in / ome, } 151' UCIUIX G5 UUUU lJ`\J 1 .Cleopatra s needle, which now M stands on the Thames Embankment in London, and other similar obelisks ~ are full of memories of a civilization entirely different to ours. These ob- elisks, some of them one hundred feet long and four hundred tons in weight, are solid pieces of granite quarried two thousand years before the Christian era. The obelisk known as Cleopatra's needle was inscribed and covered with sheet gold and stood at the temple at Karnak. Augustus Caesar had `it removed to Alexandria, where. it eventually fell into disuse. In the early days of British occupation of Egypt, some of the Tommies were interested in the great column of granite and the Khedive offered it to the British Gov- ernment, who, however, because of the difficulties of transportation, re- fused to accept it. Only when the Khedive offered to pay the cost of transportation did _k the Government accept the obelisk, and .with much difficulty it was conveyed to England.

The temple of Ammon was the greatest temple ever erected to-any divine -being; It was large `enough to contain thirteen of the largest _cathedra1s `of Europe and its main` sanctuary alone would contain the cathedrals of St. Peter s at Rome, Notre Dame at Paris and St. Paul's at London, and it was not only great in `size but beautiful in every detail. .Tn `IQRO 9 amnnf nd urn: mnn -in I Those who heard thevlecture given by Dr. S. A. B..Mercer of the_Uni- versity of Toronto to the Women's ` \Canadian Club on Tuesday night on `.`The Romance of E:Ecavations could not but `be thrilled as the speaker un- folded the tale of some of thewon-, derful discoveries -that have been made- by? arc-heologists, bringing to people of modern days a knowledge w of conditions and events `of an age severarthousand years before Christ. ~ The- s eaker drew his illustrations from . gypt, Bablyonia, Persia and Palestine. Dr. Mercer is one of the foremost archeologists on the con-. tinent and it is interesting to Barrie People to know that several of. his ectures have been published in book form -and will shortly be obtainable at the public library. Archeology, as treated by . some speakers, is a rather dull subject, but Dr. Mercer makes it as interesting as any subject possibly could be. Members of the Club, re- membering the splendid lecture given by Dr. -Mercer a year ago, turned out in ' large" numbers and there was a splendid attendance.

When Nap- oleon wa defeated by Nelson and Sydney mith, this little piece of black, diorite came into the` possession of the British and was placed in the British Museum. The, Rosetta stone is inscribed in three scripts, the old hieroglyphics, an `abbreviated form of that script and Greek-\letters. The inscriptions weremade in the time of Ptolemy V, about.196 B.C., and when the key was di covered after` years of -labor it was ound that the inscrip- tions formed the record of the his- tory, the social, religious, family and economic. life of the Egyptians, as far back as 5000 -B.'C. f1I-..'.__L....)- ......J1.. -.aL:-L unn- OF EXCAVAHONS I Rvv.` Dr. Merger VLVe ctures Con. - Wonders :of'Arc;heo1ogical ~ % Discoveries " 591515 LI-(Il_l.
