EXCAVATIONS IN JERUSALEM

Mr.. James Glaisher, chairman Of the
committee Of the Palestine EXplora-
ton fund writes a letter to the Lon
don Times concerning the excavations
in Jerusalem. He says that the spot
chosen for the commencement of these
researches lies to the south of the city,
outside the walls, close to the English
cemetery. 1t was hoped that here
traces of the ancient wall might be
met with, and there are already indi-
cations that this hope will not be dis
appointed. Mr.. Bliss reports that, hay
ing sunk shaft at a point, little
southeast of the cemetery, and driven
q tunnel from it in a northeasterly di-
rectiOn, he came, at a distance of As
feet, upon finely-wOrked rock-scrap."
This was traced following it's various
angles and working beth to the right
and left. for about 40 feet, and is
thought by Mr.. Bliss to mark ''the YER
liable exterior line of Notifications of
ancient Jerusalem" 1t is of course too
early to be sure whether this suppose
ton is correct. To the north Of the
city, not far from the church of st.
Stephens, the owner of some ground
has, in digging the foundations of a
house, discovered a very beautiful mo-
sale pavement. Mr.. Bliss describes it
as splendid piece of work, measur-
ing about u feet by Is feet With
in a beautiful border is a vine
with branches on which hang clusters
of grapes, and among the branches
are numerous birds-peacocks, ducks,
storks, an eagle, partridge, parrot
in a cage, etc. 1t is almost perfectly
preserved. and near the eastern end
is an Armenian inscription to the effect
that the place was in memory of all
those Armenians whose names the
Lord knows" Underneath is a cavern,
in which were found bones, lamps and
glass vases. Photographs of the mo-
sale are in the Office Of the fund.
