LUXOR, Egypt, February 9.-There
Is talk of closing this seasons work
on Tut-Ankh-Amen's tomb at the end
OF the month according to reports
reaching here from ministerial cir

turned to Luxor today bringing all

Started this afternoon. The order was
countermanded at the last moment,
however, and the tomb remained
closed.
If the Cairo reports of stopping
work this month are correct the un-
wrapping of Tut-Ankh- -Amen's num-
my probably will be deferred until
192o. when it may be undertaken by
The Egyptian authorities themselves.
An interesting discovery, which is
greatly exercising archaeologists, is
the fact that the sarcophagus is
placed in an opposite sense to the
position of the outer shrines. On the
other shrines the so-called "eye of
horus. which always indicates the
position of the head of the mummy, is
on the eastern end of the sepulchral
chamber while on the coffin it is
placed at the western end. This may
be another instance of the careless
ness OF the undertakerS. which has
been revealed in so many little WAYS
IN the tomb. or it Lay conceal a mys-
terry which the Psychologists at pres
ent are unable to penetrate.
