We are now able writes Prof. Flin-
ders Petrie in the London Times to
trace out the regular development of
the civilization during some 400 years
—from the time when writing was but
rarely used. apd then only in a rude
and picttirial stage down to the com-
mon use of delicately figured hiero-
glyphs indistitiguishable from those
used for thousands of years aft eg.
We have now in our hands the beau-
tifully wrought jewelry and gold work.
Ilie minutely engraved ivories The
toilet objects of -Menes the founder
of the monarchy and his shecemior
fashioned more '.han 6500 years agn.
Of Menes anil Ills predecessors there
are about 30 imcriptions and labels in
stone and ivory. From these we learn
certninly the names of three kingn—
Narmer Ka ami a name writren with
ft tisli aign. I'erbans also Det and Ssm
afe two other names but they are
more probably sign words.
Among these works of Menes are
parts of four elmny tablets with fig-
ures aad inscriptions one amnirently
showings human sacrifice. Thestran-
ges» object is u massive st rip of gold of
unknown use. -with the name o{ Menes
(Aha) upon ft.
Of Zer the successor of MefrrtC the
astonishing find is the forearm of his
queen still in its wrappings with four
aplendid bracelets intact. One ia a se-
ries of figures of the royal hawk
perched on the tomb 13 figures Incast
and chafed gold alternating with 14
carved in turquoise.
The second bracelet is of spiral
beads* of gold and laznH in Tl|rce
groups. The third bracelet Is of
groups of hour-glass beads ametlkvst
between gold with connections of £old
and turipioiffe. The fourth has a een-
terpiece of gold copied from the ro-
sette seed of a plant with amethyst
Hirqn<Mse'beads and bands oftirefded
gold wire.
This brilliant and exquisitely fin-
ished group of jewelry shows what a
high level was already attained at the
beginning of the first dynasty. It is
2.000 years older than the jewelry of
Dashur the oldest yet known and it
has the great advantage of being.vare-
fully examined as found and residing
in its exact arrangement. .

That Befell Mlns.
"One pitchy dark night early last
summer" said the fat engineer wip-
ing his long-neckvd oil can with a
piece of waste "1 was coming east
with a fast freight. As we were ap-
proaching the top of hill I no-
ticed soma kind of a light moving
way up in the sky. First I thought
it was a new star but as the sky was
all beclouded nnd I could see no other
stars I concluded that I was mis-
taken. The light seemed to Im* de-
scending but as we pitched over the
top of the hill I dismissed the matter
from my mind having more im-
portant matters to attend to.
•'The further along we got the
darkness and fog seemed to thicken.
I was a little bit skittish abcAit going
down the hill with that "heavy train
such a night; and as the train
dropped over the top of the decline
1 soaked the air on a little to ease
'em off. Then I thought it was no
use slowing up. if I dilfh't make time
with the fast freight they’d take me
off and put me on the pick-up again.
So I put the air brake handle back in
running position again and let the
cars behind mb set the pace.
“After we got about a mile down
tha grade we were going 11 elip that
would make the Empire State ex-
press look like a dingy old stage
coach in oom|»arison. Then I got
’cold feet* once more and thought it
was up to me to jack ’em .up again.
Accordingly I put the air over in the
service position but b’tbcnder it had
no more effect on those dying ears
than a thimble of whisky on a
Kentucky eolonel. They jnst kept oa
coming and' shAving ihy Mother Hub-
hard engine along ahead of ’em al
abopt a 70-mile an hour pace. > I
reached up for the whistle
pass a tip to (he train crew in the
dog house that they'd better get nu)
and twist up a few brake wheels
when ca-smash! we went into some-
thing.
“Some darned kind of a rubbery
blanket enveloped my cheese-box cab
and came down over the windows
just As if sdme one bad lassoed us
with a big rubber bag. I made a fran-
tic jerk at the whistle valve but in-
stead of the sonorous sound it usual-
ly handed off the noise It gave out
then was like the shriek of a penny-
horn. You couldn't hear it for a car
length. I slammed the aii; over iqto
the emergency notch but I had kept
it on so long for a service application
that the pressure was all out of the
train pipe and it was like throwring
straws under the car wheels. There
was ‘nothing doing' with the air.
“I was getting mighty scared l>e-
catisb I didn’t know what kind of a
gaWe we'd butted intd'. The riibtxyr
covering hrid settled iloivn over tlif
cpb windows and wa? shutting .off
the outside atmosphere from ao
that I 'could hardly breathe nnd- 1
/surely.thought I w./aliFsuffocate un-
less I ■got relief somehow. No .me on
the train not even my fireman.'knew
what dire straits I wns in. 1 made
several ineffectual attempts to get
oilt of fbe cab but the rubber blan-
ket had me cppipletcly cut off.
“I tried the whistle again but It
was .'•motjieqed so by its covering
that ithardly gave for'h apy sound
nt all. I had alaiut given up ho;>e
when I heard the pop valve on the
dome commence to blow off steam.
At first thip added greatly to my dis-
comfort but 1 realized that my only
hope would be in hating the safety
valve blow off steam with sufficient
pressure to lift the rubber cove.ring.
.“After two or three minutes had
elapsed during which time steam bad
been blowing off steadily with a
heavy pressure the rubber bag be-
gan to lift nnd finally tore itself
away although it took wirli it a large
section of the cab roof. Twas pretty
nearly exhausted but I 'mnimged tip
reverse the v engine nnd call 'for
brakes. With tfrA assistance of the
brakeman the t'rain was brought
speedily under control pjid. stopped.
We made an investigation but it was
so dark we could not find out wb.it
had bit tbo cub and clung so tightly
to it.
“In reading the newspaper adver-
tisements the next morning I saw an
advertisement which sfrffed that the
proprietors of A big wagon circus
would pay n liberal Feward for infor-
mation concerning their balloon
which had been lost strayed or
stolen from a little village in the vis
clnity of .which I had my queer ex-
perience the night before. Their
swell parachute jumper had let the
balloon get away frnm him. It flashed
through my mind right away that it
musthavebeen the descending balloon
I had run into and on my next trip
out I saw the battered vcmains of a
big hnllorm lying at the font of (he
embankment where it had been
loosened from tKe cab."

MEMORIAL DAY.
Written for the Light:
Sleeping for the flag you bore.
Our country's pride mid shield.
Sleeping for the cause you won
On many a battle field.
Saddened memories will arise
'Neath those blue mid vaulted skies
think of days gone by
When these soldier boys were nigh.
How nobly did they fight mid fall
Not flinching from the deadly hall
Sonq of the north and of the south
Were found beside the cannoli's mouth.
Long «cary years have passed mid gone
Since these dark days of ’til
The weird past seems like a drcam
In view of what emi now be seen.
The Itliic and Gray now- both unite
In honoring the dead
As year by year wo come to lay
Our tributes o'er their head.
And thus 'twill lie when years roll on
The north mid south will blend us one
Uniting in their love for thee
Dear glorious flag of Liberty.
Though deep within our bosoms swell
Tlie mournful thoughts wo cannot quail
Yet still our trust in God will be
For Country Home and Liberty.
So let us clasp our friendly hands
Across the umde of years
And while we strew our garlands here
Bedew them with our tears.
And when the hist sad roll is called
When sounds the last tattoo
May we be ready with our arms
To pass the grand review.
