Cairo. Egypt. - Another sphinx.
weighing ninety tons. and carved from
4 single block of alabaster, has been
unearthed at point between the
world-famed Colossi, on the water
logged plains of Memphis, in Egypt.
For hundreds Of years it has lain in a
recumbent position buried beneath the
sands on the road to Sakkareh. To-
day 1t is half-exposed to view, and
next year 1t Is to be raised to vcrti-
cal position above the water-l.ne.
This newly found sphinx was betray-
ed in its hiding place by its tail, which
Mr.. Mackay, one of the students of the
British School in Egypt, discovered
about a year ago. This year, when
the water on the plain subsidized, the
complete figure was excavated, and
was found to measure some fourteen
feet in height and twenty-six feet in
length. Alabaster being rock foreign
