Archaeological Finds in Greece.

There is something SO impractical in
the Greek laws on the subject of exca-
walton and expectation of antique OBJ
jects, that it is to be hoped that the
shreWd common sense of the people
will ere long see their impolicy. Ex-
cavation without permission of the gov
eminent. even on ones own land, is
punishable, and the government prac-
tically confiscates the find when the
finders are feeble, and leTies q tax of
half its value when they are not. Ev-
erything, therefore, is done in secret,
and expectation by contraband is the
only possible manner of profiting by
ones good fortune. The peasant who
finds an antique site carefully conceals
it; and the object he finds, instead of
helping the arch@ologists to classify
the antiquities by reference to their
proVenance. are sold to some one who
removes them from the country. and
SO all clue is lost of their true archao-
logical position.-W j. StsIt11Gn irs
