BURIED EGYPTIAN CITY
FOUND IN NILE VALLEY

LONDON. June q. Recent
exploration in the Nile Valley
has resulted in discovery Of a
buried Egyptian city as we'll pre-
served as Pompeii, according to
the Rev. Professor A. H. Sayce,
the famous Psychologist in on
address at the Royal Society.
The discovery was made by
Professor Garstang, investigat-
ing at Meroe. Walls fifteen feet
thick surrounded a royal city con-
tanning two palaces, public baths,
gymnasium, streets and private
dwellings. Trees set in pits
lined with brick bordered the
streets, and walls, quays and
landing stages were built along
the riverside. This city was the
center of the iron industry of the
time, and the Stag from the
smelling furnace show that
enough metal was worked there
to supply the whole of northern
Africa.
An observatory at the bottom
of an underground bathing estab-
ishment, found by Profess
or Garstang is as interest to mod
ern science, as its walls were
covered with astronomical calcu-
lations. Eek.

THE DRY PERI
Cd BEGINS

July lst ushered in a new
era in West Virginia. The
state is dry and the traffic in
intoxicant liquors for beyer-
age purposes is ended so far
as the state law is concerned.
The work of enforcement has
just begun, and from all indi-
cations it is safe to say that
the Temperance forces have
the matter we'll in hand and
will enforce the law generally
throughout the state. West
irginia has joined the other
progressive states of the I'm
ion, and will in time to come,
be called zone of the pioneer
states for prohibition"
The change from wet to
dry was quiet in many towns
and cities Of the state. The
"wets'' took their defeat calm
~, because $4,000 majority
means something.

ever. held man to a perpetual hustling in
order to keep himself from being murder
ed by any or all the known means OF
taking one off and out from a trouble
some world, this is the very pair. Here
the strenuous adventure hinges upon
familiar device of the fiction maker-the
'like-as-two-peas' resemblance Of John
Burton to Stuart Northcote. Burton is
temporarily, a down-and-outer, come to
London from several years in South
America. Northcote is a rich and pronii-
nent Englishman, with a shady past, this
also in South America. The vendetta, or
malta, or vigilantes. or whatever the
banded cutthroats of that region are
called, are inescapably after Northcote
for some villainy in connection with a
South American revolution. As an expe-
dent for the possible evasion OF this
fateful band Northcote buys the identity
of John Burton for three weeks at the
rate of $4,000. Upon this groundwork
and against a background of London life
the author invents an every-page ad-
venture, each compact budget of excite
ment and suspense. Around this main
action of sustained and assiduous at
temps at plain murder Mr.. Bridges builds
many clever let-downs into the less tense
regions Of everyday English life. Here,

the lesser sort Of stories for young folks.
It appears a good deal like taking red
apple from the baby to set this young
thing up as an object of the rivalry by
which this romance advances. And the
rivalry itself, moreover, is a .pitifuliy I'M
equal, one-sided affair. What headway
can a chastely unreal young English Gu
rate hope to make against the certain
lure of a sophisticated Russian noble
man-that past master in the arts OF love
whom this writer finds SO much to her
literary liking. One, reading. merely
wanders around In the midst OF exotic
scenery and episodes until the overevi-
dent climax comes into view. backing
away in apology, now and then, from
some strict privacy that appears to have
emerged into the open by mistake.
Madam Elinor Glyn has the opulent i'm
agination of Ouida, with nothing OF
Ouidas wealth OF words and frankly IN
believable romanticism. With the inven-
tive faculty at home only in those eN-
cesses and discrepancies that produce
melodrama and the wonder-tale, this au'
thor grayely elects herself as the scribe
of a believable realism, much like child
soberly offering over the counter as cur.
rent coin tin tag picked up from the
curb.
