EGYPTIAN TREASURE
Tomb of King Thothmes IV. Discov
ered by American Explorer.
Chariot Used by the Haler of Kaypt
4,000 Year* Atro Together with
Other Valuable Hello* Found
In large Chamber.
An investigation of the tomb of
King Thothmes IV., near Thebes, in
which the splendid chariot was
found by Mr. Davis, an American, has
revealed many interesting features.
Around the large chamber, in which
there is a magnificent granite sar
cophagus, covered with texts from
the “Book of the Dead,” are smaller
chambers. The floor of one of these
is strewn with mummified loins of
beef, legs of mutton, and trussed
ducks and geese, offerings made to
the dead king nearly 4,000 years ago.
Clay bearing the king’s name
are attached to the doors of the
chamber. These indicate that the
Egyptians of the eighteenth dynasty
to some extent anticipated the in
vention of printing, the raised por
tions of the seals having been
smeared with a blue tint befor- the
clay was Impressed. The walls of one
chamber are adorned with paintings.
There is also an inscription stat
ing that the tomb was plundered by
robbers In the eighth year of llorem
heb, but was restored as far as pos
sible by the reigning Pharaoh. It
was doubtless then that the jewelry
buried with Thothmes was stolen.
The floor of this chamber is covered
with vases and dishes and other ob
jects, nearly all of which were wan
tonly broken, opparently by the rob
bers. Some had been rejmired.
There was also a piece of textile
fabric in which hieroglyphics of vari
ous colors are woven with such won
derful skill as to present the ap
pearance of painting on linen.
The great find, however, is the
chariot. The body alone remains, but
this is in perfect condition. The
wooden frame was first covered with
papier mache and this with stucco,
which is carved into scenes from the
battles which Pharaoh fought in
Syria. Every detail is exquisitely fin
ished, the whole being one of the
finest specimens of art preserved
from antiquity.
With the chariot, was found a leath
er gauntlet which protected the
king’s hand and wrist when he used
a bow or the reins.
TO START BRIQUETTE WORKS.
Machinery Hein* Ilouuht In Germany
for Manufacture of lie Ue.ponUn
of lilvulte In North Dakota.
William De Labarre, director of the
Washburn-Pillsbury mills, Minneap
olis, is in Magdeburg, Germany, buy
ing machinery for the briquette
works that W. D. Washburn intends
to build at Bismarck, N.D. Briquettes,
which are fuel made from lignite, are
widely used in Germany. It is esti
mated that 55,000 square miles of lig
nite underly the Dakotas and Mon
tana, while another wide belt ex
tends through the gulf states from
Florida to Texas. German geologists
have long believed that the Amer
ican cities would solve, the smokeless
fuel question by the use of briquettes.
President Francis, of the St. Louis
exposition, during his short stay
here, accumulated papers and other
information on the subject with the
view to the introduction of briquettes
at St. Louis. He took with him sev
eral sample briquettes made from
Dakota lignite sent to the German
works by Mr. Washburn.
BRITISH ARMY AND NAVY.
Estimates for tke Next Yr' E*-
prnori Placed at the Enormous
Sum of M,000,000 Pounds.
Mr. Brodrlck wants £34,500,000
sterling for the army next year. Lord
Selborne requires the same amount
for the navy. The army estimates,
says the New York Tribune’s London
representative, have never been ap
proached except in time of war, and
navy estimates, which exceed the cur
rent year’s figures by £3,500,000 ster
ling, have broken all records. John
Bright once said that a government
which could not rule the United King
dom on £70,000,000 sterling a year
should be turned out of office. The
army and navy alone will cost almost
this sum for the ensuing 13 months,
and the total uutionbl expenditure
will reach £150,000,000 sterling. The
outlook for the British taxpayer is
gloomier than ever.
TWO GIFTS TO HARVARD.
Scholarship la Memory of Kornw
Student Established, and a Mem
orial Fuad to Car* for Sick.
Two gifts have been announced for
Harvard which are unique in the his
tory of the university.
The first gift is from Mrs. John
Markoe, of Philadelphia. It consists
of $5,000 to found a scholarship in
memory of her sou, James Markoe, a
member of the class of ’B9, who lost
his life recently trying to save the
lives of others in a runaway acci
dent.
The second gift is from Miss
Agatha Schurz and Miss Marianne
Schurz, of New York city, and con
sists of $3,000 ix> establish the Her
bert Schurz memorial fund for the
care of needy students at the Still
man infirmary.

The unscientific mind, says tire Chi

the secret of life ever will be discov
ered with the microscope.

NEW PLAN TO RUN CARS.
km Engllih Inventor Appllen the
Wlrelee* Theory to Motors and
Claims Success.
Thomas H. Williams, a civil en
gineer of London, already known for
several electrical inventions, claims
he preceded Braun, of Strausburg, in
applying etheric waves to driving mo
tors unconnected with any source of
supply; in other words, propelling
motors by wireless telegraphy.
Mr. Williams Bays he has been
working ou the invention since 1898.
He says:
"My system, a?, tested, consisted of
a high frequency alternating electric
generator from which energy is dis>
charged into space.
"There is no connection whatever
between the motor and the genera
tor. The motor is attached to a
model ear, which is arranged to run
on a. circular railway, the transmit
ter being in the center. One termin
ator of this generator is attached to
the transmitter and tlie other is con
nected with the earth.
"The model car is provided with a
collector, by means of which the
etheric waves* or rays, are picked up.
This collector is connected with the
motor through the medium of a spe
cially devised transformer, whereby
the etheric energy is transformed in
to essential electro-motive force for
operating the motor, the earth circuit
being completed through the rails,
and the wheels of the model ear.”
Mr, Williams expects to apply his
system to railways as well as to
road-motor traffic from central gen
erating stations, but be Is. not yet
wholly satisfied that danger might
not result from nu atmosphere to
heavily charged with electricity.
FINDS PNEUMONIC SERUM.

Prof. Guido Tizzonl, of the Bologna
university, has discovered a serum
which is said to render pneumonia
comparatively harmless, depriving it
of its dangerous character. Experi
ments on strictly scientific lines
prove it one of the most important
medical discoveries of recent years
and one likely to lower materially
the death rate in all countries.
Prof. Tizzonl had already discov
ered the curative serum of tetanus, or
lockjaw.
lie was born in Pisa in 1853, took
his M. 1). at Naples university, stud
ied under the great German patholo
gists Sehron and Virchow and was
appointed to the chair of pathology
at Catania, whence in 1880 lie wzuit
in tlie same capacity to Bologna.
Tizzonl is also iwi ardent politician

Happily, there never arose an occa
sion to use the fort for warlike pur
poses, nnd it became but a trading
post, says George 11. Daniel’s Four-
Track News.
There was signed here, in 1831, the
treaty by which the Sac nnd Fox In
dians agreed to remove to the lowa
aide of the river, and leave the vil
lage on the banks of Hock river,
which they had occupied so long. The
fort was 400 feet square, nnd having
access to water, nnd carrying a large
supply of food, was equipped for a
long siege.
There now remains nothing of it.
Two cannon pointing down the river
have been the only things to mark
the spot where it stood till two
years ago. when the Daughters of
the American Devolution erected a
monument there.
