Ia all the history of excavation no such Istsnsely human story has been dug out of th. forgotten past as has been brought to day by th recent work of the German Orient society ot Berlin at th. Pyramid of Ahuslr. Th. report of almost a year ot explora tion has Just beea mads. It is couched In acl.stiflc, mat t.r-of -fact languag. But la.il is th. whole drama of life a tre- xasndous sermon preached by fallen stones and roysl corpses and th. aands ot the 6srt, with mighty, all-conquering death for their text. 1 The German professors found a great king. So great was be that th. great gods, teebmet, th. Lion-beaded. Anubls. the Jaeksl-hsaded, and Nile gods are shown bowing before him. I'pper sad Lower ThFifr OF GLASSES Is of the greatest Importance not only for comfort but to avoid artual danger. Th. ienaea must b accu rately adjusted in every way and correctly centered. Many opticians careful In other , r.spects often overlook the importance of acourat. fit ting. We five It special at tention and have (rum of very else aod shape on hand, enabling u. to supply the correct sis. and style at all lime The H. J. PenfoldCo. Expert Opticians. t raraas. Street. Egypt were his. When h. died men began to build a vast tempi, of the dead for him. Four thousand and five hundsed years ago they buried Ne-woser-re, th. king. And th. centuries passed and his temple, un finished, disappeared below the drifting sands. Ho and his family, his royal fa vorite and bla high priests, became hidden deep below th. dwellings of succeeding kings and priests, and their tombs wer. piled over all. Then they, too, sank away and were forgotten. Others built and died Egyptian, Greek and Christian ia their turns. The great clock ot history still wanted a thousand . years to th. time of the coming of Christ, and Ne-woser-re, tho king, was ao utterly lost and forgottsn that tho poorest of the poor were burled oa top of th. mounds that hid hts Imperial tomb tho tomb which bad been set by its mighty builders to defy eternity Itself. Aad the German professors dug out a song. too. It wss deemed to bo Immortal when It was written. 8o grand did it seem 4,400 years ago that a singer In Egypt hal It put into bis tern 6 with him. It.ls a great roll of papyrus a poem by Ttmo- theos glorifying th. victorious sea fight of Marathon and almost certainly the very oldest Greek book ever found. The poem that mad. such a vast stir ones has laid under the Egyptian sands tor more than S.OOO years and songs of Marat boa have piled on songs and been forgotten as tho dead piled oa tho dead over the tomb of the Egyptlaa singer. Profs. Borchardt. Voelts aad Decker con ducted th. work of excavation. Their first discovery wsa tho forecourt of tho Temple Ot th. Dead. It had beea left unfinished aad most of tho beautiful columns that bad beea completed had fallen. But two magnificent pillars were left. In that courtyard was found tho partly broken figure of a lloa, grandly proportioned aad far beyond life else. Its sculptere is so ho. that tho scientists agree that it was the work ot a. sculptor of extraordinary tal ont. The head wss perfectly preserved. The next discovery was that of reliefs de pleting soma of the most famous Egyptians of that time, whose names snd deeds are mentioned in many Inscriptions found in various parts of Egypt. There also wer depictions ot sacrifice. One wall painting shows th. slaughtering of animals before th. tombs of th. great dead. Another por trays tall, beautiful pesssnt woaea wiio hear offerings. Tho great temple relief of all was found between th. Hsll ot Columns and the Holy of Holiest. It shows the ki&s kitoacif. with sproa and lion's tall as lD'.lnls .of his high rsnk. He wesrs a headdress of feathers and horns, the sasrk ot a God. The Jsekal-headed God Anubls steps tosard him. bringing him the Btga e."Ufe. In a smaller relief Ne-woser-re is pic tured with raised club slsylng a group of men whom he holds by their hslr. Is digging out the Chamber of Statues the explorers unexpcc?dly came upoa a splendid painting. It was intended to show a door set tato tho solid wall. ' The colors laid on by hands and brushes of which there has been no vestige left on earth for 4,000 years, were bright and gl awing, shin ing out ot their long-kept darkness into th. light of today ss If they were still wet. But scarcely had the aun streamed in be fore they began to pale. Fortunately the expedition numbered a skillful painter among its members, and he succeeded in making a true copy in full site ot the ancient work of art. Th Hlsjk. Priest's Tosnb. Then the diggers reached the tomb of th. high priest, Jem-sm-Jachwet. After breaking out tho first stone, the Europeans peered in and for the first time In forty five centuries human eyes looked upon the coffins of tbs priests of Ne-woser-re. The tomb had been too smsll for the last cof fins and the handles bad been sawed from tbs ends before ,the stones were set in place and sealed. Those cuts ot the ssw were clear and sharp, fust sa they bad been left on that dsy of burial. Here great finds were msde. Large ships of the dead were on the coffins that they might be used for the voysgs Into ths under world. There were the great stons Jugs thst hsd contained water to refresh tho shades oa their journey. The last gifts ot friends and carved wooden stataettea ot the servants and alsves were scattered through the tomb. Now cams tbs question as to whether r not the mummies In the stone coffins would be found In any sort of preservation. It they were, they would be tbe first mummies of thst period that ever bad teen found in condition to bear removal to Europe. The whole party gathered around eagerly, while the wooden nails were drawn carefully from the coffin of the high priest, and hs was found In it Just as he had been put to rest when Egypt was young. Jen-em-Jschwet was wrapped In a long brown linen shroud. A colored mask of liaen and gypsum lay on his face. The mask had a narrow aide beard and a K ng chin beard, and ths eyes had been made larger by streaks ot vermilion. A big wig, parted in the middle, was colored bright blue to Imitate lapis laxull, showing that the dead men hsd already become a god, tor the ancient Egyptian gods hsd hair cf lapus lasull. Under tbe bead was a wooden head rest. It is ihspei exsctly like ths wooden pil low that Ii used to this dsy ia the Soudan. By his side Isy a little wooden ststue rep resenting him. According to Egyptlsn be lief this ststue was to do the dead man's work tor him In the under world. A handsome coffin ia another -chamber contained the mummy of a man who must bar. beea exceptionally rich, for around his neck wss a string of reel pearls, while ethers, even high officials, had to be con tent with painted ones. The gifts that had beea plseed by his side made a little history of that age la themselves. In a sic he at the head of th. ooffin w.r. stone vessels, bound with leather, that had con tained salves and precious ointments. Thers wsa a bed resting on carved lion's claws. Under it stood a waxen vessel snd two bags filled with what apparently were face paints. A whole set of carpenter's tools was found In th. rear of this cham ber. There were saws, drills, augurs, axes, awls and polishing stones. A History of the Past. When the coffin was dragged out a new surprise waited in a cavity behind it. There were beautiful models of ships ot the desd. Ons was shown with bellying ssli; another with lowered mast wss being moved by rowers. There wsa the dead man's kitchen in a miniature model. A butcher is in it, cut ting ths throat of a steer. Another is catching the blood. The aprons of both are bright red with It. Alongside of them squats snother cook broiling a goose on a spit. Ths model has msny figures of fe male servants. Some are grinding corn; others srs baking bread. Another model was that of the granary. In tbe courtyard is shown the delivery of the grain. Servants are seen carrying it upstairs, where It is poured into the bins in the upper story. A woman wss found next. Shs was a Sat-Nofer, the favorite ot the king. In that gorgeous life of 4.600 years ago no doubt she hsd been beautiful and clothed with rich apparel and surrounded with loveliness and luxury. But In death she was not to lie as Isy tbe true queen or her master. Plseed in a rude coffin of thin wood, she wss put away in a bare cham ber far from the habitations of the royal dead. Hardly any gifts were laid with her. instead, aa If in Irony a grim Joke that was to wait for inconceivable time to make its point they laid by the coffin of the poor, forgotten courtesan a bronxe mirror without a handle and a little stone used for grinding rouge. As the digging progressed from this point of tbe hUtory ot decline became uncovered. When tbe explorers resched the remnants ot the period ot 2,000 years before Christ they found habitations of priests, showing that the temple hsd votaries. But tbsy were poor and meager, like the ruined graves of the Kbslifs. And when the work ers resched the remslns ot 1,300 yesrs be fore Christ they found that dust snd ssnd bad even then burled the glorious dynasty and over tnem were hundreds ot mean graves. The wood of tbe coffins ot these interlopers had been so thin thst It bad disintegrated slmost entirely. The mum mifying had been so badly done that It was possible only to tell that once they had been painted gaudily. Tbe masks over the faces of these poor Egyptians were made of Nile mud instesd of carved woods. Boms bad not even had coffins, but were laid out simply on msts mads of the ribs ot palm leaves. Ilasuaa Ya!t of S.OOO Tears A(o, "Imperisl Caessr, desd and turned to clay," had a counterpart here. A fine coffin was found la the midst ot tho poor graves. Its' inscription told that it contained the body of Abbem, the son ot Oert, who had ( corns from Asia and who was very rich snd famous. But when tbe coffin was opened there lay in it a withered mummy, evi dently that of a very lowly person. Before long, other coffins were found with the same peculiarity. So it became apparent that the poor used to evict the noble corpses of the past and clothe themselves in death in the pomp which they had missed in life a strange picture of hu man vanity preserved faithful time. Others, apparently, tau& not afford to j buy old coffins, but still demanding burial , of pride and circumstance, they were In cased In cfNous earthen clylnders looking grotesquelynike tbe water pipes of today. A poor Egyptian mother of the past had left the token ot her love In one tomb. ' Two children were found there coffined )n tbe slender double-handled wine jugs ot tbe period. The Poem ot Ttmotueos. When tbe party reached the Greek -rlod, the great discovery was made ot .the poem by Tlmotheoa. It was found io a mighty wooden coffin. A Greek had been 1 burled there long before Hie time of the Man ot Galilee. With him had been in terred a roll of papyrus. Unrolled, It proved to be about four feet long, contain- ! ing five columns of Greek verse written in ancient runlcial characters. Ths exca- valors at once sent tor Dr. Rubensobn, who wss in Cairo at the time seeking Greek manuscripts for the Berlin musum, and hs declared tbst It was probably the oldest Greek book ever discovered. Later Ulrich von Wilamowlts-Moellen-dorff, tbe great European authority, con firmed this. He says: "It is the oldest Greek book, undoubtedly older than the time of the beginning of bookmsking as originated by the founding of the Alexandrian library. The man in whose coffin it wss found wss certainly burled early in the fourth century before Christ." "It is a lyrical text not that of a dilet tante like lsyllos, but of a trus poet, one in whom the men of bis dsy hailed ths grestest poet of tbe world. It Is intended to be sung. It tskes the place of the epic song of previous times. , "It chsnts the tale ot the sea fight In Marathon. The ships ride at each other. They take the shock, rebound and strike again. Stones and burning srrows dart through the air. Lances snd Javelins leap over tbe light of Marathon. Shock after shock, and shouts ot joy and despair echo from tbe hills. Flame licks the sir. It is a battls ot a desperate land for life. "We hear tbe voice ot a drowning man over the clamor. He curses tbe hsted sea; yat, sinking, he cries out in tbs bope of victory tor his master. Then we learn bow ths ships of tbe Persians flee. There rise the laments of naked, shivering wretches, clinging to cliffs to which tbey have swum from their sinking ships.
