Expedition Finds Pyramid
Builders Employed Them.
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.
Findings Made Ne:ar Cairo.
The finds were made at the site of

forty miles south of Cairo, where the
museum expedition resumed operations
a year ago after an absence of six
yeurs ut Thebes, Se'n-Worset, the sec

personally directed the building of the
tomb and it was during the search for
the burial places of the ladies of the
royal family that the archeologists
found the cuisson pits.
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

view ut least, the most interesting dis

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

structed to the level of the ground the
digging of the pit was recommenced,
As each basketful of sand

Work Described in Inscription,
Discovery of on huge

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

Calculus was not

low, and, contrary
to the belief and

college usually mean poor or Indiffer

But slow as he was, Plank had a
quality which bade fair to offset his
slowness of brain. He never gave a

he kept at It until It was solved. If
he falled today, he came back tomor-

Any person can make these circular
perforated cards if on pasteboard they
mark around a coin and cut out the

also remember to have the card ap

and have paper pasted across front
and finally across the back of the
card. This is one of the secure ways
