MUMMIEs IN SLOW DECAY
Most Interesting Of All Rhetorical
Relics Not Being Given the
Care Deserved.

would like to bring to the notice
OF those American travellers who may
be Interested in the preservation Of
the mummies Of the Egyptian Pha-
raohs the following facts: TO prevent
their entire destruction in few years
from the conditions under which they
are now kept, Mr.. Maspero, the emf
nent Egyptologist now in charge Of
the Cairo National museum. told me 1t
would take 10000 francs ($30,000)
to have them properly protected in air
tight glass and shown under proper
light.
The funds Of the museum are
strained to the utmost in conducting
the collection and preservation of the
vast fields of antiquities being ex-
plored, and have not been able to
properly protect these wonderful rel
les Of 5000 and more years of hui
manity.
Nothing in the line OF such interest
can ever be hoped to be found again,
and they should be protected at once
and made as lasting as possible for
the interest of succeeding generations.
In particular the mummy Of Sete |,
the father Of the great Rameses II,
who was buried 3,206 years ago, and
whose appearance is as il he had but
| just closed his eyes, should be pro-
tected from decay. The mummy OF
his long-lived son, Rameses, who died
at not less than ninety years Of age
| (Mr. Maspero thinks nearer ninety
! SKI, after a reign of 6T years, is in
excellent preservation, and, considers
| ing his advanced age at the time OF
his death, is no less realistic than
his father, Sete |.
These actual bodies, Of these great
est men of their day, bring to our
eyes and our realization what they
actually looked like. and they are 50
interesting that they should be per.
petuated. The fungus, which comes in
little patches on their bodies, and
the almost impossible avoidance OF
beetles and the effect Of light will
soon, in thirty to fifty years, make
them no longer interesting.
II general subscription could be
taken up and the funds sent to the
director of the Cairo museum this can
be averted. To anyone who has felt
the wonderful interest developed in a
visit to Egypt, feel sure this appeal
will meet with approval, and If each
one would send a check of even 81
to the order of the director of the Ma
tional museum in Cairo, specifying
that it is toward fund for preser
walton of the royal mummies, think
the sum would be realized.-Samue

Eiene as we were taking off our
