SKELETON 5,912 YEARS OLD
Woman's Remains Found Near Cairo,
Egypt, Was Wrapped In
Bandages.

Lcndon-The mummy known as
Ra-Nefer, which is in the museum of
the Royal College Of Surgeons, has
been described as the oldest mummy
known. The date assigned to 1t by
Prof. Elliot Smith was the age of
Senefru, the beginning of Egypt's
Fourth Dynasty. about 300 years
b. G.
Some human remains, however.
have now been discovered at Sakkara,
about fifteen miles from Cairo, be-
longing to the period of the end OF
the second and the beginning of the
third dynasties. about 1000 years
3. G..
Among them is the skeleton of a
woman about thirty-flve years of age,
which was found completely invested
in a large series of bandages, and next
to the body was a corroded woven
cloth.
The corrosion, says Professor Smith,
was presumptive evidence that some
material, probably crude natron, was
applied to the surface of the body,
with a view to its preservation, and
he has thus been able to trace to a
higher antiquity than had previously
been done, the use of this method
for preserving the body of the dead.

he was equally great as philosopher,
thus uniting in himself rare degree
of excellence in both those pursuits,
to excel in either # which is deemed
the highest praise. Nor was his pre-

Condemning Their Product
Degrees of Decomposition.

Westinghouse a decomposed egg
within the meaning of the pure food
and drugs act of 1906, the same thing
as rotten eggs" under the common
law?
Upon the early decision of that
question by the supreme court of the
United States is said to hang one of
the most far-reaching disputes in re-
gard to the federal pure food law
since its enactment
Egg men are attacking the depart
ment Of agriculture as seeking to en-.
force the law, according to arbitrary
and unreasonable standards, while Of
ficials of the department are defending
their course as involving the most
valuable features of the legislation
against improper food
The controversy arose over the SELF
ure in Jersey City, N. j., of 443 cans
of frozen egg product packed In To-
peka, Kan, by the Seymour Packing
Company upon the order Of the H. J.
Keith company. The pure food law
provided that an article should be
deemed adulterated when "decom
posed"
In the trial that followed the gov
eminent called DR.. George w. Stiles,
Jr., and a number of other govern
ment chemist, who testified that the
correct method of telling whether an
egg was decomposed was to count the
bacteria in the egg substance.
The Keith company contended con
gress had not defined what it meant
by "decomposed," and so the courts
as the supreme court did in finding a
meaning fer restraint of trade" in the
Standard oil care, must go back to
the comcaNIn law for definition.
Under the common law. 1t con
@tinued, a decomposeG egg was a rot
