BY Edgar James Banks

In the very center of ancient Baby
lonia, half way between the Tigris and
Euphrates rivers, lies a series of long,
low hills about forty feet in height and
extending for a mile and a half in
length and three-fourths of a mile in
width. The surface of the ground is
thickly strewn with minute fragments
of terra Gotta pottery and small flint
saws, and here and there appear broken
bricks, as If inviting one to excavate
the walls Which lie beneath.
The canals, in olden times making the
spot inhabitable, have been filled by
the terrific sand storms which sweep
over the plain. The country about is
an absolutely barren desert, a sort OF
no mans land, forming a boundary line
between several savage Arab tribes In
recent years it has been the haunt of
the most ferocious robbers of the desert
Bismya has been visited by few ex-
plorers. Dr. Ward and DIR. Peters each
spent a few moments there, and both
were OF the opinion that it marked
the site OF an ancient Babylonlan city.
but more than one German explorer has
asserted that the ruin contained moth
ing more ancient or more valuable than
an Arab mud fort. However, all have

structed 1850 years ago. Indeed, thi:
brick and others from the same wal
were, with very few exceptions, the
most recent inscriptions discovered al
Bismya.
This brick inscription was but fore
runner of others more ancient which
were soon to follow. Just beneath it
appeared a short inscription of Naram
Sin, the son of the famous Sargon, who,
according to Nebonidus, lived about
$500 b. c., but to the Assyrologists of
a few years ago was a mythical char
acter. Less than meter below a
structure 1850 years old was therefore
another a thousand years older.
The trenches were dug into the hill
until the side of the lower stage of the
tower was reached, and then continued
about the walls in the hopes of finding
a doorway Shafts were sunk at the
corners, and at less than "a meter be-
low the stratum of Sargon and Naram
Sin we came upon a platform of tenn
pie built of plano-conVeX bricks, in
shape like loaf of bread, fiat on the
bottom and rounded at the top. These
bricks, also found in the very oldest
strata at Telloh and Nippur, had been
assigned by Assyriologists to a period
not far from 450O B. C. My own subse-
quent discoveries at Bismya confirmed
this opinion.
While the workmen were digging a
deep trench along the plano-convex
wall and was standing on the summit
of the temple hill experimenting the
work a young Arab stuck his head
above the trench and eXcitedly mo-
toned to me. Expecting that something
of importance had been discovered,
hastened into the trench and there
saw projecting from the hard dirt
large piece of smooth white marble,
which at once suggested a nude statue.
The Arabs, uncertain as to what they
had discovered, became so excited that
was Obliged to remove them from the
trench and place them at work in an
other part of the ruin.
A little before sunset, when the work
ceased for the day, we went into the
trench to uncover the marble. Lest it
should be marred by the pick, we care

ILL ~ Ag 41SMYA- DVas1Na- THE


THE history of civilization has been
set back thousand years before
the accepted dates by the recent
discovery of statue and various other
relics at Babylon. The search at this
point, already so well repaid, has been
carried on by American archaeologists
under the supervision of the University
of Chicago. The work was made pos
sible by the gift of 100000 by John D.
Rockefeller to be devoted to archaeo-
logical work in Babylonia and Egypt.
The discovery of the statue of David,
the Samaritan king, which is attracting
much attention, was made by DR.. Edgar
James Banks. The work is being car
ried forward at present by Mr.. Parsons.
The statue is in the hands of the COM
missioner appointed by the Turkish
government to receive all antiquities.
Arrangements, it is believed, will be
made with the government to obtain
considerable portion of the finds for
American museums.
Los Angeles herald., 1905-06-04

agreed that, whatever the ruin cor.
tained, the absence of water and its
location on the border territory of sew
eral tribes would render excavations
impossible.
In my efforts with the Ottoman gov
ernment to obtain a firman to open
excavations 1 was, for inexplicable
reasons, refused permission to excavate
the two Biblical cities, Ur in South
Babylonia and Cutha in the north, and
in spite of the disadvantages which
Bismya presented my next choice fell
upon 1t.
Present Day Appearance
1t was a long, hard journey of more
than month across the northern Ara
bian desert from Damascus to Bismya,
and my first impression after reaching
the long, low ruin, in which not even
the Arab antiquity hunters had dug
was not encouraging. The first few
days were spent with sixty armed
Arabs in digging into the caving sand
for water. Just as the thirsty work
men were threatening to abandon me
the sand began to grow moist and soon
water appeared. The water was salty,
but for thirsty men it was drinkable.
On Christmas day, 1908. the excavations
were opened.
There is a similarity in Babylonian
ruins. Most of them show traces of
surrounding walls, square staged tenn
pie, palace or two and canal, and
1t was not difficult TO recognize the
forms of most of these structures at
Bismya. With a force of 100 Arab
workmen, each armed with a long bar
relied flintlock or a more modern
Mauser, work was begun on the side of
a square shaped NIL somewhat higher
than most of the others.
Just beneath the surface the mound
was filled with fragments of square
Babylonian bricks, showing the remains
OF a fallen staged tower, and a few
strokes of the pick revealed half of one,
upon which was inscribed the name of
King Dunsi, king of Ur, 275O b. C. AL.
though nothing but the name was legi-
BILE, yet It proved conclusively that we
were excavating city ana not a mod
ern Arab ruin, and that the city was Of
no mean age for almost on the surface

Red Acre farm, as probably most
is a home for horses, situated in the
town of Stow, and about twenty-three
miles from Boston. A similar refuge
was opened at Acton, near London, In
the year 1886, but the home at Red
Acre is the first of it's kind to be estab-
iished in this country. If it can be
maintained long enough-for new chari-
ties make their way slowly-it is cer-
in other parts of the country, and
therefore any money given to the farm
has double function-it saves some
suffering now and will have the effect
of saving ten times more in the future
Every cent contributed to the Massa-
chusetts refuge goes directly to the
support of the horses-there is nothing
to pay for the rent of the farm or of
the buildings, or for the services of the
managerial these are generously
given by the manager and founder of
the enterprise. But the farm has no
endowment, and no income except
from gifts, and at this moment the
funds are practically exhausted. In
the hope that some generous heart
may be touched, the treasurer begs
leave to make the following statement:
The farm has been in operation for
nearly two years. The first year it re-
ceived seventy-two forses; during the
present, the second year, this number
has been increased considerably, and
from fifteen to twenty horses may
usually be found there. SoTAe OF them
are family favorltes, pensioned in their
old age, but most of them are horses
which In one way or another have
been rescued from state of great
misery.
or these, some require only food,
rest and perhaps medical or surgical
treatment, to become fit for work; and
when SO fit they will be loaned or let
to trustworthy persons and In such
situations that they can be kept under |
observation. No horses will be sold. |
But many Of the horses at the farm
Los Angeles herald., 1905-06-04
Humane Red Cross Farm

are, from old age, lameness or other
cause, incapable of being restored to
health and strength and these ami
mails, after such a period of rest and
horse happiness as circumstances per-
init, will mercifully be killed. The
sufferings of this class of horses are
increased a hundred fold in severe
winter weather. In every town in
New England there are today horses
dying by inches of cold and starva-
tion, without blanket or bedding, with
little food, and tied up in barns so out
of repair that the wind and snow
make an easy entrance. But it may
be asked, why do the owners keep
them? why don't they kill them to
put them out of their misery? In
many cases the reason is simply that
strange inertia which marks the de-
generate class, and especially the ru-
raj degenerates. In other cases-and
the hcrse is kept along from day to
day with vague hope that some pur-
chaser will turn up.
There is a large traffic in broken.
down, WORKOUT, diseased and suffer-
ing horses, and jockeys OF the most
degraded character make a precarious
living from it, Recently, in one day, at
Lowell, fourteen horses were sold by
auction, the highest price for any one
of them being $40. In one day, at ono
auction stable in Boston, ten horses
were purchased at prices ranging from
SO to 81. II horse can walk to the
hackers he may be worth SO, and
the wretched animal is often bought
for 81 upon the chance that he may
be able to make the journey without
dropping dead on the way. On Wednes-
days and Saturdays (the sale days)
a collection of feeble and dead-lams
horses may sometimes be seen, after
dark, slowly and painfully making
their way to certain rendering es-
tablishment situated in the woods, some
six OF seven miles from Boston, the
last part of the road being so steep
and stony as to tax the energies OF a
sound horse. Sometimes they drop
dead before the journey is completed.

missing head until it became so dark
that we could see no longer, and, not
finding it, bore our treasure to the
camp.
Treating the Statue
Our first duty to our headless king
was to give him bath. AS we scrubbed
away the dirt there appeared upon the
right upper arm the three lines of an
inscription, but in characters so ancient
and peculiar that at the time l was
unable to decipher them.

heavy statue from its bed of dirt, where
it had rested for several thousands OF
years, we searched about for the miss
ing parts. The toes, broken into sew
eral fragments, were lying just beneath
it and when placed to the feet they
fitted together. The lower part of the

the stone came to an end. The toes
were missing. Then digging toward
the upper part of the statue we uncov-
cred the folded hands, the bare arms,
the shoulder and the neck and then
again, to our sorrow. the stone ended.

We had almost despaired Of ever find
ing it when a workman who was clear
ing away the dirt near another corner
of the temple, several rods from the
SPOT where the statue was found,
picked up a large, round, hard sub
stance. AS he scraped away the dirt
white marble appeared, then the nose,
the ears. the mouth and the eyes OF
the head of a statue. 1 hurried with 1t
to the camp and placed it on the neck
of the statue. 1t fitted and our king
was complete. Even beneath the dirt
which still clung to the face we could
imagine that there rested a smile of
happiness, for the old king had recov-
cred the head which he had lost long
ago, even before we used to believe the
world was created. The first thought
was one which has since been expressed
repeatedly in the American papers
the face was striking likeness OF
what one might expect an ancestor OF
