POISON ON COFFIN. NKAV YORK, June 17
Doctor Frederick Cowles, Fellow of the .Koynl Geographical Society, recently returned from Egypt, says that Lord Carnarvon’s death was traced directly to a poison coating upon Tutankhamen’s casket, and the illness of a number of others engaged in the excavations of the tomb was also traced to the same source.
The poison coating on the casket had crumpled into dust, but evidently it had not lost any of its strength. The doctor added that the qualities of this poison, like the gold furniture in the tomb, was made by the ancient Egyptians, ami far surpassed anything produced by modern civilisation.
