King Priam's Palace.

The house of Priam might, in the
opinion of DIR. Schliemann, have had
more than one hundred rooms, and he
thinks it was originally five or seven
stories high. One of the rooms now
contains jar SO large that it is nearly
filled by it. Four of such jars have been
found by him, each measuring five and
half feet high, and four feet seven
inches broad. The large number of jars
found on the ground floor induces the
belief that it was used for store rooms.
The four huge jars contain number of
of terra Gotta vases, of which also many
fine specimens were found in the brick
colored ashes with which the rooms are
filed. DR.. Schliemann thinks the most
remarkable thing in the ancient man
sion is that here and there beneath it
the walls of still more ancient build
ing are found. He ascribes them to the
first city erected on the. site of the fa-
nous city All the fragments of pot
terry which he has seen in the rooms of
the mansion Immediately beneath the
Trojan stratum have, he says, on both
sides beautiful lustrous red, black or
brown color, which he has never found
anywhere except in the strata of the first
city. He is further of opinion that the
great circuit wall was not built by the
people which inhabited Troy at the time
of the catastrophe, but by their prede-
cessors. Among the remarkable OBJ
jects discovered recently, DIR. Schlie-
mann, in his letter to the Times Uon-
don), mentions the remains of an en-
bryo child, which a physician thinks to
be only four months old. All the bones
seemed to be present, $50 that the skel-
eton might easily be reconstructed. y
