Archaeological Excavations Uncover
Place Where Moses Received
Military Training
ARABIA GIVES UP SECRETS
Land Unknown to White Map
Makers Fully Covered by
flames Explorer

London, June S.-The arehaeo-
logical excavations under the direc-
ton of Daninos Pasha have now full
ly revealed the Metropolis of Hedio-
polls. which was the intellectual
center Of Egypt for over four thou
sand years, and the place where
Moses received the sacerdotal and
military training which nahlcd him
to lead the Israelites out of their
Egyptian bondage.
The Metropolis is situated in the
desert trihe more than three mics
eastward of the Matarish Obelisk.
The burial places cut from the rocks
of the Arabian range were from 90
to 22o feet deep. They were cover
ed with sand, the removal or which
revealed mummies of human bodies
and the skeletons of sacred animals
and birds. UndamaEed 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 cent. Of them
had escaped the rayages of the
treasure seekers,
A pillar has been found decorated
with the black bull Minevis and this
indicates what the excavators hope
will prove to be in the newly dis
covered Metropolis, a Mneyisseoum,
which is sure to contain objects and
documents of the greatest interest.
Daninos Pasha is now devoting all
If his energies to uncoVering this
uinevisseum.
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 excavators for the school
uncovered a gigantic sphinx, made
Of alabaster and weighing 80 tons.
This sphinx, which is in perfect
state Of preservation, was carved
and erected about 1900 B. c.
At Heliopolis the school excava-
tors uncovered an earthern fortress
with walls over one hundred feet
thick, enclosing a rounded square
quarter of a mile In diameter. 1t
is not Egyptian work and probably
dates back to the early barbaric in
YaslOn.

GUNGYWANP SYMPATHY.
(By Joe Gomez

(By Joe Gomez
Bill Beckett wanted sympathy,
E0nEed for it ev'ry day;
An 80 he tried to corral it
In his pecooliar way,
He'd set around in Stokes store
; G6mplainin' loud an long,
But no one seemed to listen to
The burden Nv his song.
He said he he'd the roomertix
So he could hardly walk;
He lowed he he'd paralersfs
80: he could hardly talk,
He said he he'd the ager so
He nearly shook apart;
An than he said the wust NV all
Had stpppage NV the heart.
An all the whole he talked quite well,
An walked to beat the band;
An Why he got no sympathy
He couldn't understand
ThA more he talked the more they
turned
The subject other ways;
An thet IL how Bill spent his nights,
An nearly all his days.
Bill Beckett finally ketched cold,
An he'd q fearful cough;
An Skurcely fore they realized
HIS coughin' took him off.
An all the while he talked quite well,
cOughed,
Each neighbor had his doubt;
Bill didn't git no sympathy;
Becu8 he'd worn it out!
