It seems that the Egyptian priests cast a spell over the mummies so that any one who troubles them should die. In seventeen and ninety-nine Napoleon brought Cleopatra's mummy to Paris. She was put in a museum. The attendants died one after the other from an unknown disease. Others supplied their places, only to die-in turn. It became obvious that something queer was going on. The government tried a trick, which was to return Cleopatra's golden casket. This trick did no good, so Cleopatra was buried in a little garden near the National Library of France. A few years ago Lord Carnarvon was excavating King Tutankahmen's tomb. Before he had finished this work, however, he died as mysteriously as the others. We hope no more people will die from this terrible curse. Moral: Let mummies alone. -P. H. BAGBY, JR., ' Age 9 Years. L1-L01
