FRIDAY,

At Central Magistracy yesterday, Mr. E. W. Hamilton äxed the hear. ing of ease in which two Chinese women are charged With assaulting a mui thai for Friday.

Mr. H. R. Eutters of the S.C.A. was in Court yesterday and ex pressed regret for not being able to attend on Saturday, having had to attend the Kowloon Magistracy that morning. He had, arranged that Sergeant Post should be in Cost, but apparently, there was s misunderstanding.

Mr." Somerset Fitzroy (Assistant Attorney General) withdrew additional charge of "being prin. cipal in the second degree to wounding," before outlining his case to the jury. Counsel said that the alleged assault took place on the afternoon of May 17 near No.Thursday,

The Egyptian artists worked in stone and that is why there is some- thing left to-day to buat. There is a story, how true it is hard to tel that a Chicago engineer, late last century, offered to buy one of the pyramids, take it down steve by stone, and build it again in Chi- cago as a feature of the World's Fair.

But it is a known fact that many conquerers have attempted to take along home with them the famous Sphinx of Gizeh, but when they dug out the sand which almost covered the great stone tomb they gave up the job as impossible.

There are eighty pyramids in Egypt and one hundred in Nubia, and they are all too heavy to take along home. Most pyramids are royal tombs, built for the double purpose of marking esteem in a grave and to hide the body in a secret chamber to prevent its find ing by thieves who hunt the gold and gems buried with the bodies.

In his outline of the case, Mr. Somerset Fitzroy said that five men entered the hut on the evening of May 16 and proceeded to tie up
