SKELETON s,s12 YEARS OLD

The mummy known as Ra-Nefer,

College Of Surgeons in London, has

Prof. Elliot Smith was the age of
Senefru, the beginning OF Egypt's

Some human remains. however. have
now been discovered at Sakkara, about

about 1000 years B. G.
Among them is the skeleton of a wo.
man about 35 years of age, which was
found completely invested in a large
series of bandages. and next to the
body was a corroded woven cloth.
The corrosion, says Prof. Smith, was
presumptive evidence that some ma.
terial, probably crue natron, was ap.
piled to the surface OF the body, with
view to its preservation, and he has
thus been able to trace to a higher
antiquity than had previously been
done, the use of this method for pre-.
serving the body of the dead.

wise physician. 5"I'll write you a pre-

office the patient opened the bit of pa.

bring it back to me in three weeks
with the indicator pointing to 100
miles" When the patient returned at
the time mentioned, the doctor with.
out making an examination, told him
he need not come back any more. His
looks demonstrated the efficiency of
the treatment. But he was counseled
to persevere in keeping the pedometer
busy and thereby save many a doctors

II" Type Submarines
Are All Wrecked in
HarbOr of Honolulu

A letter describing the raising of the
hull of United States submarine F-4,
which was lost near Honolulu last spring
with its crew of twenty men, has been
received at the local navy recruiting sta
ton by First Glass Boatswain's Mate
Richard A. Dixon. 1t was written by one
of Dixon's former shipmates, who helped
raise the wreck with pontoons and chains.
He wrote In part as follows:
I'VE at last have the F-4 in dry dock,
and most sorry sight It is There is
a hole in its bow, topside, abaft of the
torpedo hatch large enough to admit a
Ford. The plates are driven back about
fifteen feet. Everybody is of the opinion
the crew died quick.
Everything was smashed, especially
the battery. The plates were smashed
into small parts and cut everything in
its path. Most of the bodies were found
in the engine room compartment.
ITO top off everything, the Supply came
in last week, on its way to the United
States. 1t got near the dock and its
engine went on the blink and its bow hit
the F-2; cutting through the hull right
forward of the propellers. The force Of
the blow drove the FPS nose under the
F-S, the F-3 under the FL and the FL
under lighter, which they were moored
to. 1t sure is some outfit. There is not
one that is fit to dive with safety"
