Jericho, Palestine.--The practice of child-sacrifice on the site of Jericho in the Bronze age was revealed by inspection of the latest excavations made here under direction of the British archeologist, Prof. Walter Qarstang. Tragic aspects of ancient life within the walled city before the Israelite conquest were revealed during excavation of the bones of children killed sacriflciallv in the years prior to Joshua's successful assault on the city. The correspondent was accompanied by Professor Garsbing on a visit to the excavations ar old Jericho where the Sir Charles .Marston expedition has been working some time. The defensive citadel, twelve feet thick of exceptional height, was believed to have Iteen built about 2,000 B. C. But the excavations' have changed many previous assumptions about old Jericho, which was cursed and burned by Joshua. The expedition has discovered that the earlier city had the largest wall and that the city began to decline and lose population, making necessary the building of smaller and more easily protected walls in later centuries. The theory that an earthquake caused the collapse of the wall of Jericho, will be worked out by the expedition next, as this season's work will end shortly. The biblical version is that Joshua was instructed to have his priests march around the wall seven days, blowing trumpets and then, on the seventh day, all the people shouted with a great shout and the wall fell flat and they marched in. The inhabitants of the besieged city were then slain and the city itself burned. In the burned city, as it is exposed today, the remains of charred corn in a bin were seen which were there when the Israelites Matched over the fallen wtfll. Four Stowaways Brave Sharks to Flee Ship New York.--A story of four stowaways, believed to have deserted from the navy, who braved a forty-fiveminute swim in the shark-infested waters off Jamaica, was brought into port by Capt. William Kroil, master of the Statendam of the Holland- American line. The young men escaped the sharks, but landed In the custody of the United States navy, which is trying to identify them. The Statendam, on a West Indies cruise, was steaming away from Colon, Canal Zone, on February 12, when the stowaways were discovered. They explained they had been part of the crew of a fruiter which had sailed without them. "I could tell by their blue navy pants," said the master, "they had defteTteo lrf>TT1- -QiiS American war- Ships at the cft&aL I locked fcftfeffl up. Off Port Yofttl 1 sent for the stow* aways. When the door was unlocked) the hospital was empty. They had escaped through the port bole. "Later they were picked up and handed over to the United States cruiser Concord at Kingston." Captain Kroll said the men went through the port hole and into the sea when the vessel was several miles oft the coast Earth Thawed for Gold In New Alaskan Strike Washington.--News of Alaska's latest gold strike in the vicinity of Poorman has reached the War department from Sergeant William N. Growden of the signal corps nnit at Ruby, Alaska, who took five days' furlough to stake a claim. Poorman is in the west central part of the territory, not far from Placerville, where gold recently attracted miners. Mike Kovas, Tom Gallagher and James August discovered the Poorman placer vein, Growden reported. When the sergeant and his companion, Chief Harry Pitka of the Kokrine In* dians, reached the discovery, Kovas Invited them to pan for dust. Growden and the Indian broke off pieces of frozen earth, held the pan containing the earth In boiling water to thaw it and proceeded to obtain $2.06 worth of gold from two pans.
