Interesting Discoveries by Ex-
CaVatOrS
EARTHEN FORTRESS FOUND
Walls Are Over One Hundred Feet
Thick and Enclose a Space About
a Quarter of a Mile in Diameter.

London. June 10.-The archaeologi-
cal excavations under the direction of
Daninos Pasha have now fully reveal
eu the Metropolis of i~Ieliopolis, which
vas the intellectual center of Egypt
for over four thousand years, and the
place where Moses received the
sacerdotal and military training
which enabled him to lead the Israe-
lites out Of their Egyptian bondage.
The Metropolis is situated in the
desert a tritie more thar three miles
eastward Of the Matarish Obelisk. The
burial places cut from the rocks of
the Arabian range were from 6o to
22O feet deep. They were covered
with sand. the removal Of which re
yealed mummies of human bodies and
the skeletons of sacred ani1nal and
birds. Cndamaged Ibis eggs were
also found. Unfortunately these
tombs had been ~ransacked years ago
by Romans and Arabs hunting for
treasure. and only about five or six
per cen Of them had escaped the
Z of the treasure seekers.
Gigantic Sphinx.
A pillar has hoon found decorated
with the black bull Nnevis. and this
indicates what the 'e~XCaVators hope
will prove to be in the newly dis
covered Metropolis. a Mnevisseum,
which is sure to contain objects and
documents Of the greatest interest.
DaninOs Pasha is now devOting all
Of his energies to ~uncovering this
Mnevisseum
The British School Of Archaeology
has also been making some interest
ing discoveries as the result Of their
excavations in the desert. AT Mem
phis the e~xcaVatOrs for the school IN
covered a gigantic SPHINX made Of
alabaStpr and Weighinp 80 tons. h
sphinx, which is in a perfect state OF
preservation, was carved and erected
about 1900 s. c.
At Heliopolis the school excavators
uncovered an earthen fortress with
walls over one hundred feet thick, en-
closing q rounded square a quarter OF
q mile in diameter. It is not Egypt
ian work and probably dates ack tC
the early barbaric invasion.

Stockholm, June 10.-Much regret
has been expressed hat America will
not be represented by a crew at the
1912 Olympiad. It was expected hat
Yale. Harvard or Cornell would send
q picked eight, and it is still hoped
that at the last Woment a representa-

persuaded to enNr.
The Australian eight and a sculler
are in England now DractiCing for
the regatta. England, which will not
send her crews until after the Henley
regatta, will be represented by an
eight and a four. Among the other
nations which will be contenderS in
the rowing races are France, Italy,
Finland. Denmark, Norway. Sweden,
Russia, Germany, Hungary and
Austria.
Some Dissatisfaction.
Some little dissatisfaction is ex-
pressed because the great maritime
powers. England and France, will be
represented only in the yacht races by
six meter boats. GERMANY is well rep
resented on the water by two yachts
of each class. other nations which
have heavy entries for the yachting

Arabia Reveals Secrets.

Central Arabia, which has been as
unknown to the white map maker as
the polar regions. has given up it's
secrets to M. Barclay Raunkiaer. who
has reported to the Royal Danish Geo
graphical Society that he arrived at
Muscat in. Oman on May 4 after a
perilous trip through the interior
Arabian deserts.
Only meager details OF the trip have
been received by the society. but these
give the members reason for believ-
ing that the exploring expedition has
been highly successful.
The explorer left Copenhagen last
November. but his real explorations
did not begin until he cached Basra
from Bagdad in January of this year.
Through the assistance Of the Vail OF
Basra he was able to continue bis
journey to KOweit, where he was the
guest of the regent Sheik Mobarek.
At this place he made his final plans
for his dash across the unknown
deserts. He chose to go through the
desert via h GASES Of Bereida and
Rad in the heart Of Central Arabia,
inhabited by the Wahabis. and thence
eastward through the oasis of Mofuf
to the coast. That he succeeded in
this dangerous plan is indicated by his
messages to the society.
The explorer in the message re-
ceived speaks Of the excellent results
which he obtained from his anthropo-
logical. geological and botanical oh
servations. M. Raunkiaer is now pro-
ceeding to Bombay, whence he will
sail for Copenhagen. where he is ex-
pected this month.

Georgia MooseS
Pleased With Letter
Don't Need To Fight Now"

Colonel Theodore Roosevelts letter
to Julian Harris, saying that the Pro-
gressive party in the South would be
essentially white mans party, is the
cause of much jubilatiOn in the ranks
OF the Georgia Roosevelt leaders. The
several prominent Bull Moses who
nave not yet departed for the Chi
cago convention stated today that it
would give the new movement a de-
cided impetus all over the South
1T is. of course, gratifying to all Of
us, said Dean K. Ryman, the chairman
of the Georgia Progressive committee
that Colonel Roosevelt should have
come out so boldly in this. because it
is along the exact lines that the party
has been organized in Georgia. Like
Mr.. Roosevelt, we feel that the negro
should receive absolute fairness in leg
islatiOn, but that the leaders should
and must be white men.
This fact will really mean that the
conscientious negro will get better
deal than before should the Progress
sive party come in power.
Colonel Roosevelt understands the
people of the South and he knows that
any party which smacks { the negro
as does the Republican party can not
succeed in the South"

slonal national committee of the Pro-

Kept Death Watch"
On Grace, But He Lives.

Most OF this time the wounded man
was lying In st. Sosophs, with physi-
clans at his bedside, reporters waiting
in the corridors. The surgeons had
given Grace but three days Of life;
there We're announcements every now
and then that the end was approach
ing, that he could hardly live an hour.
Then he was removed to his mothers
home at Newman, and the reporters fol-
lowed. They were keeping the death
watch" on Eugene Grace.
And still Eugene Grace lives. He
lived to face his wife in the court room,
as he swore he would But he failed to
make her waver under the hypnotism
of his eyes, and could only eXclaim
bitterly at the end;
It's all a damned lie
The pubic's curiosity Jagged at last,
for the wife had gone into seclusion
and the reporters, tired Of waiting for
the end, had abandoned their watch
at the bedside Of the husband. New
names, new faces. covered the front
pages Of the newspapers There were
weeks when the Grace case was not
given a mention Then the date Of
the trial was fixed for July % and
the announcement gave the sensational
case new life.
