VOn Feb. 6 a. discovery was made in the Leropolis of Thebes second only in import- ance to the discovery of the royal mummies at Dchr-el-Buhari by M. Maspero in 1381. About half a. mile from Dehr-el-Bahari a pit has been found containing several hundred magnificent mummies. These. like the royal mummies, had evidently been removed from the tomb and concealed in this recep- tacle, as a. precaution, by the servants of the priests, probably at the same time and for the same reason which caused the royal mummies to be placed in the receptacle where the; were found by M. Maspero. This ren oml is believed by M. Maspero to have taken place in the reign of Aauputh, .son of Shasa.1g, of the twenty~second dynasty (circa),966 B. C. The coffins hitherto found all belong to the twenty-first dynasty and are those of the priests of Ra-Amun and their families. The pit is about forty-five feet in depth, at the bottom of which are two corridors filled with coffins and treasures of every description. In the lower cornerâ€"which as yet has only been exploredâ€"â€"it is comput- ed that there are some two hundred cofiins, and the second corridor is believed to be not less extensive. The shaft; is forty-five feet deep, its mouth is about twelve feet in diameter, and its sides are of rough limestone. One of M. Grebmt’s native assistants, who was super- intending the work of hauling up the mum~ my cases, told me that, he had been the first actually to enter the corridor where the mummies and treasures lie. The shaft had then been excavated only as deep as the mouth of the corridor, and he crept in on his hands and knees and stood on what. he describes as being like a. place of enchant- ment. The corridor, he said, is some ten or twelve feet high and 250 feet long. It runs in a northerly direction from fine shaft toward the Thebau hill. At the end there is a. short, corridor branching from it at right angles, and at some height above the floor at the end is the entrance to asecond very long corridor full of treasures, which has been sealed up for the present by M. Urebaut. 'l'onple Mystified Until me Music was Tran!!! lo lls Soul-re. One of the most remarkable 11am”; m,,.;_ osities ever heard of has just been discover- ed in Flint Hills, Kan. A long reach of country in that section is composed of sand beds and hills covered with small particles of flint interspersed with some larger rocks. It is utterly barren. A road passes through the desolate tract, but it is travelled only when the people are in a hurry, for it is hard on man and beast. Groups of mummies are' placed at inter- vals in families. The number in each groud varies from two to six or sevenâ€"father, mother and childrenâ€"and around them ex- quisitely arranged, are vases, models of houses, models of dahabiehs, cases and boxes full of ushabits, statuettes and every con- ceivable treasure of ancient Egypt. With- out even a. speck of dust upon them, this profusion of treasures had remained unlock- ed at by any eye for nearly 3,000 years. He said that photographs had been taken of the place in its undisturbed state, which he declared to be that of a. perfectly kept and 'Well arranged musnm. About two months ago the people were surprised by several slight earthquake shocks. The tremblings continued for several days. A few nights after the earth- quake people at the farm ofJasper Newton, on the edge of Flint Hills, thought they heard the sound of music, and got up to see who was playing at that time of night. The sound rose and fell in regular cadence, but they could distinguish no tune. It had more of the sound of an aeolian harp than of any other instrument. They listened for some time, but as the music neither advanced nor retreated tl’ey concluded that it must be at some neighbor’s, and the sound was carried by a. peculiar condition of the atmos- phgre- - The next night the music came again, only it seemed to be louder and nearer. So loud was it that Mr. Newton could distin- guish the fact that it came from the direc- tion of the sand hills. The next night there was a heavy rain-storm, and the music did not sound for several nights afterward. Then came a dry spell of a week, and one evening as the family was sit- ting in front of the house the sweet strains were heard again, only they were not so loud as formerly and appeared to be at a much greater distance. As the dry weather continued the sounds became louder and neuter every night. ’1 lmy thought at first thaba. trick was being pla) ed upon them by some one at Newton 8, but the same strain continued with no varia- tion of strength all night long. Then they mmed their camp nea1e1 to the edg eof the banen place, and that night the music ap- peared to come from a spot, about a hundred yards from them. The sound did not seem any louder than when heard at the house of Newton, but it was clearer and more dis- tinct. At last it was determined to solve the mysteryif possible, and a. party of young people set out for the Flint Hills determined to camp out all night and see what it was that caused the sounds. The first night they camped about the centre of the waste spot. After darkness came they quieted down and soon the sweet sounds were heard faintly in the direction of Newton’s house. One of the party went out to investigate, and as he was walking about the music sud- denly stopped. He stood still for some time, but not a. sound came." Then he walked away, and had gone but a short distance when he heard the music behind him. Re- tracing his steps, it stopped again, but as he walked on it started up. He then mark- ed the sand with a. stick and went back to the tent. Next morning they investigated the place where the stick had been placed and found that it was almost gone. At the spot where it had been placed the sand was working as if something underneath was boiling. It bubbled and worked in concen- tric circles and evidently caused the music by the rubbing together of the particles during the curious phenomena. \Vheu it rained the wet sand would emit no sound. cloaks.

Lord Randolph Churchill says the annual loss sustained by the De Beer’s Company, through their diamonds being stolen by natives and others, is from 10 to 15 per cent. “ To check this loss extraordinary precautions have been resorted to. The natives are engaged for a: period of three months, during which time they are confined in a compound surrounded by a high wall. On returning from their day’s work they have to strip 03 their clothes, which they hang on pegs in a shed. Stark naked they then proceed to the searching room, where their mouths, their hair, their toes, their armpits, and every portion of their body are subjected to an elaborate examination. White men would never submit to such a process, but the native sustains the indigâ€" nity with cheerful equanimity, considering only the high wages which he earns. After passing through the searching-room they pa‘s, still in a state of nudity, to their apartments in the compound, Where- they find blankets in which to wrap themselves for the night. During the evening the clothes which they have left behind them are carefully and minutely searched, and are restored to their owners in the morning. The precautions which are taken a few days before the natives leave the compound. their engagement being terminated, to recover diamondswhichtheymayhaveswallowed,are more easily imagined than described. In addition to these arrangements, 3. law of exceptional ri our punishes with great severity illicit (gliamond buyina, known in the slang of South Africa as T. D. B.»ism. Under this statute the ordinary presumption , of law in favour of the accused disappears, and an accused person has to rrove his inno- cence in the clearest manner instead of the ‘ accuser having to prove his guilt. Sentences are constantly passed on persons convicted of this oflence rangin from five to fifteen years. It must be a mitt-ed that this tre- mendous law is in thorough conformity with South African sentiment, which elevates I. D. B.-ism almost to the level, if not above , the level, of actual homicide. If a man, , Walking in the streets or in the precincts of Kimberley, were to find a diamond, and were not immediately to take it to the registrar, restore it to him, and to have the fact of its restoration registered, he would be liable to a punishment 0t fifteen years’ I penal servitude.” Extraordinary Precautions Against Dia- mond Robberies. His idea is that no satisfactory opportun- l ity has ever been afforded for the develop- l ment of the intellect of the brute. Intelli- gence, like bodily qualities, is susceptible of improvement through breeding, as every‘ one knows who has thought about the evolution of the dog from the wolf by arti- ficial selection. This rich man proposes that monkeys or apes shall be taken as sub‘ects for experiments simply because man un ersrauns “we“ animals better than he does others. Let fifty or Lnem, \._\£ -am am; half females, be placed in a. paddock, suit- ably provided with separate quarters for the sexes. Then have them breed, pair by pair, ‘ as shall be directed by those who superin- tend. Some of them will develop certain abilities more conspicuously than others. For example, certain individualswill exhibit a superior understanding of the commands addressed to them, or will show a greater dexterity in the handling of objects. Those which appear stupid are to be expelled from the colony their places being filled by fresh recruits. When a male and a female are found who exhibit the same sort of apti- tude in any direction, they are to be mated. This process, carried on for gouombiuus. would. necessarily result in the development of superior characters,until finally, after the lapse of twenty-five years perhaps, there would almost certainly be had apes or monkeys far higher in the scale of reason than any known up to the present time.
