Relsner, professor of Egyp tology at Harvard and director of the Harvard university-Boston Museum of Fine Arts Egyptian exposition I definitely establishes the tomb Just discovered by the expedition uear the Glza pyramids as being some 1,700 years older than the tomb of Tut Ank^-Amen and of a period of whlcfc little has been discovered heretofore. The cable was from Alan Rowe, | chief assistant of the expedition, an Australian who has been working with Doctor- Relsner for three years. Dated About 3,000 B. C. The text of the cable, as extended by Doctor Itelsner, was made public as follows: "The new tomb reported from the excavations of the Harvard-Boston ex pedition nt Olta Is the only Important Intact tomb yet found previous to Dynasty VI. It 1b to be dated to the time of King Seneferu, the first kin* of Dynasty IV, the predecessor of Cheops, that Is, a period of 100 years up to about 3000 B. C. "The new tomb Is situated about 100 meters due east of the great pyra mid of ('hoops. During the final clear Ing of the rock surface a patch of white plaster was noted which covered masonry consisting of massive blocks laid In plaster. On removing the pias ter a stairway was disclosed filled with blocks of stone, ulso laid In plaster. Find Alabatter Sarcophagus. "At 8 meters down the shaft a closed recess was found In the shaft wall which consisted of a bull's heart and legs, matting and pots. At 20 1 meters the top of the burial chamber was reached on the south side of the shaft. The bottom of the shaft was reached at 80 meters. "On removing the top course of stone In flip masonry block which closed the door of the luirl:i! chamber the chamber was seen to be about 1** feet long by 12 feet wide. Inside w?? an alabaster sarcophagus Intact and on the coll'm lay an elaborate woven gold mot with a line of Incised hiero glyphics. giving the name Nehti-Sene feru? 'Vrttfch scorns tri be the nalnA erf the person buried !n the coffin. The name indicates that she was a lady, probably a princess. "The posts of the sarcophagus nre sheathed In gold and the floor of the chamber Is covered with vessels of bronze and af.thaster nnd a quantity of gilded wooden furniture which 1? in bad condition. "This tomb Is not that of either Seneferu or Cheops. It was In exist ence when the first pyramid nt (3!za, that of Cheops, was built, and the su perstructure of the tomb must have h-en cleared a way by the architects of Cheops when they hullt the causeway which led from the valley to the tem ple In front of the Cheops pyramid. The tomb Is to be dated probably to the reign of Seneferu." Whale Wrecks $5^009 Fish Nets Off Alaska Cordova, Alaska. ?

Few People Really Not " Marrying Type" j "I doubt If Lucy will marry; she la ' not of the n; rr; tig tvpe." "(if - nurse John will not marry ; il is linpous.i.le j to Imagine him as a husband." These are the remarks that most of us lu'M' made sometimes of certain of \ our friends. It Is taken for grunted thai I. ivy. happy In her work, a delightful frlond with many Interests, has decided that marriage Is not for her; that J?hn, a pleasant person, popular with men as well as with women, enjoy* being a bachelor. We believe that the"* are ce^aln people who ml:ht even he sprrTTed by marriage, and It Is always with sur prise, and occasionally with a little re gret, that we hear that, sfter all. they Intend to embark upon the great ad venture. Are there any men. any women, of whom It can be accurately said that they do not belong to the marrying type? Behind the "I am really rather Clad I am not married" of the spinster, or the "I think perheps It Is n good thing 1 did not marry" of the bachelor the penetrating observer may detect a little wlstfulness. The brave gayety of the unmarried woman, the philo sophical Indifference of the unmarried man. may conceal a sense that the sweetness of life has not been fully ex pi-rienct'd. --Sarah Speed.
