the spot when these gems came
into the sunlight after 5000 years
in the tomb. Mr.. Carter, how
ever, was in generous mood. He
brought out a treasure which
could not but thrill all present.
At 1890 he removed on
stretcher two objects, one Of mi
nor interest. With It on the
stretcher. was placed an alabAD-
ter box containing grayieh MAJ
terial.
AS the stretcher came into the
sunlight it was for q moment IN
distinguishable. When the box
was brought to the path for
transport to the tomb Of Seti H.,
and closer inspection was posi-
BILE, the onlookers became aware
Of the full import Of the find.
The alabaster box was fun cf
human hair Of q drab gray color.
The same thought came TO all.
Pharaoh's magnificence, as rep
resented by the chariots and the
smaller throne had come to light,
and now came the personal ele-
ment, the physical attribute Of
somebody who had lived thou
sands Of years ago.
The significance Of the hair be-
ing in the tomb has not for the
moment been discovered, but 1t
is thought that probably Tutank-
hamen died before his Queen. and
that this hair IL the Queens, and
was placed In the tomb with the
Kings body.

tanl1hamen's tomb this morning.

years, and which, in the opinion

MIRROR OF HISTORY.
understand that evidence has
been found in the tomb that
Egypt under Tutankhamen was
prosperous, and except for relig
ious disputes fairy calm. But that
evidence is not surprising, In
view Of the fact that art was de-
veloped to such a high standard
during the period.
When one realizes how, during
other ages, art has developed.
there is a greater significance in
the fact that this discovery has
revealed unprecedentedly beautiful
examples of decorative art. That
fact alone in some measure re-
constructs life in Egypt under
Tutankhamen.
BY dint of hard work this
morning, Mr.. Carter succeeded in
removing varied collection Of
objects from the tomb. Soon
after II o'clock, bearers emerged
from the tomb with a large
stretcher bearing what seemed to
be large Easter eggs. Unless one
had seen them previously it
would have been impossible to
recognize them as the work of
the early predecessors Of the
great meat-packing firms Of to-
day.
They were sealed white egg
shaped boxes containing venison
and other meats for the Kings
sustenance in the next world.
The faith of Amen was a ma
terialist creed, though in Tutank-
hamen's day it was more modi-
fled than in earlier times. 1t
insisted, however, on the mate
rial needs of the dead.
Fifteen minutes later another
stretcherful Of meat was brought
into daylight, but all has not
yet been removed. There is much
curiosity as to whether the meat
is edible, but those to the wind
ward of the packages this morn
ing are able to state very definite
ly that the meat packers OF Tut
ankhamen's period were not 60
efficient as the modern Amer
lean.
A little later were brought out
what appeared to be four ornate
candlesticks. Lord Carnarvon
and Mr.. Carter made special men,

Professor Breasted after visiting
the tomb. They are in the form
of an ankh, supported by human

as to suggest that they are bear.

couch. Either end of the couch
is exquisitely inlaid with golden
Heroglyphs.
AS Mr.. Carter obligingly allowed
the bearers to walk slowly, and
as the couch was not gwathed in
bandages had time to study
some Of them. Those on the foot
OF the couch announce that the
couch belonged to 1.-THE Lord Of
the two lands, King Of Upper and
Lower Egypt. Tutankhamen gives
to all life, stability, power,
strength. happiness" It is notable
that this inscription, and also the
Kings cartouches, bear the affix
''amon," not "aton,' indicating
that this couch came into the
Kings possession subsequent to
his remuneration of the hereto
solar monotheism propagated by
his predecessor Alienation.
On the top Of the couch were
a number of bows and walking
sticks. One Of the latter struck
the fancy Of the watchers. It
was bigger, than the rest, and
had as a handle an exquisitely
carved figure Of an Asiatic
prisoner.
VALUABLE JEWELS.
Superb as this couch and walk
ing stick are, they are trans
cended, artistically, by the only
other objects brought out today
a most beautiful small alabaster
vase and a priceless jewel box
containing the Kings jewelry. One
hesitates to describe the exquisite
beauty of this miniature vase and
Of this jewel box, or of the jew
elry, lest one be accused Of exag-
geration. The previous alabaster
vases brought out seemed to be
lncomparably beautiful, but the
baby vase removed today, for
sheer breath-taking, artistic beauty,
is absolutely unrivaled.
Every man and woman adjacent
to the tomb today gazed at it
ecstatically; they could not help
it. And when they moved their
eyes from the vase, they saw
within the large jewel box
whose red, blue, brown, and gold
hues are skillfuly interviewer into
the cartouches of Tutankhamen
and the representations Of the
sacred serpent bearing the sun
disc on it's head, also the god

of upper and lower Egypt-a

window, would fetch sensational

Mr.. Carter has passed beyond

astic over the beauty Of objects
in the tomb; but as this box was
carried through the crowd this
morning, he turned and remarked:
Beautiful jewelry, is. it not?'
And when Mr.. Carter says any
