Ex- cavations in this region have been ystematically pursued for years - and this process which one witnesses many times on a day's sightseeing is al ways very interesting. It is carried on chielly through either funds sup- plied by the government, by private donations or by one of the several scien'ific societies interested in the wor The debris is usually carriea out in baskets supported on the heads ol gangs of Arab boys, who work for a piaster a day, besides what small relics, such as scarabs and beads, they find and surreptitiously carry away with them.

An attempt to deseribei the vastness of the ruins of the great temple of Karnak would be futile. Exvacations ave here still going on and while Karnak would be futile. Excavations of the temple still remain hali burned in the accumulation of past ages. At cacy of thosfour entrance gates stand high pylons. From these quadrelater- al 'monnments so characteristic of Egyptian temples stretched avenues of sphinxs. One led to the temple of Luxor and was guarded by a thou- salid of these mythivil stone images. Another led to the banks of the Nile and at present jg only partially exca- vated. The ibird and fourth avenues aro still almost wholly buried in sand aud as yet their terminations are mere matters of conjecture. Within the temple gate four Netre Dames could be placed side by side and there would still be room to spare. From this comparison those who have seen this great French cathedral can form some idea of ithe dimensions of the temple of Karnak. Statues innumer- able, some in almost: a perfect state of preservation have been found in and around this magnificent pile of ruins to describe which in detail would ro quire volumes. The inscriptions alone would fill many ordinary sized books. With this mere hint at tho vastness of Karnak Jet us proceed on the mor- row across the Nile to Thebes. An carly start 'is imperative, so' seven o'clock finds us mounted on our don: kevs and making for the native boat which ix to convey us over the river. These donkeys with their proverbial intelligence stop within a few feet of the boat and allow us to dismount. Then with a graceful bound thoy land safily aboard 'and stand closely along- side. We take up positions nearby and the native hoatmen push out info the stream. If thers sufficient wind a-going we sail, if not as in the pre sent case, we are rowed to the op- posite shore. In disembarking the 'donke, ys take the initiative and leap '0 the bank. We follow suit and begin our circuitous journey o! fifteen miles, which includes most of the attractions of the west shore. & Tombs Of The Kings. I will not stop to describe the score or more of temple tombs here for Thebes © was to Luxor and Karnak what Sakkarah was {0 Memphis, but take you at once to those moet wons derful of all of Egypt's sepulohres-- the Tombs of the Kings. Among tho desolate hills of the Lybian desert and far away from the green fields of the J Nile these royal tombs were hewn irom the very bowels of ihe carth. Here in the "Valley of Death" ware found the mummies to Seti 1 and the Rameses from the 1 to the IX, Thulmosis, Amco-Hetep 10, Thothmes 1V ane other rulers belong ging to these dynas- ties. Most of the mummies and sar- cophagi have been removed and distri- buted! among the world's great mu- seums. At the. Cairo museum I looked upon the well preserved features of Ramesis II. His hair, his nails and even his skin had apparently but litile changed in all these thousands of years. Vandalis sm; after all, is only a rela- tive term, for if the graves of our great and honored men were invaded by, a foreign nation and our presidents and kingy carried away and exposed in the public museums to the idle curiosity of the populace our indigna- tion would know no bounds. Yet we have thas despoiled thesgraves of the forefathers of the Es gyptians whose lineal descendants are pumerously re | presented to-day by the native eopts. How much more impressive would it while opposite in a separa sompart ment arc the remains of his wife, . and slave. A glass top has the grarite covering of le. Rameses, thus rendering the seena most realistic. Here in the heart of ia and Man of the pd ela sti 1 revealing the rich coloring of the a til chamber lies the onl Snly mig a of fe hilt vanished. The biaw plain rr for ye most par Sumtisg to dust, Yet its one time ruler Ss peal ly on. It seems a pity that even the re- quirements of scientific research should be considered a sufficient excuse to rob these royal tombs, for, after all, are they not sacrea, even as onr own? A Puzzling Question. As we reluctantly leave these heauti- ful chapels with their richly decorat- ed walls whose harmonious colors seem as bright as if laid on but yes- terday, another one of the many puz- zling questions that constantly sug- gest. themselves in 'connection with [o) gyptian antiquities comes prominent- ly to the fore. In this instance it is the lighting proposition, for here no lamps for the burning of oil, no pipes for the conveying of gas, ni the transmission of electricity have ever been discovered. No burning torch has left a trace of blackening smoke upon these tunnels or tombs and yet without the aid of some powerful ana smokeless light these delicate colors laid on with such minute exactness could never have heen aceomplished, located as are these vaults, hundreds 4 of feet within the mountain darkness. Was it radium ? Ah, the twentieth century bump of self-conceit must needs be woefully bruised here amid the ruins of the Valley of the Nile. I have merely' mentioned a few of Egypt's wonderful remains. Time will not permit me to more than name the famous Colossi of Thehes. Neither can I afford space for a description of the Ramesseum, the Temple of Krunah, the Temples of Medinet Habu and. a dozen others all in this vast plain and all most interesting, for the sun is sinking behind the purplish 'sands and the chill of the desert night comes on 'apace. But let us pause just for a moment to view the wonderful spee- tacle of a.sunset in the desert. The great disk falls = below the flowing lines of, the rounded hills and the whole western * sky is suffused in a rich mauve, while to the east all the heantiful blends of emeralds shade to a bright, deep green at the horizon. A moment more and the heavens become enveloped in a dull leaden glow. One experiences a 'feeling of disappoint- ment, for the suriset seems but mo- mentary. But wait, Ah, again the magic lamp of day reflects its splen- did colors in the vaulted dome. Great shafts of amber and topaz and ruby reach from the horizon to the zenith and blend and broaden till the sky is one great riot of rich suffusing colon This superb display pales to the most delicate tints and then again Grigh- tens to a glow of vividness. And sa as we watch the innumerable varia- tions of this desert sunset change to the star-studded dome of night we bid adieu to incomparable Ruypt, for in the morning we set our faces to- wards Jerusalem. --SIGEL - ROUSH.
