The Site of Carthage.

Our knowledge of Carthage is gained
from the Roman historians, who were so
bitterly prejudiced as to make their ac-
counts of Carthage and the Carthaginians
extremely unreliable. There is little
doubt, however, that at the time of it's
downfall Carthage exceeded in size the
Rome of that day. The African metropo-
lis was built on a peninsula; the triple
walls surrounding the city were of stu
pendOus hight and forty-five miles in cir
cumterence. At distances of 500 feet apart
were large towers, recent excavations
showing that the foundations were sunk
thirty feet deep, while their walls were in
places twenty-five feet thick. Each was
four stories high and sufficiently commo-
dious to provide in it's lower, or founda-
ton story, stall-room for 800 elephants
The city contained 100000 population and
mustered over 100000 fighting men. The
most remarkable feature of its history is
the utter disappearance of its ruins and
those of the cities successively founded
on its site. After its destruction in b. G.
146 the Romans founded a city on the
peninsula and named il Junonia. 1t did
not prosper, but Augustus restored it,
and during the first three centuries OF
our era it was a prosperous mercantile
town. 1t became the capital of the Van
dals, but was destroyed by the Arabs A.
ID. 6S7, and now only the sewers, the els
terms and an isolated stone here and there
marks the site of the famous Carthage
Globe Democrat.

cold water to drink, and you squirm and
fiounder oout in the mud for ten, fifteen
or twenty minutes. Then you are pulled

most times with a derrick The mud

precious metals A distinguished Ger
man chemist some years ago determined,
wstar rt.a, Gnperlems .a' o1d ION hoid oi sea
solution by the iodide of calcium. The
quantity of silver is much larger. Sheets
of copper taken from the hulls of ships
which have sailed through the tropical
seas are often so rich in silver as to be
worth smelling. One of those statisti-
clans who are fond of dealing with i'm
mensity calculates that the sea holds in
solution over 100000 tons of silver, or
about $77, AS, ,000, 900, sum about ten
times as great as the entire computed sill
yer product of the world from the earliest
times to the present day. No available
process has been invented to extract the
precious metal from the water, however;
so, for all practical purposes, it is lost to
the worlds use.-Globe-D Democrat.
