TOMBS OF OLD EGYPT. RECENT IMPORTANT DISCOVERIES AND BURIED TREASURES FOUND.

—, French Exploration of the “Black Pyra-

wids'’ of Dahchour~-The Jewel Box ofa

I'sincess—The Archewologistse Expect

Great Finds Before Long.

Since the commencement of the cen- tury, in Egypt, more than in any cther country, antiquaries and archeologists have dug and excavated .0 as to penetrate the mysteries of the history of the ancient races that peapled the land. The ground bas been turned over, more or less, in near ly every district, and many a hitherto for- | gotten town or city has been brought to | sight, so that we might say that little has been left undiscovered which was worth discovering in the country between Alex- andria and the cataracts on the Nile.

Of ail the places inthe Valley of the Nile, none has more often attrac.ed the at- tention of explorers than the tract of coun- try which lis been calied the Necropolis of Meinptis—that spot in the desert which the ancient inbabitants of Memphis chose #8 a site for the tombs of their rulers, and Where the Kings of the encient dynastics erected the pyramids which were to contain their mortal remains. In spite of their efforts to hide the actual po-iiion in each instance of the chamber containing the cofiin, the iaconociastic explorer of this and other centuries hs discovered them in the majority of cases, a:.d the tombs have been rifled of their treasures. Many of the pyramids, as we ali know, have con- tained objects of historical value, which have enabled areheeviogisis to make dis- coveries of the greatest importance, while rome cf the other ancient mouuments have hitherto added little of any value to the student ot Eyyptolegy.

Until recently the two brick pyramids of Dahchour (or Dashoor) might have been included among the monuments which were full of mystery, and which had hitherto not euriched the stores of the hineteeuth century knowledge. These pyram ds are cailed by the Arabs the black pyramids, and they have excited the curi- ority of travelers from the time of Here- cotus, who said of them that they were even more mysterious than their sisters, the stone pyramids. At one time these lrick } yiamids had an outer covering of Sien., but this was taken away by a well- kuown Egyptian conqueror, the famous Sesustrix, who did not hesitets to denude these pyramids of their carved stone fac- ings so as to enrich and enlarge tne beauti- ful temple of Ptale at Memphis. To-day the pyramids are little better than shape- iss wounds, although a. close inspection shows how well cach pile had originally veen constructed, and of what good ma- terial it had been composed, to stand so long after being deprived of its protecting stone covering.

So carly as the year 1836, Mr. Perring, who had been sent out on behalf otf the British Museum, had attempted to cut his way into the more northerly of the two brick pyramids, but without result. The Eyyptian Government department, which concerus itself with the discovery and pre- servation of Eyyptian autiquities, a de- partinent founded by the French savant, M. Mariette, the discoverer of many of the Memphis remains, has made several at- teinpts to probe the depths of the mystery of the ‘*black pyramids,” and in 1884, under the direction of Mr. Maspero, an ex- cavation on au unusually large scale was commenced on the north side of the larger pyramid. It was expected that the secret entrance to the innermost chambers would soon be reached, The work was continued tur two years and was then given up.

The new director of the department, Mr. T. de Morgan, being satisfied that the efforts of Lis predecessors had not been properly dir:cted, determined to make a fresh attack on this mysterious and im- pregnabie fortress of the dead. So in February this year he established himself at Dahchour, and shortly after his arrival some Lundreds of fellahs were engaged to make excavations, The men dug the sand and filed the baskets for the women and children to carry off, the whole crowd singing all day long their peculiar songs, of which the words vary but seldom and the tune never. Mr. de Morgan com- menced by excavating the tombs situated round the pyramid, by which he was en- abled to make researches proving the period to which the tombs, as well as the pyramids, belonged. These tombs were the burial places of the richest of the in- habitants of- Memphis who lived in the reigns of the kings who built the pyramids; the better class of people, and the cour- tiers, being able to afford to be buried close to the burial place of the kings. About thirty mastabas, as these tombs are called, were laid bare, among them being the sepuletres of several grand court fune- tionaries known to students of ancient his- tory, snch as Khnoum-Hotep, Nehasi, and Ont Khent-Khiti, All the thombs were built on the same simple principle, each being covered by a mass of stone masonry ornamented on the sides with sculpured funereal figures, while in each case the en- trance to the tomb was from the north, whence a passage led to a pit more or less deep in which the sarcophagua bad been deposited, This was, of course, the mode of bnrial in vogue up to and including the Twelfth Dynasty. Among the royal names on some,of the thombs were thore of Osirtasen IL, Osirtasen IIL, and Amen- «mba IIL, the pricipal monarchs of that dynasty.

As a result of his researches Mr, de Morgan was able to prove that the large pyramid was built on a plan similar to the sinall tombs for he set his men to dig care- tully all along the northern base of the pyramid inside the outer surrounding wall, until one day his enterprise and pa- tience were rewarded by the discovery of an entrance to a pit, in which was an open- ing leading to a tortuous, narrow passage, At the end of this passage was s tomb with a rifled sarcophagus—trifled by the spoli- tors of a bygone age, perhaps in the time of the Romans. This sarcophagus cham- ber led to a gallery about 120 yards long. fhe pit by which entry had thus been ob- tained into the pyramid was evidently not the true and original entrance, but a pit made ty the people who had rifled the tomb cf its treasure. The difficulty now vas to find the proper doorway. And th's was all the more necessary sineei: was found impossible to remain inside the gal- lery without being suffocated, and an open- ing near the other end of this gallery would establish some ventilation which would enable the workers to carry on their explorations, At length the proper en- tance was found, It led to twelve vaults, more or less spacious, of which the con- t nts—earcophagi, offerings, canopies, car- pets, ete. —had been stolen or rifled at some rmote period. Mostof the objects left tehind eontained no inseriptions; but che few hieroglyphics remaining showed that

BTies of princesses, aud among them ac- tually the ccftin of the Queen Nofert-Hout, and the cvflin of the royal daughter Ment- Sent-SenLetes.

But the discovery that placed the date of these burials as having taken place in the middle of the medium or middle em- pire, during the time of the 10 t power- ful dyasty of that period, was made a few Mr. de Morgan was carefully cleaning the floor of the passage when he discovered, under the spade of one of his assistants, a hiding place scarcely covered by the sand, and which had not been noticed by those robbers of bygone days who had rifled the tombe. In this secret receptacle was a little wooden box, quite rotten, filled with jewels of marvelous wo.kmanshiy. Tois box was carefully couveyed to the museum of Gizeh. The principal jewel was a breastpiece of gold, encrusted with precions stoues of remark- able beauty and of very fine workmanship. On this was depicted two eagles guarding the tomb of Oxirtasen I. The rest of the jewelry consisted of necklaces, bands, bracelets, and scores of varivus little trinkets.

The following day the explorers brought to light, close to the sarcophagus of au- other princess, a still larger box of jewels, of which the principal were two breast- plates, on which are inscribed the names Osirtasen Ill. and Amenemha LIL, while around the names the enemies of these two kings are depicted being thrown to the gronnd,

Encouraged by these finds, the explorers continued their researches, but as yet the vault, containing the mummy of the kifig for whom the pyramid was constructed, bas not been discovered, Success will, Lowever, probably crown Mr. de Morgan’s efforts, which have been delayed by the mass of debris caused by the former exca- Vators,

Since the discovery of the great subter- Tanean passage, several other pits have been cleared of sand, but none has given any interesting result. Two fine sarco- phagi, made of alabaster, have, however, been found,

In the meantime, at the other brick pyramid, situated nearly two miles to the south of the first, some important work is being carried on, This pyramid is not nearly in so good a state of preservation as the northern one. Here the work was commenced on the 6th of last April, and a reries of excavations have been made along the north side, as ir the case of the prev:- ous pyramid. Some of the discoveries already made will be of great scientific value. ‘The first waa the tomb of a king whose name has hitherto been unknown in the compiled lists of Egyptian monarchs. This king’s name is Hor Rafou-ab, and his place is at the end of the ‘I'welfth Dynasty, ‘Lhe tomb also contained a wooden coffin, covered with bands of geld engraved with hieroglyphics, and a statue made of acacia wood, and representing the king. This coffin stood close by and is ornamented similarly to the real coffin, Hieroglyphics cover the gold bands. The statue, which is almost life-size, represents a young man of extraordinary beauty, and is a wonder- ful example of Egyptian art; in fact, it throws quite a new hyht on the art of the period,

‘be next vault had been left intact, and was found just as the mourners left it thousands of years ago, with the funeral offerings surrounding the sarcophagus. A princess had been buried here. Her uame was Nonb-Hotep, and in the coffin were enclosed jewels of great interest, consisting of necklaces, bracelets, anklets, and other trinkets, A scourge was also in the coffin,

This is how matters stand at Danchour. The two pyramids have not yet altogether disclosed their secrets, but M. de Morgan is quite justified in expecting that success will crown his well-directed labors. The value of these latest researches can, of course, hardly be estimated as yet.

Largest, Deepest, Highest,

The largest bronze statue in the world is that of Peter the Great, at St. Petereburg, Russia; weight 1100 tons.

The greatest bee owner on earth is Har- bison, of California, who owns 6000 hives.

The Czar of Russia holds the largest individnal] estates, 100,000,000 acres.

The deepest hole ever bored into the earth isan artesian well at Pesth, Huon- gary, which was driven to a depth of 8140 feet.

The largest flower is the ‘‘Rafflesia,” (named iu hovor of Sir S. Raffles), which is anativeofSumatra. The diameter often exceeds nine feet.

The Mordella beetle has the greatest number of distinct eyes, a single specimen possessing as many as 25,000 facets of vision in his compound eye.

The laryest bird’s nest is that built by the Australian jungle fowl, usually about poeny feet in diameter and fifteen feet high.

The greatest height ever attained by balioonists was by Coxwell and Glaisher, who reached an altitude of 37,000 feet. They made the ascent from Covent Gar- den, London, in 1862.

Sweet Woman's Way.

“Good morning, Mr. Dolyers.”

“Good morning, Mr. Trivvet What can I do for you to-day?”

‘Well, the fact is, Mr. Dolyers—I—I—I —er, your daughter referred me to you, sir.

“Oh, she did, did she?” snorted the

pa. ‘Well, all I’ve got to say is that

’m getting tired of this referring vusi- ness. You are the fourth that she has sent to ine in the last ten days, I'll pute stop to it. I'll teller that if she hasn't enough nerve to do her own rejecting, I'll accept the very next dude that she un- loads on me in this way, and make her marry him, When the fellow comes along that she wants she'll accept him without taking the old man into consideration, and I don’t propose to be made a scapegoat any—-— Well, I declare, if the chap didn’t actually walk off before I got done telling him what I had to say.”

Mr. Dolyers resumes his work of cutting off coupons.

As for Mr. Trivvet, he never came back.

Odd Feat of Endurance.

A feat of endurance, unique in its way, was performed at the Aldershot Gymnasi- um yesterday, when Tom Burrows, the champion Indian club wielder and axe thrower of England and Australia, easily beat the previous best record of club swinging. He started at 7.24 a m. and kept up the exercises without a single check of either hand for eight hour« and fifteen minutes. The ciubs weighed two pounds and two ounces each. He was fed during the day by his confrere, Tom Wil- liams. Col Fox, Army Inspector of Gymnasia, was chief referee, assisted by other officers. —London Telegraph.

Origin of Rosebery’s Title.

It appears from some family remintie- cences cf Lord Rosebery recently publish- ed that the title Rosebery was borrowed from Yorkshire. The first lord married an heiress trom Rosebery Topping, in the broad-acred shire, and when he was en- nobled he took the name of the place for his title. —Westminster Gazette.
