Mr. Emery, tall, bespectacled, Liverpool-born, said to use to-day: "They made the same mistake as the people who visited the tomb be fore them-probably thousands of years before,
They thought the brick super- structure was solid. I re-examined it To ay astonishinent, I found it hollow.
Further investigation revealed the forty-two chambers, filled with objects meant for the use of the dead in his second life.".

PERFECTLY-MADE ROPE
The first collection of those "ob jects" reached Cairo Museum this morning. There I found Egyptolo- gists excitedly examining them. They saw, among other things: A quiver filled with bone and ivory. tipped arrows; an ivory-headed spaar; wooden sickles with fiat teeth which were entirely un- known until to-day. Jars, sealed with mud, bearing the naine King Dene, which once con tained food and wine. Only a heap of dust and a few berries remain.
