London, May 5 Several highly inter
esting and important finds in the shape of
Egyptian sculpture recently discovered. 1
have been placed on view at the British
Museum. Foremost among them Is
collection of three statues of Usertosen
III who reigned a 00142 00 before Christ
representing the kir.g at three different
periods of his life, in youth, in middle age,
and as an old man with sunken efieera.
Ths figures which are of gray granite,
measure little over five feet in height, and
show the king wearing the characteristic
Egyptian apron, upon which is Inscribed
his name in hieroglyphics.
There is also a collosial limestone fig
ure of Amenophis I., who ' reigned about
1700 before Christ, representing the king
a the god Osiris, wearing the red and
white crown, symbolizing upper and lo wer
Egypt. On the back of the statue is a
portion of an inscription, which reads;
"Amenhetep. beloved of Amen, Lord of
the Thrones of the two lanjs, Giving
Life." .' ,..'.;,

London. May 2 According to official
reports Great Britain has at present no
less than six battleships, ten armored
cruisers, eighteen destroyers and fifteen
eub-marine under construction. During
the year 1906-7 four armored vessels,
seventeen' destroyers and 'twelve sub
marines will be commenced. The de
signs of the vessels have not yet been
determined, and it is, therefore, 'to form
an exact idea of the total liability that
will be ncurred by ther Admiralty pro
posals. As far as can be gathered from
the cost of recent corresponding types,
however, the large amount $40,000,000
will be absorbed as the aggregate cost
of these vesselsj and the sole provision
made during 1906-7 to . meet this ex
penditur amounts to about $3,000,000
which is roughly one twelfth of the total

WW NATIONAL HYMN
(Scrlpps News Association)
New York, May 3. A new American
national hymn, adapted to the words of
"My Country 'Tie of Thee" by its coin
poser, Prof Giacomo Quintano, and sung
by a chorus of children, will be the feat-
ure of a musical which Prof. Quintano
will give at the Waldorf-Astoria this
evening. The melody of the hymn, as
comp- sed by the Professor, is said to be
worthy of the stirring words of the
national anthem. This will be the first
time that this composition has been
publicly performed.
