Ancient IVIonuinentS. The tnia

But experts who* have been
studying stories about the great.
ages to which, many of there

are saying bluntly that the so-
called longevity of carp is dubi-
ous,
"Carp certainly don't become
centenarians nowadays and it's
very doubtful if they ever did,'
pays one, "The greatest age fop
a carp for which we have reli-
able evidence is forty years,"
Yet fantastic stories about
carp centenarians are likely to.
linger in many parts of the
world.
Strange .methods for recording
the age of a fish . were once
adopted if the story about a carp
found in a pond in Swabia (an
early Duchy of Germany) in
1497 is true.
The fish ,is said to have had
in its gills a metal ring bearing
the following inscription in La-
tin: "I am the first fish that was
ever put into this pond by the
'hand of Frederick II, Governor
of the•World, on the 5th day of
October, A.D. 1230."
According to this, the carp
must have been at least 267
years old.
Many years ago a giant carp
weighing 281/2 lbs. taken to the
aquarium at the London Zoo
was nicknamed Methuselah be-
cause it was believed to be very
old. 'This gave rise to the story
that it was 150 , years old. One
writer hailed it as "the biggest
fish in Europe."
Carp in Britain are usually
kept as interesting additions to
Ornamental watersaBut in parts
of Europe, partiallarly in Russia
and Poland, the carp is a popu-
lar food, Great farms, with acres

An Egyptian King
Tells His Story •
The young king's accession to
the throne came at a moment
in Egyptian history when, thanks
to almost two centuries of un-
paralleled achievement both at
home and abroad, the country
was at the pinnacle of its politi-
cal power, economic prosperity,
end cultural development. More-
over, the world was at peace and
there was leisure for the ruler
and the people of Egypt to en-
joy the many pleasures and lux-
uries which We now had to
offer them and to indulge to the
full a truly oriental penchant
for opulence and display.
Typical in every respect of
the brilliant setting over which
he presided, Anaunhotpe III con-
trived throughout his long reign
to combine the unwavering pur-
suit of all manner of • worldly
pleasures with a program of
self-glorification more elaborate
and on a far grander scale than
any previously undertaken:
The king's desire that his
every action be made known
to the world is attested by the
extraordinary series of large
commemorative scarabs which
he caused to be issued during
his first twelve years on the
throne and which, like modern

throughout the country and even

outposts of the empire.
The first series, of these scar-
abs, carved at the very begin-
rang of the reign, announces the
pharaoh's marriage to Teye,
woman of non -royal birth; and
with engaging 'frankness, which,
is repeated on many of the king's
later monuments, gives the
names of her untitled parents,
`Nye and Tjuyu, adding, how-
ever, that "she is (now), the
wife of a mighty king"' whose
empire extends from Karoy in
the northern Sudan to Naharin
in western Asia. Three scarabs
of this series, acquired by the
Museum with the Ward, M,urch,
and Carnarvon collections, are
made, as are most of their mates,
of glazed steatite and measure
between three and three and a
half inches in length. Character-
istically, the first five lines of
the ten-line announcement in-
scribed on their undersides are
taken up with the titulary of

Btn Nevis, Britain's highest
and most isolated mountain, was
dramatically in the news recent,,.
ly when a climber fell 000 ft. to
his death from its Tower Ridge
on the north face after rock on
which he had been standing
pee way.
4,406-foot whale-bieked
mountain has more sudden
changes of weather at its summit
than almost any other mountain
in the world. Experienced climb-
ers say that Nevis hurricanes are
the most terrible in Europe,
But if a climber is lucky he
can basic in the hot sun while
sitting comfortably on A bed of

joy an astonishing silence brolc-
en only by the remote murmur
of a waterfall far down in the
valley borne up to him On an
eddy of wind,
When many years ago an ob-
servatory was established on the
summit for the study of weather
conditions—its ruins can still be
seen on the summit—Mr. Wil-
liam T. Kilgour, the superinten-
dent, and his staff settled down
to live in .`the highest house in
Britain," as ,they called it.
Theirs was a tough job, One
night, Mr. Kilgour related, a ter-
rific storm began to blow from
the south-east and within min-
utes the wind was blowing at
more than 120 miles an hour.
""The boOm of the storm, the
creaking of timbers and the rat-
tle of the iron chimneys was so
terrific that the building, despite,
its ten-feet thick walls, shook to
the foundations," he said.
"The cold was so intense that
a thermometer placed six feet
from a roaring fire recorded five
degrees of frost. •
"All outside observations had
to be abandoned because no one
could stand ,or even creep to
windward."
The observatory was main-
tained until 1905, when it was
closed for lack of' adequate sup-
, port.
A young London mountaineer
was lashed to a rock near the
summit of Ben Nevis for eighe
teen hours in 1948 after he had
been trapped on a ledge when
his climbing rope broke. For
several hours he directed rescu-
ers from Fort William by shout-
ing and waving. They got him
down safely.
Using a rough track which
leads from the foot of Ben, Nevis
to the summit, an Inverness-
shire man some years ,ago climb-
ed the mountain on' a 2% h.p.
motor-cycle in three hours forty
minutes.
Although on the ascent of five
miles the , average, gradient is
about one ,in five, no engine
trouble was experienced,
Special care had to be taken
in the descent which was ac-
complished with the engine cut
off. When the 'base was reached
it was found that the ,rear brake
had been worn away till it ewes

Racing on foot from Fort Wil-
liam to the, summit of Ben Nevis

times, A. man named William

Bow To The Prince
,Or Land Jail !
On a recent visit to his native
India, D0111 Moraes, poet and
youngest Hawthornden Prize-
winner, stayed at the palace of
a Rana, one of the feudal lords
who had life-and-death power
over their subjects until 1951.
"All the corridors," he writes,
"Were hung with framed illus-
trations from magazines, alter-
nating with the heads of assas-
sinated tigers, ,and photographs
of dead Ranas tiger-whiskered,
soulful-eyed and clutching jewel-
led swords,"
On one occasion iVforaes was
sitting with a friend waiting to
be received by his host. An en-
ormous Himalayan bear crouch-
. ed next to the sofa, He assumed
it was stuffed — until it snarled
at him, rose and shambled out
through the door!
All over Khatmandu, he says,
Ranas, originally Indian prince-
lings, built fantastic palaces
Where they lived surrounded by
women they had abducted from
their families. When a Rana
passed, any citizen who failed to
do obeisance till he was out of
sight was, flung into jail.
As late as 1942 the chief Rana
would ride an elephant through
the streets every month, while
the women stood outside their
houses, Whichever of them took'
his fancy were at once seized by
soldiers and taken to his harem.
Any husbands or fathers who
protested were jailed. Halembu,
a- mountain village renowned for
its beautiful women, was raided
and every woman taken off to
the harems,
One of the Rana's sons told
Moraes ,that his father wanted
to send him to Eton. To finance
the trip they had to go to the
family head, the grandfather,
who flew "into a rage' and said:
"No grandson of mine Will be
permitted to defile himself by
crossing the black waters to
England But I will be reason-
able. If you like, you may hire
all the masters from Eton and
bring them here,"
Later, the grandfather fell
A British Surgeon was fetched
from India, He found that the
palace was oil top of an unroad-
ed hill and wondered how on
earth he could get his equip-
ment up. That night he slept in
a tent at the foot-of the hill
and awoke next morning to find
a react leading from his tent
door to the palace gate, It had
been built in six hours by sieve-
gang relays working through the
night!
IVItiraes gives a brilliant ac-,
count of his three Months tour
in "Gone. Away." It included
talks with Nehru arid the exiled
Dalai Lama.
