REMOVAL OF GREAT DOORS
OF TOMB OF TUTANKHAMUN
REVEALS ANCIENT SCEPTRES
Further Valuable Discoveries
Made as Outer Shrine of
I ' 1
Pharoah's Sarcophagus Is
Entered by Explorers
LUXOR, Egypt, Dec. 9.—(By the
Associated Press.)—Removal of the
doors of the blue and gold
canopy over the nest of shrines in
Tutenkhamun’s tomb has, it is un
derstood, revealed a find which con
stitutes. an excellent augury for
Howard Carter's high hopes of dis
covering for the first time in the his
tory of Egyptology, the full pic
turesque regalia of an Egyptian
king.
This find is a large collection of
gilded sceptres, both of the variety
with sloping head pieces and of the
equally well-known crook shape, the
one signifying power or strength and
the other, rule.
The Egyptian god Osiris is habit
ually depicted as carrying one or
both. There were also discovered
various staves, one of which had
a heavy solid head, slendidly jeweled
in faience and glass. All these arti
cles bear the now famous cartouche
of Tutenkhamun.
Another alabaster vase of fine
workmanship also is saicl to have
been found. These articles w’ere re
moved with the utmost care to the
ante-chamber of the tomb for pre
liminary preservative treatment in
preparation for their transfer to the
laboratory in the tomb of Sdti IL
A closer examination of the great
linen pall, studded with golden ro
settes, which hangs over the second
shrine, shows it has come apart, one
portion lying on the ground between
the two shrines.
Professor Percy Newberry, the re
nowned British Egyptologist, who
has joined Carter’s staff, spent the
morning in the laboratory. Later ho
visited the tomb for the first time
and examined the collection of scep
tres and staves.
The excavators worked two hours
after lunch today packing up their
new finds in boxes for removal to
the laboratory. The opening of the
second shrine probably will be de
ferred until the first shrine or can
opy has been taken down, an opera
tion which will require several days.
The increasing evidences of the
splendor in which the Pharaoh was
laid to rest justify the expectation
that as the dismantling of the
shrines proceeds the various com
ponent parts of the monarch’s state
attire may be brought to light.
Mr. Carter hopes to find all four
of the official head-dresses of the
king, namely, the high sugar loaf
white crown of upper Egypt, the red,
sloping head-dress with projecting
upcurled tongue which was the
crown of lower Egypt; the double
crown combing these two, and the
blue crown, or battle helmet, with its
close-fitting cap, known aS the che
peresh.
The Egyptologists have at present
no idea of how these head-dresses
were constructed, but have surmised
that they were built up on some kind
of wicker frame.' i

Columbian Mammoth’s
Bones Discovered by
Geologist in Florida i
MELBOURNE, Fla., Dec. 7.—The i
bones of a Columbian mammoth, 12 j
feet high and 24 feet long, were dug ’
from the sand, shell-marl and muck
bed of Crane’s creek here Wednes
day and Thursday by Prof. Fred B. ♦
Loomis, of Amherst college geolog
ical chair.
The mammoth mired down in the
mud in the second glacial period,
about ,50,000 years ago, according to
Dr. Loomis. He expressed the opin- ■
ion that it was forced south by the
ice into a latitude where no proper
food existed.
Four big teeth were found, all of 1 •
the left thigh bone a**d part of the
right, an upper arm bone, fifteen
vertebrae, twenty ribs, foot bones
and four feet of tusk, eight inches in
diameter.
Also there was found bones of an 1 *
extinct Florida deer and other small
animals.
The tusk of the mammoth showed
that originally they were eight feet
long and indicated an animal 25 per
cent larger than the Asiatic els- 1
phant, Dr. Loomis said.
