noon the lookout cried to those on

rab, or praying niche, that was made

the tiles, which were made by proc
ess Of which the secret has long been
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 a 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 Kufic and
Neshky inscriptions from the Koran.
He began a great game Of jigsaw
with the tiles, and ultimately built up.

lost Mihrab

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-
jecting 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
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 ap-
pearance Of sandstone
Portions Of the serpent which
adorned the forehead of the Sphinx
and OF the beard are to be seen in
the British museum. The nature of
the stone and painting are clearly to
be seen.
The Sphinx of Gizeh figures little in
Egyptian literature, the chief refer
ence to it being in the time of
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 M.
Mariette but is now nearly buried by
the desert dust again
