The whole operation of closing in the tomb will achivement considering all that is to be filled in. The first essential was the blocking of the doorway, and to this Howard rier personally sttended. With his own hands he removed the wooden framework and the grille with which the mouth of the tomb has been closed - it was. first found and put in place the balks with whi ked. About a were used, some sixty had to be blc £ Turkish oak—the hardesf could be found in the untry—and in between these were Jsced planks of plane wood. These planks were inserted owing to the vital necessity of protecting the tomb from any possible risk of inunda- tion, the idea being that in the event of water getting through the rubbie the plane wood would tend to engthen the barrier. Fascinating Sight. Tt was a most fascinating sight to watch Carter fitting these balks and planks, wedging each with little plane wood ivedges, buttressing the whole with huge batons of similar wood, firmly lodged ugainst the rock steps @nd finally secured with extra wedges. By the time he had finished—it was a three-hour job—Carter had com- pletely covered up the actual entrance door and practically the whole mouth to within a foot of the rock above, with & barrier resembling an old- fashioned sluice gate, which, thanks to wonderful precision with which Lie had fitted in the pieces, should fford all possible resistance of at- tack. by elements or by human hands. na of Sand. I briefly described the process of fil in the entragnce to the mouth and well. It has been cal- culated that over seventeen hundred tons of sand, rock and rubble were uged for this purpose. The rapidity and industry with which the four- score of boys and men worked was remarkable. While about twenty dug diligently in the refuse heaps on the other side of the roadway fill- ing baskets as quickly as they were efptied, the remainder kept running in a continuous chain for several hours on end, o the peculiar sing- song chant without which eastern laborers seem unable to work, dump- ing the contents of their ten-pound baskets into the well In & manner which made the small heaps increase 10 high mounds with almost magical speed in some such manner, though, of course, with a greater number, the Fellahin ‘of those times must have toiled at the excavation and subse. auent covering up of this very tomb thirty centuries ago.

Visitors Take Much Time. {'It is unfortunate that owing to the attention attracted by the discovery #0 much time has been taken up in showing round notable v'sitors who have applied in their hundreds to see the objects. Not only has this seri- v delayed the work, but it has ntailed such a great strain on 3 that now that the tomb has €ed it has become imperative ake of future work that they should all take a complete rest. It has. therefore, been decided to sus- all work for & week. I s tonight for Cairo, coes to Armant aud Mace to Assuan. T.word Carnavon may possibly also go to Assuan to be jolned there by Mr. Carter.

Mr. Crooker recently appealed to the governor to recall and vacate Senator Lodge's certificate of election |and to Issue precepts for a new sen- atdrial election because of an alleged general violation ~throughout the commonwealth of the mandatory pro. visions of the election law in the recent contest, The charges of violations of the election act related chiefly to alleged overloading of election boards with republicans and failure to seal elec- tion ballots.
