wonderful to think OF. Buried ciVlliza-

the heights to which in many direc-
tinns they attained fill with amaze
ment the modern mind inclined to
boast that the present is the croWning
age of the world. Never before has
the solidarity Of the human race under
different skies, in centuries far re-
moved from each other, been so pro-
foundly impressed upon the mental and
moral consciousness of man, as now it
is: the result OF every new research in
Egypt. Babylonia, Greece, Palestine,
Rome, Arizona. Mexico, East Africa.

upland heights so far above sea level
across which we have stretched the
long lines of shining steel rails through
what We had deemed Il never settled

spoken.
Almost simultaneously came the an
nouncement of the strange finding by
Greek sponge fishers of the rich cargo
of the ship, known to have been sunkcn
near Cape Malea, deep in the Aegean
Sea, in which the Roman general,

OF Grccian art as trophies for the
adornment of Rome, Also at this time
