aarcophagua found by tha Kcavv

heart, livar and inteatinea of tha Pha

tha pm tart kin of four goda among a
bewildering maaa of objacta litter
ing tha annex to tha aarrophagua
chamber.
Tha moat r tntic find yat mada
waa alao revealed whan tha roba of
tha king, mada of gold thread aawn
with precioua atonaa and unuleta,
waa found In a Jumble. It la probably
one tha Pharaoh wore on great atate
occaalona.
All doubta aa to whether the klng'a
body would be found untouched were
cleared to the aatia'action of tha tomb
dlacoverara. Tha Pharaoh'a aaat in
the coffin holt waa found intact. The
Innen tomb having eacaped the de
predationa of the ghoul* who through
the Intervening centuriea hare found
tomb looting a lucrative paatime. tha j
world aoon will he afforded a look at |
a dead king of ancient Egypt utiff
within hia wrappinga brown with age,
but exactly aa he wai left by the laat
member of the funeral party to re- j
treat ailently through the doorway,
the aeala of which have endured
through time and were violated only
within the laat few day*.
The official opening of the inner
tomb waa very different from the
dramatic aecret forcing of the anr
cophagua chamber laat Friday. It
waa a social occasion. Women in
filmy aummer dreaaea In the blazing
•unahine holding gaily colored para
eola and men In flannela huay with
luncheon baaketa awaited the arrival
of the Queen of the Belgiana and
Lord Allenby. It waa difficult to
realize that only • few yard* below
ground waa that dim, impresatve,
cave-like room In which the king atlTI
aleepii surrounded by the rrumhling
object* placed there by hia bereaved
auhiecta *o lone mi
A hundred cameras cl'cked as the
Queen and her ion, Prince Leopold
•tepped down into the dark punp
which opens inb> the first chamber.
They found themselves facing the
broken wall. Light* Rhone in the
mummy chamber and in the larger
room leading off it. Facing the
broken wall ia the door of the sar
cophagus which, when found Friday
was bolted and sealed. This was
'broken and the door opened.
Inside were the king's jewels
sparkling in the electric light as if
awakened after centuries to show their
beauty. There were a number of fine
scarabs—a symbol of resurrection.
Notable among these was a magnifi
cent red scarab inscribed with the
king's name. Near the sarcophagus
were several dark wooden objects, the
oar* of a sacred boat which the king
was expected to row about at night
and enjoy himself.
Most bewildering is the second
chamber with ita amacing confusion
of articles necessary for the welfare
of the royal soul in the other world.
Gilded chariots stand as if the horses
had just been unyoked and taken
to the stables. Several beautiful
curved boats, like quarter moons, one :
of them at least four feet long, stand
awaiting the moment when the soul
of their master calls the tittle model!
mariners to life and with magic words
tells them to sail out with him into|
the milky way, which, to the ancientj
Egyptians, was the heavenly Nile.
It is hoped the king's crown will j
be found in one of the sealed boxes in
the burial chamber.- In a locked cup-1
board in the annex to the chamber
were found two statues eight inches >
high of Tutenhamun standing on the |
back of lionesses. The statues are of
gold. The great canopy over the out
er sarcophagus bears an immense
gold serpent on top. The creature is
represented in the act of crawling,
with its head poised to strike.
One of the most curious discoveries
is a large stretcher of gilded wood
which I* the image of a gold or a
sacred boat carried on the shoulders
of priests. In the sand on the floor
was found a gold headed image of the
God Herat. Another remarkable
thing was a crepe-like black belt sewn
with little crsacent moons. It was
found shrouding the Inner coflln
Only one other resembling It wms aver

Ruin* of Anciant City Found
in South Amarica
Rwnni Airaa, Fab. M.—Diacovery
of a foaailixed human akull of tha
tartiary pariod waa announced today
by Dr. G. Wolf, who haa Juat returned
aftar two yaara of exploratiun In Pat
agonia on bahalf of La Plata mua
•um.
Dr. Wolf declared tha foaailiaation
waa that af a tartiary aandatona and
that thara waa no doubt K waa for
marly tha akull of a human baing,
not an accldantel formation.
Tha lowar Jaw ia miaalng, bat other

aya socket* and, what la itill mora
convincing, tha locket* of tha taath
in the uppar jaw, ara claarly defined.
The cranium ia lone and oval, and
sloping.
Dr. Wolf went to Patagonia pri
marily to study '.he language aru'
mythology of tha Indiana and found
the akull in poaacaaion of a white
aettler on the Andean alope who
picked it up aome yeara ago and kept
it aa a rurioaity, not realizing ita
scientific value.
He aaid he had left the foaall in tha
poaaaaaion of the aettler, whoae pro
party it waa, and that he had *ub
mittad data ther^un to La Plata mus
eum for auch action aa the muacum
care* to take to obtain it.
Tha acientiat alao announced the
dincovery of nilna of an ancient for
tified town in the heretofore unex
plored region north of Lake Cardiel,
in the territory of Santa Crux, which
he believea to be remnanta of a civ
ilization probably earlier than that
of the Peruvian Incaa.
Section* of -walla 46 feat km. height,
built of block* each of three cubic
feet, cut out of baaalt, are (till itand
ing. The wall* extend for a diatance
of IN) yard* between hill* which
serve aa buttraase*. Within are tha
ruin* of habitationa.
Dr. Wolf aaid the fact that the
walla contained archa* indicated that
their builder* had reached a compara
tively high itate of civilization and
intellectual attainment. The walla
were alao carved with at range hiera
tic inscription*.
ne noiea on* carving in wnirn ap
peared the representation of an ani
mal resembling the extinct glyptodon.
He roughly estimated the age of the
ruin* at from 2,000 to S,000 yean,
hut thought excavation* might more
definitely determine their age.
There have been other evidence* of
an ancient civilisation in Patagonia
but thia i* aaid to be the fint discov
ery of actual ruin*. Some diatance
further south he found what waa per
haps an ancient thoroughfare along
which for more than a mile the rocka
were covered with similar inscrip
tions.
After leaving his data with the
museum Dr. Wolf plans to return to
Patagonia nert month When he is to
search for the "enchanted city" of
Patagonia Indian mythology, sup
posed to be situated in the Andes.
Indians refer to as the home of the
Sun God, will prove to be the ruins of
another ancient city.

The moat important bill wai on*
that thia circuit felt like aa an organ
isation it could advocate, put acrosa
and get by with it in the future, yet
individually each fair secretary
thought the chances for finacial re
verses were too great for him to un
dertake it alone. Than too, they
thought that it was necessary for
some of tbe larger fairs to blase the
way and they took the initative. For
' a long time fair secretaries have ab
horred the increased gambling and
\ girt shows which have seemed to
thrive on fair grounds. One secre
tary would be glad to eliminate it
from hia midway, but he could not
alone take the risk of breaking his fair
financially by making a clean sweep.
So the N. C. Grand Circuit of Fair*
offered to the legislature and urged
the paaaage of bill that will entirely
eliminate all gambling and girl shows.
This organization felt like in taking
thia step that it was doing what all
of the fair secretaries in North Caro
lina wanted done. That they were
taking" a step .11 the direction of mak
ing the fairs a purely agricultural,
educational and entertaining proposi

cultural exhibits, horse races, free

which you can take your wife or your

Forty Deer Invade New York

Nyack, N. Y., Feb JS—Forty wild
deer from the hills laat night were
parked about the lawns, flower beds
and open spaces of Nyack, contently
chewing their cuds and ruminating
on the adventure- which Had brought
them within 45 mile* of Broadway.
Robert H. Drummond, superintendent

consumed most of the flowers and
shrubs than. Yesterday the usually
shy creature* remained on the out
skirts of Nyack, just 26 miles from
the heart of New York City.
Heavy snow* in the hills are be
lieved to have sent the deer down in

ORPHANAGES CARE FOR
2,940 CHILDREN
Arm Foread to Turn Awt)
More Than They Admit.
Kaleigh. Feb. 17.— In Dm 2ft orphan'
•en in North Carolina, 2.1»40 <lf
pendent i hiMn-n art being rarml foi
at prwwnt, according to a aurvey ol
theae particular Inatitutkina ju*t com
i pieted and made public today by th«
lata board tif charities and puhlu
vt-lfare. The raaults, which hari
(wen tabulated, giro a compr*hensiv<
view of how ths orphanage* arc meet
inir the problem of the dependent
child in thia *tata and form ■ baaii
of recommendations for improve
mrnta.
Thaaa figures do not represent hall
tha number of North Carolina da
pendant children, officials state. Bo
cauae of lack of room, the orphanagei
. are forced to turn away yearly mon
children than they can admit. Esti
mate* from reports filed with the de
partment places the total of thi
atata's dependent children at S,00<
"at the lowest."
A visit to every orphanage recentl]
was made by Miaa Mary U. Shotwell
of the bureau of child welfare, a pari
of the state board of charities aiM
public welfare. The administrate
and work of each was studied and i
full report written. To each superin
tendent waa aent a questionnaire deal
in* with five phases of institutional
management; administration, finan
ces, number of children received anc
dismissed, education snd physical
rare.
One thousand five hundred and
eighty-one applications were received
by the institutions of North Carotins
last year, according to the survey
while only 431 children were admit
ted. Of the Ml children dismissal
from orphanages durinr this period
"47 were graduated; 155 returned ti
relatives; SI placed in homes; 28 se
cured positions; 21 entered college;
27 ran away; three sent to Caswell
Training school; two died, and 11
were otherwise disposed of (no ex
planation of their disposition hav
ing been made by superintendents.)"
Of the 2,940 children now in or
phanages of the state, 2.80S were is
school last year, distributed from Ui<
first to the eleventh grade. It wai
found that there is "marked decrease"
in the number of children who are ui
grades higher than the sixth. Sil
institutions send their children to th«
public schools in tha community ir
which they are located. Three send
their high school pupils to the city
schools and two others receive sa
lary from the county for one or mon
teachers employed in the orphanagt
school. The number of volumes hi
the libraries of the orphanages rum
from 50 in the small home up to 3,
000 In the Isrger. making a total ol
15,069 in all the institutions, with •
total of 120 magaxines.
i ne esumateq value 01 orpnanagt
property in the ititt is $3,880,000, in
cluding 161 buildings and 1,176 acrei
of land. Last year 9904,495 was us
ed in caring for dependent children in
the orphanages. Of this amount, th«
churches and fraternal orders gav«
1748,909, the state $80,000 and indi
viduals $105,686. Improvement!
amounting to $242,388 are being
made at the institution."
The average annual per capHa
cost of earing for the children wai
$195, according to the tabulation.
Because of failure to meet state re
quirements it was necessary last yeai
for the board to close two child-car
ing institutions and to refuse to li
cense 10 organisations and indivi
duals wishing to receive children it
is stated.
A number of special features is
being worked out successfully at se
veral institutions. For example, one
orphanage is run entirely on tile cot
1 tago system, which provides every
thing from kitchen to dining room
to sleeping and play quarters, in as
perate units of from to to 90 child
ren, approximating as nearly as pos
sible the family home. Several oth
ers have a partial cottage system,
using cottages for small children,
but having a congregate dining rooms
for the older.
One of the beat features of sev
eral of the orphanages is the "home
like atmosphere" found in them, ac
cording to Miss Shotwell. In these
t ha children recognise the superin
tendent "la their friertd." Plans for
developing the initiative of the indi
vidual child are worked oat, prevent
ing, a* far as possible, the dangers of
" i nut it ut Realisation."
TJntil recently, it ia stated, there
was oaly one orphanage that seat its
, children to the public school* of tW
community. Th* child ran of this in
stitution do not know of any othor
plan, and their work, Miss Mhotwell
states. is "quite ri-msrkahie They
take part in all community activities '
and are considered a definite part of
th* town. Five othor institutions
now ars attempting this plan with
good (vaults. In sU or wre orphan
«*»«. children attend ehurrh and Sun- '
day srhool outside the institution.
"What dependent children nood is
exactly what all children nood," ac
cording to Miss Shot* IL "Every
child is a part of the family group
and should be so eonaidered. Any
I plan of child welfare that <loe* not
t-aks into consideration tho child'*
family background in planniag for
hi* training and protection la inade
quate."
On this baa is it is stated, th* *tete
board cite* severs! aims to bo attain
ed by child-caring institution* la
North Carolina, which include:
The cot tag* system.
An institutional visitor who shall
mak* a special study of each child
hfefore admission in order to bo satis
fied that every possible meaas of
keeping th* family together ha* been
exhausted and also to secure all avail
able knowledge concerning the child'a
family history and environment. The
visitor, in the judgement of the board
should also keep in touch with th*
children after they have heen placed
in new homes or returned to their
own.
"Bahy cottages," read* the report,
'should be used to keep a family of
children together, or for the tempo
rary care of children when there 1*
hope of restoring the family unit-"
Evtension of sge limit of sdmission
to orphsnages. Often, a child of this
age has lost both parents, either by
death or neglect, and since there in
no place to send him he runs th*
t hance of becoming delinquent.
A regular physical examination of
all children at the time of admission;
also at least annually during their
stay at the institution and before
their discharge. Th* state board re
command* that there be on file a oon
tinous health record of each child.
A teacher of home economic* to

IDAHO TO SELL WHITE
PINE LAND
SUt. Will Probably Obtain
$48,000,000 for 200.0C 0
Acre* of Tinibar
Spokane, Wuh., Feb. 18.—During
the put few month* special interest
hu been manifested by a number of
the largest lumber companies of the
United States in the white pine for- •
esta of the northwest. New mills are
being erected and new railroada are
being constructed into these areas. It
now det elopes that Idaho owns about
600,000 acre* of timber land in the
northern counties of the state, largely
white pine, 200,000 acres of which is
to be sold. It is estimated that this
tract contains 4,000,000 feet of lum
ber, which, at $12.40 per 1000 feat, the
price recently paid for another tract,
will net the state about $48,000,000.
The retail value of white pine lum
ber is usually $86 per 1000 feat in the
United States, making the ultimata
worth of this tract $360,000,000. Eu
ropean quotations on select gsadss of
white pine run from $190 to <160 par
1000 feet. Lumbermen estimate that
the milling coat, to be paid for labor
alone, will be at least $10 per 1000
feet, a total of $40,000,000.
The white pine tree does not usual
ly grow to enormous aise, like the
redwood trees of California, hot there
is an occasional white pine of marvel
ous dimensions. One tree of this va
riety milled in northern Idaho, waa
207 feet in length. 42S years old and
scaled 28,900 feat of lumber. The
timber- cruisers hare discovered on
this Idaho tract what is beliavad to
be the largest white pine tree hi the
world. It measuraa 7 feet and 4 te
ches in dismeter, four feet above Ha
base. Its age and length cannot ha
accurately determined until it has
been felled. The tree mentiosied
above measured 6 Net and 9 htchea hi
diameter at itn base.
