THE THEATRE Or ESCULAPIUS.

The Greek Archaeological Suciety is
nowisc backward in prosecuting its in
quiries into the suhtcrranean treasures
Of the country. One of the most inter
esting discoveries il has yet made is that
Of theatre called the Theatre 0t E|cul-
apius, near EpidauruS, which Is said to
have been built hy PolycIctus, the rival
of Phidias. a detailed hS >criprlan of
the ruins has been transmitted to ParlS,
ana represents the cditice as capable Gi
containing at least 30, 900 people. and al
most euualing in size the theatre at Neg
alnpolis in Acadia. 1t is situated ahGu;
,.irht miles from the sGa-coast. between
Epilanrus and Nauplia, and the slope "i
\ hill OF which the summit is crowned
by a once sacred grove. The natural
amphitLeatre Of turf upheld structure
of similar form, modelled into Il success
ion of semi-circular benches, arranged IN
two divisions. The lower OF these con-
.aincl three blocks of seats, each CON
taining thirty-two rows, and reached by
means of twelve staircaSes. ih3 upper
and larger portion contained twenty rows
nf seats. and was entered by means OF
rwcnty-tive stairciNes. 4 great part OF
the building has, of course. now been
displaced, and lies buried at some depth
m the soil. In fact, the large open space
at the bottom Of the hill is found to he
crowded with all sorts of architectural
debris. precipitated from the hcights
,bove into the valley. Detached pieces
Of marble. broken columns. and capitals
attest the solidity and beauty of tho Work
in its original condition, and there ara
also a great number OF statues, th0uah
most of these are in very mutlated
state. The size of the building may be
estimated from TIE fact tn the top row
of seats measured apparently over 6oo
feet from side to side. Its general ap-
praranCc. however. cannot hc aSccrtalIeu
until the work of exploration has been

need III the course of 4 year. and Of the

would eat. His house. too. was very
close quarters for the many beds and

auired for the noise and fun which the
merry nine made. BIT father and
