In the last month the excavations
being carried on in the Forum under
the direction Of Signor Giacomo Boni
have continued to give splendid results.
Hundreds of tons of earth have been
removed from the side of the Basilica
Emilia, which is now almost entirely
uncovered In addition to the huge
fragments of the inscription discovered
last June, the bases of nine columns
supporting the portico of the facade
have been brought to light, and the
mosaic pavement Of the interior has
been cleared of the stones and rubbish
with which it has been covered for the
last 1000 years. Part Of the pavement
had been destroyed in making a
medieval sewer, but part is in splen-
did preservation. AS far as yet can be
seen the front of the Basilica must
while its depth, as far as hitherto ex-
cavated, Is about so feet. Probably the
original floor of the edifice ran back
two or three times this distance, but
for the moment houses and embank-
ments bar the way to further excava-
tions. The excavations along the Sa-
era Via are still giving good results,
though they will have to be suspended
for awhile in order not to destroy the
cart road needed for carrying away the
earth and rough stones removed from
the other sites. Perhaps the most in
teresting discovery of all recently made
by Signor Boni is that of the original
mosaic pavement in the house of the
Vestals. The ruins of this edifice were
supposed to have been fully eXcavated
some years ago by Prof Lanciani, but
the discovery just made proves that the
work was then done in an unscientific
fashion, which left the most interest
ing part of the building still buried.
The pavement lies some three feet be-
low the level of what Prof. Lanciani
supposed to be the floor of the house.
A staircase built against one of the
walls runs down to it. Part OF the
staircase was discovered by the former
excavators, who by simply following
the steps downward might easily have
come to the mosaic pavement SIM
liar pavement has also been discovered
in a chamber of the house of the Yes
tails am another in the corner of the
Domus Publica Signor Boni has also
discovered portion of the massive and
splendidly built wall Of the Domus
Publica. In the Regia the remains of
another altar and part of the mosaic
pavement have also been discovered
not a bad record for a months work
under an almost tropical sun in place
which up to a few months ago was de-
clared by incompetent specialists to
have been fully xcavated.-London

Representative Sibley of Pennsyl-
vania will be responsible for starting
the automobile habit among the states
men at Washington. Among those
who can afford the expense the auto
mobile is apt to take the place of both
bicycle and carriage, since some one
has set the example. Sibley has rep
utation as lover of horses. On Sib-
ley's arrival at Washington this winter
he appeared, not behind a pair of fast
trotters, but in low-built vehicle,
and not the sign of horse to give
it character. They have become rec
onciled to him now, and he will prob
ably soon have many imitators among
congressman, who are already begin
ming to envy the ease with which he
shoots about from one department to
another, to and from the capitol and

The Sultan's Daily Life.

The sultan of Turkey rises at
o'clock every morning and devotes hi.
days, in the seclusion of the Yildis
palace and gardens, to personal atten.
ton to affairs of state. He is of slight
figure. A pale brown overcoat conceals
any decorations he might be wearing
so that the attention of those who see
him on the one day in seven when he
presents himself to the view of the
people is not diverted from his pale
wan and careworn face, half-covered
by a thin brown beard, tinged with
gray. and surmounted by a plain red
fez. The sultan has been the means
OF establishing $4,000 schools through
out his empire, not only for boys, but
for girls also-a striking departure
from the traditional usage of his race.

GETTING LOTS OF DOLLARS.

Sir Henry Irving, who is now tour
ing the principal cities of the north
and east, is said to be achieving the
greatest success of his life in the pres
entation of Victorien Sardou's Robes
pierre" Wherever the actor-knight
has appeared in this new role he has
been greeted with wild enthusiasm.
In view of the dramatic interest which
attaches to the character and person
ality of Robespierre (who as the cen

fers peculiar attractions to the stage(,
it is not surprising that Sir Henry Irv-
ing should have made the dramatic

COMMANDER WOOD.

however, steamed boldly into the bar
Dor entrance, sunk the remaining Span
ish ships, and then paid her respects
10 the Spanish forts in such fashion
as to silence them The exploit was
remarkable exhibition of cool daring
and skill, and Woods brother officers
made no secret of their belief that his
feat was the most daring and success
full of any connected with the memoir
able naval battle.
The board of naval rewards recon-
mended that for his eminent and con-
spicuous conduct in battle Comman-
der Wood should be advanced ten
numbers in his grade, and although
this was a higher measure of reward
than was bestowed upon any other
captain, Congress did not withhold
it. Commander Wood was detached
from the Asiatic station Dec. 81, 1898,
and, coming home, was, after short
leave of absence, placed in charge of
the Baltimore lighthouse district.
Though his official headquarters were
in Baltimore Commander Wood resided
in Washington, d. c., whittier he came
every afternoon on completing his
days work. Profound sorrow is felt
not only in naval circles but in every
part of the United States on account
of the untimely taking off of this brave
officer, whose heroism is associated
with one Of the brightest achievements
in American annals.

THE PROFESSION OF spy.
Necessary to Warfare and. Although

Necessary to Warfare and. Although
Hazardous. 1t Is Lucrative.
from the London Mail: The word
"spy" has an ugly sound owing
to its many unpleasant associations,
yet in war times spies afford an army
remunerated. One of the maxims OF
commanding officers, in book for
their guidance written by Lord Wolse-
ley, is that successful spy must be
petted and made much Of. The man
agement of spies is very difficult. Out
of every ten employed by an officer
commanding a war district he is for
tunate II one gives him truthful in
formation. 1t is most important
thing that spies should not be known
to each other. Great care is generally
taken by officers that each spy shall
imagine that he is the only that is en-
pioyed. 1t is very necessary that all
bona-flde spies should have about their
persons some means of proving them
selves really to be what they represent
themselves. For this purpose coin
of a certain date, a Bible of certain
edition, testament with the seventh
of fifteenth leaf torn out are generally
employed BY their means spy who
was employed in neutral state, max
ing his way to the headquarters of the
army in the field, could thus make
himself known to the intelligence de-
partment there. In some instances it
is considered that sign or password
should be employed, as it is less COM
promising. The putting up of the
right hand to the ear and then to the
left ear, or some such gesture, Is gen.
orally employed. The more extensive
the ramifcations of the system the bet
ter are the chances for escaping detec-
ton. 1t is very necessary that officers
of the intelligence department should
be provided with specially prepared
paper, upon which letters can be writ
ten in ink that does not become visible
until it has been subjected to some
chemical process. 1t is also necessary
that letter in ordinary ink should in
variably be written on the same paper
containing the information that it is
required to keep secret. Although
spy runs the great risk of immediate
death if he is detected, yet the service
is not without glory at times, and it is
certainly extremely lucrative.
