A RECENT DISCOVERY.

Among the most magnificent and ex-
tensive architectural ornaments of the
Romans were the baths erected by the
different emperors for the use of the
populace, and the vast ruins still exist
ing testify to their great size and the
unparalleled luxury of their arrange
ments. The public baths of Pompeii
were uncovered in 1924 and the COM
plete internal arrangement disclosed,
which is probably similar to, though on
a smaller scale than those of Rome.
The public bath was common in Greece
during the historic period, and they
were in use at Rome from early times.
each bath was built entirely of stone
and polished marble, and all of the
apartments were beautifully ornament
ed with mosaic, and profusedly adorned
with paintings. One Of Caracalla's
baths was capable of allowing $4,000
people to battle at one time. In Ho-
nolulu the only bath is Bath the
Plumber and his Douglass Closet.
