of the antechamber to which q few
weeks of familiarity had accustom-
ed us had not prepared us for the
amazing revelation of this iEnermoat
chamber. Among all it's myriad treas
ures I carry with me an imperish
able vision of four lovely goddesseS
in shining gold standing in winsome
grace with outspread arms and
heads charmfngly poised on one
side as they guard the sumptuous,
gold-covered shrine containing the
kings four mortuary vases, COM
monty called canopic jars. These
exquisite girlish figures are funda-
mentally new revelation of grace
and beauty in ancient art. They are
quite equal to anything ever pro-
duced in Greek sculpture and rival
the greatest works Of art of any
age.
Survival of Ancient Art
The great value and significance
OF this most marvellous archaeological
discovery of modern times lies in
the fact that in this tomb we have
preserved a group of survivals from
the unique revolution in art and
religion which had preceded Tut
ankhamen. This revolution was due
to the unique genius of Tutankh'
amen's father-in-law, Ikhnaton. He
had introduced the earliest known
monotheism and infused into art a
freedom, power and beauty which
completely transformed it. This rev.
olution marked the highest level of
ancient culture before the Greeks.
The fanatical reaction which fol
lowed left very little or the new
thought and art to reveal to us ats
character. Ikhnaton's beautiful cap
itoI at Tel FL Amarnh was swept
away and with it persisted the great
works of art which his tremendous
revolution had brought forth. Some
of them, however, were brought
back to Thebes, the old capital, by
Tutankhamen, and. Of these not a
few were piously placed in his
tomb by his surviving relatives.
Tutankhamen's tomb, therefore,
became a treasury and magazine in
which have been preserved the only
surviving monuments and works of
art of the first days of intellectual
emancipation in the human career
and the only one antedating the
Greeks.
Having been asked by the dis
coverer 10 undertake a full study Of
all the documents and evidence
made available by this extraordi-
nary discovery for the purpose of
furnishing for the final official pub
LEGATION a completely documented
historical Interpretation of the tomb,
I am not i'll a position to disclose
the interesting evidence on which
the above statement of the value of
the discovery rests, but the evil
dence will be made available to i
science in due time. Meantime we
may rest content with the assur-
ance that at last the greatest civil |
lization antedating the Greeks and
the earliest refined culture ever
brought forth by man is adequate
ly revealed to us in works of SUI
preme beauty and power. They form
the greatest revelation Of this kind
ever recovered in the entire history
of archaeological discovery in any |
land. For this reason the Earl of |
Carnarvon and Howard Carter have
laid us under a debt of gratitude
and appreciation which we shall
never be able to repay.

tomb door ways when he was left in
his last sleep more than three thou

solemn silence Of his tomb before
the mysterious sealed doorway
guarded by the kings two sentinel
statues looking serenely down upon
me on either hand and had studied
over $50 seal impressions with which
the doorway was thickly covered
from top to bottom.
They furnished convincing evil
dence that the kings body still lay
within and they showed that the
royal mortuary furniture with which
such an august sepulchre was al
ways equipped was likewise still
within. On December 20 L had seen
the tomb with this knowledge and
had voyaged slowly back to Cairo
dreaming of the marvellous posi-
bilities of such an almost untouched
royal burial, an absolutely unprec-
edented treasury of ancient art, re-
ligion and history.
Thrilling Experience
On February Is I stood before the
sealed doorway again. The mag
nificent furniture which had filled
the ante chamber had been removed
and only the statues of the king re-
manned. Thus cleared, the doorway
was more accessible than before,
and it confirmed the first conclusion
I had drawn. Nevertheless, it was
a thrilling experience the next after
noon to see Howard Carriers ham
mer and chisel skilfully Breaking
away the first hard plaster bearing
seals and then dislodging the ma
sonry filling behind. thus producing
in a quarter of an hour a small
opening which revealed one corner
of the imposing blue and gold cata-
falque containing the body of Tut
enkhamen. We were the first men
of the modern. world to look into
the burial hall of an ancient kings
tomb still remaining essentially as
it had looked when priests and royal
officers closed and sealed it $3.50
years ago.
Through all the sweep of cen
turtles no human eye had looked in
to this royal sepulchre, to step be-
tween the kings two silent statues
unheeding their mute protests, toI

falque, to look through it's open doors

WORD MAKES A Difference
Controversy at Philadelphia Is a Case
in Point, and There Have seen
Many Others.

In the case of Philadelphia woman
who served as stenographer in
France during the war, and has since
passed away, the government has de-
clined to refund tax payment of $780,
394 made by her estate, on the ground
that she was not 'in" but merely
with the military forces In France.
Much depends on single word. and
the case Is to so before jury, the
Philadelphia Public Ledger says.
There are many historic instances of
controversy over word. Goodwin
Smith said the Civil war was fought
on point of grammar-whether 1t
should be ''the United States is" or
"the United States are" Church coun-
ellis In the Middle ages were ''by
schisms rent assunder" over the use
of the word ''filioque" in the creed. and
there are similar divergences over
other terms. ''In the beginning was
the Word"-and that word. the Greel;
.iogos," has itself been the theme os
interminabie discussion. The speaker
who has the malady which in the
Thaw trial was termed "loy,irr.iea"

Your Telephone Can Sing.

DID you know II Is possible to play
n tune on an ordinary telephone re-
ceiver? asks London TitBits.
The musical telephone works In the
same way MS the usual speaking In
strument. When you talk Into teie-
phone your voice moves little disk
which alters the power Of mn electric
current. thus moving duplicate disk
at the other end of the line. This sec.
ond disk translates the electric wave
back into human language.
In the musical telephone. instead OF
talking into mouthplece various
buttons nre pressed which alter the
electric current In the same way that
your voice does. This causes the disk
in the receiver to move up and down.
In this way various notes are pro-
duced. md IL the apparatus can he
