The First Wall OF the City Sup
posed to Have Been Discovered

The First Wall of the City Sup
posed to Have Been Discovered.
DR.. Bliss, who is conducting excava-
tons for the Palestine exploration fund
In Jerusalem, sends home a report Of
recent work in which he states that he
has found, at a depth Of a few feet,
the foundations of a wall which may
be those of the actual first wall of the
city, and are certainly on the site of
that wall. In the course of the work
he had uncovered three large square
towers. He had also found n gateway,
the doorsill Of which was still in stu
with the holes of the door posts and
the holes for the bolts. This sill was
o u feet above the ancient paved road
which passed through the wall at this
point, but on digging deeper he found,
four feet below, and therefore on a
level with the ancient road, the sill of
an older gate. Herr Schick reports
that he has found a postern In the
north wall on the exact spot where the
Leper's gate is placed by writers In
the twelfth century.

esting article in the Scottish Review.

when Maj. Gender attempted to get
leave for this exploration, it is thought
very probable that we should find the
foundations Of the temple courts and
steps beneath. The WEI of Souls

nev been seen by any one now living,
and which is described by no ancient
writer. Within the city excavation is

MAN OR MONKEY,
Bones OF an unknown Creature
Found In Java

Some excitement. it is said, has beer
aroused in the scientific world by ar
alleged discovery Of the missing Link

Dubois of the Brussels Museum has re
ccived the top Of n skull and a "fe
mur Of an anthrOpoid character from

ing them, has come to the conclusion
that they are the Uranium and thigh

lutely that NJ. Dubois correspondent

monkey or monkey-man, but they car

likely locality in which to find rev
species of monkey" Neither the De

seem to doubt for a moment. that the
discovery, If genuine, should be wei
come. This appears to be assumed
without question in all discussions or
the subject as IN assumption of the
most diSputable kind. One can, uu
derstand its prevalence at an earlier
day. In the first enthusiasm Of man
kind over the triumphant establ shment
of DarwiniSm it was natural enough
it was, indeed, only consistent with
1ilial piety to prosecute an active
search for u lost ancestor. Every,
body In those days was very properly
eager to discover him. He was a uni

to thirty years ago of the keen interest

link" In scientific circles, no doubt,
the same curiosity still prevails. but II
has now quite ceased to animate the
popular mind, and If NJ. Dubois and
his fellow naturalists think to revive
it, we must tell them plainly that they
are mistaken.
The unScientific public have long
since recovered their composure. They
have had time to get over the intellec-
tual intoxication produced by their
first draughts OF Darwinian doctrine,
and imaginatively speaking. to take
a good look" at the object of their
search. Having by this means formed
a clear and definite conception Of what
the missing link" would be like when
found, they have then proceeded to
compare tiiis conception with many
realities which have been multiplying
