FROM PALACE OF PHARAOH University of Pennsylvania to Have Pillar That Once Adorned Ruler's Throneroom. The first word In a long time fnom the Eckley 15. Coxe expedition to Egypt hue been received at the University ! of Pennsylvania museum from I »r. Clarence S. Fisher, Its leader. Doctor Fisher reported excellent success dur ing the winter explorations at Den dereh, the ancient capital of Egypt, up j the Nile. In April he returned to Memphis and continued his work of uncovering the palace of Merenpthuh, who Is Identi fied by many Biblical scholars as the Pharaoh of the Oppression, whose stubbornness brought on the plagues. If this Is correct, the great hull and throneroom of the palace, which has now been completely uncovered1, was the scene of the appearance of Moses nnd Aaron before Pharaoh, and where the signs and wonders were performed. The throne Is said to be In good con dition, but Egypt will not permit it to come to this country. Fortunately, Doctor Fisher has worked over the pieces of the lit colos sal pillars which upheld the roof and has recovered enough to make one complete pillar, which will be brought to the university museum and set up. It will he the most notable specimen of Egyptian architecture in tills coun try. Tlio pillars were six feet in diam eter, 80 feet high, covered with In scriptions nnd pictures Inlaid with gold. Much of the paneling of the room and the lintels of the doors also were Inlaid with gold, und these will be brought here. The natives of Egypt, It Is said, call the palace “The Temple of Moses," as they have an Idea that Is where he was reared. LA GRANGE, TEX. L. V. Vincent.
