JOFFRE WE'LL UNDER STRAIN.
Northcliffe Says He Looks as Cheerful as a
Country Squire.

London, Thursday, March 23.-In the
Daily Mail this morning Lord Northcliffe i'll
an article on General Joffre, whom he visited
recently, says:
"Jofre has made many private enemies
aud thousands of public friends by the re-
morseless way in which he got rid of inefi-
cieut Generals. many of them personal &C.
quaintances, at the outset of the war, he has
continued that policy with the result that
to-day the officers of the French Army are
probably the youngest in the field. There
are many lookerson ut the present wal among
ourselves and our allies, who wish that this
process could be extended to our lines.
Il can truly say that General Joffre in the
heat of the battle of Verdun looks strong,
well, and cheerful. On one of my previous
visits | thought he was showing signs of war
fatigue. To-day, in the midst of the colossal
series of battles that has lasted for weeks,
the head of the wonderful French war ma
chine has the healthy look of a country
squire in those good old days two years ago,
when men rode to hounds q couple of days
n week."-I6iG.

night A great number of houses and
shops have been put up to accommodate the
overwhelming Russian business and to cater
for the multitude of sailors. A tramway is
being constructed along the main street,
and a complete electrical light and power
plant has been put up, furnishing power for
the street railway and lighting in the city"
But there is something more wonderful
even than the growth Of Archangel itself.
Koia, a town situated on a bay of the same
name 10 Northern Lapland, is being develop
ed in conjunction with Archangel. There,
owing to the warmth of the Gulf Stream.
the sea is never frozen, and a railway has
been rapidly constructed to make this port
available from January to May, when Arch

One of the most astonishing things that
has happened during the war has been the
development and growth of the port Of
Archangel, which lies only o hundred miles
from the Arctic Circle.
Before the war, the port had only three
piers, and it's trade consisted of occasional
exports of timber, fur. and fish, with a few
other products of Northern Russia. Now
there are 35 great piers for loading and un-
loading, and 1O3 huge war ehouses have been
built, and still the accommodation is made
quate. For weeks together arriving steam
ers shave to lie in the Dwina river, waiting
to unload. All the time the port and city are
being developed with amazing rapidity and
by the Spring it is expected that adequate
accommodation will be provided.
To-day Archangel is one of the most i'm
portant whea t-exporting ports of the world
and if it were not for the ice in
Winter it would be the finest port in the
world, for it has seventy miles of the river
frontage available for ships, Then there is
a magnificent system of inland waterways, 80
that goods can be shipped from Archangel to
nearly all the principal towns of Russia.
The Dwina river usually begins freezing
in October, but this year il was hoped to
keep the port open much later by huge ice
breakers.

EDINBURGH AND EGYPT.

1t is interesting to come upon signs stlH
existing of the connection there must
have been III ancient times between two
countries SO far apart and SO unlike each
other as Scotland and Egypt. AS an exam
pie of this let US take Dunsappie Hill, one of
the Arthur Seat group. The name of this hill
is rather peculiar. The first half of it-"Dun"
is a well-known word of Celtic origin,
meaning chill" But what are we to make
of the other part of the name? "Sappie" 8
not Celtic, neither is it Anglo-Saxon. In
fact "Sapl" was QUE of the gods, Or demons,
if you like, reverenced by the ancient Egyp-
tians. Therefore Dunsappie means the hill
sacred to the worship of Sapi. We find the
names of the gods of Egypt often combined.
SO Sapi was worshipped also as Osirsapi,
that is, united to the principal god Osiris.
In fact. the Egyptian gods seem to have
been regarded us merely different manlfes-
tations of one great being. Also, almost all
of their gods were somehow connected with
the sun.
A PLACE OF SACRIFICE.
II we ascend to the highest part of Dun
sappie Hill there may be noticed q very low
circular mound. The place of sacrifice
must have been in the centre of this mound.
The Egyptians did not form affairs of stone
Hs dQ the WorsnlppeTS OF Daal ana the
Druids; and so we find no trace of stones
III the centre of the mound. We can account
for the formation of the mound by the ashes
of the sacrifcial fire being scattered about.
A careful examination will show tina there
is "a sort of notch in the circumference of
the circle, not very distinct, but still no.
ticeable. This was probably the station Of
the priest. 1t is on the north side of the circle,
so that the priest faced the sun when at it's
height, and not at its rising in the east as
the Druids did, and as the worshippers of
Baal did. This fact, as also the absence of
any trace of an altar of stone, shows that
it was not Druidical worship which was cele-
brated on Dunsapple.
It cannot escape notice that there is a
great abundance of nettles on this hill. Now.
it has been found that the nettle seldom
grows far from human habitations. We can
explain the abundance of these plants by
there having been u great coucourse of peo-
pie at the time of the sacrifcial feasts, and
the refuse would be left on the ground. Net
ties are not found on the neighbouring ele-
~vations.
DupD1NasToN AND A CH1LDRENIs GAME.
Another name which must be taken along
with that of the hill is the name of the vii
, 1916-04-08

lage at the foot of it, viz, Duddlingston.
Tins name would be more correctly written
Duddoston, &C., Duddo's town. This name
can also be traced to Egypt, In a small
work written by an En9lsh clergyman on
the story of Joseph and his brethren in the
light OF modern Egyptology, Dnddo is men
toned as a great man living in Lower Egypt.
The god Sapi is also referred to in this
same book.
We find marks of Egyptian influence
also in a game played By Edinburgh chill
dren. It has been remarked that children
are great conservatives. Some of these
games played to-day really represent cere-
monies and practices observed IN the days
of paganism. The game of "hide-and-seek"
is we'll known by children all over the coun-
try. In Edinburgh, however, it receives
a singlar name-it is not called hide-and-
seek" but "Sudek." 1t must he admitted
that this name is not SO we'll known to-day
as it was half % century ago.
In playing the game, when all have hidden
themselves, one gives a call to the boy who
is to find out the hiding-places, to Indicate
that they are ready. This word "Sudek" is
called out. How can We explain the use of
such a word as this? It is probable that
"Sudek" is the word Sutek slightly altered.
Sutek was the Egyptian name for god or de-
mon. So that in the game, the boy who is
"out," as it is called, was regarded as IA
Sutek or demon.
How did this Egyptian influence arise?
Gerald Massey, in his book on Egyp'ian
etymologies, imagines that a colony OF Egyp-
tianR settled III Britain. But there is no
historical foundation for such an event. 1t
is to the Picts or Pechts that We must ascribe
this Egyptian connection. These people
came from the East, probably from Asia
Minor. We know that Egypt was powerful
over all that part, of the world at one time.
The image of Sesostris, q king of Egypt, is
found carved on the face of a rock not fur
from Smyrna. We can understand that it
was during the Egyptian dominion that the
Picts began their march westward, and so
carried with them the religion of Egypt.
The Picts did not come into Lothian till
after the battle of DWnnechtan, now Dun
nichen, when Egfrid, a Northumbrian king,
was defeated aud slain by Bridei. the Pict-
ish king. The date of this battle is $50
A. D. Therefore, it must have been sub
sequent to this time that the worship on
Dunsappie Hill commenced.
It may be remarked by the way that this
name Dun-nechtan is evidently connected
with Nektan, one of the names of the sacred
bull of Egypt. The first king of the PIcfs
on record was named Drustan or Nechtan,
it being q common thing for kings to he
named after their gods.-J. I. S,-Ihe Week
