Disappointed but not downcast, Dr. Reisner hunted further, in recesses of the Cheops Pyramid itself. Last May he found the tomb of one of Cheops' granddaughters and a canopic box containing organic matter in a yellowish liquid.

Because he fails to join in the titter which floods its liquid way about the platform of learning, the Parnassus of dulness, never believe him uneducated in humor.
