While awaiting the approval OF the bill

Naples correspondent. is a pity for there are
two excavations near Naples which, il continued
would probably be most interesting. One is at
a place between Tore AnnunZiata and Castel-
ammaret. where caves have been found not
far from the sea which seemingly served the
ancient Romans baths and lighthouses At
the end Of these caves paintings of value
have been found.
The other excavation is at Camaldoli di Tore

large wood, the whole about eighty acres in ex-
