NEW DISCOVERIES IN ROME.
Foundations of the Arch of Tiberius
Definitely Located.

Another important discovery has just
been made in the Roman Forum In
front of the Teynpie-of SItllrn. between
the ROstra and the Basilica G:ulia. Sig
nor BOni has found a large platform of
concrete with marks of a massive com
structi0n which formerly stood upon it,
These marks have been recognized as
those of The arch Of 1iberius, which was
of the same dimensions as the arch Of
Septimus SeverIls, and which stood on d
line with the arch of Augustus.
The position of the foundations CORE
spends exactly to the position assigned
to the arch of Tiberius in the basrelief
ON the arch of Constantine. Traces Of
these foundations were first discovered
in November but could not be certainly
identified until now.
The arch of Tiberius was erected in
the year 16 Of the present era in order
to celebrate the recuperatlon by Ger
manicus of the eagles lost by Varrs
when the three Roman legions were de-
strOyed by Germans under Arminus.
From the point of view of topography
the discovery of the foundations is most
important. since many historians and
topographers have placed the arch of
Tiberius at the opening of the Vicus
JugariHs. and have drawn erroneous
conclusions. as the arch of Tiberius was
the principal point in the topography Of
the Forum during the first century of
the empiFe.-Paris Messenger.

AMERICANS ARE SPECIALISTS.
Concentration Enables Our Mauufac-
turers to Produce CheapIy.

The goal toward which all successful
manufacturers work is the maximum of
units Of product at the minimum of cost
per unit. This is attained, in part, by
specialization-eence upon sin
gle speciality, says a writer in Cassier's
Magazine.
For example, in n great shop at Null
house, in Alsace, employing 5000 men. |
saw waterworks and blowing engines, To-
comotives and other heavy machinery,
along with cotton spinning machinery
and the lightest articles made in iron.
The same range of manufacturing would
in the United States, call for half Il
dozen separate plants, each concentrate
ing effort ON a single product. and sell
ing il at figures for which the Alsatian
works could not dream of making it. In
Great Britain, to use an0,he illustra-
ton, an agricultural implement works
makes road engines, ilreshers, mowers
and rcapers, cultivatOrs and variety Of
small farm tools. But when they nut
any one of their machines into the field
they meet a Chicago-made article which
is laid down on the spot at a less price
than that for which the British firm can
hope to simply produce it. The Chicago
MANUFACTURER builds vast works to
make nothing ut~'mowers and binders.
One concern employs thousands of men
on threshing machines and road engines
to haul them, while still other large fac
tories MIKE the cultivators, drills. etc.
Machines turned out by tens of thou
sands, instead of thousands, can be made
in greater perfection and at materially
lower cost, even if all other factors are
uniform. But if cheaper raw materials,
more efficient labor, better management
and more up-to-date works be added, the
