"WHAT HAS BECAME OF THE MUMMY?"

Abbé Drietton then raises the question, ''What has become of the mummy of Tutankhamen, and_ the riches buried with the remains?" This problem he considers will be solved by the recent discovery. The first two rooms are filled with all kinds of objects of value; second, especially, contains a miscellaneous collection piled up to the roof. If im the third chamber the mummy of Tutankhamen is not found in the customary.posture, with all inscriptions in the right places, there wil] be no more doubt, according to Abbé Drietton, that the three chambers are nothing but a hiding place to which Armais consigned his hated predecesser with all his burial treasures.

The presence of a golden throne among the treasures, says the eminent Egyptologist, proves that the chambers have never been pillaged, and that consequently articles is' not due to this cause, but that they were so placed originally.—Reuter.
