Doubtless III Il wealthy commercial
city overwhelmed with sudden de
struction, IA was the ease with the
ancient Criconium, much treasure
was actually buried or thrown into
wells on drains. But then the treas
ure seekers of the Middle Ages have
generally exploited such sites pretty
thoroughly, and modern excavations
made in the interest of archaeological
researches have brought little TO
light in the way OF treasure. Great
boards of copper coins OF the empire
have often been brought to light. but
not much in the way of the precious
metals.
We might expect that more treas

A North Carolina genius proposes
a novel scheme for providing an en-
dowment for college III his vicinity.
He suggests that the trustees insure
the lives of fifty men, between the
ages of forty and fifty, for $4,000
each. and as the insured die off and
the amounts of the policies are turned
in convert the money into a fund for
the college. This would mean an en-
dowment OF 500, 900 at some time or
other.-New York Sun.
