Archaeological Discovery.

A remarkable discovery has recently
been made in the village of Kaminia
in Lemnos by two young scholars
NM. Cousin and Durrbach from the
French school az Athens. This is a
rectangular stone bearing two inscrip-
tions, one surrounding the head of a
warrior, the other consisting ~ three
lines engraved on different face of
the monument. The inscriptions are
in the same alphabet, though there are
slight variations in the forms of some
of the characters. The alphabet is an
archaic Greek one. DR. PAUL. would
refer it to the latter half of the seventh
century b. c. But the curious point
about the inscriptions is that the Ian
guage embodied in them is not Greek,
but an otherwise unknown tongue,
NJ. Beal observes that it would be nat
ural TO connect it with dialect spoken
on the neighboring mainland of Thrace.
He notices, however, the curious gem
eral resemblance that it offers TO Etus-
Calm. T. Post
