EMBALMING FLUID.

OLD EUYFTIAN SECRETS

· FORMÚLA USED BY ANCIENTS.

Egyptologists are interested in the discovery claimed by a scientist of the fuldsed by the Egyptians to mammify their dead. The mummies | of these people have been preserved down through the ages in almost perfect condition, and there has always been a keen desire to learn the formala employed by the ancients. There have been various theories id- vanced as to the means of munifics tion but it has never been proved that the exact preparation of the people of Pharaoh has been ascertained.

"We know," says Prof. K. Newell Ware, commenting on the discovery "that even among the Egyptians there was a decided differefice in the degree of success attained. The quality of the mummification seems to depend on the period. For example, we have a mummy said to be that of an Egyp tian princess of high rank, which con- sists of nothing much more than a handful or so of dust and the inclos ing case. The skeleton of the prio cess has not been able to defy the centuries, .even despite the art of those who did the embalming "

Mr. Francis 5. Bennati, the dis coverer, says that the active principle of his fluid is the oil of allium, ex- Itracted by a special process from any of the plants of the onion family. "It is not poisonous, hat on the contrary is believed to have some medicinal properties.

'1

We are told: "That a part of the hemian brain was dipped into the fivid, and in a short time became shrunken and as hard as wood, and that when dipped back into clear water it resumed its normal size and appearance.

That eggs dipped in the fluid and removed have kept for six months under ordinary conditions of temper- ature without the slightest change from the day they were first dipped. That beetles, discoloured and disintegrating, were dipped in the fluid, and that the disintegration halted and the original colours were restored.

"That frogs and fish have been successfully preserved for more than a.year without the sightest sign of decay.

#

That a human body, twelve days after death, had been taken under unfavourable conditions, dipped into the fluid, and is now thoroughly pre- served; and shows no tendency to- wards decomposition.”

It is expected that the discovery I will be of commercial value as well as scientific, and another use to which the fluid has already been put has been that of preserving valuable mamscüpts, as well as restoring them. Recently, valuable books in the collection of Mr. J. P. Morgan were treated, and for the first time în centuries wire wholly legible.

LAST SLAVE MARKET.

PINCHING TEST.

- THE HOLY CITY OF WAZZAN.

The open slave market in the City of, Wazzan, Morocco, which was recently occupied by the French, Is repaled to be the last of its kind in the world, according to a French offer who arrived in London from Fez to

The slaves are brought to Wazzan by caravan from parts of the country sl unexplored. The market is held annually during the pilgrimage sea- son, when pictis Moslems pour into the city from all parts of Morocco to ask for the Shereef's blessing. At this time Negro and Negress slaves are grouped together by their differ- ent owners on an open piece of ground.

The buyers then crowd round and ask questions about the age, health, and, in the case of a woman slave, if she is married. The owner; always ways that his women slaves are still unmarried, as single women usually fetch higher prices than martied ones. Of course, there is always bagging over the price, especially if there is some pliysical defect, which is invariably the case. The teeth are inspected, arms are pinched and a male slave is offen asked to lift theavy loads
