Second Section TOIL NEEDED FOR SUCCESS IN EGYPT Patience a—G;at_Requlsite in Valley of Kings Valley of the Kings, Luxor, Egypts 23 (By the Assoclated Press) ) le the world have been follow- ing with unabated Interest and curios- ity the wonderful archaeological dis- erles in the Valley of the Kings, ttle thought has been given to the years ‘of toll, research. and patience given by archaeologists in these far- oft ruins in order that these wonders of a vanished civilzation nlay be made available to present generations. It is perhaps little understood that the recent unearthing of' the tomb .of King Tutenkhamun by Howard Car- ter, the British excavator, represents a continuous effort of 33 years of re. search and excavation. Carter began digging on the site of Thebes, the an- cient capital of Egypt, when he was 18 and has never ceased his labors. Worked Por Others He was never rich enough to con: duct his own excavations, but has in- variably worked for others. Some of his most notable work was done un- der . Theodore M. Davis of Boston, whe from 1907 to 1914 discovered six royal fombs and a wealth of rare and valuable antiquities. In more recent years Carter has been associated with Lord Carnarvon, who financed the ex- cavating work of Tutenkhamun's tomb. Carter has derived no pecuni- ary reward from his years of research. A friend has described hig as “poor as a tomb mouse.” Amerltan visitors at the newly-found tomb have re- marked that the now famous excava- tor wears the same suit of clothes, the same hat and shoes, daily, Sun- day, and throughout the year. Tevotion to Labor Carter's devotion and labors in the cause of FEgyptological science .are typical of the example of all excava- tors, British, American and French, in the ancient ruins of Egypt. These men may be described as modern hermits in this 5,000-year-old Valley of the Kings. They lead a one-sidea and narrow existence.

Excavating is almost a re- ligion with them.,. The Valley of the Kings and the ‘Theban hills, 450 miles up the Nile from Cairo, are infested with wolves, Iackals, wildcats, foxes, snakes, liz- ards, scorplons, vultures, beetles and vermin. The archaeologists live in unpretentious stone and mortar hous- es with nothing but the barest rough- hewn furniture and the most primj- tilve household equtpment, The house eccupied by the American ex- perts was built. through the generos- ity of the late J. Plerpont Morgan, who was moved to pity by their priva- tions and exposure. The natives of the valley are pathe- tically poor and untutored. IFood {s scarce and expensive, Water, where it exists at all, has to be brought from afar, in hand-buckets. The nights are cold, and fuel is difficult to obtain, Many of the /other needs of life also are lacking, The heat of the valley is distressingly, severe during the day, and the entire area is plagued with flies and pernicious insects. Few Social Contacts The archaeologists have few special contacts. They live like recluses. The whole west bank ‘of the Nile in the neighborhood of ancient Thebes {s'a desolate, forbidding waste of mud, sand and rock. No flower or vege- table or blade of grass has reared its head above this barren terrain for 50 centuries, Only the most primitive roads exist. Houses are few and far between. In selecting this place for their eternal entombment the ancients choose with an eye to its solemnity, seclusion and silence. The only human beings that move among the seques- tered ruins of what was once the most flourishing city in the world are lean and spectre-like Arabs dressed in white robes. The American visitor to the caver- nous valley which holds the imperial dead of by-gone ages is over-awed by the majesty and dignity of the great, precipitous sandstone cliffs that stand sentinel on either side of the necropo- lis,” He is reminded of the heights of the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, or of Yellowstone Falls when the nooday sun transforms them into a golden valley. By day nothing disturbs the deep repose of the place except the sound of the pick-axes and shovels of the crowds of native boys and men em- ployed in combing the earth for its still hidden archaeological treasures. By night the stillness of the valley of death is broken only by the hoot- ing of owls and the cries of jackals and wildeats. In the midst of the si- lence and solitude one fecls himself standing’¥rpon the brink of two worlds with eyés’gdzing into a vista of the unknownliis ir Sleeping in the heart of these moun- tains ar Tutenkhamun and his royal kinsfolk, Some of the tombs go down 150 feet and extend back a distance of three city blocks. The ancients be- lieved these were the portals to heav- en and everlasting life. American visit- ors to the chasms of death get a fleet- ing sense of eternity and immortality | the tombs and look upon the wan and A modern electric light throws its rays | upon the emaciated face, and gives the beholder a thril of awe and tre- pidation. Day after day, throughout the years, the silent, patient archaeologists pur- | sue their lonely calling, finding here a broken statue of a sovereign, there everywhere small tokens of a civiliza- tion that gave the world its rudiments of culture, art and humanity.

I'ettke, | asgociate professor of geology and mineralogy at Cornegie Institute of Technology, by taking the enormous quantities of bituminous coal, now | being burned in the raw state for steam raising purposes and domestic use, and subjecting it to low-tempera- ture carbonization. Professor l'ettke set forth this idca in the course of an address to the institute students. This process, he said, will produce a fuel that is in many respects su- perior to raw coal; the smoke nuis- ance of cities will be abated, and val- uable by-products will be recovered which will ald greatly in affecting a petroleum supply that is being rapid- Professor Fettke emphasized the warning that the known reserves of etroleum are being so rapidly re- duced that one of the problems to be faced within the next decade or two will be to find substitutes, in con- tinually growing amounts, for the CONNECTICUT, ‘'FRIDAY, MARCH, = R I A Saturday Sale of “Corona” Hair Nets Large double mesh, guaranteed — Yor Ja Do men read our Store News?
