Only about four such lamps remain in
existence. SO far as is known.
The expedition also obtained a SINH
lar sandstone lamp made for carrying
in the hand, believed to date back about
10000 years.
From the expedition to Mesopotamia
several other ancient lamps have been
received. These were eXcavated from
the site Of the ancient Sumerian city
of Kish, seat of the worlds earliest civili-
zation. They are about $500 years old
and are made from the shells of a
Persian Gulf mollusk called scorpion
shell, because of its peculiar shape. The
bowl-like part of the shell. in which
the fleshy part of the animal was
housed. was filled by the Sumerians with
oil, and wicks dipping into 1t were
placed on several finger like projections
of the shell. where they were lighted

The company denies that the plat
form was not properly constructed and
the guard ropes of proper height and
strength. It admits that the young
woman fell June % while dancing, but
declares that she "negligently partic-

which she made a series of leaps and
bounds" by means of which she is said
to have backed forcibly against the
guarding ropes. The company is rep
resented by Attorneys Charles B. Tebbs
