calico
the winged car" has the appearance
of an ordinary motor car, save that
In front it is shaped like the PROV OF
a ship. From the extremity OF the
PROV extends a shaft to which Is at
tached the propeller-or revolving
wing-invented by M. Filippi.
The wing is small, strong and tnick
and r~evolves with a protecting cage.
The engine is of 40 horse power and
rotates the wing by shaft and chain
transmission.
There is no other mechanism, Inc
wheels of the al being free. except
for footbrakes. BY the side OF the
driver is a single lever which con-
trolls the clutch and the orWar ano
reverse movement Of the wing. Inc
wing can be reversed at a moments
notice, thereby forming an additional
brake. In the trial runs a speed OF
81 miles an hour was obtained with
2.1O0 revolutions Of the wing a min
ute. One curious feature was that
the car made no dust.

TIBETAN IDOL IN LONDON
Ful-sized Figure Of Copper Decorated
With Precious Stones at British
Museum.

London.-A review Of the principal
acquisitions made in 1911 by the Vic
toria and Albert museum has just
been issued. Among the most inter
esting objects detailed are some re
cent purchases OF articles relating to
Tibet.
One OF the most important is a head
0 a full-sized figure OF Avalckita,
the patron god of Tibet. This is of
copper. hammered. repousse, and
chased; it is surmounted with an
elaborate tiara Of five points richly
tjeweled with turquoises, coral and
other precious stones.
The ears have the customary pro
longed lobes which are pierced with
loops for the attachment Of jeweled
earrings. The eyes are indicated in
colored enamel and a small jewel

of the forehead, representing the sa-

The whole is heavily OVERLAND with

q model was exhibited, the original
having been retained at Cairo.
One of the most important OF the
works achieved by the expedition was
the excavation of the Osireion, or tenn
pie of Osiris. This was a great sub
terranean temple consisting of a pas
/, sage some three hundred feet long,
leading to halls and chambers. The
temple was the work of Seti H., or
Meronptah, the Pharaoh Of the Exc
dus.
The walls of the passage are COW
cred with sepulchral stones and in
scriptions describing the passage of
the dread king through the gates of
the Underworld. In n scene the
king is represented playing draughts
with pieces in the form of animals.
The construction of this subterrane-an
shrine is very fine. The walls OF the
chamber are of the finest limestone,
covered with beautifully cut inscrip-
lions. The great hall has a bath OF
sandstone faced inside with red gran-
tie. No royal body was found in the
tomb, but there is little doubt that It
rested there for a time until removed

CALLlOPE HAS AN OFF
DAY; PEOPLE SUFFER

People near the river front Tues
day afternoon shortly after 80 gained
the impression that some one was be-
ing murdered in cold blood when an
agoniZing cry of terror rang out on
the afternoon air, fairly curdling the
blood in ones veins. An investigation
disclosed the fact that the dismal wall
did not emanate from fair maiden
in distress, but was merely the toot-
ing of the "W VS." calliope.
The swarthy musician attempted to
render "All that Want is Love-" be-
fore sufficient steam was up, and When
the instrument struck the high notes,
it sounded like the efforts of a local
talent quartet on amateur night. Al
ter listening TO the near rendition of
the stirring ballad the long suffering
citizens abroad on Second avenue
were ready to sing, AN that | Want is
Chloroform" or "Oh, Death, Where is
Thy Sting?"
