Scholars Seeking Civilizations Dawn in
 the Ruins of Babylonia
Remarkable Discoveries Recently Made by the
 Psychologists of Two Continents

by the scholars of two hundred and fifty years ago, who were as wise in the
 matter as the excavations and tradl- tions of their period permitted.
 The work has been done under the greatest of difficulties. The famous English explorer Sir Henry Layard re- tired discouraged from the great mound Of Nippur, where the American eApeui- ton has toiled for several years, Tn the campaign previous to the present for thirty-four months continuously, often in heat of 12O degrees In the shade, with sand storms and bltlng lllsectS as almost constant terrors, ana Witn treacherOus Arabs very willing to TOD and kill. as frequent companions. lne first American expedition leI6 ohe C lii- verSity of Pennsylvania in looo. since that time about S100,000 has been ex- pended, contributed by few citizens of Philadelphia. The work of the first expedition covered the period or loo6- S9. The staff consisted of Dr. John r. Peters. director; W. Herman V: Hll- precht, Assyriologist, and J. Ii. Haynes, eXcaVator.
 The laborers, 200 Arabs, were fur nished by the Turkish Government, which has always, through pr Hll- precht, been a party to the work. TUT key has had it's reward as the eXcaVa- tions have progressed in the increase or its store of objects of antiquity.
 The second expedition, entering the field later, in 1889, resumed the work with 400 Arabs, securing some SO0o tab- lets, several stamps in terra cotta, hun dreds of vases bearing inscriptions, and many bowls and other antiquities.
 It was from this expedition that came the sensational results. For three years the members of the expedition worked, pursuing their purpose beneath the burning sun for nearly three years without cessation, inspired by the ever opening, ever widening discoveries re- vealed to them as they delved down deep beneath the temple Of Bel. Ihere was made a thorough examination or the lower strata of the temple as de- scribed by Dr. Hilprecht in his monu- mental work, ''The Babylonian EXpedi- tion of the University of Pennsyl- vania." Three sections were excavated down to the water level of the old de- parted river Shatt-en-N Nil. A systematic study of Babylonian drainage was made and the two most ancient arches of Babylonia were unearthed by MT. Haynes. Structures built by Naram Sin and pre- -Sargonic buildings and vases were found. Four hundred tombs of various periods and forms were ex- cavated and their contents saved. Twenty-one thousand cuneiform tablets were found and taken away, tablets containing history as plainly written to the Assyriologist as are the text books of our colleges and universities to their students to-day.
 Many fragments were also found, among them contracts dated in the reign of Dungi, son of Ur-Gur, of many Cassite kings hitherto unknown, of Da- rius and of ArtaXerXes Mnemon. The

cuneiform scripts by which history can now be written backward three thou sand years beyond the days of Sargon.
 The cuneiform scripts of Sargon and his son and those of Nebuchadnezzar are after all not very dissimilar, while the texts found deep down below the temple of Bel (BaaD are to those of the Sargon period as is the writing of a child to that of man. The French ex- petition, which has been at work far
 ther south, confirms these general re- suits and places the age of. the world, in civilization, from seven thousand t. ten thousand years before Christ. Thus Sargon I, instead of representing the dawn of civilization, can stand for lit tie more than the middle chapter of the ages before Christ. The whole effect of the great work is confirmatory of the Bible. No conflict can result between the new B. C. 1000 and the Biblical B. C. 4004. This Biblical date was fixed

W U the scholars of Europe and
 4 x America. They are of such
 a character as to unsettle much that has been accepted by the world for centuries. At the present time Assyriologists are busily engaged in furthering the work, with the hope of supplementing the discoveries al- ready made France, England and the United States have men of scholarship and excavators of courage on the scene all engaged in an endeavor to get to the uttermost date.
 The work now in progress will be ac- lively pushed for many years to come, The illustrations accompanying this article, loaned by Dr. Hilpreeht of the University of Pennsylvania expedition, will give a good general idea of the re- suits of the excavations. The meanings of these fragments, worse than the pro- verbal Greek to the layman. are cas- fly mastered by the Assyriologists, and it is by means of these examples that the history of the world has been car ried back so many thousands of years.
 Two years ago Sargon I and Naram Sin were believed by the world to rep resent the earliest stage of civilization, the father and son reigning in Baby lonia in succession a few hundred years less than four thousand before the birth of Christ And even this was not wholly conceded, no less a scholar than Niebuhr contending that these two kings were unhistorical and their reigns only legendary. But the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania expedition some time since esta ablished the existence of these two kings beyond all doubt. Nu- merous monuments of these rulers have been brought to light in the mounds of Nippur, oldest of the worlds cities. Not only this, but there have been un- earthed from beneath the ruins of the

torso of an inscribed statue, hundreds of vase fragments, ruins of what was an old fountain in terra cotta bas re- lief, water cocks. drain tiles, fifty clay collins and burial urns-these were among the other finds. The savants of Europe and Amer ica agree that by the great results obtained the studies of ancient history, photography and philology have been badly upset and a universal revision Is held to be necessary
 The vast ruins of the Temple of Bel are situated near the empty bed of the Shatt-en-Nil, which divided Nippur into two parts. Out of the midst Of the ruins there arises a conical mound. whose top is about one hundred feet above the level of the surrounding
The San Francisco call., 1898-02-13

plain. The crest of the mound is about fifty feet above the surrounding debris. In this mound are the ruins of the great Temple of Bel. To the care of this temple the kings of Babylonia ap- piled themselves as to a religion. Shrines were added, its beauties were enhanced, and there is every evidence that the sanitary arrangements were good and that they were not allowed to fall into bad condition.
 At the time of Ur-Gur, B. c. 2S00 the ziggurat, or temple tower stood on the northwestern edge of an immense plat form which formed the pavement of the whole temple incloSure This platform was made entirely of sun dried bricks, not inscribed, identical with the mass of crude bricks forming the body of the temple tower. Below the platform of Ur-Gur was another pavement. consist ing of two courses of burned brick. These were fifty centimeters square and eight centimeterS thick. Most of them were stamped. Dr. Hilprecht believes that the inscriptions on these bricks and on some door sockets establish the identity of Shargani- -Sharali with Sar- gon l, and states that this second plat form was apparently laid by Sargon and relaid by his son, Naram- Sin.
 Another striking illustration of the activity of Naram-Sin was found in the ruins of the outer wall of the city. The IounddllOn or InlS wall was pIaceO on solid clay, two-thirds of a meter be- low the water line of the river, or five meters below the plane of the desert. This foundation was built of worked clay with cut straw, and was raised to a height of five and a half meters. The top of the foundation was thirteen and three-quarters meters wide, and upon this, it is justifiable to assume a great wall was raised to some unknown height The rIinS of this wall there nothing else would establish the leading position of Nippur in the world during that city,s existence.

BOSTON-Thc American Wool and
Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow OF
the wool market: Transactions in the
wool market were already too greatly
c%urtailed to be much further affected by
the outbreak OF war. The sales for the
last week foot up something over half a
million pounds. which is about up to the
average since the war scare entered its
acute stage several weeks ago. Condi-
lions have not improved since our last
report. There have been practically no
manufacturers IN the market The feel
Ing or the part Of holcers Of wool Is
phenomenally strc1E. Nothing out the
condition Of the money market seems
likely to unsettle prices in the near fu-
ture. The mills are buying only such
wool as they actually need to piece out
with. The sales OF the week amount to
297, 900 pounds.

HOUSES ADJOURN
UNTIL MONDAY
Sixty Bills and twenty-five ResOlu-
tions introduced in the Senate, and
Thirty-six Bills and Thirty-fve
Resolutions in the House

SALEM, Or, Sept. 30.--Both houses
of the legislature adjourned early this
afternoon until Monday afternoon, at 2
O'Clock, and most of the embers left
town on tonight's trains. Speaker Car
ter will spend Sunday with his constit-
uents in Ashland. A good many of the
members went to Portland for the recess.
The clerks of the two houses were left
at their desks to clear the way for Mon
days's work. Everything about the state
printers Office is running at high pres
sure to get the bills already introduced
in shape to lay on the desks of mem bers
Monday.
In the senate sixty bills have been in
troduced, and have gone to the printer.
Some twenty-five resolutions have also
been handled there. In the house the
number of bills introduced lie thirty-six,
and resolutions, including joint and con-
current, thirty-fve.
A number of the members have bills
they are Withholding, because they are
convinced that no general legislation
will be enacted at this session. In fact,
the great number of admittedly meritori-
GUS measures brought forward tor con-
sideration promise to consume more
time, if they get proper attention, than
will be available at this session. 1 is
probably that the greater number of bills
already introduced will not get to final
vote at this session.
The most Objectionable feature of the
introduction of such a multiplicity of
measures is that it is likely to delay ac-
tion on those of really pressing I'M
por1ance. Still, the committees in both
houses are so made up that the meritor-
ious are likely to be carefully separated
from the unmeritorious and pushed to
prompt action.
The fret week closes with distinct
promise of long steps in the direction of
economical legislation.
Representative Butt, of Yamhill, this
morning introduced by request bill for
an act to regulate the rights Of persons
to examine public records and make
memoranda and transcripts from them
and declaring an emergency. It pro-
vides that officers having the custody of
any state, county, city or town records,
OF any court in the state, shall permit
and furnish proper and reasonable ia
cilities for the inspection and examina-
ton of the records and files of their
respective offices, and for making men,
oranda and transcripts therefrom,
whether said files be complete or incom-
plete; during the usual business hours,
to all persons having occasion to ex-
anime them for any lawful purpose,
without cost or expense to the person
making such examination. Complaints
in suit of actions are to be withheld from
public inspection until summons shall
have been served.
