O"? : .TUTS DAZZLING COFFIN AMAZE* ITS BEHOLDERS Resplendent In B'ne and Gobi, Pharoah’s t Shrine Banishes Presence of Death. j Luxor. Egypt, Dec. 19.—A1l precon ceived ideas of Tutankhamen's golden ! shrine were npset by the sight of this impressive -coffin, for the first time dis closed in almost its full proportions by the removal of the partition wall, when I a correspondent visited the tomb this I morning. | ! The first impression of the gigantic receptacle for the dead, its sides re-1 splendent with decorations of blue and i gold, set against a background of bright- ' ly colored paintings on yellow, was al-1 most overwhelming. The feeling was of something incredibly bizarre—some-, thing that seemed utterly to banish the, presence of death in this casket of won- ] I derfnl artistry. j One of the first details to catch the eye was the fact that the golden lid lof the canopy does not, as one imagined I from the view obttnined from the open ing in the wall, slope down from one end to the other. 'lt rises again at the ; other end. giving a graceful curved effect | which is declared by competent nuthori jty to be unique in Egyptology. The lid is -not solid, but hollowed out. roofing over a space of about four feet between j the first and second shrines. In this space the correspondent was able tol see—for the doors of the first shrine had been removed—a remarkable species of wooden rack or scaffolding, erected go carry the immense golden spangled linen pall, resting over the sec ond shrine. It is very much like open , wooden cage-work and is painted a glis tening black, with heavily gilded, carved feet. In the front, wlipre the removal of the doors of the first shrine renders! it clearly visible, it is seen to be made of two parts, rather awknrdly bolted to-1 getlier with two large bolts, probably I wooden. From the top hangs the ragged | edge of the pall, turned blnckish brown ! by age, showing where the part which concealed the doors of the second shrine had broken away. This part of the pall, except for a small piece crumbling on the ground, lias already been removed to the nearby laboratory. The golden rosettes, about the size of a half-dollar, with which the pall is abundantly spangled, still sparkle in the rays of the powerful arc lights used by the excavators. These rosettes are per- i tanly metal, but probably not gold— more likely gilded copper. Behind the rack, the golden doom of . the second shrine glisten dully, the two. bolts, one above and one below, still sternly guarding the secret tomb. lu the middle, set in either batten of the doors are two metal rings, set into the wood side by side, to which were 1 attached seals, which Howard farter, di- 1 recting the excavating work, had pre- f viously removed. The doors are cm- 1 . glSyed ■JElflfwfWtai'dtpiv »lumel«A ftriMMrr] riie xftititdcc while above therti is the projecting gold- J en lintel of the second shrine, which is' ' about seven feet high. I * What impresses dne more than any- \ 1 thing else in the intriguing, festive airij of this resplendent sepulchre are the i * interior decorations of the walls of the 1 shrine. These. are chiefly golden, in- | scribed with endless line* of hieroglyph ics with figures of birds, flowers and 1 animals, set in a triple frame of broad, black lines.

Harrisburg, Dec. 19.—1 n an effort to reduce the number of accidents to pe- , destrians on the public highways of this state, the Pennsylvania Motor Fed eration is urging publicity for the* re commendation of the American Automo bile Association that persons on the highway, especially at night, face the traffic by walking on the left hand side of the road. The national association has reached the conclusion, after a study of the sit uation, that most of the casts when au tomobiles strike pedestrians at night are. due to the driver being partially blinded by the headlights of approaching cars and. swinging to the right, failing to see pedestrians. It is contended that if persons walking on the roads wriuld face the traffic they would be better able to I avoid being struck and also would be seen much sooner by the drivers of ears approaching in the opposite direction.
