Worcester, Oct. 14.-Holy Cross
football team scored 14-0 win over
Nillanova today, lut the visitors
made the Worcester boys extend
themselves to the limit to get their
two touchdoWns. Weakness in the
line was apparent in Holy Cross play,
and the penalties imposed on Holy
Cross for infractions of. the rules
were the best ground gamers for
NillanOya, the visitors gaining al
most so yards in this manner.
In the first half, although Holy
Cross scored a touchdown, it did not
make first down once, while Villa
nova pushed Holy Cross back for
two.
Holy Cross score came in tic
second period when Young pulled a
forward pass out of the air and ran
40 yards for a touchdown. The third
period was a standoff in q kicking
game, and when Nillanova got with
in 80 yards of Holy Cross goal
through two successive penalties of
20 yards, Simendinger and Riopel
were put in to save the day. They
helped to stem the tide, and when

may almost authenticity turn to the an
Gent description Of the daily life Of the
great Priestess Ten-zu, and reading that
be almost sure that we are reading the
life of the white faced mummy whose re-
mains may be touched by the visitor to the
museum in Philadelphia.
At the time Of this Ten.Zu religion was
the principal factor in the life OF the
Egyptians. Hence, the rank and high
honor in which woman who served a god
was held. The power of the great Anon,
the-deity who reigned throughout Upper
Egypt, is almost inconceivable now. In
Vulnerable temples Of gorgeous opulence
were built throughout the entire land, but
the most famous of them all which re.
vealed his influence was the temple at
Thebes.
In this wonderful palace Of religion there
lived the priests and priestesses who were
the favored servants Of the god. The pal
ace itself represented the highest tributes
of beauty and eXtravagant adornment
which the land could afford. Marvellous
pillars OF black granite, carved with
strange figures, upheld the central gate
way, and the finest collection Of jewels in
the country, not excepting those owned by
the King. were owned by the temple.

The wealth of ancient Khemi was coh-
troled by these servants of Anon, anu
treasures of priceless value we're secfeteo
away in hidden chambers beneath the ho-
sale floors Of the temple halls.
The priestess ruled on an equal oasis
with that of the high priest. Her life In
the famous Temple of Thebes made more
luxurious by the fact that for centuries
past Thebes had been the dwelling place
of the reigning sovereigns, forms part OF
the mysterious lore of Egypt which has
made it the source of continual speculation
by scientists, poets and the dreamers OF the
world What this woman whose mummy
now confronts the gaze of thousands oil
curious spectators really did during the
course of her daily life; how she lived, and
in what manner she amused herself and
ruled in the temple is narrative of great
interest to the world.
We know that she was dedicated at birth
by her family to serve the great Anon
Perhaps she was the daughter of one OF
the high priests, or even the daughter Of
the ruling emperor. She was vowed to
chastity and welded to the god In order
that he might not suffer from dullness, and
also because he might be softened and dis

ance of beautiful young girls.
Her body was considered sacred and
none but the god might touch her, and all
day she served him by prayer and song and
dance.
Ten-zu, according to the ancient papyri,
Horus, was one Of grave Importance.
The new risen sun had scarcely touched
the huge black granite columns as she
crossed the court yard leading to the gate
way, all sculptured and carved with won
derful writings and figures. No sound
could be heard save the whisper of san
dalled feet as the priests and priestesses
streamed across the yard.
Ten-zu each day joined a group of young
girls all clad, like herself, in cream
white robe. They stood behind purple
curtain, and Suddenly she began to sing
the morning hymn to the sun god. The
.efrain was taken up in soft tones, accom-.
panied by music.
While the others chanted the refrain Of
the hymn Ten-zu played on a sistrum
which she carried at her side. Her skill
ON this instrument and the quality Of. her
voice were two important factors in the
rank which she held. ..-.
She stood apart from the Others and
none could speak to her during the cere-
mony. Her robe, made Of the finest quality
of cloth, was held in place by narrow
girdle, and her hair, unlike the long plaits
of the others, was cluster of tiny curls
bound close to her head by silver band.
The most striking observance by the dis
ccverers of the body of the priestess was
the complete preservation Of the hair. Not
even the passing Of centuries removed any
of the curl, and the little ringlets cling
lust as tightly to the head of the mummy
If, indeed, it really is Ten-zu, and with
the same vital beauty as it did when the
high priestess sang her praises to Anon
in the temple at Thebes.

ohe relgned supreme as the favorite OF
anon, and her good will was sought by the
ieading members of the court as well as
by the high priests Of the temple. Since
religion and statecraft were so closely in.
tcrwoven, she held position almost exact
IN its similarity to that of Du Barry at the
Court OF France. The high priestess OF
the god while sacred and not to be touched
by mortal beings, was naturally the favor
lite OF the Emperor, and her power was as
great as that of the French woman's. Her
decision In matters Of state, even In war
and political controversies, was considered
with almost the same Difference as that
accorded to Ptolemy, and her life was one
of intrigue and danger.
Despite the high rank she held, perhaps
because of it, Ten-zu was not allowed to
go outside Of the temple gates, and, while
she reigned supreme in her palace and her
power was admitted outside the temple
walls, she was virtually prisoner, and IL
was only during the rites of service that
she could either see or be seen by men and
women of the outside world.
Arch@ologists have not as yet translated
all the symbols that literally covered the
cloth Of gold shroud over the white faced
mummy. Those identified, however, ara Of
great value as showing the esteem in which
this woman was held.
The other objects found with the body
also have their significance. There were
four ibises, the sacred bird OF the Egyp-
tians, and one hawk, each in its own sepa-
rate case. One Of the ibis cases has been
opened and the body of the bird has been
found to be thoroughly petrifed, with the
feathers still in almost perfect condition.
Large numbers of the ibis were kept in
captivity in the Egyptian temples and they
were considered necessary to the numerous
religiousi services. 1t was probably part of
thesduties of the priestess to superintend
the care Of these birds, although OF course
there were innumerable slaves to do the
actual work.
1t is profoundly hoped, since the amazing
resemblance of the mummy's face to that

mummy may positively be identified as that
OF Ten-zu herself from the symbols on the

Tile. TEN.zU has just arrived Il

A ELLE. TEN-ZU has just arrived in
M America. Few people of to-day
know Mile. Ten-zu or know that
almost three thousand years ago she was
one of the most famous of beautiful young
women. lovely in charm and character as
naughty as the proudest debutante may be.
and yet gracious and generous, The fame
of her beauty had reached from her native
city, and from many miles in all directions
there came each day new admirers to kneel
at her bare feet and press their lips upon
her slender fingers in token of their admi-
ration.
The coming of Mile. Ten.zu to Philadel-
phia is an event of great Importance. She
has been received there by committee
made up of men Of international promi-
nence grave, scientific men, scholarly and
dignifed, who hardly would be thought to
concern themselves with such tri1ing af-
fairs as the giving Of welcome to visi.
tor whose chief claim to fame was her
beauty and charming disposition. But
thClC are many LuluBo dbuub MltG. I6u-Zu
which make her an extraordinary visitor.
First there is the fact, outstanding of
course, that she was born almost thirty
centuries ago. And then she was priest
ess-not perhaps high priestess, but
beautiful priestess, still-of the famous
Temple of Anon at Thebes And with her
coming two separate matters of great i'm.
portance are revealed.
One of these is the new light upon the
status Of women in ancient Egypt. The
other is the actual progress of young
ladys romance three thousand years ago.
This Mile. Ten-zu comes to America in
the shape Of mummy. She has been ac-
quired by the Philadelphia Commercial
Museum, under whose auspices the Egyp-
ton Exploration Fund has been carrying
on some noteworthy explorations in the
neighborhood of Thebes in upper Egypt.
This mummy is distinctly remarkable in
that it is one of the two mummies with a
white face so far discovered. In the wrap.
pings there have been found hieroglyphics
which almost identify Mile. Ten-zu, al.
though the Identification is vague and
really not altogether dependable so far.
However, enough is known to assure us
that Mile. Ten-zu was priestess, and a
beautiful one. Comparison with present
day conditions is, of course, difficult in
this case but the authorities at the Phila-
delphia Museum are certain that the posi-
tion the young woman whose mummified
remains they are now examining held
in old Egypt was position of even far
greater Importance than that held to-day
by member of the United States Senate
This white faced mummy was found in a
magnificent tomb in Thebes, in part of
the cemetery devoted to persons Of high
rank. Only one other white faced mummy
has ever been discovered. 1t has been
known for some time that only women
who attained outstanding distinction for
their religious characters and powers were

the people of Thebes, and that her death had
been almost matter of national mourning
There were no inscriptions on her tomb
or among her wrappings which definitely
disclosed her name. However, a most re-
markable circumstance was revealed
shortly after the arrival of the mummy at
Philadelphia. An old painting of a Mile.
Ten-zu, high priestess of Anon, was
discovered. Almost this painting might
have been photograph of the mummy
case just unearthed. The painting, OF
course, was the creation of an artists i'm
agination. He had gained his inspiration
however, from a careful perusal of old
papyri previously discovered in the same
tomb near Thebes. In these papyri was
found description of the principal priest
ess of the period 500 B. c., and she was
identified as Ten-zu. So detailed was this
description written by some ancient scribe,
that the artist felt he could almost paint
faithful likeness. His painting, which be-
came masterpiece. was the result.
When the white faced mummy was COM
pared to this beautiful painting Of Ten-zu,
Priestess Of Thebes, no doubt remained
in romantic minds at least--that Ten-zu,
herself, had been unearthed and had been
brought to this country to repose in the
halls of the Philadelphia Museum, So we

TRULY WERE GOLDEN CHIMES
Bells Cast In Ancient Mexican Village
Composed in Large Part of
Precious Metals.

In the Mexican state of Sonora, at
the headwaters of the Rio Mayo, is the
ancient mining village of Tyopa, which
in early days was famous for the
sweet-toned bells cast there from cop
per procured in the neighborhood.
1t was from Tyopa that chimes of
bells were obtained for many missions
on the Pacific coast, and from the same
source came bells that were hauled by
OK teams across the desert to mission
settlements in Arizona and New Mex
leo. There was one such settlement
at Sitka, Alaska, established by Fran
ciscan monks, which got it's chime Of
bells from Tyopa.
Some of these bells are still In ex-
istence, their tones as sweet as ever.
Many of them have been melted in lat
ter days for the gold and silver they
contained. The sweetness of their
music, in fact, was due to the circum-
stance that about 25 per cent of the
crudely refined copper from which they
were cast was silver and gold-Mil-

Those of Race Who Reach
FatefuI Limit.

High in the Businesses Of the Andes
mountains of Peru there lives race
which sets an age limit and kills all
of its people who reach the fateful
mark. In each village an official is
appointed to terminate the careers Of
persons who live too long.
Different communities, however,
have different ideas as to what limit
should be placed on human existence.

The Andes natives are Of Indian
descent, possibly from the Quichau

live in adobe novels and are said never

very shy and have no diversions aside
from chewing coca leaves, from which
modern scientists extract cocaine.

LIVE THOUSANDS OF YEARS
Idea That Some Trees Are Immortal
Has Been GraveIy Asserted by
Many Naturalists.

The idea of Immortality in trees 1s
often met with in the works OF the
ancients, observes a writer in the New
York Sun. The historian, JosephuS,
in his Jewish War" relates that In
his day there was near the city OF
Elbron a turpentine tree which was
as old as the days of Adam.
1t was reserved for modern natural
lists to show that these assertions,
however extraordinary they may ap-
pear, are still correct, and that many
of our trees in some sort indestruct-
ible MAY have seen the nnal scene OF
creation and, after Drawing the action
of so many ages, are still upright
and living to this day.
1t is now over a hundred years since
Adanson, by ingenious calculations,
showed the learned that such ideas,
though extraordinary, are yet facts OF
the most scrupulous eXactitude. This
naturalist by happy chance found in
the interior of the trunk of the baobsb
in one of the Cape Verde islands an
inscription which had been traced on
it by the English 300 years previously.
Starting from this point and compar-
ing the diameters Of the stems Of
many Of these bulky trees, the French
savant succeeded in proving that the
most vigorous of these primitive in
habitants of the African forests might
be at least 5000 years old.

HOW SOUND is TRANSMITTED
Vibration of the Air Brings 1t to the
Ear-Travels Faster in Summer
Than in Winter.

Sound is transmitted to the ear
by the vibration of the air. When
one particle of air is made to vibrate
1t sets the adjacent particles to vi
brating, and so a sound wave, if not
obstructed, passes in all directions
from the sounding body. The calcu
lated velocity of sound in the air
when the temperature is at freezing
point is diego feet per second. When
the temperature increases, sound
travels faster, and the rate has been
calculated at a little more than one
foot per second for each degree of
rise in Fahrenheit's thermometer
Contrary to popular belief, sound
travels faster in summer than in
winter, and in warm than in cold
sound would travel more slowly
through a dense atmosphere, but tho
elasticity increases as rapidly as the
density, and therefore, the velocity
of sound is not affected by varying
density. The velocity of sound in
water, when at the greatest density, is
4,707.4 feet per second The expert
ments by which this velocity was de-
termined We're made by M. Callaodin,
in 1926, across the Lake of Geneva,
from Role to Thonon, distance of
about nine miles. Water, therefore,
transmits sound four times as fast as
air does.

Earth's Quiet Spots.

Arid deserts occur in all of the
great land divisions and reach an enor-
nous extent in Africa, Asia and Aus

conditions of South America are
found on the western slopes and

that Of Copiapo, has an average pre-
cipitation of 0.4 inches year. and so
far as known is the driest spot on the
earth's surface.-NeW York Herald.
