Disinterring the Rest of POmpeii.

Excavation goes on constantly but slowly
on account of the poverty of the government,
and one may watch the process and see
brought to light statue, pavement, fresco
or a sleeping apartment. What will be done
with the vast amount of antiquities to be I'M
covered in the remaining two-thirds of the
city, no one can tell The museum of Naples
is full and the quantity of antique material
found at Rome and all over Italy is crowding
the public galleries everywhere Why does
not some American millionaire offer to assist
in disinterring the rest of Pompeii for por-
ton of the antiquities, which with commend
able public spirit he could give to some mu-
scum in New York or San Francisco.
Most of the pictures, statues, frescoes pave
ments, bronzes, jewelry, etc, have been taken
from the houses of Pompeii and placed in the
great museum at Naples, which is one of the
most wonderful in the world. 1t is so rich in
objects of various kinds in Greek vases and in
Pompeiian antiquities, that it would really re-
pay months of study. Persons coming to
Rome should also visit Naples, which Is only
five hours distant, and the visit can be made
even in summer with much less discomfort
than is usually supposed. 1t would not be
perhaps worth while merely to know its peo-
pie, if time presses, but the three great feat
ures of the place-Vesuvius, Pompeii and the
museum-are worthy to be classed among the
wonders of the world.-Foreign Cor San
