The harvest of in- scribed records obtained has been small. and most of these have found their way into the hands of native deal- era The work ot'exploration upon the site was manifestly one requiring time and money, as well as systematic di- rection. This work has at last been on- dertaken by an expedition organi by the German Oriental society, u er the direction of therable architect, Dr. Robert Koldowey, and a staff of Assyri- ologists, among whom have been Dr's. ‘Dehtzbch. Hilprecht. and Weisshach, and results of the greatest importance ‘have been obtained. Nebuehndnesm's Palace. , The work Was commenced upon the great mound known as the “finer" or f’pnlnce,” a tradition which the reâ€" searches have confirmed, for here has hen found the great royal residence or Nebuchadnezzar the Great (B. C. 604‘ 561.) and'his successorsâ€"a building which was justly described by its royal builder as the “palace upon which gaze the eyes of all nations.” This vast cdl- lice uponâ€"which all the wealth of the Orient was lavished-gold, siivcr, and precious stones, cedar of Lebanon, and other precious woods Were used without stintâ€"the ruins of such royal edifice must be worthy of exploration. The most. important discovery made as yet is that of the royal banqueting hall or thr’oneroom. a vast chamber 120 feet long and 60 broad, and which had once ben richly decorated with painted stuc- co, as described by the prophet Ezekiel. At the end was a raised dais. on which was placed the “King's table.” and in he center was a recess or alcove, where his throne had stood. The researches have proved that this was the palace in which Alexander died (B. C‘. 323). and there is every reason to believe that it was in this room the drunken orgle took place in which his friend was clain, and the grief-stricken king lin- The is every Just reason to cuppa-e the: its wax in this chamber the fntnl last banquet of Beinhauar we: held. when the corridors leading to it echoed to the tread of the advancing soldiers of Gobyras. the general or Cyruumd on-thatnight (Tammuz 16, B.

Leaving this chamber and passing without the palace ruins still more in- teresting discoveries await us. On the east side of the palace Were found the remains of a. stone-paved broadway. The t ce was about 80 feet wide. and has bee excavated for a distance of ome 420 feet, and'the direction being ascertained, the termination being found near the southeast corner of the mound, making a total length of about l,_400 feet, or over a quarter of 'a mile. it may well be compared with our Parlia- ment street. for atone end- was the royal palace. like that of Weatmlnster. and the sides were flanked by royal res- idences, temples. and government build- ings. Below. on the west. were the royal grounds. and beyond those the "great river Euphrates." The whole length was paved with blocks of breccla of a reddish color, no doubt originally laid in some design. but now displaced. The limestone blocks are the largest. being about a yard square and a foot in thickness. These massive blocks werelald on a brick foundation and ce- mented with- bitumen. Fortunately th ese ancient flags are worn by the feet of many men, and marked by the wheels of the ."charlots that have Jos- tled in the street.” . The Processional Street. .

But Mr. Hill says this ‘is reprehensible, and must stop. Will it stop? Well! After all, the boys do not do any great amount of dame. They enjoy their innocent little amusement of shooting holes in the sky and trying to impress the tend'erteet passengers. The boys have simply carried into man- hood that very human Juvenile desire to show 08, and. when they let out a tusillade of shots and a series of yells calculated to straighten out the kinks in s sleeping-car porter's hair. they are only trying to put some color and ro- mance into their my nnromantic and and practical lives.
