from the London Chronicle. About

RUINS OF OLD TIMES.
INTERESTING DISCOVERIES IN

OF the vsst.is-wAn of Demus Pub

In the last month the excavations
being carried on In the Forum under
the direction OF Signor Giacomo Boni
nave 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 pUrtico of the facade
have been brought to light. and the
mosaic pavement o. -ae 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
mediaeval sewer. but part is In splen-
did preservation. As far az yet can be
seen the front OF the Basilica must

while Its depth. as far as hitherto ex-
oayated. is about so feet Probably the
original floor OF the edliice ran back
two or three times this distance. but
Tor the moment houses and embank-
ments bar the way to further excava-
lions. 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 tho
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 o: this edifce 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 Lanclani
supposed to be the floor OF the house.
A staircase built against one OF the
walls runs down to H. Part of the
staircase was discovered by the former
exeavatora. who by simply following
the steps downward might easily have
come to the mosaic pavement A sim
liar pavement has also been discovered
In n chamber OF the house OF the Ves-
tails and another In the corner of the
Domus PublIca. Signor Boni has also
discovered portion OF the massive and
splendidly built wall OF the Domus
Publlca. In the Regia the remains of
another altar and part OF the mosaic
pavement have also been discovered
