A very pleasant and notable gather
ing took place recently at the house of
Herr Baurath Won schlck, In Jerusa-
lem, which included not only the Ger
man community, but also many other
friends, who met 20 offer their congrat-
ulatlons to the veteran orchaeologlst on
the completion Of the fittieth year OF MS
residence and work In Jerusalem, says
the London Queen. Addresses of con-
era tulation also reached him from var
ious countries and societies. includlhE
the English Palestine exploration FUND;
and from the University OF TuolnBen
in his native country, came tine doctor

university and DR.. Schick. II IS reaily

the English exploration fund, wmcn
