Besides the common pots tor kitchen use, and the fine vases tor the parlor, there Were diecovered mazes t1 weed wonderfully inlaid. with pieces of color-, ed glass, showing tiaat the secret of manufacturing glass was known even then. This seems to indicate a long period of preparation or development, for men aid not invent gtass when they were crude and uncivianad, In fact, the discoveries at A.uydos open so wide a vista of possibilides that we are scarcely surprised to hear that the tombs of the gods oP Egypt, have been actually found. But before this startling discovery was mad.e. E, Ame- linett41 stirred up the world's Egypto- logists by the announcement that lie had found the name s of 16 royal per- sonages hitherto anknown. He knew that they were royal, for their names were written in a public devate, and it Was justas it the scuiptor had engrav- ed. King So and. So. et is teem these designs that. the word Pharoah is dee rived, or rather the devise eignifies Pharoah, from 'the Egyptian Per -aa. "Great House," that is, the place of the coutt. When M. Amelineau opened some of these graves he found tbem to he the tombs of theseegreat unknown kings, already acknowledged as kings cot Tap- per and Lower Egypt, but not yet known as Sons at the Sun, the title of the late Egyptian monarchs. Among these was one whose naris he reads Den, and another Qa, and 14 besides, some of whose titles could net be read, as they were entirely new. For instance, one veas indicated. by the sculpture of a sexpent, but how this ie to be pronounceci or what it xneans no Egyptologist bus yet touted out Oa comparing the names just eaund With all the long list of Egyptiat Phaeoalie, not one like any of them could be found, and it was very logically eon- cludea that these antedate Menes, and that only now are we reaclaitig the earliest history of Egypt. THE wEsntosT FORT la on the range ot bills belfiud Pre- toria, and Ilea at a distance et 10,300 yards northwest of the centre of the city. The powerful redoubt to the southwest of Pretoria, 3,800 yards from the centee of the city, on the range of Wile through which the transport road to johannesbarg pass - ea completes the circle of the larger 'work e defending the Boer capital. Be- hind this redoubt are the principal smnga z Erneeckwith ah si oondeexcavaotmet-eomuotofro0ftohre odd , ad the other built into the kloop, al- so bomb -proof. Communication be- tween the redoubt and the last men- tioned magazine is by means of n cov- ered way. Roads connect all these forts with the capital, and they have pipes laid lar water, as welt as elec- trio cahlea for the search lights. The number of guns mounted. on the forte and redoubts is said to be 120 of large calibre and quickfiring of different kinds. It is stated that some of the guns are of 28 centimetres ca.ibre, but this ia doubtful; it is known, however, that there are quite a number of 15 -centimetre guns of French make from the Creusot works and of long range, as has been shown by their performance at Ladysmith. Among the °there there are Krupps, Maxims and other machine and. quick - firing guns. The forts are open to the rear to- ward Pretoria, and are of masonry heavily faced with earth toward the open country. On the east side of the circle of defence there was no regular fore in existence when hostilities be- gan, but it is probable that since then the ridge to the eastwar& of the city, by which the railway to Delagoa Bay runs, has been fortified. THE SIEGE TRAIN just shipped from England for South Africa, presumably for Pretoria, is the second sent out during the last forty-six years. • The Mat occasion was when sixty-five heavy guns and mortars were sent from Woolwich for the siege of Sebastopol where with fifty shipguns, they took part in the bombardment of that city in con- junction with the French siege train. The Russian defenee, however, devel- oped so rapidly under the inspiration of Todieben, that before the final as- sault which placed it int the hands of the allies, the number of guns in posi- tion in the besieging batteries had been raised to 806. The traia now on its way out from England comprises thirty howitzers, fourteen or 8 -inch calibre, eight of 5 -inch, and eight of 4 -inch. The number is not formid- able in itself under the. old condi- tions in regard to explosives, but if they are, as may be tuferreth intead-1 ed to throw lyddite shells, it is an ex- ceedingly formidable armament and, unless the Boers are in possession of projectiles charged with =arias or some similar, high explosive :with which to respond to the British fire, the siege of Pretoria shoula not be of very long duration. It is calculated that the investment will require fully 42,000 British troops, leaving the re- maiecier of the "army to guard the communications, occupy certain stra- -legit: points and opereto against that part of the Boer Army not required for the defence of Pretoria.
