On Feb. 6a discovery was made in the oecropolis of Thebes second only in import- ance to the discovery of the royal mummies at Dehr-el-Bahari by M. Maspem in 1881. About half a mile from Debr-el-Bahari a pit has been found containing several hundred magnificent mummies. These, like the royal mummies, hadevidentl been removed from the tomb and concealed in this recep- tacle. as a pmcaution, b the servants of the priests, probably at t e same time and for the same reason which caused the royal mummies to be placed in the receptacle where they were found by M'Maspero. This can oval is believed by M. Mupero to ~have taken place in the reign of Aauputh, son of Shana: , of the twenty-second dynasty (circa 566 B. C. The coilius 'therto found all belong to the twenty-firstd and are those of the priests of Ra-Amun ' their families. The pit is about forty-five feet in depth, at the bottom of which are two corridors filled with cofiins and treasures of every description. In the lower cornerâ€"which as yet has only been exploredâ€"it is com ut- ed that there are some two hundred co ‘ns, and the second corridor is believed to be not less extensive. ‘ The shaft is forty~five feetdeep, its mouth is about twelve feet in diameter, and its sides are of rough limestone. One oft M. 'Grebaut’s native assistants, who was super- intending the work of haulin up the mum- my cases, told me that he h been the first actually to enter the‘ corridor where the mummies andtreasures lie. The shaft had «then been excavated only as deep as the mouth of the corridor, and he crept in on his hands and knees and stood on what he describes as being like a place of enchant- uncut; The corridor, he said, is some ten or twelve feet high and 250 feet long. It runs in a northerly direction from the shaft toward the Theban hill. At the end there is a short corridor branching from it at right ‘ «angles, and at some height above the floor at the end is the entrance to asecond very long corridor full cf treasures, which has been scaled up for the present by M. Grebaut. Grou s of mummies are placed at inter- vals in milies. The number in each groud varies from two to six or sevenâ€"father, mother and children-snd around them ex- quisitely arranged, are vases, models of houses, models of dahabiehs, cases and boxes full of ushabits, statuettes and every con- ceivable treasure of ancient Egypt. With- out even a speck of dust upon them, this "profusion of treasures had remained unlock- ed at, by any eye for nearly 3,000 years. He said that photographs had been taken of the place in its undisturbed state, which he declared to be that of a perfectly kept and well arranged musum. . SINGING SANDS. tropic Mystlllcd Until the Music was Traced to [is Source. . One of the most remarkable natural curi- osities ever heard of has just been discover- ed in Flint Hills, Kan. A long reach of country in that section is composed of sand beds and hills covered with small particles of lliutinterspersed with some larger rocks. It is utterly barren. A roadpasses through the desolate tract, but it is travelled only when the people are in a hurry, for it is hard on man and beast. About two months ago the people were surprised by several slight earthquake shocks. The tremblings continued for several days. A few nights after the earth- 7 quake people at the farm of Jasper Newton, on the edge of Flint Hills, “ thought they heard the sound of music, and got up to see who was playing at that time of night. The sound rose and fell in regular cadence, but they could distinguish no tune. It had more of the sound of an zeolian harp than of any other instrument. They listened for some time, but as the music neither advanced concluded that it must carried by a peculiar Condition of the atmos. p ere. ‘ The next night the music came again, only it seemed to be louder and nearer. So loud was it that Mr. Newton could distin- guish the fact that it came from the direc- tion of the sand hills. Thenext night there was a heavy rain‘storm, and the music did not sound for several nights afterward. Then came a dry spell of a week, and one evening as the family was sit- ting in front of the house the sweet strains wsrcheard again, only they were not so loul as formerly and appeared to be at a much greater distance. As the dry weather continued the sounds became louder and no Ii or every night. ‘ At last it was determined to solve the mysteryif possible, and a arty of youn [ieoplc set out for the Flint ills determine to camp out all night and see what it was that caused the sounds. The first night they cam ed about the centre of the waste Sgt-1:. A ter darkness came they quieted doc-u and soon the sweet sounds were heard ' faiiizly in the direction of Newton's house. pliycd upon them by some one at Newton‘s, Inc. the same strain continued with no varia- tnu of strength all night lon . Then they Il‘uhk‘il their cam nearer to t it: edge of the barren place, an that night the music ap- pearcl to come from a spot about ahuiidred yards from them. The sound did not seem any louder than when heard at the house of Newton, but it was clearer and more dis- tine: One of the part ' went out to investigate, and as he was \vnlhing about the music sud- denly stopped. He stood still for some time, but not asound came. Then he walked away, and had when he heard the music behind him. Re- trscmg his stops, it stopped again, but as he walked on it started up. He then mark- ed the sand with a stick and went back to the tent. Next mornin the investigated the place where the stic ha been placed and found that itwas almost gone. At the spot where it had been placed the sand was working as if something underneath was boiling. It bubbled and worked in concen- tric circles and evidently caused the music by the rubbing together of the rticles during the curious phenomena. Yhen it rained the wet sand would emit no sound.

Extraordinary Precautions Again“ Dia- mond Robberies- Lord Randolph Churchill says the annual . loss sustained by the De Beer’s Company, I gone but a short distance‘ [through their diamonds being ), stolen by cent. " To check this loss extraordinary precautions have been resorted to. The natives mengaged for a period of three months, dnrin which time they are confined in a compoun surrounded by a high well. On returning from their day's work they have to strip of their clothes, -which they, hang on pegs ina shed. Stark naked they then prowed to the searching room, _whei_-e their mouths, their hair, their toes, their armpits, and every portion of their body inflim‘ “"1 “hen” is {mm m “15 PerIEnally invited the little man to leave the are subjected to an elaborate examination. rocess, but the native sustains the inujg. nity with cheerful equanimity, considering only the high wages which he earns. After pausing through the searching-room they pass, still in a state of nudity, to their apartments in the compound, where they find blankets in which to wrap themselves for the night. During the evening the clothes which they have left behind them are carefully and minuter searched, and are restored to their owners in the morning. The precautions which are taken a few days before the natives leave the compound, their engagement being terminated, to recover diamonds whichtheymay haveswallowed,are more easily imagined than described. In addition to these arrangements, a law of exceptional rigour punishes with great severity illicit iamond buying, known in the slang of South Africa as I. D. B. -ism. Under this statute the ordinary presumption of law in favour of the accused disappears, and an accused person has to prove his inno- sauce in the clearest manner instead of the accuser having to prove his guilt. Sentences are constantly passed on persons convicted of this ofi'ence rangin from five to fifteen years. It mustbea mitt-ed that this tre- mendous law is in thorough conformity with South African sentiment, which elevates I. D. B.-ism almost to the level, if not above the level, of actual homicide. If a man, walking in the streets or in the precincts of Kimberley, were to find a diamond, and were not immediately to take it to the registrar, restore it to him, and to have the fact of its restoration registered, he would be liable to a punishment of fifteen years’ penal servitude.” ‘- White men would never submit to such a! A HOME FOR. MONKEYS. 'thrc These Connecting Links May Be Car-ed For and Bred. A man of' large means who resides in Washington has recently declared his inten- tion, privately, to devote $100,000 to a very ori inal purpose. V file idea is that no satisfactory opportun- ity has ever been afforded for the develop- ment of the intellect of the brute. Intelli- gence, like bodil qualities, is susceptible of improvementt rough breeding, as every one knows who has thought about the evolution of the dog from the wolf by arti- ficial selection. This rich' man proposes that monkeys or apes shall be taken as subjects for experiments simply because man understands those animals better than he does others. Let fifty of them, half males and half females, be placed in a paddock, suit- ably provided with separate quarters for the sexes. Then have them breed,_pair by pair, as shall be directed by those who superin- tend. Some of them will develop certain- abilitics more , conspicuously than others. For example, certain individuailswill exhibit asupcrior understanding of the commands addressed to them, or will show a greater dexterity in the handling of objects. Those which appear stupid are to be expelled from the colony their places being filled by fresh recruits. When a male and a female are found who exhibit the same sort of apti- tude in any direction, they are to be mated. This process, carried on for generations, would necessarily result in the development of superior characters,until finally, after the lapse of twenty-five years perhaps, there would almost certainly be had apes or monkeys far higher in the scale of reason than any known up to the present time. _ ._-_,_.___.___.
