skin and flesh, and show us photographs Of
the bones within.
All the trouble that the old king took
to keep his body from going back into the
earth where it belonged will merely result
in supplying modern science with an Xray
picture of his skull, his ribs, etc., and allow
scientists to decide what changes if any
have occurred in the human skeleton in
three thousand years.
All this makes men thoughtful and it
makes them think EARNESTLY of their
own individual lack of Importance and of
the importance of doing UItGt good they
can do wEaiLe they LiUe, leaving to high
Justice and destiny WI10t may come after.
Mr.. McCay sends this memorandum
with his cartoon published to-day:
ut is important for us to realize that
THIS day and OURSELVES, of which we
are often too proud, will soon be as Egypt's
yesterday-out of date, old fashioned, primi-
tive and laughable.
ITO emphasize this made this picture
of old King Tut once ruler of Egypt, who,
of course, considered himself the great friend
of the great GODS the ruler of the earth and
the finest thing upon it. He imagined that
the earth would stand still, that some Pharaoh
would always continue to rule, that chariot
with two horses would always be the greatest
transportation machine that men would ever
see. How foolish he would feel if he could

ping blood, holds one Of the enemy under
his paws, while the other savages look on
in terror. 1T must be divine being that
can thus bring lion, killing for him"
That is the thought in their minds.
The old king, as he saw his lion dash at
the terrified savages, must have said to
himself: Changes WILL come, but they
never can improve on THAT in any war.
The last word for ALL TIME must be a
lion that doesn't bite NE and that DOES
bite my enemies"
What would he say if he could see
poison gas, INT bombs, machine guns, a
cannon shooting seventy miles, flying ma

marine, invisible, launching death from the

There is only one force on this earth,
except the forces of Nature, that keeps the
earth rolling and the. plants growing. That
ONE force, the only thing that can change
and improve the earth and the men upon it,
is HUMAN THOUGHT.
Everything that STIMULATES thought.
as this page in it's humble way stimulates
it, is good thing for the world Every
thing that DEADENS thought, as drugs.
alcohol, self indulgence, idleness, supersti-
tion and ignorance deaden it, is a bad thing
for the human race.
Mr.. McCay's picture to-day is of great
value, because it makes us realize wildly
that this earth is changing scene. ALI the
things of yesterday are obsolete to-day,
except Justice and kindness. And all the
things of to-day will be primitive and
obsolete in the years to come, except scien-
tiic KNOWLEDGE, KINDNESS and
JUSTICE.
Let us do what we can to show kindness,
to increase knowledge, to live justly, not
taking ourselves too seriously, except as we
may be useful and just, thinking of the
future in the light of the past, hopefully;
rejoicing in the better conditions of our
period, and doing our part to make them
better still in the period that is to follow
ours.

WE THINK, realize how magnificently the
earth is managed, how fortunate we are to
escape, how rare such disasters are
in history.
Those that think farther ahead plan to
control volcanoes, to understand earth
ouakes to prevent floods by management
of rivers, prevent plaques by control OF
disease sources, prevent mobs and riots by
just and firm laws.
Most useful in this modern day is the
discovery Of old King Tut ankh- Amen,
lying with his household goods, his treas
ures, his manufactured gods, in the tomb
where he was laid more than three thou
sand years ago. Mans knowledge has been
increased, his imagination has been stimu-
lated, his interest in the possibility Of other
discoveries has been aroused.
Above all, the digging out Of the old
Egyptian Pharaoh, the publication Of de-
tails, wherever men read, on this earth, has
been valuable, because it HAS MADE
MEN THINK.
They think how little any individual
amounts to, as they see that old king taking
such infinite pains about his own body,
which will soon be merely one of the curios-
tiles in museum.
They think how little worldly goods
amount to, and how little fantastic ideas
of various divinit1es amount to, as they see
the kings tomb open, with his gods set up
to guide and encourage him, and his wealth,
as useless as his dead body, lying about
him.
The X-ray Of the modern world will
pierce through that body, through the thick
