French Actress to Quit
After 81 Years on Stage

Paris.-Mme. Marie Laurie has de
cided to retire after 60 years of acting
on the stage. She is Frances oldest
actress.
1t was only a chance incident that
directed her career toward the stage,
she said. 81 had spent most of my
youth in England and came here with

which found great favor during the
period Of Marshal MacMahon's popu-

Vanished Lemuria Believed in
Indian Ocean.

London.-To find the "lost CONT
nent" of Lemuria, British scientists
are to search the bottom of the Indian
ocean. The continent is supposed to
have stretched from Madagascar to
Sumatra and India in prehistoric
times.
The expedition will be headed by
Capt. j. M. Mackenzie, who COM
manded the Discovery on Sir Douglas
Mawson's last voyage to the Antarctic.
The Egyptian government has lent its
research ship, Mahahiss. The scien-
tific leader will be Col. Seymour Sew
ell, director of the geological survey
of India.
Altogether the expedition will be
nine months at sea between Africa
and India in the Mahahiss. The 105-
ton steamer is being fitted with the
later inventions for under-sea explor-
alton at Alexandra, and will be ready
to leave England In August
The gadgets include a new echo
sounding machine, which not only re-
cords the depths by the length of time
an echo takes to turn from the sea
bottom but also provides a running
representation of the ocean bed on an
apparatus like stock ticker

Find Fossil Bones of
Camel in Nevada Lake

Las Vegas, Nev.-When camels were
introduced into Nevada and the west
ern states 76 years ago as pack ami
mails, they were coming back to the
home of their ancestors, evidence un-
earthed here has revealed.
In the old lake bed of Buffalo camp,
ten miles north of here, Albert e. Sill
berling, fossil expert formerly associ
ated with the Carnegie museum in
New York city, and Fernley Hunter,
amateur paleontologist, have found a
mammoth burial place Of mammals of
the Pliocene age.
From the lake bed they unearthed
and shipped a thousand pounds of fos-
SLICED bones to the American Museum
of Natural History in New York.
Bones of camelops-or humpless
camels-were found in great number.
These fossils are between 10000 and
10000 years years old, Silberling said.
The camel, like its companion beast
of burden-the horse-originated in
north Africa during the tertiary pc
riod, or the modern era of geology
when the mountains were made and
huge reptiles of the cretaceous period
had persisted, and the dominant land
life was mammalian.

Speaking of the expedition, j. c..
Murray, whose fathers will provided
the money for the search, said:
"The main object will be to discov-

and formed the continent of 'Lemuria.'
"a further object will be to ascer-

uses watered that city's famous gar
dens. Each pier contains building
inscription of Sennacherib, and when
translated, it was found that he called
the aqueduct .Sennacherib's channel
"The annals of Sennacherib give an
account of this channel, which hither-
to had not been identified, and also
give the names of a whole series of
villages past which 1t went. In one
of the villages near the route of the
aqueduct, Doctor Frankfort found a
purely oral tradition that these ruins
had brought water for the gardens of
Nineveh. The tradition has the names
of the villages as Sennacherib listed
them, although the names have long
since changed. That tradition had
been passed down by word of mouth
for 1900 years."
Another discovery to which Doctor
Breasted referred as representative of
the more important recent finds was
that of Gordon Loud who has charge
of the architectural survey of Khor-
sabad under Doctor Frankfort. Mr..
Loud found in the palace a temple
previously unknown, sacred to Nabu,
who is referred TO In the Old Tesla
ment as Nebo.

observed. "and we have hopes of find

records. Mr. Loud also found at
Khorsabad a large clay tablet which
lists 80 ASsyrian kings. reaching far

only member of the expedition who
did not come down with malaria and
had to leave, they have not been care

"At the present time we have only

Doctor Breasted flew 5000 miles by
plane in the Near East in visiting the
expeditions, covering in five minutes
distances that on earlier trips had
required a day by camel. On this re-
cent visit he saw for the first time the
expeditions and work being carried on
at Persepolis, and by the Syrian and
Iraq field forces Since his last trip,
new headquarters buildings have been
erected by the Institute at Luxor,
Persepolis, and Tel Asmar.
