Professor Hiiprechts Recent Discoveries
at Nippur.

Professor Hilprechts Recent Discoveries
at Nippur.
Professor Hilprecht, of the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania, who has return
ed to Constantinople. has described
some of the principal results of this
years work of the university expedi
tion, which have attracted great in
terest, as they carry the history of
Babylonian civilization back to about
1000 years b. C. The most important
discovery was the library of the great
temple. This was unearthed at the
very place where Professor Hilprecht
said some eleven years ago it would
be found. In less than three months
1920 tablets bearing cuneiform char
acters were brought to light. They
mostly relate to business contracts,
conveyances, letters. etc, but the lat
est finds show that many of the tablets
are historical, pathological and liter
ary. treating of mythology, grammar,
photography, science and mathemat-
les. None of them bear a later date
than 22S0 B. c.. when. 1t is surmised,
the library was destroyed by the in
vasion of the Elamites. which occur
red at that date. 1t is thought that
the unexplored part will yield 10000
more tablets. This is probably the
greatest discovery of antique literature
ever made, and as we know that the
library was Of great Importance in
early Babylonia, being the principal
college for instruction in all branch
es. when all the tablets are deciphered
the world will, no doubt, be in posses
sion of most valuable information re-
garding life in all its relations as par
ticipated in by this most ancient peo-
Pile. The work on the library has
been temporarily stopped in order to
complete the work at the temple and
on the southern and eastern lines OF
the walls of the Notifications, where,
in the lower strata many weapons have
been found During these recent ex-
cavations also a palace belonging to
the pre-Sargonic period was discover
ed beneath an accumulation OF about
seventy feet of rubbish, which divid-
ed Nippur into two parts. This pal
ace, which has frontage of 600 feet
Professor Hilprecht thinks will prob
ably be found to be the palace of the
early priest kings of Nippur. Valuable
results in the shape of tablets, cylin'
ders and figurines have been obtained
from the few rooms excavated, and II

A Novel;. Strange History.

One of the most popular novels OF
the day had a strange history. A New
York author, whose books are always
sure of certain degree of popularity.
finished all but the last few chapters
OF a novel. Try as he might. 1t was
impossible for him to complete the
story satisfactorily. So he put the
book away, and for two years 1t lay
unfinished in his desk, although the
author thought of the work from time
to time. Finally he lost all hope OF
ever completing the work. and decided
to end 1t at point several chapters in
advance of that at which he had
ceased to write. With this abrupt anu
unexpected ending the novel went to
a publisher. was accepted, and turned
out one OF the most popular novels this
author has ever written. Ono OF the
most praised features OF the book Is
its unconventional ending, which Is
said to be just explicit enough to sat
isfy everybody without going into In
artistic detall.-New York Sun.
