The Exploration of pesti,enee.

AT the last meeting Of the Long Island

objects and operations of the Palestine
Exploration Fund. with special reference
to the recent explorations in Jerusalem -

gentlemen to whom the exploration owed
Its efficiency. Much Of the evidence which
was to settle many disputes was to be
brought from beneath the sol. 4 pre-
linllnary exploration had been made Of
Jerusalem by CAPTAIN Wilson. to whom
they were indebted for an excellent map.
The present exploration was under the
direction eff I.iept Warren. He begins
with the determination Of taking nothiDe
for granted. The enclosure on Mount
.horlah, where undoubtedly the temple
stood. consisted of about thirty five acres.
and is known as the Haram area. Mr.
Ferguson maintained that this was Chris.
tan structure, The spot on which the
Mosque of Omar stood was recarded as
sacred by Jew and Mussnlman alike. The
object of Lieut.. Warren now was to find
the exact spot on which stood the temple
site, then fix upon the place where stood
the altar. This he expected to be enabled
in doing by examining certain under
ground evidences in the form of chan
nels, supposed to have been used for car
rying off the blood of the sacrifices made
by the priests. Already he had found
stones so nicely laid. ninety feet below the
surface that he could not get his knife be-
tween them.
The speaker described the progressive
steps of the exploration Of the Tyropean
Valley the Arch of Robson, and the
Arch of Wilson. The discovery of these
arches appeared 10 establish the theor,
that series of arches were stretched
across the fyporean Valley for the pur-
pose of connecting the Temple on Mount
Meriah with the Palace of the Kings of
Judah on Mount Sion. He had already
discovered the location of the walls of the
city of Jerusalem-s fact that undoubted-
ly led him to determine the site of the
Holy Sepulchre. Lieutenant Warren
thought he had discovered, in the course
of his excavations, the masonry which
Hezekiah had caused to be built to lead
off the water courses from the aid Of the
enemy. SO as to protect the city. Dr.
Buddington said he was convinced that
the Christian world of this or of the next
generation were likely to have grand So

Squire Jovial once had an important
case in county court, and the decision
depended entirely on the way the jury
would regard the testimony of one lady
He lost the case, because the fair witness
swore positively to an occurrence which
she witnessed at the distance of several
rods, although there were several persons
who stood much nearer than she, that sa n
nothing whatever of it. The old squire
looked rather blue when the jury brought
in their verdict, but revenged himself by
rising and telling the court story of "a
lady he once knew" WHO was verv-near-
sighted, but always declared her eye-sieht
to be excellent Accordingly, one day, a
neigh5or stuck darning- in the

Live Cattle Weighed by Measure

The only instrument necessary ia a
measure with feet and inch marks upon il.
The girth is the circumference of the ami
NAL just behind the shoulder blades. The
length is the distance from the shoulder
blades. The superficial feet are obtained
by multiplying the girth and len 9Th. The
following table contains the rule to ascer-
tain the weight of the animal:
Ii less than one foot IN the girtb, null
tiply superficial feet by eight.
If less than three, and more than one,
multiply superficial feet by eleven.
If less than FIVE, and more than three,
multiply superficial feet by sixteen
If less than seven, and more than FIVE,
multiply superficial feet by twenty Eve.
II less than zine, and more than seven
multiply superficial feet by thirty-three.
Example: Suppose the girth of bull
lock to be six feet three inches, length FIVE
feet six iches; the superficial area will then
be thirty -four, and in accordance with pre-
ceding table. the weight will be seven
hundred and eight-two pounds.
Example: suppose pig to measure In
girth two feet, and length one foot and
nine inches There would then be three
and half feet, which. half pounds the a.
weight of the animal when dressed. In
this way the weight of four quarters can be
substantially aseertained during life.
