whom a contract had been made to
give an aerial exhibition In this city
on July 4, had substituted r. c. Bark
land for the flight, and that the flight
was not made in accordance with the
terms OF the contract, officers of the
Ad Club refused Saturday to pay
Borkland the full amount specified IN
the contract for the exhibition.
President W. c. McCarten and Sec
rotary c. H kemler. Of the club, said
this morning they did not know OF the
substitution until Saturday. believing
Diggins to be in the machine when the
flight was made Friday. Borkland,
the substitute. had made himself
known, however. TO Ed c. Ausan, vita
whom the contract for the flight was
made
The Al Club officials claim the con-
tract called for the appearance Of
Lieutenant Dtggins, that Diggtns had
been advertised by the club TO appear,
and that the flight was TO have been
made in an American army plane
which would permit OF aerial stunts
not possible in the Canadian training
machine used by BOrkland. They
claim that while Borkland was flying
here, Diggins was filling an engage
ment at Rolette. y. D.

troversy the club offered Borkland
$500 in settlement, but this the avia-
tor refused. On request of the club

In Cleopatra's Time

They found it, the Coxe expedition, beneath the ruins of five towns On the surface were the stumps of a large Roman city, which the natives had carried off piecemeal for grindstones and shelters till hardly a trace re- mained. Below the Roman town lay the fragments of another, built in tho days of the Ptolemy rulers-to whom Cleopatra belonged. Beneath the Ptolemaic town had been one built (as an inscription testified in 500 E. C., in the reign of tho last Pharaoh before the Persian invasion. Below this again was q yet earlier town, built in tho days after Mcrcnptah's death. And beneath that was ancient Memphis and the palace of Mcrcnptah.
 A fire had gutted the building not many years after Merenptah's death. All tho gorgeous furniture it must once have contained was destroyed. But because the palace lay buried eight cen feet below the ground level, and because during much of the year the Nile covered it, no natives had found and robbed the gold inlaid panels and pillars. In spite of the fire, the four towns above 1t, and the lapse of 5000 years, the palace is in q remarkably good state of preserva- tion. It happens to be one of the few palaces-not temples-found in such a state that it's parts could be recog- nized. And 1t is one of the few build ings intimately connected with an ancient religion which remains in the spot where 1t was built.
 Only three bits of furnishings es- capped the confiagration. They were two broken alabaster pitchers and an ink pot. The ink pot was decorated in the green-blue glazed pattern called faience. It bore the name of local official.

anger Pharaoh cried out at them that they were keeping the bondmen from work; that they had not enough to do and so idled away their time in thinking up these fantasies. For they be idle, therefore they cry, say ing: Let us go and sacrifice to our God Let there be work laid upon the men that they may labor therein; and let them not regard vain words"
 So from his golden throne Pharaoh dealt out a bitter punishment. He commanded that straw should no longer be brought to the Israelite brickmakers, but that they should be compelled to seek their own straw and vet furnish as many bricks each day as they had manufactured in a day heretofore. With these stern and conr

MerCnptahs name might be eternal.
 With deep fervor they besought God that their hands might not tremble nor their tongues fail. It took tremendous courage to ask audience of king.
 Another great door stood directly op- posite the one they had entered from the courtyard. and copied it in design, its panels heavily inlaid with pure gold. Two other doors, one on each side of the great middle portal, were shimmering with faience praises of the king.
 Suddenly the middle door swung on its bronze sockets. The patriarcns heard a noise of trumpets and looked into an apartment forty-one feet wide and sixty feet long, an apartment filled with columns bathed in a dim, mysterious light-columns gleaming with yellow and red and gold and forming broad path to the majesty of the throne itself. There were three

The dread Pharaoh bowed his head. And the two patriarchs-Moses, eighty years old; Aaron eighty-three-their white boards a badge of wisdom. their dark. suffering eyes undaZzled by the state of their oppressor-Moses and Aaron said, with complete simplicity. Thus saith the Lord God of Israel: Let My people go that they may hold a feast unto Me in the wilderness"
 And Pharaoh said, Who is the Lord that I should obey His voice. to let Israel go?"
 1t is all written down in the first few chapters of Exodus. One can see Pharaoh stirring magniflcently on his throne as he continued: "I know not the Lord, neither will I let Israel go." What indeed, had he to do witl> the Lord of these foreign bondmen? He, in his golden palace, where the Nile gods brought him offerings!
 The patriarchs persisted. And in

There is a mass of con fusing evidence one way and another, which is the delight of the sk"plicS' One plausible theory, however, ao- vanced by careful scholars, is that the Israelites who joined the LlbyanS Tn this attack were not those who had been held in bondage, but anothet branch who lived round Palestine.

of the deed. Moses fled to the land of Midian. Not till long afterward not till Pharaoh died" and the burning bush had famed but not been con- sumed and Moses had heard the call to free his countrymen from bondage, did the boy whom Pharaoh's daughter rescued return to the Nile.
 When he returned, with tho com- mand of God in his heart and Aaron as his spokesman, he gathered the elders of the Israelites together and went to that same palace which the Coxe expedition has just uncovered. Merenptah was king now, the thir- teenth son in the huge family of Rameses IT. History, deciphered from the monuments he left, tells us this much. It tells us also that he was an old man when he succeeded to the crown in 1925 B. c. and that he reigned ten years.
 Under his father, the prince had fought with valor in many a cam paign. The training stood him in good stead for even when he had reached the age of seventy he was forced to don armor again against the migratory tribes perpetually threatening the borders of his empire. It was one of the most desperate moments in Egyp- tlan history. The Libyans had invaded the eastern part of the Delta and ad- vanced near to Memphis. Though anxious to lead his army, Merenptah felt the burden of his years. Forum atcly, the god Ptah appeared to him in a dream and bade the king remain within the city walls while his gen. erals went forth to battle. The aged Pharaoh obeyed. His warriors killed 5000 of the enemy in @ terrific battle and Egypt rang with hymns of vic tory.
 The campaign against the Libyans and their allies is notable for some- thirg else besides the triumph of Egypt over her traditional enemies. For the first time the name of Israel" appears or an Egyptian monument The Book of Exodus gives the Hebrew version of events through many years. But though scholars have searched Egypt far and wide, the first mention of Israel" is during the reign of Mcrenptah-and he lists Israel with other defeated nations on a monument erected by himself to commemorate e the conquest of the L;byans.
 This fact would indicate that the Israelites were an independent tribe, who joined the L1byans In the raid

A row of huge petals at the lower part of the column sprang from a wide band of gold, the petals dyed gold and blue, with the gold leaf laid over deep red that added an indescrib- able depth and richness. Between the tips of the petals bloomed large open lotus flowers of faience, and the band of relief on the shaft had figures of the king in gold on blue ground.

hide her little son for three months of terror and then-w the boldncss of fear-to float him in a basket among the reeds on the river edge, where Pharaoh's daughter went to bathe.
 Gentler than her king-father, the young girl had pity on the child adopted it and named it Moses. It is not hard to picture the little princess such a human girl, in spite of the gold circlet and the crouching slaves standing delighted and amazed when the basket was laid at her feet. This is one of the babes of the Hebrews" she said and had not half the cruelty needful to order it's instant execution.
 After his adoption as the son of the princess, when he had grown to young manhood Moses went out to his brethren and saw their af1liction," and an Egyptian striking one of the Hebrews, his brethren. It must have been savage beating, for when Moses had looked about this way and that way and saw no one there, he slew the Egyptian and hid him in the sand"
 But in some manner Pharaoh heard
