UNCOVER OLD
 EGYPTIAN RUINS
Explorers Have Found Place Where Moses Received His Military
 Training
OLD SPHINX FOUND

.ONDCN, Jun --'rha arcnaeoIJ2- teal excavations under the direction Of Damincs Fasha have now fully Ie- vealeI the Metropolis of Heliopoli., which was the intellectual center Of Egypt for over four thousand years, and the pace where Moses received the .acerdots4 and military training which enabled him To lead the Israeli ties out O. their Egyptian bondage.
 The Metropolis is situated in the desert a trifle more than three miles eastward Of the AIatarish Obelisk, The burial places cut from the rocks Of the Arabian range wore from 65 10 2a0 feet deep. They were covered with sand, the removal or which re vealed mummies of human bodies and the skeletons Of sacred animals and birds. Undamaged Ibis eggs were al- so found. Unfortunately these tombS had been ransGcked years ago by Ho- mans and Arabs hunting fog treasure and only about five or six per cent of them had escaped the rayaGes os the treasure seekers.
 ! pillar has been found decorated with the bl8ck bull ATneNis. and this indicates what the excavators hope will prove to be in the newly discover ed Metropolis, q Mneyisseum, which Is sure to contain objects and docu- ments Of the greatest interest. Dan inos Pasha is now devoting all of his energies to uncoycrinG this lIneviss- cum.
 The British school Of Archaeology has also been making some interest ing discoveries IS the result oI their excavations in the desert. At Mem phis the eXcavators for the school un- covered a gigantic sphinx, made Of ala baster and weighing SO tons. This sphinx, which is in 9, perfect state of preservation was carved Ipd erected about 1900 B. c.
 At Heliopolis the school exc l.;.tors uncovered an earthen fortress with walls over one hundred feet thick, en- closing q rounded square a quarter of 6 mile in diameter. It is not E9yL- tian work and probably dates back 10 the early barb2ric invasion.
 Dane Expiores Arabia
 Central Arabia, which has been as unknown to the white map maker as the polar regions, has given Up it's secrets to Nj. Barclay Raunkiaer, who has reported to the Royal Danish Geo graphical society that he arrived at lluscat in Oman on May after s perilOus trip through the interior Arabian deserts.
 Only me2sre details O. the trip have Eeen received by the society, but these give the members reason for believing b3t the exploring exEedi- rion has been highly successful.
 The explorer left Copenhagen last November. but his real explorations did not begin until he reached Basrs from Bagdad in January Of this year. Through the assistance of the Vail Of B+sra he was able to continue his journey to Koweit, where be was the guest of the regent Sheik 4loba.ek. At this place he made his final plans for his dash across the unknown desert via the cases Of Bereida and Riad in the heart of central AraDiI. inhabited by the Wahabis, and thence eastward through the oasis os MOtuf to the coast. That he succeeded iI. this dangerous plan is indicated by his messages to the society.
 The explorer in the message re- ceiyed speaks of the excellent results Nhich he obsained from his Gnthropo- logical, geological and botanical ob- servations. N. Raunkiaer is now p-O- ceeding to Bombay, whence he will sail Tor Copenhagen, where he is eN- pected this month.
