the staircase, and we thought
that this might be his vizier's
tomb. When we got to the
sealed wall, however, we de-
ciphered. after a good deal Of
trouble. the cartouche of Tu-
tankhamen.
Cautiously enough, on the right
hand corner the cartouche Of Tu-
tankhamen was missing. and we
noticed that a large hole had evil
IDENTIFY been made there and re-
sealed, and instead of having the
seal of Tutankhamen. had the seal
of the Royal Metropolis.
when we got into the passage
it was perfectly easy to see where
the plunderers had gone in. They
had made a hole at the right-hand
corner big enough for a small man
to crawl through. 1t took US one
or two days to clear the twenty
seven feet long passage, and when
we got to the end we came to an
other sealed wall. Again we saw
where a hole had been made in
the wall and resealed, and we were
very doubtful as to what we should
find behind.
EXCITING MOMENT.

exciting moment. said to Mr..

= ORD CARNARVON, speak
ing at a lecture given by
- Professor Newberry on be-
half of the Egypt Exploration
Society at the Central Hall. West
minister, gave an interesting &C.
count Of the discoveries in the
Valley Of the Tombs of the Kings.
Gen. Sir John Maxwell, who
presided, referred to the interest
which has been aroused in Egypt
ology through the discoveries at
Luxor.
Lord Carnarvon said when he
and Howard Carter started dig
ging in the Valley Of the Tornbs
Of the Kings it was not thought
that there was very much chance
of finding any other Pharaoh
there. They did not expect, act
ually, to find the mummy of a
King. much less the untouched
tomb Of a King. They hoped to
find one of the viziers or great
people Of that period. There was
a very celebrated vizier who lived
In the reign of Thotmes III,
whose chapel forms part Of the
Theban metropolis some distance
away, and the curious thing was
that none Of his Itinerary furni-
ture had ever been found. The
chapel was a very beautiful
specimen OF Theban art, but the
tomb or pit had never been dis
covered, and he had always
thought 1t possible that this
might be found in the Valley
of the Kings.
For about eight years, Lord
Carnarvon said. he and Mr.. Carter
had been digging in large
triangular space, and must have
moved fifty or seventy thousand
tons Of rubbish without coming
upon anything, and they went
on until they were between five
or ten yards of the Tomb of
Ramesis the Sixth.
It was getting late In the seas
on, and there were a great many
tourists about. This was
favorite Tomb for tourists, and
their operations would have pre-
vented the tourists from seeing
one Of the most popular Tombs.
They therefore left off, meaning
to dig on in the off season. They
had to defer 1t, however, but last
October they both decided that
this would be the first place to
dig and clear up any doubts they
might have.
II suppose" said Lord Carnar.

ging three days when he came
upon the first steps Of this tomb.

What the Traveller Says

The Boston Traveller of recent date
contains the following article relat-
ing to The fire eXtingusher powder
which is being demonstrated by +.
n. Spear of this place. Mr. Spear
onstrate.
Put out fires with few handfuls
of powder
That is the slogan of Elliot n. Spear
of SkoWhegan, Me-, and his advance
agent A. S. Williams, who is in Bos-
ton to give demonstrations of the fire
killing possibilities of the powder,
which WAS invented by Spear They
have obtained an appointment and
will give a demonstration on October
Is at o'clock in the afternoon in
a vacant lot on Summer street extern
sion
Williams claims much for the in
vention II is superior to water in
fire fighting and better than other
powders which have been introduced
Where others fail to extinguish burn
ing films, it is claimed chat Spears
powder will quench such a flame al
most instantancOusly.
The inventor has mapped out sew
eral hard tests for himself, but Chief
John o. Taber of the Boston fire de-
partment, for whom the demonstration
is to be given here, will rely princi-
pally on the test against burning
films, perhaps the hardest test of all.
Several leading state and city officials
will be present at the demonstration.
Mayor Curley and Mayor Quinn OF
Cambridge will receive invitations.
Among the tests the inventor has
set for himself are the extinguishing
of burning hydro-carbide oil, a piano
case with two gallons of tar, one gal
Ion of shoe cement, two gallons of
kersene and brokensup wood, and fire
in room 10 feet by 10 feet. This
last test is to have four walls with a
door. 1t is to be covered with kero-
sene, some turpentine, with but little
gasoline.
He requests that he be allowed to
throw three handfuls of powder in
side the door before entering Then
he will permit the door to be closed.
1t is claimed that on one occasion
with the piano case test at public
demonstration Mr.. Spear used pow
der that had been mixed with water,
boiled for 30 minutes and then dried
in the sun and sifted. Two hand
fuls extinguished the flames. Tray

new CHAPEL MEMORIAL
TO REV. Mr.. M'CLEkAGHAN

JAMESBURG, June 2-On Thurs
day, June IA, services dedicating a
new chapel at the Johnson's Place,
Burlington county, will be the big
gest event in the history of the
Synodical Board of Home Missions
of New Jersey. The new building
will be a memorial to the late Rev.
Samuel j. McClenaghan, for seven
years pastor of the Jamesburg Pres
byterian church and later superin-
tendent of the Home Mission Board
of New Jersey.
The chapel has been erected to
meet a great need in a section OF
country in 4,ew Jersey pine belt and
will be a practical aid to the Synodi-
cal ministry to the scattered people
who have their living as woodsmen,
cranberry growers and farmers.
The church settlement was begun
at Johnson's Place when the New
Jersey Synod, through the vision and
supreme devotion of the late Mr.. Nc
Clenaghan, was led to undertake a
budget to sustain the work. Before
it's official recognition by the Synod,
Mrs. Mary Davis had laid good
foundations. on which to build a
Christian work. She was officially
adopted by the Synod as its mission
airy to the Pines about six years ago
and assisted by her niece, Mrs.
Maude Baker. she is a very efficient
director of the work at Johnson's
Place. These workers are also in
charge of similar work at Retreat,
seven miles distant and in a parish
covering many miles they are lead
ers in a vigorous ministry. h new
building has come to its completion
in answer TO a demand of the COM
munity and will aid greatly in the
development of the work.
A portrait of Rev. Mr.. Mcclena-
CHAN will be presented in connec-
zion with the dedication services.
The service of dedication will be
conducted under the direction OF the
Synodical Home Missions Committee
and will commence at IL O'Clock in
the morning under the direction of
the superintendent, Rev. Joseph l..
Ewing, a former pastor of the
JamesbLrg church residing at Rah-
way.
