The discourteous refusal Of a
Bourbon Democratic committee to
welcome Mr.. Bryan on the occasion
of his recent visit to Massachusetts,,
las been rebuked in a gratifying
manner by the people of that State.
Citizens of both parties have most
cordially received him, applauding
his speeches with the enthusiasm
which their sentiments and elo-
quence deserve. Short sighted be-
yond measure is the politician who
imagines that Mr.. Bryan is without
honor in his own country. De-
feated though he has been in two
historic presidential campaigns, he
is, nevertheless, without exception,
the most popular man, simply as
No glamour Of success envelopes
his personality, and he has no Off
cial power with which to command
the admiration and gratitude that
consist in lively sense of favors to
come. He is simple citizen. Yet
in the great heart of the American
People-the com mon people of the
East as we'll as those of the West,
including many of both sections
who for one superficial reason or
voted against him-there is
a feeling that this man has repre-
sented them. His eloquence is of
a kind that touches a popular chord
which the mere politician is too apt
10 ignore and the money-changers
understand. Mr.. Bryan's
public life has not ended. 1t has
only fairly begun.-The Public.

When 1t comes to excavation the sultan
is slow to grant frmins, and even when
these permits are signed, sealed and de-
livered, II II happens that any spot appeal
ing to Mohammedan faith is to be dis
turbed, the work OF the Investigators must
stop at the stone barrier of Turkish preju-
dice.
1t is due partly to this cause that so
little really effective work In the line of
discovery has been done. Colonel Gender
has. 1t is true, followed a part of the wall
IT Jerusalem, and what is supposed to
have been a part OF the wall Of Solomon's
temple has been found; but the greatest
work OF the kind was done by DR.. Bliss at
Lachish, or, as 1t is now called, Tell-e
Hesy.
In this mound of many cities" as DR..
Bliss calls it, were the strata OF the civ
iliZation through which the Holy land had
passed, age by age. The spade cut dow
through the Turkish period. through the
Crusaders, through the Roman, Persian,
Greek, Hebrew-down deep into the Am
orite, or earliest historic age. From seven
to nine distinct layers were found by Dr..
Bliss, and it was proved that it was indeed
the ancient city Of Lachish, besieged in
N'"A '"NS ~ H6y bNioh Anu ASSyilah'
Unfortunately the limit OF the time and
means were such that DR.. Bliss could
merely cut out a slice from the great
mound. the rest OF which still awaits the
hand OF the excavator.
The Palestine exploration rund mas been
doing some additional work lately in
Phocaea but as yet the results are mo-
great. Much is expected from a German
and French expedition that is preparing tc
work there. and especially from the Amer
lean School for Bible Study, which has
been founded in Jerusalem.
This college is supported by contribu-
lions from twenty or more OF the leading
American universities. from among whose
students a fellow is selected each year by
competitive examination. one of the pro-
fessors in Semitic being chosen as the pro-
lessor Of the college each year. While this

institution has not begun the work of
excavating, it's field director, DR.. James B.
Mes, Is gathering a large fund to defray
expenses and in few months will probably
begin operations on a large scale.
1t is possible, Bible in hand, to go
through Palestine from Dan to Beersheba
and pick out this or that mound and say:
Here must have been such and such an
ancient city or fortress" But II is i'm
possible to be certain until excavation ex-
poses the character of the buried monu-
ments.
Tradition has done much to preserve the
historical associations of the various spots.
A chapel is erected in the carpenter shop
at Nazareth and there is another chapel
in the home Of Joseph ami Mary.
Bethlehem is filled with g~rottoes identified
with the life of Jesus from the grotto of
nativity with the stone manger in which
the infant was suppoled to have been laid,
to the cave in the field Of Boaz, where
the shepherds were when the star appeared
to them.
With infinite care the church has pre-
served objects such as the stone which
the angels are said to have rolled away
, from the mouth of the tomb at the resur-
rection. Tradition is nrnhahlv correct when
it selects a certain grotto in the Garden OF
Gethsemane as the grotto of the Agony.
There is, too. the stone OF the Anoint-
ment, on which the body Of Jesus was
prepared for burial, but there are many
doubtful points connected with the various
cities and sites of Palestine.
The Turks guard with Jealous care any
attempt to examine the Church of the Holy
Sepulchre and ascertain what tombs are
there. They will not permit the examina-
tion Of the tomb OF Rachel. Neither Jew
nor Christian is permitted to approach
nearer than the grating. 1t would be a
great triumph for the Bible II 1t were pos
sible to open this tomb and find there the
embalmed body Of the wife Of the pa
triarch. but Mohsmmedan prejudices OPP
pose the suggestion unalterably.
1t has been estimated that there are at
Omaha daily bee., 1902-12-21

least 300 tells or mounds of ruins scat
tered over Palestine awaiting examination.
1t Is known that the Arabs, wherever they
find an ancient tomb, rifle it for jewels and
sell any ancient object found in it to the
first pilgrim that passes. IN this way the
historic value of the tomb is lost, because
it is most necessary to know where these
objects are found in order to date them
and place them historically.
1t has been suggested that the great
mound covering what is supposed to be
the site Of ancient Samaria would be a
most fruitful field of investigation. Here
once stood the ivory palace of Jezebel
looking out over the sea, the discovery
Of which would go far towar establish
ing the value of many statements in the
biblical Books OF Kings.
The climate has prevented any attempt
to examine the remains Of Jericho, yet that
interesting southern capital will some
day yield valuable finds to an excavator
who will brave the perils not only Of Arab
chiefs, but Of the fevers or this low-lyigs
district.
1t is not enough for the investigator to
receive permission from the sultan to
work upon any Of these buried cities. but
he must gain the good will Of the Arabs
around him, for the Turkish soldiers are SO
few and scattered that their control Of
conditions is limited; as a result preserving
the peace depends more on the tact of the
excavator and the way in which he dis
tributes brides to neighboring chieftaine
than upon the good will Of the sultan.
There are many scenes which, OF course.
are open to no question, such as the SEQ
OF Galilee and Jerusalem itself, but
whether men are right in locating the an
cient Cana, where water was turned into
wine, as being on the road to Tiberias.
four miles east Of Nazareth, or, as others
would have 1t, at Kana-el-Jelli, near Sep-
phoris, nine miles north OF Nazareth, can
be decided only by excavating.
Catholic tradition has marked out a spot
upon the Mount Of Olives as the place OF
the ascension, but many biblical scholars

vOL1 OF HOLlES' saCreu 10 thTee
great religions, the land Of Pal
estine is as that splendid star
fHS24kBl that shone over 1t 1900 years
NARAAAN ago, when there began the most
beautiful life OF which song OF story or
creed has ever told. AS mankind turns to
the Star with every recurring Christmas
eve, so does its longing turn ever
toward the land of Galilee, the land where
there lie Jerusalem the Queen and Bethle-
hen and the Place of the Cross and the
Resurrection.
"JerusalemI Jerusalem!" sang the He

In all the world under many far stars.
From the Northern Lights to the Southern
Cross he dreams of that one cold. pure
star. shining over the beloved city. as in
stinct today with the Nazarene as when
He trod its narrow streets.
Yet that Holy of HOLES is the one spot
in the world that Is apparently forever out
OF his reach.
Almost year after year is a renewed at
tempt to form a coalition Of religious in
terests to get possession Of the sacred
sites. In it's latest form the attempt comes
as a proposition hat all the Christian
creeds combine in a great crusade TO col
lect enough millions Of dollars to buy the
Holy Land from the Turkish sultan.
But to those who know the motley poll
tics and enmities Of Palestine's present
owners the possibility OF purchase can only
appear a faint one, For. in the first place
the land is holy to the Mohammedan NJ
less than 1t is to the Christian and th'
Jew. He would be both an impious and
daring Moslem ruler who would essay t
sell the country that contains the tom
OF Rachel and the site Of the temple o
solomon, held to be 80 sacred by the Turk
that they will not even permit excavation
near them.

could not deliver the purchased property,
for In hat tract Of 5000 square miles
there dwell fierce Arab fighting men,, some
of whom barely acknowledge the rule OF
the Turk, while others do not acknowledge
II at all. To seize the land from them
might we'll be a bloody performance-as
bloody as the attempt of the twelfth cen
fury crusaders, and, perhaps. with as little
success.
The dream that was dreamed by hun
dreds OF thousands, when the emperor Of
Germany went to Palestine. that he would
be the modern Godfrey to win the Holy
Land for Christianity (albeit by purchase
or treaty and not by arms) has faded
away. And what may be expected in the
form Of a united Christian movement can
be estimated by viewing the strife and
feud that exist all the time between the
Christian sects that have a foothold In
the holy city now. The Turk maintains an
armed guard at :he Church Of the Holy
Sepulcher itself to keep the peace be-
tween the adherents of the Greek and
Latin churches there.
The idea OF purchasing the Holy Land
for the Christians is opposed, also, by the
plan OF the Zionists to purchase Palestine
for the Jews.
The plans OF both are opposed to the In
terests OF Russia. That government today
has its strongholds in most of the prin,
cipal towns of Palestine. They are called
monasteries, but are actually forts, and the
car would resent the control OF the sacred
places by any power other than his own.
Bethlehem is a Christian city and Naza'
reth contains a large number OF Christians
but with these two exceptions, Christian
power is very small. Jewish control is al
together wanting. so that 1t is the Turl
who stands guard over the holiest places
toward which the hearts OF the true be
levers turn.

thin crust were moved toward the sur
face by some power under the in
f1uence of the moon. either lifting or
breaking the crust, according to the
strength of resistance; leading in the
one case to the formation of nom
volcanic mountain ranges, as the
Alps, Himalaya, etc; in the other to
the formation of volcanic ranges, as
the Andes.
"The explanation for the large num-
Der of volcanoes in the equatorial
zone must be sought in the increased
centrifugal motion to which the
region through the rotation of the
earth. This explains to my mind the
present volcanic eruptions and mani
festations along the same line. The
sea bottom along Martinique, east Of
the Caribbean sea, is very deep,
more than 1000 fathoms, and, there
fore, according to my theory, the solia
crust is very thin there.
'The question may be asked why
the volcanic eruptions are not CON
tinuous along definite line, instead
of occurring in isolated spots. The
answer is that the crust of the earth
varies in thickness, the line between
the solid crust and the liquid molten
mass is very uneven and irregular,
and the molten mass touches the solid
crust at different distances. Just as
in the thermometer the rise Of the
mercury can only be observed when
the bulb is drawn out in a capillary
tube, so also can the rising of the
molten mass beneath the crust of the
globe only manifest itself in terrible
commissions when small quantities are
forced into cracks and channels, while
the great surface of the ocean exhibits
only a minimal elevation of the

Regarding the volcanoes of the UNIT
ed States proper, Mount Shasta is one
Of the most interesting of them. Ii
has an altitude of 1880 feet, tower
ing more than a mile above it's nearest
neighbor. Four thousand feet OF it's
peak are above timber line, covered
with glaciers, while the mountains

Shasta is almost continually showing
slight evidences of it's internal fires.
Another Of the famous cones is
that of Mount Hood, standing II 225

extinct as a volcano. Other peaks are
Mount Baker, Mount Rainier, Mount

AS to the volcanic records Of the
great west, they may be read in the
great chains of mountains that stretch
from Alaska, 10000 miles to Terra del
