SPHINX TELLS OF A PHARAOH'S DREAM

And Says King

Amen Gave New

Arrow To Egypt

Cairo, Nov. 20.

Hundreds of labourers transported from Upper Egypt, digging away the huge banks of sand which surrounded the Sphinx on its castern side, have made a thrilling dis- covery-an eighteenth dynasty stela (tablet) of white limestone bearing 27 lines of hieroglyphics and measuring 6ft 8ins by 12ft.

It records that the stela was erected by Amen Hotep the Second as a memorial of his pilgrimage to the Sphinx, the fabulous monster which gazes across the valley of the Nile, when he ascended the throne at the age of 18.

It relates how he drove in his chariot from Memphis and visited the Great Pyramids, which are monuments to Sheops and Khefren.

The hieroglyphics state that Amen Hotep possessed her. culean strength-that nobody else was able to pull his bow, relate his deeds of prowess and horsemanship, and record the fact that ho invented a kind of

35,000-TON VESSELS

By A Naval Correspondent

THE French Government has, I learn, decided to build a third battleshin of the 35,000-ton class, mainly because of the rapid de- velopment of the German Navy.

This will raise to five the num- ber of French battleships, laid down since 1932..

Details of the four previous vessels are as follows:

St. Basil's Cathedral on Red Square, most Asiatic and pic- turesque building in Moscow, will be restored to its original appear- ance just as it was when bulit by Ivan the Terrible in celebration of his victory over Kazan In the middle of the 18th century.

A popular legend records that Ivan blinded the architect when the cathedral was completed, to prevent his bullding anything else so beautiful, but whetlier this is true or not, the ancient structure remains one of the unique structures of the world.

D. P. Sukhov, Soviet architect, has begun the work of restora- tion, based on a detailed study of the architecture and decoration of the church.

The external walls on the castern aldo already have been restored, but the complete work will occupy three years.

Difil-uities involved are shown by the discovery that in the cen- tral part of the cathedral the orligintil architecture is concealed under =rough putly and painting done in the 18th-century-United Press.
