THE TEST OF MAN
The place to take the true measure of a man is
not the forum or the field, not the market place or
the amen corner, but at his own fireside. There he
lays aside his mask and you may judge whether he’s
imp or angel, king or cur, hero or humbug. I care
not what the world says of him, whether it crown
him with bays or pelt him with bad eggs; I care
never a copper what his reputation or religion may
be; if his babes dread his homecoming and better
half swallows her heart every time she has to ask
him for a five dollar bill, he’s a fraud of the first
water, even though he prays night and morn till he’s
black in the face, and howls Hallelujah till he shakes
the eternal hills. But if his children rush to the
front gate to greet him, aild love’s own sunshine il
lumines the face of his wife when she hears his foot
fall, you may take it for granted that he’s true gold,
for his home’s heaven and the humbug never gets
that near the great white Throne of God.

MUMMY CASE IN
PLATES OF GOLD
LID OF KING TIT’S SARCOPHAGUS
IS RAISED—SURPASSES IN
SPLENDOR AND DISCOVERY IN
HISTORY OF EGYPTOLOGY
Luxor, Egypt.—The greatest discov
ery in the history of Egyptology, even
ais many Uaim, in archaeology, was
made this afternoon in the plainly
adorned sepulchral chamber of Tut
ankh-amen in the Valley of the Kings.
In the presence of a gathering rep
resenting the elite of Egyptology, the
lid of Tut-ankh-amen’s great pink
sarcophagus was raised, and a stu
pendously magnificent, mummy case,
covered with plates of solid gold, was
brought to light.
The moment was the most dramatic
in the history of the dramatic discov
ery of Tutankhamen’s tomb. By gen
eral consent of those present the mum
my-form case which indubitably en
closes the king’s motrad remains, im
measurably surpasses in splendor and
beauty even the previous magnificent
treasures the excavators in this tomb
have brought to light.
The mummy case is perefctly intact
It is described as one of the most won
derful things of its kind that ever has
been found. The pharaoh is represent
ed in high relief, covered with sheets
of solid gold, more than twice life-size
his serene and beautful face exquisite
ly incised with glittreing eyes of ara
gonite and a long upcurved beard of
solid gold. The flail and sceptre
which the king grasps in his crossed
hands are of gilded wood more than
three feet long. From the waist down
the broad wings of protective goddess
es meet across the knees to shield the
pharaoh from danger.
When the lid was raised the mummy
case was found to be covered with
three thicknesses of linen, browned
with age. This linen, when rolled up,
disclosed to the bewildered eyes of the
excavators as one of those present
told a correspondent of the Associated
Press, “a gleaming, golden man.”
The mummy case stands in a coffin
on what seems to be a wooden sleigh
it to the Valley of the Kings.
To picture the scene of this tremen
dous find one must visualize aj narrow,
low-roofed vault, the walls of which
are decorated with rather garish re
ligious scenes which King Ay had
painted in honor of himself and his
predecessors; in the foreground a
group of guests, bareheaded, in shirt
sleeves and unpleasantly warm, jcist
ling, ,one another in the heart of the
tomb; in the background beneath scaf
folding, pulleys and ropes, the plain
huge mass of the royal scracophagus,
brilliantly illuminated under the blind
ing rays of an 8,000-candle power el
ectric lamp.
Of the Egyptologists there, first
and foremost were Prof. James H.
Breasted, University of Chicago, whose
name hold a high place in the annals
of Egyptology; Prof. Percy E New
berry, acknowledged authority on an
cient Egypt, Prof. Tie.re Lacau head
of the famous Cairo Museum; George
Foucart and H. E, Winlock, both of
whom, like rtowaiu Carter, are prac
tical diggers; Albert M. Lytiigoe, cur
ator of the department of Egypt ologv
fci the Metropolitan Museum of Art,
New York, and Dr. Robert Moud, well
known as an excavator and who at
present is conducting interesting ex
cavations in the tombs of the nobles
These men formed the bulk of the
critical spectators; who presently
were to be thrilled to almost speech
lessness, by what the coffin of Tut
ankh-amen revealed.
When a4l fiad assembled in the
tomb, Mr. Carter turned to the tall
swarthy figure of the Egyptian secre
tary of state for public work, and re
quested permission to begin the work
of raising the lid of the coffin. This
was immediately granted.
“Gentlemen,” said Mr. Carter, “we
are going to raise the lid of hte sarcop
hagus, and we hope to find the king
within.” So saying he placed himself
2it one of the ropes running through
pulleys suspended from either end of
the coffin, attached to four iron
clamps gripping the corners of the lid
and with four white clad native fore
men at the other ropes, the work be
gan.
Slowly and swakingly, hut without
noise and mishap, so carefully had
the work been prepared for, the lid
came up. Once or twice when one
side rose higher than the other the lid
had to be lowered again, so that in all
the operation lasted a full half hour.
At last a halt was called and the lid
remained suspended a good three feet
above the coffin. Mr. Carter was the
first to glance within. He saw only a
mass of dirty brown cloth, strangely
billowing up. It was a tense moment.
The twenty odd men were the first
time in history written in the annals
cf their science gazing upon the invio
late tomb of a king of ancient Egypt
What the age-stained cloth concealed
was the question uppermost in the
minds of all present.
Mr. Carter and Mr. Callender, an as
sistant, bent over the coffin and start
ing from the front, began to roll up
the veil. Slowly and carefully they
went about their work. At first a
blackened mass appeared. But then
there came a glimpse of gold, and
as a covering was drawn off there was
disclosed before the amazed and en
thralled gaze of the little group of
guests a huge golden figure of the
king.
As for the first time in over thirty
centuries light had struck into the
sarcophagus—not the yellow lamp
light under which the Pharaoh was
coffined, but the steely, white glare of
the powerful electric a t rc lights—it
was as though a great golden man lay
buried there. There lay the effigy of
I the king, a blaze of gold moulded in
high relief, like a crusader on the
tomb, in sheets of solid gold upon the
j mummy case shaped to the form of the
mummy which undoubtedly is within.
I The king was shown wearing the
j “News” or golded headdress seen on
the sphinx and in the center of which
in lapis lazuli, was the sacred ureaus
or cogra, side by side with a hawk’j
head. Framed in the golden folds of
the wig-like headdress Tutankha
men’s face appeared; it was that wist
ful, beautiful boyish face which is
seen so often in the hunting scenes
adorning his chariots, with gleaming
eyes of aragonite strangely and verily
life-like, a slender, finely curved nose
and exquisitely carved sensitive mouth
and a chin adorned with the tradi
tional curving beard.
The artistic merit of the work was
designated by those who saw it as of
the highest description, eclipsing any
thing hithertd discovered in this tomb
which has been so rich in artistic
masterpieces of the eighteenth dynas
ty. The dignity of the figure of the
king is superb, with the arms crossed
on the breast, the right hand grasping
the crooked scepter, the sign of sover-
THE TRUCE CITIZEN SATURDAY, MARCH, 1, 19**
eignity and the left a flail, symbol of
dominin. The hands are beautifully
modelled. Beneath the crossed arms
dcwn the front of the case runs the
tradition prayer for the king, together
with his two now familiar, cartouches
one with the name of Tutankhamer
and the other with his official title
Rakheperuneb.
’ The only blemish on the golden
sheet of the mummy case is that the
feet are black, as though bitumin had
stanied them. The mummy case,
which fits fairly closely within the
sarcoiphagus, appears to stand on a
wooden sleigh on which in so many
mural reliefs in the tombs of the knigs
the royal mummy is depicted as be
ing dragged for burial.
Contrary to expectations no wreaths
weer found, bearing a pathetic little
chaiplet of discolored and withered
flowers encircling the uraeus and the
hawk’s head in front of the royal head
dress.
Those who were privileged to wit
ness hte historic scene were fairly
overcome by the beauty and brililance
toof the find. They overwhelmed Mr.
Carter and his colelagues with congra
tulations. After havoing spent an
hour and a quarter in the tomb the
party emerged and proceeded to the
tomb where excavators habitually
lunch and had tea and other refresh
ments.
The opening of this mum
my case is such a formidable opera
tion that it will not be under taken
this year, Mr. Marter, it is understood
does not propose t omake any furth
er investigations beyond recording his
work for this season. As far as fresh
discoveries are concerned this year’s
work In the tomb of Tut-ankh-amen
nas been completed.
