HARBOR NOTES.

Yesterday afternoon the steam yacht

composed of twelve men. The Aria left
Bangor about a week ago and went to
Boston for a few days. On her way to
Portland she called at Gloucester and
Portsmouth, leaving the latter port at
noon. This morning she will start on
her return to Bangor.
The only fish arrivals for the day were
about three thousand pounds of mackerel.

DIR. EDGAR ]. BANKS.
He WIN Tell a Portland Audience
About the Ruins of the Chaldees.

/
In the eastern part of the Arabian
desert, fully thousand miles east OF
Jerusalem, is a country filed with the
ruins of cities, palaces and temples, which
were built several thousand years ago.
The one city of modern times which is
standing among the ruins is Bagdad, a
city so inaccessible and remote from the
usual line of travel that it has been visit
ed by hardly half a dozen Americans.
Standing upon the roof of tall Bagdad
house, stretching away in every direction
one may see mound after mound, each
covering building which was the pride
of some ancient nation Here the Baby
lonians and Assyrians lived. In the far
north Nineveh and it's magnificent
palaces are presented by mountain-like
mounds; to the southwest Babylon with
it's palaces, parks and temples, is buried
to the south are the remains of other
cities, buried and forgotten before Rome
and Greece existed. One of these an
Gent cities is Ur of the Chaldees, the
home of the biblical Abraham, one of the
earliest cities of which we have record,
ssOOS
b. @.
During the past few years American
and European scholars have been digging
into the mounds of ruins, ana they have
uncovered most magnificent p alaces. and
temples. The walls of the rooms ar Q
usually covered with carved stone, accom-
panied with Inscriptions recording the
history of the lives of the people who once
lived there In one palace at Nineveh
there was discovered great slibrary of
100,0 600 clay books, at Babylon 80, 900 such
books were discovered. A few years ago
scholars learned to read this peculiar
wedge-shaped writing and to their sur
prise they found written on these clay
books the same stories which are recorded
in the first part Of the Bible. The books
of Kings tell how the Assyrians captured
Samara and besieged Jerusalem, but on
these books one may read the Assyrian
accounts of these events. Tha Bible tells
many stories of Nebuchadnezzar, King of
Babylon, butInow azparty of Germans are
digging up the great palace in which
ACKNOWLEDGMENT lived.
Some American scholars, among them
are President Harper, Bishop Potter and
DIR. Ward have formed an expedition
which is soon to go out to dig into the
city in which Abraham and Sarah were
born and married, or of the Chaldies,
where the Hebrew nation originated. The
director of this American expedition, DR..
Edgar James Banks, the recent United
States consul at Bagdad, who has
travelled among the ruins and studied the
inscriptions for number of years, is at
present stopping in Portland, and Sun
day afternoon, at the mems meeting of
the Y. M. G. A. he will tell about the
discoveries which have been made in
these ancient ruins, especially about those
things which throw light upon Bible
study. He will describe the excavations,
and read few of the Important inscrip-
tions and exhibit few of the wonderful
clay books which he has found in the
ruins, some of which are 601O years old.
