thirteenth century. Fifty years ago
the tiles, which were made by proc

lost, began to disappear One by one
they passed out of the mosque at
irregular intervals. No one knew how
they vanished or who took them, and
when a guard was set to watch over
the sacred treasure by night he was
found in the morning strangled In
front OF the Mihrab.
Far away, in Teheran, an English
man, who was interested in Persian
pottery, received occasionally beauti-
full glazed tiles from mysterious ma
tive who could not or would not tell
him where they came from. He con-
tinued to buy these tiles for fifteen
years; one day he discovered that
some of them, when placed next to
one another, had readable Kufc and
Neshky inscriptions from the Koran.
He began a great game of iigsaw
with the tiles, and ultimately built up,
with but few tiles missing, the famous
lost Mihrab.
The collection. which belongs to
Mr.. John Richard Preece, the Eng
lishman in question, contains some

the divine and human figures are
splashed with blood.

The true story of the Sphinx, which
is very simple, remains therefore, un-
changed. The great limestone block
out of which the colossal figure is
hewn forms the eastern termination
of the limestone platform on which
the pyramids are built. No doubt in
the remote prehistoric times the pro-
jectlng rock had become weathered
into the rude outline of the human
head and face. There are many SINH
lar wind worn rocks to be seen on the
banks of the Nile and there is usually
a superstitious sanctity attributed to
them by Arabs, no doubt inherited
from the old Egyptians.
In early historic times certainly be-
fore the age of the pyramid builders,
some 1000 years before our era, the
figure was improved by human hands,
the headdress and beard being carved,
while in later ages the whole was
painted red, which gives it the APP

Thothmes w., of the eighteenth dy-
nasty, b. C. 1850. 1t was this mon
arch who built or restored the small
temple between the fore paws. In the
large tablet at the end of the temple
Thothmes tells an interesting story.
The king had been hunting in the dis
trict and, being tired at MONDAY. lay
down to rest beneath the shadow of
the Sphinx.
During his siesta, the god Ra Heru
Khuti (Harmachis), to whom the
Sphinx was sacred, appeared to him
in dream and ordered him to clear
away the sand which had then, as
now, been wind driven to such an ex-
tent as to bury the temple.
This task Thothmes accomplished,
but by the time of Rameses II. the
temple was again buried in the sand.
In recent years 1t was cleared by NJ.

Some weeks ago there was printed
all over the world an account of some
astonishing discoveries made In re-
gard to the famous Sphinx at Gizeh.
1t stated that DR.. Relssner, who has
for some years been working on be-
half of the University of Harvard, had
made some most astonishing dlscov-
eries in the interior of the great
statue of the Sphinx, which for cen
turtles has been the guardian Of the
royal metropolis at Gizeh.
Had 1t not been for the unjustifi-
able use of the name of DR.. Reissner,
who Is well known as an explorer and
one of the great authorities on the
prehistoric antiquities Of Egypt, the
account would have been treated with
the ridicule It deserved,
According to the account publish
ed extensively In England and Amer

large temple over 100 feet long with.

nected with this by tunnel, a second
small temple, some 60 feet long by IA
feet wide, in the head of the Sphinx.
The larger temple was described as
the tomb of Mena or Menes, the first
of the Pharaohs. and a drawing was
given of an ebony tablet inscribed in
archaic characters which was said to
have been found In the temple,
The announcement of this startling
discovery caused immediate inquiry.
The chief authorities at the Cairo
museum, Prof. Sir CASTOR Maspero
and Captain Weigali, the inspector of
antiquities for the Cairo district, both
denied the slightest basis for the re-
port No attempt to explore the in
terror of the Sphinx had been made,
nor would any such explorations be
allowed as the nature and character
of the monument are already well
known. Moreover Dr. Reissner has
not been working in the Cairo prov
ince this season, having been, as for
the last few years, in Nubia and the
Sudan. The absence of DR.. Reissner
from Cairo was no doubt the reason
for the selection of his name in con-
nection with the hoax.

vanced age OF ninety-five years. Mrs.
Moore had wide circle of friends in this
vicinity, and was aaectionately called
"Aunt Abbie" by many.
The tenacious vitality which carried her
along to such an advanced age. pertained
as well to her mental faculties. On Aug. 7
last 1t was the writer's privilege to be
one OF an automobile party to call on this
remarkable woman whose affections were
unchilled, and who had kept up her &C.
tivity OF mind and interest in affairs-an
unusual example.
In welcoming party of almost stran-
gers "her years gathered about her so grace
fully and rested upon her SO lightly" that
none thought of her as being SO old.
"And somewhere yet in the hill-tops
or the country that hath no pain,
She will watch in her beautiful doorway
To bid us welcome again"
