MUMMY WHEAT.

[To THE EDITOR or TUN "SPECTATOR:Pi SIR,—About the year 1848 an Egyptian mummy was unrolled in public, in Bristol. I do not think I was myself present, but I know that some members of my family were. Some grains of wheat were distributed from the mummy case, and came into my possession. I planted them in 1849, and they produced seven-eared wheat. I do not think any doubt can be thrown as regards the facts.—I am, Sir, Sze., Clifton, Bristol, October 11th. WALTER STURGE.
