CATAcoMBs OF PALMYRA.

Christian catacombs have just been dis
covered to exist beneath the ruins of Pal
myra. that city OF which the beautiful and
learned Zenobia was queen In the second
century. This discovery is very interest
ing. says the illustrated London News, -
as it shows that the faith of Christcndon
vas early carried to the Far East. The
remarkable woman sovereign, who made
her little city In the desert so rich and
splendid as TO attract the envy of the Ro-
man emperors, is known to have engaged
artists and aFtifieers from afar for the
decoration Of Palmyra. and the paintings
On the walls Of the eatacombs are sc fine
that it is inferred that many of the Greek
artists drawn to Palmyra by the queen
and her court must there have been con-
veTted 10 Christianity. and devoted their
talents to perpetgating the features Of
the faithful departed. No evidence has
appeared, however, 20 indicate that the
brilliant sovereign whom Aurelian led in
his triumph a captive through the streets
OF Rome was herself Christian convert.
