MARS AND JUPITER

Planets Present Beautiful Spec
tacle in Eastern Skies To-
ward Daybreak.

For several mornings past the con-
junction of the plants Jupiter and
Mars, visible as morning stars, has
been a beautiful and spectacular phe-
nomenon in the eastern heavens.
The former planet rises about an
hour before the latter and the two
are separated by about thirteen de-
grees. Jupiter being east OF Mars.
These planets are now approaching
ca. h other, owing to the more rapid
motion of Mars, and a very close
conjunction will occur when the two
celestial bodies will be distant from
each other less than half a degree.
This event will provide an attract
i've spectacle for the unaided eye be-
fore sunrise until the 18th Of the
month. Jupiter is the brighter Of the
pair and shines with a pale yellow
ulster, while Mars gives its usual red
light.
The bright-red star Anteres. In the
constellation Scorpio. will be situated
about ten degrees west of northwest
of the two planets during the period
Of their close proximity in the east

LUXOR, February 16.-Among the
many complications which the present
situation here has brought about, in
volving a strike by the scientific
workers conducting the operations in
King Tuts tomb. one fact has not
been touched upon, wherein turks a
possible tragic turn to the whole
discovery.
In anticipation of the Egyptian
government demand that certain
number of the public be admitted to
view the tomb. Howard Carter, head
Of the expedition, had placed 4 plate
glass cover over the opened
sarcophagus In order that none could
touch the magnificent gold coffin Of
the pharaoh. Instead Of using wire
cable In the differentia1 hoists with
which the sarcophaguS was raised last
Tuesday, Carter employed very heavy.

did not expect the lid to remain sus-

hours after the. opening.
AS stated in this correspondents

ropes stretched more than had been

It is now five days since the opening
and IT is not at all inconceivable that
the ropes may give way, thereby al
lowing the ponderous. already
cracked lid to crash down upon the
