Seeking TO Excapate
City of Hercul0neunl
prof. WaIdstein Believes Best Treasures OF
Classic Life Lie Buried Beneath the
Modern Town of Rcsina

Prof. Charles Waldstein, of the Uni
versity of Cambridge. England, has in
terested the President in the movement
TO carry out the project of eXcavating
the city of Rerculeaneum.
Prof. Waldstein came to this country
at the solicitation of Secretary Hay, who
is interested in the movement. President
Roosevelt has consented to become the
head Of the American national represent
tation To- carry out this PROJECT.
Yesterday afternoon Prof. WaldsteiI1
delivered a lecture on -'Herculaneum and
the Proposed international Excavation
at the home of Herbert Wadsworth.
The Lecturers Views.
Prof Waldstein said in part:
''Herculaneum together with Pompeii
was destroyed by eruption of Vesuvius
in the year 10 a. d. The difference be-
tween the effect of eruptions on the
two places is this: Pompeii is covered
with hot cinders. ashes. and pumice
stones, SO that objects are burnt or dam
aged.
"Herculaneum is covered with liquid
mud to the height of eighty feet, which
has preserved objects found there per
fectly. Most of the beautiful objects in
the museum +of Naples come from Her
culaneuH1, and not from Pompeii. 1t is
now held by all biologists and archaeol-
cgists that Herculaneum is not covered
by lava. but by material most favorable
to preservation.
''Pompem was an uncultured and pro-
vincial commercial town Herculaneun

ture, Asrippina, Servilia. the Rabbi and
