RUINS OF. OLD TIMES.
INTERESTING
ANCIENT ROME.
fsesat Excavations in the Eorum-The.
Original Mosaic Pavemsnt-The House
of the vesta,s-wan of Domus Pub
iica. 3

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 a be
seen the front of the Basilica must
have extended for at least 120 feet,
while its depth, as far as hitherto ex-
cavated, is about 80 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 unscientifc
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. Lanctant
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. A sim
liar pavement has also been discovered
in a chamber of the house of the Ves-
tails and another in, the corner of the
Domus Publica. Signor Boni has also
discovered a 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 a place
which up to a few months ago was de-
clared by incompetent specialists to
have been fully excavated.-London

Graveyard Studies.

In his opening address on "Geolog-
ical Time" to the geology section Of the
British association, Sir Archibald
Geikie urged upon town biologists and
those in the country who have no op-
portunities of venturing far afield, that
they may do good service by carefully
scrutinizing ancient buildings and
monuments. In the churchyards they
will find much to occupy and interest
them, not, however, like Old Mortality,
in repairing the tombstones. but in
tracing the ravages of the weather
upon them and in obtaining definite
measures Of the rate Of their decay.
Sir Archibald himself. twenty years
ago, studied in the graveyards and Gem
eteries of Edinburgh the rate at which
marble gives way in such a moist eli
mate as that of Scotland.

VICTIMS.

The Island of Ceram; Near Japan, Lost
5000 of Its Inhabitants.
The earthquakes of the early part Of
November, which shook the entire ia
panese coast, wrought fearful havoc
among the Molucca islands, in the
Malay Archipelago. Advices are at
hand dealing with the destruction
wrought on one of these islands-Ce-
ram. This island has an area of $500
square miles, and a population Of TO-
600. It is under the Jurisdiction of
Holland and is peopled chiefly by Ma
lays, many Of whom are engaged in
fishing. The people are chiefly Mo-
hammedans. though Christianity is
making progress under the fostering
care Of missionaries. The island was
!, fairly prosperous before the Novem-
Der earthquakes. but now everything
,is in ruins. Several villages have
been practically wiped out. At Hat
oesia, out Of . population Of 500 peo-
pie, 100 were killed and 400 injured.
All told, 5000 persons were killed in
the seismic disturbances that are de-
scribed as having been terrifying, and
Ave times that number were injured.
