of ancient Babylon Dy the German .ex- 1
eavator under Uio direction of Ir. Kolde-w
wey. Beneath the great mound knowr. to
the modern Arab population t'. Kasr. or
the cast;." which rises above the plain
of the Euphrates, has been found tht
palace of Nebuehadneii.ir.
The Times, In describing the discoveries.
ra t:
Tiara of labor will still be reiulrcd to
trace the ground plan of all the palace
buildings adjacent to and protecting the
royal dwelling, built by Nebuehadneiiar
above the less splendid edifice of his father,
Nabopolasrsr. Hut the great Irregular en
cloji'e which has already been laid bare
ccrf-lns specimens of architecture which
ajtU'ly Illustrate the magnitude of the
king's work. One of the outer wall, for
example. 1 more than taenty-six yards
thick. Besides the palace buildings, with
the great oblong hall, with its alcove at
on end to contain a throne, w hich Is sup
posed to have been the scene of Belshaa
lar's feast, a conspicuous feature of the
excavations Is the ao-called "sacred way"
which lead along the east side of the
palace to the tempi if he goddes Ishtar.
crossed by the great gate which was
heightened by Nebuchadnezzar four or five
time over, as he repeatedly raised the
lr el of the road In his successive under-
tUr.
This great city of brick has pecuhar It-
tures of Interest and also of difficulty for
the explorer, as compared with monuments
of stone. The deeslcated soil of Mesopo
tamia has wrought little damage to the
buried structures, although the gradual ris
ing of the bed of the Euphrates by alluvial
deposits has submerged and perhaps se
riously injured the lower layers of debris,
some of which date from a period more
than a thousand years earlier than that of
the brief but splendid Second Babylonian
empire, which reached Us highest point
under Nebuchadnezzar. ,
Magnificent as are the relics already dis
covered of the Second Babylonian empire,
they represent but some of the later stages
In the long story of human civilization
upon this site. Though Nebuchadnezzar's
Babylon ll s burled many feet beneath the
ruins of subsequent dominions. U rests upon
a succession of earlier strata, which go
back not Improbably to a date yet more
remote from Nebuchadnezzar's than his Is
from our own. The difficulty of exploring
these earlier layer Is naturally much
greater In proportion to the depth at which
they lie. But in one of the most ancient
parts of the city. Vr. Koldewey and his
colleagues are now engaged in Investigat
ing the relics of the First Babylonian em
pire, which waa long antecedent both to
Nebuchadnezzar and to his Assyrian prede
cessors. Work la Ecynt.
The results of the work of the Egyptian
exploration fund during the last season
at Abvdos and El Mahasna are now in
view In London at King's college and
compile a most Interesting-and valuable
collection of pottery and ornaments from
the predynastlo to the eighteenth dynastic
periods. The main camp of the exploring
party was situated at Abydos, but while
engaged on excavations at this spot they
aecelved through native source informa
tion that a predynastlo cemetery was be
ing plundered at 1 Mahasna. a place
eight miles north of Abydos. After getting
the necessary permission from the Egyp
tian government they moved camp and
dug there for about a month, securing a
number of very fine objects.
In a large grave which contained two
skVkloiis as fou.id a unbiu t-u.W ..ti.v--j
vase with conventional decorations and
having on the rim four beiutlfully mod
eled hippopotami. The animals ate In a
wonderful state of preservation, despite
the fact that the vase was made nearly
T.OuO years ago. There were also several
pottery vases and a group of Ivories, the
most important being a carved figure of
a man.
In another cave was found a clay gam
ing tabic, divided into eighteen squares
and provided with twelve cone-shaped
mud "men." Apparently It was used for
a rudimentary form of draughts, thus tak
ing the game back to somewhere about
5000, B. C. Another valuable find was an
ebony cylinder seal of the first dynasty,
which was probably used by King Y.lt for
sealing his wine vessels. An example of
this Jar sealing is shown. The method
eniploed was to mould a lump of hu
clay over the mouth of the Jar and run
the cylinder around It, leaving the seal im
pressed. 1
A number of examples of black-topped
predynastlo pottery is shown, several of
them being marked with the lion. These
are regarded as being exceptlonaUy inter
esting, and It la suggested that the lion
was a tribal mark. The skull of a long
horned ox found at the bottom of a sixth
dynasty grave shaft is remarkable by rea
son of the fact that the teeth are worn
as if by a bit. The horse was unknown at
this period, and no other example has been
discovered at the use of the bit instead
of the general method of yoking.
In the eighteenth dynasty tomb was
found an oil cruse of terra cotta pottery,
which la still full of oil, although it has
lain burled for over 1,000 years.
Kii Bivmea t for Belle.
Other discoveries were some toilet re
quisites uae-d by the Egyptian belle of
5. mO B. C. They Include a long palette of
stone with a small hollow In the center
In which she ground her green ) paint,
a small dainty sea shell in which she mixed
the paint with the necessary grease to
stiffen her eyelashes, ivory hairpins
which rival in length the hatpin of the
present day, quaint ivory comb and a
Kouduu bowl which waa u4 for a kohl
pot.
The colectlun l--o Includes what seem

An Important addition has been made
to the collection of oriental manuscripts
In the British museum by tli purchase
of some manuscript which were dis
covered near Edfu by some Arabs. They
were buried in a stone qox In the moun
tain. One of the works was bound In a
rouah leather binding of decidedly ancient
date, and consisted of eighteen leaves
measuring six Inches fy four. The work
was examined by l'i IVdge, keeper of
Kantian anil A.sKVrian ant tnuitles. and
other orientalists of the Krlttsh museum,
