AMERICA WILL HAVE
EGYPTIAN ART RELIC

London. Nov. 9.-The United States
will probably possess the oldest paint
ing on canvas in the world in short
time.
The picture, which was discovered
by Robert de Rustafjaell of Luxor.
Egypt. is about $500 years old and it
Is executed in wonderfully bright col
ors on we'll preserved cloth. 1t belongs
to the period when art in Egypt had
reached it's zenith and the figures in
1t are not nearly 30 stiff as the usual
rock paintings ornamenting the in
terror OF Egyptian tombs.
Rustafjaelr is associated with an
English company engaged In agricul-
ture in Upper Egypt and all of his
spare time is devoted to archaeology
Besides the painting. he has uncovered
some valuable papyri and the largest
collection ever made Of Egyptian flint
instruments.
2 Eefcre he left Luxor with the paint
finder a large sum for the work. but al
t!.at time he was determined to keeI
it for his own collection and refused
to part with 1t. Since his return, how
ever, the offers have been raised t.
such figure that he has consented t.
negotiate for its sale. Rustafjaell de-
clares that the most tempting offer
have been made by the London agent.
Of American collectors, and he feel
sure that the rainting win be sen

According 20 this statement, the gov

sources Of income showed an increase
Of $14,200,00 over the year previous. OF
this increase 81, 100000 came from taxes
on business and industrial establish
ments, showing that many new business
concerns were launched.
According to the statement there was
absolutely no diminution in public work
Instead, It Is asserted, greater appropri-
atoms than ever before were made and
expended. Thus there was an increase
OF $50, 100000 in the construction of
governmental buildings and public
works in the various cities Of Italy: an
other increase Of $4,000, 900 by the de-

ltaly's War With Turkey Brought
Great Prosperity to the Country

the war showed an increase Of $4,400,-
900 over the corresponding period of
the year previous. The increase in ex-
ports for the same time was $20.600,-
900. Italy's government railways also
turned in an extra profit of $3.50. 900
and the metal reserve in the treasury
increased $13.2O0,000 during the war
year.
AS a final argument that the pros
perity of the country was general
throughout the year, figures are cited
from the deposits Of the postal savings
banks. the great bulk Of which come
from the poorer classes. During the
period from the inauguration Of the
banks up to 1904. the deposits reached
$500, 000, 900. From 1905 to 1909 anoth-
er $120.0O0,000 was put away. From
1910 to. the close Of 1911. which en-
braces only three months Of the war
period. there was still another increase
Of 100000.

Paris, Nov. Gossip here Is very
busy over the cause OF the brief hon.
eymoon of Prince George Of Bavaria
and the Archduchess Isabelle, Of
Austria. And while a mystery. deep
and black, hung over the cause for the
separation less than a year after the
marriage, there are those who say the
rich Austrian princess could not stand
the poverty and "queerness" of the
family into which she married.
Prince George and the young Arch
duchess were united last February.
The honeymoon was stormy, 1t Is said,
and separation quickly followed. The
princess father, the Archduke Fred
erick of Austria, is said to have taken
immediate steps to have the marriage
proclaimed void. Europe is still asking
upon what grounds.
1t is a matter of history that King
Othon Cor Otto) Of Bavaria Is mad. A

children and many. many grand chill

NIGHT FIGHTING

Aeroplane Scouting Makes
Movement Of Troops in

Berlin Correspondent Of the United

Berlin, Nov. 9.-Night will no longer
be period of rest for soldiers on the
battlefield in time of war. While the
battles OF the future as in the past, will
be fought by sufficient light for the
man with the rifle to see the enemy,
the maneuvering and marching on the
eve of battle and during battles that
extend over several days, will be al
most entirely under cover Of darkness
This extension Of the fighting day"
from IL to 16 hours to "a, has been
brought about by the scouting OF the
aerial cavalry" as was demonstrated
by the work of this new military arm
during the last big German maneuvers.
So effective was the scouting of the
aeroplanes and airships assigned to
the two armies that the COM
manders were compelled to resort to an
unprecedented amount of night work
to screen their movements.
The field Of operations covered a tri-
angular area of about 100 by 120 miles.
between Dresden and Leipzig. When
the two armies began moving toward
each other through miles of valleys,
wooded hills and over rivers, the COM
flanders quickly realized that the
aeroplanes covering as much ground
in an hour as a mounted cavalry scout
could in an entire day, made it impos-
sible to keep the movements conceal

to night work. The Blue army
marched all night covering 81 miles
and the aerial scouts discovered al

Most Of the royalties are fairly well

them an esprit de corps that would do

At first, 1t appeared that the kings

the last thing they wanted personally
was war Threatened with serious in
ternal disturbances, Peter of Servia,
Ferdinand of Bulgaria. and George of
Greece sought to invigorate the loyalty
of their subjects by stirring up popu-
lar feeling against the Turks. Fresh
"massacres" came along conveniently
to their plans. The people were fed
with highly colored accounts of these
incidents. and their attention was
turned for the moment from any Turk

have imperiled the occupants Of the
thrones. But the trouble was. 1t was

II there was any doubt in Germany
as to the superior ability Of the men

maneuvers were brought to prema-

fusion in which friend and enemy were
so mixed-up that the commanders

which the zones are drawn. The
rates Of postage are fixed from the
unit in which the sending postofice is
situated, but the price to every place
in any zone Is just the same. To IL
lustrate, 1t will cost exactly the same
amount to send a parcel from Wash
ington to Erie, Pa, that it costs to
send 1t to Atlanta, Ca, because Erie
and Atlanta with reference to Wash
ington are situated in the fourth
zone. The rates therefore are fixed
from the unit in which the p~ostofice
is located, but they are the same
from that office to any point in any
zone.
1t will be seen by reference to the
table Of rates Of postage that 1t will
cost more per pound to send a pack
age a long distance than 1t does to
send 1t a short distance. The rate in
for a package Weighing one
pound at the rate Of one cent for
each zone. No package weighing
more than II pounds a be sent un-
der the new parcel post law. 1t
should be said right here that on the
long hauls the parcel post may not
be able to compete with the express
companies, but that On shorter hauls
it can so compete. 1t was the ex-
pressed desire Of the legislators and
of the ~postoffice officials that the par
Gel post system should be made Of
particular use to persons having farm
and factory products to transmit to
customers. 1t is probable that pro-
ducers must study the rates of post
age and the convenience of trans
initial and compare them with the
cost and convenience under present
methods before individually a mar can
determine whether he is to profit or
not by the change. Then there is an
other thing to be considered and
which only can be known definitely
when fuller regulations have been
made to specify exactly what kind of
things can be sent by parcel post. 1t
can be said in a general way that any
wrapped and which will not injure
other mail matter with which it may
come In contact.
Copy Foreign Countries.
It Is probable that the government
will adopt a means Of transportation
for certain kinds of its merchandise
much like those which have been
adopted in parcel post countries
abroad. What the English call ham.
pers, basket-like arrangements. prob
ably will be adopted. and as these can
be kept separate from the ordinary
mail matter it is believed that the
regulations as finally adopted will al
low the sending Of eggs. butter, dress
ed poultry. live poultry, honey. fruit
| and other products Of the country.

| for some Of the articles which have
