Wanted, one first-class mummiflca-
tion expert Egyptian experience not
required). to aid perplexed scientists.
The problem really hasn't reached
that stage as yet, but scientists Of the
National Park Service and the Smith
sonian Institution would like to meet
some one who knows under what kind
of light mummies thrive best.
The problem centers about the pre-
Columbian Indian mummy In Man,
moth Cave, KY, which is displayed
in a glass case, electrically lighted
! during visiting hours.
Recently park service officials noted
the embalmed body didn't look the
same. Due apparently to the effect
of light and heat, a fungus growth
had made its appearance.
For several centuries the mummy
had rested on the ledge where a rock
had fallen, crushing out the life OF
the prehistoric miner. Apparently
under the natural conditions in the
cave, there had been no marked de-
terioration, but now after only q year
under artificial light the mummy
shows signs Of disintegration.
This discovery called for action. In
the name Of first-aid for mummies, q
conference was called between men,
