New York.—The presence of a mas ter mind among the engineers who built the pyramids at Lisht, near Cairo, with evidence of his Ingenuity in the use of the caisson to sink the shafts for the burial of noble dead, has been revenled by the Egyptian expedition of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, throuzh excavations last year in the Nile valley. According Ambrose lansing, head of the expedition, the application of the caisson principle by the Egyptian tomb builders thirty-nine centuries ago is the earliest yet covered, Twi separate types known of the device which has made possible many of the huge erec- tions of the present day, were uncov ered by the expedition. One, a stone and rick affair, remained almost per- foetly Intact; the other, made of wood, could be identified only by traces of its rotted beams. The appliances were among the most striking of several In teresting discoveries which were made relating to the methods of pyramid building In Egypt and to the life of the time, according to the museum report.

Work was begun in the outer court at the west side of the huge mound, “Although we falled at first to find any '* writes Mr, Lansing, “it is fortunate that we did not give up clearing this part of the court. Had we done so we might have missed what was, from an archeological point of view ut least, the most interesting dis Describing the pits, covdry of the season” method used by ancient Egyp- tian genius In penetrating beyond a treacherous substratum of loose sand, which had handicapped the digging of the tombs, Mr. Lansing says: “They cut through the hard upper stratum to the sand level, making the cutting sufficiently large to aliow for a brick lining to the pit. A block of limestone was then cut to the same dimensions as the pit. This was hol lowed out to the size of the Intended shaft and then lowered Into the pit until It rested on the sand, On the rim of the ealsson was bull! a brick wall, When this wall had been con structed to the level of the ground the digging of the pit was recommenced, As each basketful of sand moved, the stone ealsson, and with It the brick wall which rested on it, set tied slightly, Gradually the stone sank through the sand, and as It sank Courses brickwork added to the wall above ™ Work Described in Inscription, Discovery of on huge stones used for giant pyramid brought forth other not- able facts which enabled the archenlo- gis to plece together a vivid picture of the manner in which the stone was brought from the quarries at Tura, on bank of the Nile twenty miles distant from Lisht, and deposited at the foot of the pyramid under construction, The transportation heavy stones, says Mr. Lansing, was chiefly a matter of man power, The problem was to keep the masons supplied with thaterial to prevent any interruption of their Inbors. This was accom plished by taking advantage the flooding of the Nile, which reduced the distance the blocks of stone bad to be dragged. Mr. Lansing gives a picture of the assembling of the stones on the east bank for the arrival of the flood, followed by a massed concentration on the task of loading the barges, towing them to Lisht and unlosding them there some was re of were inscriptions the opposite of these of Students Find Fossils Pittsburgh.—Within the limits of Pittsburgh, high school students un. earthed excellent specimens of 2.000. 00-year-old fossils on & recent ex. ploration trip.

There wins a Lime many years ago when paper money in these low denom- instions was in common circulation. Then there was a much more reason- able assurance of the money passing undetected through the post than when the amounts were in nickel or silver, jut “shin plasters, as this paper money was derisively termed, have been of circulation a long time. Even with them, there was no government guar antee security. There was, how ever, the flatness of paper, and the small size which made it difficult to detect when placed in letters Today many ways are used for pro tection In sending small coins through the mall, It Is Im perative to observe three things, one Is flatness. Another Is close sealing of velopes so that no crevices anywhere remain through which a ; work its way out.

This Is the use of colin cards in which there are circular holes into which to fit the coins of different denominations under fifty cents Across the back of each card a paper Is pasted, and there is a flap over the front of the card to be pasted down after the coin is in sertied and is to be malled In this way the coin cannot slip out or work its way through an envelope or detecied as a wee lump in the sealed envelope, these ” out of en eonin could mention of ne Homemade Coin Cards Any person can make these circular perforated cards if on pasteboard they mark around a coin and cut out the space inside the circle. They should also remember to have the card ap proximately the size of the envelope and have paper pasted across front and finally across the back of the card.
