A Communist family draft law, attacked by the Churches and public as undermining the family as a Christian unit of society, is to be amended to take into account the public antagonism which it has aroused.

London, July 12.

Of all the wonders of the Ancient World, probably the best known are the Pyramids and temples of ancient Egypt,

Yet why the Pyramids were built in that shape and even exactly how they were constructed without modern mechanical means, remains to this day a subject of discussion and disagreement among archaeologists.

Now theories on these age- old problems are advanced by M. Samivel, woll-known In Franco as

The very construction of the pyramid. M. Samivel thinks, supports his theory. It was built not to endlose space, but as a solid volume of stone, that is, it was a faithful copy of a natural form.
