WEALTH BEYOND HUMAN IDEA
If the vaIuables Found in "kina Tu.'s"
Tomb Had Been lnvected
When He Died.

1t has been estimated by Lore Car
narvon, who has been superintsnding
the excavations at the tomb OF King
Tut-Ankh-Amen near Luxor, Egypt,
that the total value Of all objects
found in the tomb is about $15.O0O, 600.
Somebody with a mathematical
mind popped up and askel:
"How much would that have amount
ed to if, instead of having baen buried
with the king thirty-five centuries ago,
It had been put out in safe 8 per cent
ground rents and compounded interest
up to the present days"
Here is the answer: S14,2SS, 900 ,000,-
OOO,OOO 900. .OOo, ,OOO, q 10000, 600 600, 900,
100000, ,OO0, ,O00. .Ooe, ,o0G, ,O00, ,00O,OO0,O0O, :
100000, 900. 600 100000.
That is it is the answer given by
Or. John Rogers Musselman, assistant
professor of mathematics at Johns
Hopkins university.
It's all very simple, according To
the mathematicians. You manage it
by logarithms.
How do you say it in words? There
"ain't no such sum-" There are mil
lions, billions, trillions. quadrilions,
quintillions and so on. But the human

In Christian and Jewish testaments,
Gabriel is one of the seven arch
angels-the other six being Michael,
Raphael, Urlel, Chamuel, zophiel and

New Testaments, generally as a minis

interpreted the vision of Daniel, and az

the glad tidings Of the "Annunciation"

Profane and Biblical history, is re-
plete with references to cotton and
cotton fabrics. Nearcus, one Of Alex
ander's generals, records that "a shirt
or tunic, reaching to the middle of the
leg; sheet folded around the shout
ders, turban rolled about the head"
was the costume of Indla-an almost
exact counterpart Of the dress of the
natives of that country today. The
Book of Esther describes the feast Of
Ahasuerus, whose royal banquet halls
were adorned with white, green and
blue hangings fabrics from
India. 1t Is clear that the conven-
tional dress of the Biblical Jews was of
cotton, and that cotton was as indis-
pensable to the Chinese Of the time
of Confucius as now.

CHAPTER TX

In Bathurst, the deputy governor
awaited news of Sir. George Barclay.
More than q month bad passed since
he had left the town, and during
most of the time letters had come
through regularly to official head
quarters. The deputy knew that the
furthermost point of the tour must
now be about reached; but nearly a
week had passed without any COM
ing from the party. The fact was
munication, official or otherwise COM
not alarming; the part Sir George
must now be in was the widest
in the colony, anu a week might
easily pass without any message
coming through.
But when another day or so passed
without bringing any news the
deputy began to wonder what had

astray," one of the officers remarked.

hourly expecting some message from
the governors. party, but none came.
There was no reason to think that
harm had befallen them, for the
colony was in perfect order.
Then they sent up for news to the
next town of any Importance, only
to hear that nothing had been heard
there either.
The answer astounded them.
An expedition was sent Off post

to the party,
They were nearly a fortnight in
reaching the old fort, the last spot
where any message had como from.
And there, they found the British flag

tiers. but both the bungalow and the
fortress were deserted.
In the old guardroom and the COM
pound were few gnawed human
bones; but there was no other trace
of the missing expedition, although
there was every sign that disaster
had overtaken it,
The officials were aghast. Sir
George and his staff had completely
disappeared. That there had been
fighting was evident. The bones in
the guardroom and compound told
them that much. but all trace of their
identity had been gnawed off by
proWling hyenas.
The country around was secured,
but IL brought no clue. The French
government was communicated with,
but il could throw no light on the
affair.
When the news reached England
1t caused sensation, for society
culled that Sir George Barclays
daughter, the lovely twenty-year-o
heiress, Pansy Langham, was among
those mtSsing-dead now, or perhaps
worse;' the chattel of one of the wild
marauders who had fallen so swiftly
and silently upon her fathers party.
And in pleasant English country
house Miss Granger wept for the
bright, brave girl who had always
been such a generous friend and
conSlderate mistress.
