mission the writer photographed this
beautiful head executed more than
5 900 years ago. The photograph of
that head is the first ever taken of
this beautiful work, executed more

probably did not begin to reach high
artistic stage until 500 or 500 BIC.
"A great part OF the cemetery Of

tention Of DR.. Selim Hassan to make
an attack on the other cemetery, that
of Kheops, either this year or the
next. DR.. Hassan was fortunate, in
deed, to find many important tombs
in the cemetery of Chrephren relating
to the family Of this King and to his
officials and courtiers.
And the most important Of these
tombs found this season is that of

The world knows the outward facts
of the marriage Of Napoleon and Marie
Louise. The interesting thing, there
fore, to be brought out from this coz
respondence is what light it sheds on
the private nature Of the union,
union that was arbitrarily made be-
tween natures that were wholly incon-
gruouA
The question is answered somewhat
disappointingly. The letters reveal
chiefly dutiful and perfunctory affec-
ton. They are tender in tone, they
are written at frequent intervals. But
they are brief and the affectionate
terms are repeated noticeably. The
Emperor asks after the Empress
health and the health of his son. He
sends his love. He wishes that. he
might be with her. He advises khis

moner) has raised her. He suggests
places Of amusement that she might
like to visit. He sends kisses. These
are not love letters. They are the let
tiers of tremendously preoccupied
man, with sense Of duty toward his
family. That really seems to be all.
The letters in book form are fur
nished with adequate commentary by
Charles de la Ronciere. chief custodian
of the Bibliotheque Rationale, who has
also contributed foreword. They
made a well-connected narrative. so

Then the Beauty herself fluttered her
wings and went away, exactly like the
butterfly for which she had been
named. leaving those who had followed
her illusion to the South to console
themselves with the reality or philos-
ophy which they had been able to
attain.
1t sounds fantastic and 1t is fantastic,
but unfortunately not quite satisfac-
torily so. 1t is one of those books
which a good writer sometimes writes,
In which there Is recognizably the
hand of the craftsman, but which
somehow fails to come of, for no
definitely discernible reason. In the
present work, in so far as the reason
can be run to ground, 1t would seem
to be certain lack of coherent convic-
ton. In intent the book is a novel of
physical adventure in which the action
also makes its mark on the minds and
souls of the characters. a highly
honorable literary FORM But the double
purpose Is not, somehow, realized. The
result is falling short of Stevenson
and an oversho0ting of the straight
thriller. The middle ground is indie

Reports that three cargoes of Ar

Early selling of corn was believed
to have been against purchases of
