second church here also. The first was
hardly more than a chapel, twelve by
eighteen feet, with semi-circular recess
on the west. The walls are built in Ro-

stucco, on which are some traces Of dec
orative foliage in red tints. The pave
ment is a MOSAIC of black and white
cubes, forming a large circle and lozen-

This little building bears the character
of the oratories of the fourth and fifth
centuries. 1t is without doubt one of
the oldest church edihces ever discover
ed in the Holy Land. Two inches in the
recess show the Christian character of
the editice without any doubt, for one is
evidently the prothesis or obiationarum,
where the faithful deposit their Offering

diaconicum where the chalice and Gospel

the shooting says: Deputy Sheriff w. c.
Hague had a warrant for the arrest of
McRae, charging him with carrying con-
cealed weapons. He learned of his pres
ence at the school, and rode up to the
building, requesting the principal of the
school to tell McRae that he desired him
to come outside, as he wanted to see
him. With this request McRae refused
to comply, when the officer dlsmounted
from his horse and entered the building.

It is a very common one in the private
schools of Paris. Boys there font le pied
de nez behind the backs of schoolmasters.
The gesture is made by placing a thumb
to the nose, extending the hand, and plac-
ing the thumb of the other hand extended
at the end of the fourth finger. Two his
torical instances of the pied de nez have
come to my knowledge. One was made
by Pauline Bonaparte behind the back of
the Empress Marie Louise; the other was
made by late noble lord, acting as cap
tain of the Yeomen of the Guard at Buck
ingham Palace, behind the back of the
late Queen. She saw him in a mirror,
and with consequences that he had cause
to rue for the rest of his life. You see
from this that human nature is the same
in tragedy queens, in noble lords, and in
communal school pupils.

Valdosta, Ga. April "a telephone mes
sage was received here this morning from
Melrose, requesting Coroner Solomon to
go to that place and hold an inquest
over the remains of white boy who
was found dead in the woods near there.
No particulars we're received and efforts
to get Melrose since then have failed the
wires being out of working order. 1t is
supposed that the body was that of

so the inquest will have to be held by
a justice of the peace.

a new concern which is to start a large

was Mount Tabor is agreed in the same
unanimous fashion by all Christian au-
thorities from the earliest times to the
present day. But it is only lately that
excavations have been made at Tabor
proving the early occupation of this
mountain as a site sacred to early Chris
tians This valuable investigation has
been made by an Alsatian missionary,
Father Barnabe, who is considered one
of the leading authorities upon Christian
archaeology in Palestine and is now in
the monastery on Mount Tabor. His in
vestigations have just been made public
In Paris.
Mount Tabor had been notable place
even in early Egyptian times. lying as it
did upon the direct route between Egypt
and Assyria. Prof. Maspero has identified
an Egyptian scarabaeus found at Tabor
as belonging to the eighteenth Egyptian
dynasty, so this site must have been we'll

best archaeological grounds 1t can be as
serted that the ruins found here are not
later than the sixth century, but they
may be much earlier. The church was
perched upon the solid rock, on the very
spot according to tradition, where the
TRANSPORTATION took place. On each side
are the chapels dedicated to Moses and
Elijah, and they were certainly construct
ed at the same time as the main edif1ce.
In the ruins of this church were found
several capitals in white marble. One of
these capitals is perfectly preserved, and
is foot and a half high. 1t is markedly
Corinthian in character, and Identical
with those of the Basiiica of Bethlehem.
which archaeologists agree goes back to
the age of Constantine.
The ancient church was succeeded in
later times by one built by the Benedic-
tine monks, which was destroyed by the
troops of Saladin in 1857. From 1909 to
1217 the Saracens were in possession. In
1929 the City of Nazareth and Mount Ia
Dor were surrendered to Christian hands,
and the mountain was occupied by the
Hungarian Brothers, who built a, new
church, using some of the material from
the old one. During the Crusades this
was burned.
There are other interesting ruins north
of the remains of the church, consisting
of vast hall with the bases of three
huge columns which once sustained the
arches. That this hall was very broad

Caesarea no single detail is given. Six
days later the mystery of the Transf1gu-
ration took place. All three EvangeHsts
seem to insist upon space of time hav-
ing elapsed between the last discourse
of the Savior and His TRANSPORTATION.
Since no word is said of any preaching
during this time it is probable that the
six days were passed in journey, and 1t
might easily take six days, walking as
slowly as Jesus walked in converse with
His disciples. to go from Caesarea Phil
ippi to Tabor.
Having satisfied himself by his inves-
LEGATIONS, both historical and geographic
cal, that Mount Tabor was the site of
the TRANSPORTATION, Father Barnabe set
himself to the examination of the ruins
found there. The transformation of the
buildings on Tabor have been so numer-
Gus that they present many difficulties
TO the archaeologist who has to help him
self by history at times, and then fill
in the gaps of history by his discoveries.

more than probable from Rabbinical ira
ditions, which speak of it as the Sacred
Mountain of Galilee. Father Barnabe
holds that the tradition which located
the TRANSPORTATION on Mount Tabor is
one of the best founded of all traditions,
going back to the very first century of
the Christians. Origen, Eusebius, ST.
Cyril of Jerusalem and st. Jerome are
unanimous in proclaiming Tabor as the
Mount of TRANSPORTATION. Attentive
study of the accounts in the three Cos
pels of the TRANSPORTATION points toward
Tabor, although it is not named.
Father Barnabe points out that Jesus,
during the last few weeks of His life,
was making a final pastoral journey in
Galilee. He came from Tyre and was on
His way to the Sea of Genesereth. At
last He reached Caesarea Philippi on the
extreme northern boundary of the terri
tory of Israel, in the center of a pop
ulation largely pagan. When he arrived
in this neighborhod he asked his disci-
pies:
who do they say the Son of Man is?
And you yourselves, who do you say /
amp" Simon-Peter answering, said You
are the Christ, the Son of the Living
God" Seeing them so well fixed in the
faith Jesus began to disclose to His dis
ciples that He must go to Jerusalem. suf-

KILLED BY A RACE HORSE.

The Athens Banner says a Mr.. Wake
field of near Planter who was in that
city last week. told of the startling death
of a negro near his home Tuesday after
noon. There was a race horse in the com
munity which is well known in Athens,
having been owned by Messrs. j. S. Che
ney and T. ]. Scott, and a negro named
Ned johnson had been very anxious for
several days to see how fast the horse
could run. The negro mounted the horse
late Tuesday afternoon, and, putting
spurs to him, went down the road as
fast as the horse could carry him. After
running about 100 yards, the spectators
who had seen the horse start off saw
that the horse was becoming unmanage-
able, but it was too late then to do any
thing toward stopping him. Not more
than $40 yards from where he started the
horse plunged into a deep mud hole and
mired up to his shoulders. The negro
boy was instantly thrown off and fell
with violence against log some ten feet
away from the horse, and must have been
instantly killed, as he was dead when help
reached him. He was badly mangled and
one leg was almost entirely torn from
his body. The horse was shocked, but
not badly hurt.

now about seven feet above the level of
the Baltic. At the same time correspond

IRENE of the Province OF Scandal. and
these are now found to be three feet be-
low the level of the Baltic. Even the

other similar instances might be cited,

ruined arches. This is thought to be the
capitular hall of the Benedictines. There
have also been found large Ionic capi-
tai which seems to belong to the Mace
DOMAIN period anterior to Jesus Christ
Another capital found in wall has the
head of lion in the center and crouch
ing child on each side of it. On another
capital are the figures of lion and
bull. Still another capital is markedly
Egyptian or Phoenician in style, with the
figure of a ram and a lion or tiger. Here,
too. are many blocks OF basalt with Gu
rious figures upon them, like those found
on the slopes of Mount Hermon. All of
these stones are, of course, of pagan or
igin.
The inscriptions in Greek and Arabic
are well preserved, and refer to the build

ancient wine and oil presses. Near them
