pleted the work about 1,eoo Persians
f1ocked to the tomb to see what the
foreigners were doing. It was long
time since the tomb of Darius had had
so many visitors. Everybody brought
provisions and intended to stay until
they saw what fate befeu the explorers,
for they predicted that some terrible
accident would happen to them. They
told the Frenchmen that they were
fools TO attempt to study the tomb SO
curiously, and that they would pay
with their lives for the sacriege. Old
men recalled the fact that a Persian
once attempted to climb a column 1t
Persepolis and the next day he was
dead. the crowd seemed to be much
disappointed when their sinister pre-
dictions were not realized. The wood
en- structure, however, WAS very shaky,
dropped his watch. which was shat
tered on the rock below The incident
was accepted by the natives as q sign
something more sensational would hap
pen.
The seafold enabled the explorers to
reach the top Of the tomb, about eighty
feet from the ground. and they sue
ceeded in taking excellent photographs
of the inscriptions. Like NEST Persian
inscriptions found IN southern Persia.
they are in three languages Some OF
the larger letters are visible from the
ground, but the greater part of the in
scriptions cannot be seen from below.
The inscriptions tell the number of sat
rapies which were included In the EN-
pire of Darius. and sound his greatness
and the praises of his royal line
The illustration gives Hn excellent
idea of the present condition of the
tomb Of the last of the Persian kings

atively perfect, although some of the
lettering on the inscriptions Is almost

object of much interest.
Jupiter is now in so close proximity to the

Saturn will be in Opposition to the
sun, and consequently at his shortest dis
lance from the earth, on the 10th of the

therefore especially favorable for obserya-

interesting object. from the fact that the
