London, Oct. "a. tP)--Whereas
the world Is just beginning TO use
alabaster for electric lighting, the
Egyptians S,275 years ago made
even finer alabaster lamps than are
produced today Howard Carter,
-discoyerer Of Tutankhamen's
tomb, said in an address here.
Mr.. Carter made known that In
finding many of these lamps in the
tomb the secret Of how the Egyp-
tians illuminated their homes was
revealed.
The lamps we're executed IN
beautiful designs IN translucent
alabaster. and one Of them stood
about three feet in height, with a
large central cup. There was no
decoration on the exterior or the
interior. but Immediately Il light
was placed IN the vessel there
could he seen a picture of the
young king and queen In colors.
The effect was produced by an
other vessel, with the decoration
on It's exterior, being fitted inside
the lamp so cleverly that the Joints
between the two vessels could not
be seen,
