People often wonder how the ex
plorers of ancient ruins in Egypt,
Palestine, Mexico, and elsewhere make
their discoveries; how they know
where to lock for what they find, and
how they know that anything may be
found where they search.
The work of the Harvard University
Boston Museum of Fine Arts expedi
tion to Ethiopia, which has spent 10
years in Egyptian archaeological ex
ploration and is still working there,
is an example of how such explora
tions are carried out. Its search has
resulted In the discovery, in an ob
scure village beyond the borders ot
Egypt, on the banks of the Nile River,
of a great number of tombs which
were found to contain the history of
26 generations of Ethiopian kings who
ruled over Egypt, and the recovery
from beneath the deeply drifted sands
of material buried and lost to human
knowledge for thousands of years, re
vealing the arts and crafts of this lost
civilization.
The explorer comes upon a mound,
or series of mounds, of drifted sand in
the desert in a region known to have
been inhabited by ancient races. He
sets his trained workmen to cleariiy;
away the sand, after first having mady
photographs or the undisturbed sit^
As soon as a tomb or pyramid is un
covered, the stairway leading into the
tomb is the first to be cleared. This
had been filled in after the funeral
with the clean debris left after the ex
cavation of the rock-cut chambers and
the building of the pyramid. Then the
plunderers came, at some time or
other, and dug a hole in the clean fill
ing of each stair-way, this hole after
ward becoming stopped up paitly with
the things that the grave robbers
threw away as valueless, and partly
with drift sand. The robbers were na
turally after the gold and jewels they
knew had been buried in the royal
tombs.
It is easy to distinguish between the
original filling and the debris of the
thieves’ tunnel. The objects found in
the latter usually came from the royal
burial chamber and, in the records of
expeditions, have to be carefully dis
tinguished from other objects. When
the doorway at the foot of the stairs
has been reached, the workmen begin
to clear the pyramid above, or another
stairway, until the record of the block
ings and measurements of the stairs
have been made. After that, the sand
is removed, leaving only about 8 inch
es of the floor debris intact. What
ever is found in the sand—and it is
usually little enough—is considered as
having washed in from the thieves’
tunnel outside. When the sand is out,
then the serious and difficult work of
examining the floor debris and remov
ing it bit by bit begins, and for this
only the most skilled Egyptian work
ers are employed, under the super
vision of a member of the expedition.
This floor dirt is to the Egyptologist
what pay dirt is to th gold miner.

Miracle Water in England
Works Wonderful Cures.
“Miracle” water, said to contain the
elixir of life, has been discovered in
an old well in the little Essex village
of Vange. Stories of wonderful cures
effected by the water have caused
pilgrimages from many parts of the
country, people arriving on foot, with
teams and in luxurious motor cars.
A titled woman wh-o drank less than
two glasses said that it made her feel
better. A millionaire who drank from
the well took a jug of the water away
and told the humble
that if the water did
it would do the man
to do another day’s
An average of more than 500 visit
ors daily have been visiting the well
carrying every conceivable sort of re
ceptacle and all are served free.
The “miracle” water -was discover
ed during a drought by an eighty-year-
old farmer named George Murrell. He
had recourse to a puddle which never
seemed to dry up and used the water
for making tea. It has a curious taste,
but a few hours after drinking k Mur
rell felt a strange new vigor within
him. The next day he drank more
and said, ‘I felt better than I had in
twenty years.”
Murrell told about his discovery to
a seventy-year-old neighbor named
Charles Cash, who found that the
water came from a well. He drank
some of it and experienced the same
sensations as Murrell.
On the advice of a doctor a sample
was sent to a public analyst in Lon
don, who discovered an amazing com
bination of medical properties which,
he says, are not equaled even by the
famous springs in Bohemia. Then the
pilgrimages began. People suffering
from rheumatism, dyspepsia, gout and
skin diseases drank the water and
claimed that they were cured. There
were many ex-service men among
them. The farmers have been urged
to make a charge, but they will not
do so as they think the spring was
sent by God.
Meanwhile the village is crowded
and tents have been ordered to ac
commodate the visitors.

His reiteration of her name seemed
to rouse a sudden spark of fierce

knew, somehow, that Waldron would
sjjlll be there.
He was. And1 what had passed be
tween him and Marcia during those
hours no one would know. Together,
■ dumbly, they had faced not only the
‘realization that the darkness was
closing in upon her, but that the bar
rier between them was indeed im-
passElble.
Waldron had- asked no further
questions:. He and hits love were great
enough for compilete understanding of
Marcia’s motives lin acting as she had
done. If there was anything in his
heart for her save love, it was com
passion.
Only o-noe, with 'his lips on hers, he
had: cried., huskily, “Why should we
i stand apart ? Marcia, Marcia, what
: does the world matter—what does
anything matter—save just our love,
the little of joy that is left to us?”
She did1 not answer at once. When
she did she showed' herself for a mo
ment, stronger than hie.
“Nothing. Only the joy would turn
t:o ashes. A little cf the sweetness
would be tainted. And for you, after
ward, there would tie regret.”
She drew herself cut :of his hold
a moment later. Kempton had en
tered unannounced. He glanced quick
ly from one to the other. But he ad
dressed Waldron.
“Marcia has explained everything?”
He spoke jerkily. Waldron gave him
a close, long look and nodded.
“Yes. At least, I admit I’m still a
'bit In the dark as to your side of the
story. In Gcd’s name, Kemp-, what
made you consent? What motive had
you if you didn’t care, and I know it
was not that?”
“There’s such a thing as chivalry,
pity!” Miarcia broke in hurriedly. “It
was I who made the suggestion.

She stopped, her eyes meeting
Kempton’s. He stared, then flushed
sS'owly. There was that in his eyes
that brought tears to her own.
“You’re a brick!” he said to her
simply, then turned: again -to Waldron.
Tersely, very briefly, he toild him all
that Marcia had left out.

How Children Can Be Trained to Love
Music.
The educational possibilities of the
phonograph are coming to be realized
more and more, particularly in the
kindergarten and public schools.
Nowadays a phonograph is part of
the equipment of most up-to-date
schools and more or less organized
courses in music appreciation are in
cluded in the training. But a phono
graph in the home also offers many
opportunities for developing and
training the child mind that are fre
quently unsuspected!. Several of the
phonograph companies are devoting
considerable time and expense to this
phase of the work and there are many
records now available which parents |
will find interesting and valuable for.
children.
It is a well-established fact that:
music makes its deepest and most j
lasting impression in the early years j
of childhood. The parents who know |
what music makes the most genuine1
appeal and how to use it at this
period will be amply rewarded for;
their efforts. Among young children:

Whereabouts of the Kitchen Sink.
Certain it is that the sink is one
of the biggest savers of time,
strength, and labor in the home
■when properly located—and one of
the greatest burdens when missing or
of the wrong type.
Strange as it may seem, thousands
of women are struggling along with
no sink at all or, at best, a very poor
and badly placed one.
The size of the family and of the:
kitchen determines the size of the
sink, but a short sink with ample
table and shelf room near it may be
more convenient than a long sink.
Two smaller sinks, one for the table ■
dishes near the dining room and the;
other for general use in the kitchen,:
are very convenient.
The material'-should be the best,
available, non-absorbent of grease as'
well as of moisture, and there should
be no cracks or square corners to in-:
crease the work of keeping it clean.
A wooden sink, even when it receives
an annual coat of paint, will absorb
moisture and grease which attracts
insects, and is likely to be swarming
with bacteria and to “sour” and have
an unpleasant odor. Even drainboards
of wood are not best, unless they have
a waterproof finish of varnish, oil or
paint. If a wooden sink is necessary,'
it is better to have it metal lined,'
provided the sheets of metal, which is
usually tin, zinc/ galvanized iron, cop- ‘
per or lead, are soldered where they
are joined and all parts of the sink,!
including the tops of the sides, are
covered with the metal, &o that there
is no chance for the wood to absorb
moisture. Another plan is to have a
cement sink built into a wooden frame
and lined with sheet copper or tin
to make a smooth surface.
Enameled-iron sinks are smooth,
last well with careful use, and may
be easily kept clean, but they are more
expensive than iron. Porcelain sinks
are similar to the enameled ones, but
their price is almost prohibitive. Per
haps the ideal plan, if cost is not to
be considered, would be to have an
enameled or porcelain sink for the
tableware in the kitchen or pantry
near the dining room and an iron sink
or soapstone sink for the heavier kit
chen ware.
The double sinks, with one basin for
washing and another for draining
dishes, are very convenient, but un
fortunately they are relatively ex
pensive. A small sink with a rubber
stoppei* for its escape pipe may be
used as a dish pan.
If possible there should be a wide
shelf or drain board on each side of
the sink on the level with the rim of
the latter, on» to receive soiled dishes;
