A cavern remarkable in an archaeology.
cal poim of view has jus, been discovered
at about eight leagues from Guelma, in
Algeria. on the side of the Malta noun
,ains. II is followed out of an immense
cacareons rock, and has a circular en-
trance Of seven or eight yards in diameter,
is about 400 yards in depth, and runs from
1000 to 1900 yards in length. taking an
inclined direction, and requires 35 minutes
to reach its extremity. A thousand sta
lactites Of various forms adorn the inside.
and the ground is encountered with a
prodigious quantity of enormous blocks
fallen from the vault. But what gives il
ITS greatest interest is the number Of latin
Inscriptions al the entrance. 'Fhev are
for the mos, part illegible, bu, the name OF
Donalus is to be deciphered in more places
than one. Il belongs 10 the earliest times
of Christianity, as the names OF unknown
martyrs appear, and there is no doubt the
cavern was the refuge of the then perse.
cnted Christians. The Arabs have many
fabulous legends on the subject, and dread
