from the island in 1901 was only

100000. The pressure of dis

VALUABLE MARBLES FOUND.

The British Museum has late
ly come into possession of some
interesting and valuable marbles
which were found buried in a
"rockery" in an estate in Essex.
One is an inscription from a mon
ument erected in Athens in honor
of the volunteers from Cleone
who took part in the battle of Tan
agra against the Lacedemonians
and Eubeans, AIS b. G. The
Inscription was published in the
Archeologia Of the Society of
Antiquaries in 1771. Stuart is
supposed to have picked up the
inscription in Greece when he was
preparing that publication. He
sent it to Smyrna to be taken by
ship to England. There it was
lost. 1t seems, however, that it
was brought to England by navy
captain, who gave it to friend,
who, in turn gave it to well
known antiquarian, Thomas Astle.
1t was on the latter's estate that
the fragments were found. They
had doubtless been thrown away
by some unappreciative descen-
dant. In the same estate, a few
days later, fragment of the Par
thenon frieze was discovered. 1t
is supposed that this was brought
to England at the same time as
the inscription. Thomas Astle
was once trustee of the British
Museum.
