Ann Arbor Mans Hard Luck.
Professor Mark w Harrinpto,

Professor Mark w. Harrington,
once occupying the chair OF astron-
omy at Ann Arbor, and subsequent
ly chief of the United States
weather bureau at the national cap
ital. is said to be working as a day
iaborer in a North Pacific coast
lumber camp. Shortly after the
political changes which led to Pro-
lessor Harrington'S downfall in
Washington, his health failed. In
sOnnia undermined his strength and
impaired his activity. Within the
last six or eight years he has had a
variety of experiences. He was
president of the university of the
state OF Washington for year or
two, went to the Orient, where he
was overtaken by scarlet fever, and
after his return to this country
worked on Louisiana sugar plant
alton. Still more recently he filed a
homestead claim in the FIR forests
of Washington, but instead of clear
ing the land himself he entered the
employ of lumber company at
Port Blakely. An Ann Arbor dis
patch says that his outdoor life is
improving his health, conducting to
sleep and restoring his ambition.
He has hopes Of returning to his old
place in the intellectual and scien-
ti6c world.

An Algerian Pompoii.

Letters reaching Marseilles from
Algiers state that the excavations
carried out at Timgad, on the site
Of the ancient Thamugas, have
brought to light veritable Alge-
rian "Pompeii.' The boundaries of
the ancient city have now been laid
bare on three sides. During 1901
more than 100000 cubic meters of
earth were removed, and the archae-
ologica! results were of the richest.
These include a magnificent Roman
mansion belonging to Sertius, pub
lie baths. a fountain, Byzantine
basilica with three aisies, a grand
staircase leading to the upper part
OF the theater, superb pagan tenn
