TUT'S TOMB EVEN

 I.uXor, Egypt. Dec. 31.--The farther Howard Carter proceeds with the dis mantlinG Of the great wooden canopy in tn" mortuary chamber of Tutank- hamon's tomb, the more interesting it's disclosures become.
 The correspondent today found the whole roof of the outer shrine re- moved, as well as the great linen pail sewn with golden roscttes. which hung over a rack so as to surround the second shrine. The sides of the outer shrine still remain, and one is able to get an idea not only Of the prodigious size Of the exterior shrine but also Of the remarkable dimensions Of the second.
 Were the second shrine and its as vet secret contents bodily removed. one would find oneself standing in il marvellous golden chapel, namely the outer shrine, large enough to contain a good sized altar. The walls are oXquisitcly decorated with hicrogyp- phics lightly inciscd in dull gold and framed by three broad black lines. The similc Of the chapel is strengthened by the appearance Of the "ankh" symbol--the so-called key of lifo-which is painted in the outer shrine where an altar would stand.
 The second shrin" is in itself worthy of Tutankhamen the magni- icent, It is all in gold color, duly yellow on the sides but glcaming on the lintcl. and the two doors arc like plates of reddish metal. The roof has the same graceful curve as the top Of the outer shrine. and the lid is orna- mcnted with a curious but most dcc- orative checker board design or black and gold.
 Tho doors arc ornamcntcd with striking representations Of Tutankha- men. On the left panel the Goddess Nephthys stands behind the god Osiris. They are attircd in full splcndor and to them inc pharaoh. young and slim. wearing the double crown Of upper and lower Egypt is jar Of wine and q iotus flower.
 On the right panel the king is depicted. offering libation 10 the hawk headed god whose feather. rd head is surmountcd with the gold rn disc Of the sun, Behind Tutank- hancn stands Isis, the other goddess of the dead.
 Mir. Carter was busy today in wrapping surgical bandagcs about the black and gold framework Of the pail rack. the paint of which has badly cracked
