At that congress a man, burned almost black, aros. and told. In a dry, matter of fact, scientific way, of a little Jaunt of almost 1.000 miles that h. had Just finished. His trip bad been through middle Morocco, which never before had been visited by a European, and which, the Inhabiting Berber, had sworn. never should be so visited. This man. whose ame is Count R. de Pordfcn de Segonxae. eclded differently. So he worked his way s near th. unknown land as he could, .nd then, obtaining disguises, he wandered on an Arab. Despite hie excellent knowl edge of the manners, speech and customs of the Mtrocran. and the Inhabitants of the Atlss mountslns, he feared that they might penetrate his disguise If they be came inquisitive as to hi. business. So be took kdvsntage of the fsct that Mohamme dani believe tb.t Ine.ne person, .re under the especial care of Allah and pretended to be Insane. This assured him of respect and good treatment everywhere, and. al though he bad many narrow eacapes, he managed to play his role to the end and make his way back to civilisation with his valuable head still on hi. shoulders. He saw the land of the DJabala. then crossed the Atlas mountain home of the Berbers, and. to end bis trip pleasantly, he wandered through the country of the famous and savage Riff pirates. There he "spoiled the Egyptians," for he gathen-d money in company with a begging pilgrim. In whose party he Journeyed from tribe to tribe. In Asia Minor the Imperial German Archeaologlcal Institute haa paid for ex cavations on the site ot the famoua old temple of Oordlum, and enough finds have been made to prove that tbe workers are digging out an ancient settlement that was great and flourishing 1.500 year, beforo Chrl.1. Other excavations tn the peninsula of Miletus, on tbe Aegean aea. have produced results so tempting that private German capital has been furnished, with which the greater part of the peninsula baa been purchased outright to assure successful prosecution of the work. Tbe territory thus acquired comprises the site of the great Necropolis and the Sacred Way, lead ing to the famous temple of Apollo of Dldyma, the greatest holy place of Asia Minor In It. day. Thl. purchaae, it la said now, will make a far more wonderful place to visit than even Pompeii, for when the excavations are completed a perfect dream city will have been unearthed. The entire hill I front of the city, crowned by the famous theater, belong, to the exc.vatora, also the ancient harbor basin, with It. en trance marked with two colopsal marble Hon., and with a port city with ball. In It more than 800 feet long. Included In the purchase, also, are the recently unearthed forum, the market place with a Roman fountain of rare beauty, the baths and a mass of ruins that have not yet been examined or cleaned out. In tbe wonderful Meaopotamlan valley, the scene of the most Intensely Interesting his tory of all mankind, there haa been digging In many place.. Places that were beld against all study and even entry by the powerful, unbeaten Bedouin tribes, who sue-' cessfully deflod exploration party after party In th. last twenty years, have yielded at last to tbe railroad engineer. The val leys of the Euphrates and tbe Ttgrta are being crossed and recrossed by Amerlc.ns and German, with surveyor.' rods and theodolites. Their ateel measuring tapes gleam on the tawny .and. where once the queen of Sheba trod. They are laying out the route of the Bagdad railroad, where one. the Assyrian, "came down like tbe wolf on the fold." Engineering troop, have been climbing around and delving tn the rulna of t'rfa on a branch of the Euphrates old Ur, the city of Nlmrod, the hunter, eon ot Ham, firat ruler of Shtnar. Tbe engineer, have been planning a railroad atatlon on the very site, perhaps, of the place where he used to entertain the great hunter, of-the Babylonian- kingdom that he la aaid Id old east ern tale, to have founded. Prosaic mathe maticians hsve been drawing up long eta tistlc. on the .ton. tables that remain In tact on the rock, tn front ot Urfa and that still ar. pointed out a. the table, at which Nlmrod hlmaelf used to sit to drink his wine and tell, no doubt, of hla narrow es capes and the big game that be bad killed. When tbe steel rails are laid they may lead over thoae very atone benches and tablea. They will pass by the holy Laks of Abraham, with Its .acred fish. By Its banks, according to the local Mohammedan tradition of today, Abraham, tbe Patriarch, designed to sacrifice hla aon Jacob. The engineers have found that the ancient tales of ths Euphrates aa a mighty and terrible river were based on good grounds. They acknowledge In their report that their modern science t. going to meet with al most .. great a problem there aa did tbe aclence of the Babylonians', for "In the tin, ot the annual thaw, far up In the mountain, of Kurdistan and Armenia the river rise. a. much as eighteen feet and tears away everything that t. In lt. path. So tbe olden trouble, of th. vanished brldgj builder, may be experienced again by the present onea. These railroad engineers also have enab'ed the world to learn something at laat about the mysterious and notorious devil wor shiper, of Asiatic Turkey, who dwell In the hill, of Mo.ul on the Tigris, ne.r the ruin, of Nineveh. The Turk, call them Extinguisher of Lights. They are Kurds, and recognise two force, only In the world the good and the ba. Arguing that the good can not do any on. harm, they wor hip the b.d, tn order to "keep .olid" with It. They dare not even mention the devil by name. If they refer to him at all ' they call him ."The Mighty King" or "The King Peacock." Tbe German explorer, a re making new finds continually In the Black Hills beyond Babylon.
