The Boston Journal has it's figures
badly mixed and consequently draws
conclusions not warranted by the facts.
1t is not our purpose to enter into a de-

the devil should be given his due. The
statement was made at the Legislative
hearing. last week. that there had been
80 deaths at Shiloh in 10 years. the

a Lost Literature.

One of the strongest hopes ani;nating
4 those who are behind the International
project for the excavation of the long
buried Herculaneum is that under the
ashes and mud which have entombed
the old city for over is centuries may
he fond priceless treasures of IN" lost
Greek literature. Unlike Pompeii,
| which VAS u commercial CITY, Hercu-
laneurm vas a city Of wealth and Gull
| ture and undoubtedly had many
private libraries Of great value. More
over. the city was Greek iii it origin
| and largely Greek in its culture and
| upon this fact rests the hope that its
ruins nay give back to the world some
of those masterpieces of literature
which We're lost through the ignorance
and bigotry of early monks and the
vandalism of Mohammctlan soldiers
both of whom delighted in The dcstruc-
tion Of pagan libraries.
We have but fragments of The itc,i-
tuTc Of the Greeks, though IN our adj
rlraiion for these fragments and i'm
our contemplation of their vast iniu-
ence upon all later litcratures we some.
times lose sight of this fact. 4 writer
in the New York Mail points out that
the extent of our losses may be IN
fcri ed from the fact that Greek trag-
cdv is known to us only through the
" orls Of three men. and Greek comedy
only through the work of one man.
The entire field of the Hellenic drama
