OUR LONDON LETTER

THE MAIL SERVICE TO THE FAR EAST.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. }

LONDON, April 12th.

THE LATR LORD CARNARVON.

Lord

nethods,

The death of Lord Carnarvon occasioned very sincero regret in England, from the King, who sent message of condolence to the family to

the humblest now of reader. Thanks to malern of publicity, the late peer became known all over the work to nailions who had nover heard of his nan until his wonderful achievement in the field of Egyptian ex. pleration gave the less a first-class Bury, of which certainly made the most.

they cert Carnarvon

was a curious mixture, cultured biding under the easy-going cul manners of a wealthy aristocrut, with an air of aloofness from the serious affairs of life, an exceedingly keen intelligence, great fare of character, and tenacity of purpose He had had many interests before he took up Egyptology, which eventually lee

became a passion. As a sporisinan he was one of the first half-dozen best shots in Eugland he was well read and had a fine know of languages, particularly Frenchy Be possessed a ral appreciation of Art: and ho had travelled widely. Ho was one of thu earliest motorists, and in that connection it is amusing to recall that he was fined for travelling at over twelve mits an hour.

In addition to many other interests, Lord Carnarvon was fond of photography, at which he excelled, specialising in still life and studies of the nurk. At Chelsea he owned u studio to which he was accustomed to retire, shutting himself up as a change from Society, which he avoided as much as his position permitted him to do THE DICERE OF FATE,

It is surely a strange irony that Lond Carnarvon's death took place, while he was

awaiting the final net in his work of explors:

tion in the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhaman. Fato intervened, and he died, as all the world knows, blood poisoning following the bite of a squito.

Thus ha หมิง denied the supremo happiness of witnessing the com pletion of his labours, in conjunction with Mr. Howard Carter, in the Valley of the Kings. I have heard that while the dis- covery of Tutankhamen brought Eim pleasure that special delight that comes fram gratified ambition-it also involved him in countless worrica. He was assailed by much ill-natured criticism

Still, he was able to realise that his discovery has added to our knowlege of those ancient days in Egypt soine fourteen centuries before Christ Way born. Maroever, people now seem to understand, as

nover proviously, that archacok is something more than the com- 1

et dry facts, or the classification of objects the glass-cases of a muscum By means of the Fress the whole world bas looked into the tomb of the Pharaoh, with

in the newspapers; and there is a certain satisfaction in knowing that the originator of the competition is to be prosecuted as the instance of the Na ional Society for the Pre- vention of Cruelty to Childrent.

A dosiro for of this kind of thing. In no other way sun notoriety is at the bottom ong account for another craze for record- making going on in diferent parts of the country just now.

POPULAR SUPERSTITION.

Ono rather remarkable, outcome of the dramatic circumstances of Lord Carnarvon's. death is the evidenes it has produced of the existence of widespread superstition. Miss Mario Corelli started the hall rolling, s it

a pro- who is

nouncement by Sir A. Conan

an arch apostle of Spinal worl in these

days, and talks of "elementals exerting laneful influences on those who go explo

the Valley of the Kings at Luxor. The idea that dire consequences may or can befal people because of some malediction of a Pharaoh of 3,000 year

freely ngo is ridiculed by educated opinion in England, and also by the authorities of the British. Museum, where

here there are thousands of Egyptian treasures, including mummies taken from Egyptian tombs. There is no authentic case of misfortune befalling any body who has taken part in collecting these relics. But, all the same, since Lord Car- narvon's death the Museum management lias been literally bombarded with paresis

and packages of objects obtained

from Luor and

places along the

course of the Nile. The senders oro geo- uinely alarmed and desire to avert pains or penalties if there are any connected with the possession of their treasures. They are leaving nothing to chance. Apparently there is no limit to human credulity. LONDON'S BIGGEST ULUB.

This week the London Club was opened with a dinner, dance, and cabaret entertain- ment. What is more to the point, it has a membership of 5,000 to start with. The Club marks n' new departure, and there is con- siderable apeculation whether it will prove a successful

ful proposition. The originator is Mr. fon, a native of Glasgow, who made money out of catering. He converted a huge carriage repository in King's Street, of elaborately decorated and furnished on the lines of a modern club.
