SPHINX TELLS OF A PHARAOH'S DREAM
And Says King Amen Gave New Arrow To Egypt
Cairo, Nov. 20.
Hundreds of labourers transported from Upper Egypt, digging away the huge banks of sand which surrounded the Sphinx on its eastern side, have made a thrilling dis covery-an eighteenth dynasty stela (tablet) of white limestone pearing 27 lines of hieroglyphics and measuring 6ft 8ins by 12ft.
It records that the stela was erected by. Amen Hotep the Second as a memorial of his pilgrimage to the Sphinx, the fabulous monster which gazes across the valley of the Nile, when he ascended the throne at the age of 18.
It relates how he drove in his chariot from Memphis and visited the Great Pyramids, which are monuments to Sheopa and Khefren.
The hieroglyphics state that Amen Hotep possessed her- culean strength-that nobody else was able to pull his bow, relate his deeds of prowess and horsemanship, and record the
fact that he invented a kind of
arrow

St. Ball's Chthedral on Red Square, most Asiatic and plc- turesque bullding in Moscow, will be restored to its original appear ance just it was when built by Ivan the Terrible In celebration of hls victory over Kazan in the middle of the 10th century.
A popular legend records that Ivan blinded the architect when the cathedral was completed, to prevent his building anything else so beautiful, but whether this is true or not, the ancient structure remains one of the unique structures of the world.
Euch dome is of a different shape and colour, but age has dimmed the tones, and inside the unclent frescoes in many places are hidden under many layers of later origin,
D. P. Sukhov, Soviet architect, has begun the work of restora- tion, based on a detailed study of the architecture and decoration of the church.
The external walls on the castern side already have been restored, but the complete work will occupy three years.
Dificulties involved are shown by the discovery that in the een- tral part of the cathedral the original architecture is concealed under rough putty and painting done in the 19th century-United Press,
