By I'nlvprMl Service. London, April 9.—Lady Carnavon, in compliance with the last wish of her late husband, and assisted by Howard Carter, the American archaelogiBt, will continue the direction of the ex ploration of the tombs of the pharaohs. Lady Carnarvon has decided that she will dedicate her life to the com pletion of the work of Lord Carnar von, who left no diary, but who did leave considerable manuscript from which she will complete his memoirs. Discussing the "mummy's curse.” in connection with the death of Lord Carnarvon, Sir William Fletcher Bar rett, leader of the Physical Research society, says: "When Napoleon removed from Egypt to Paris, the sarcophagus of one of the great pharaohs, an Inscrip tion was found when the mummy was unrolled, heaping maledictions upon the ruler who violated the tomb and predicting. that the dynasty of the offender would soon come to an end. "Napoleon’s dynasty, which then seemed assured, ended within a few years.” Sir H. Rider Haggard, interviewed on the same subject, said: "It Is perfectly true that as an author I have made use of the mum my’s curse, as in my tale 'The Ancient Ballad,’ in which the hero's habit of excavating Egypt comes to an un happy ending, because, as suggested, i be incurred the wrath of the ancient 1 Egyptian gods by interfering with | tlieir sanctuaries. But that was purely fiction. The Mea widely prevalent that the death of Lord Carnarvon was the result of a curse is plain super stition.” -[-.
