Of its phases as they are to-day, with
special reference to the results obtained
during The last fifteen years or so.
IIc opens proceedings with an account
Of the methods and the progress of the
restoration of the old temples, starting
as ne does throughout, from earliest an,
tiquity:
There is a widespread impression, which
has taken hold even Of these who have Vis'
tied Egypt that the PharaOnic achleVemehls
in their enureY are saie IRON Ile ,,i rGGe Fe
has been extinct in them for so many years,
that RESTRICTION itself seems to have lost
al power; like mummies the dlsmembered
b0dies of the temples seem to lie on the
lroYud iu a state Of miraculous ana ever
lasting preservation. But TINS Is very
false impression Life has not depaTleu
from these desiCCated stones; SLOW process
Of destruction and transformation IS sun
going on i'm them, as has been made mani
fest in recent times by aCCiuemts @ EN- or tbn
vigilance Of the Egyptian Service oes An
tiquites.
The Pharaohs themselves constantly
repaired the temples, as is witnessed by
the self-laudatory tablets they put up.
II was early Christianity, beginning with
about the fourth century Of our era,
that condemned these "heathen" shrines
10 utter neglect. Then came the Moslem'
who devoted himself to the destruction
of the human face wherever it appeared
IN statue or relief; the DETACHMENT OF
the Sphinx was his work. And through
the ages natives and conquerors drew
upon the temples for building material,
turned them into living places and
buried them under rubbish. Egyptology
itself at its inception in the early years
Of the nineteenth century, encouraged
Copts and Arabs TO plunder the
ancient monuments for the formation
OF public and private collections. The
work Of preservation and restoration
has been organized now, and includes a
"decentralizing" policy, which aims at
leaving the monuments in place in their
entirety, instead Of sending statues and
other parts Of them to the Egyptian and
European museums.
NJ. Moret enters into interesting de-
tails Of the problems TO be solved and
the difficulties to be overcome. Care is

STOPPING down with one paw in the

| watched him closely and saw just
beyond his reach, a large male sal
mon, so nearly dead that he could
not swim. The bear was using his
paw to create an eddy which would
draw the fish within his grasp.
Slowly the salmon drifted toward the
rock.
1T was amusing to watch how
carefully the bear moved his paw
so as not to brighten his prey. At
last the fish came within reach,
Bruin reached over, gave it a quick
slap, seized it in his jaws and leaped
ashore. The whole performance
tickled me so that | let him go off,

THE ELKS OBSERVE
NATIONS FLAG DAY

The 135th anniversary of the
adoption Of the American flag was
duly observed by the Elks al last
nights meeting. The observance Of
this significant national day is en-
Joined by the rules of the order. The
ritual provides the form for the ex-
ercises, which are naturally of a
pathetic nature. At last nights
the program included the reading of
an address on Flag Day by Esteemed
Knight w. S. West and the reading
Of a history of the national emblem
by Past Exalted Ruler, John Bart
lett.
It is interesting to know that
similar observance of the day was
held by all Elks lodges throughout
the land last night, and probably a
hundred thousand Elks were rev-
erently participating in the cere-
mony of honoring the flag at the
samehOur.
Among the business transacted at
this meeting was the appointment of
