CICERo'S VILLAS.
Lecture Before the Archaeological So
ciety

The members and guests at the sixteenth
meeting of the Washington Society of the
Archaeological Institute of America. held
last evening at the residence of Miss Board
man, on Dupont circle, listened to adj
dress by Prof. Karl p. Harrington of the
Wesleyan University on Cicero and His
Villas" The speaker said in part:
THE influence of environment upon lit
erary life and productiveness is immeasure-
able The modern world, to be sure, edu-
Gates men to triumph over their unattrac-
tive surroundings. and, though cooped up in
A. city office, to send forth artistic and
esthetic descriptions of nature. But in
Roman times most of the authors of note
came from the country. Even after the
metropolis had become the necessary center
of all literary activity every Roman author
wanted a country seat to which he could
escape at will. Cicero, of all the citizens
the most devoted to the eternal city, always
impatient to return when away from Rome,
was likewise the most lavish In providing
villas in the country. among the hills or by
the sea, and possessed no less than eight of
these in different parts Of the peninsula.
An acquaintance with the following places
and the Photographic reproduction OF the
scenery amid which he there passed SO
many days ought to be enlightening with
reference to the work he did and the lit
erary masterpieces he left US:
''Arpinum. his birthplace, on the river
Liris; boyhood surroundings. to which he
frequently retired in later years. The many
important events and literary works con-
nected with this spot.
''Tusculum, the favorite suburban home.
with its library, works of art and delightful
associations
''Antium, the bathing resort on the shore
of the Tuscan sea, with its destinations.
"Astura, the lonely retreat, where he
mourned for his daughter and dashed off
volumes of philosophy.
"Formiae. the charming mountain-backed
bay.
''Cumae, and the companionship of the
genteel society Of the day.
''Puteoli, a valuable estate to replenish
Ciceros empty purse.
"Pompeii, miniature Greece, ON the
glorious bay Of Naples"
The lecture was illustrated by nearly 100
stereopticon views, most of which were
taken by the speaker.
The following were announced as new
members of the society. recently enrolled:
Mrs. Victor L. Clement, Prof. Frank Leigh

The Scientific Reason FOR Cremation.

To the Editor Of The Star;
Relative to the discussion now going on as
regards cremation VS.. interment, allow me-

do with dead body there would be but
one answer. Burn What method was
first resorted to for the removal OF the dead
is not known. nor Is 1t of any great value;
but within historic times methods have
varied with different peoples according to
their religious sentiments. according to the
views they have held OF the relations of
this their earthly existence to that which
they hoped for IN the great and everlasting
future. The ancients employed two prin-
cipal Observation-Disclosures. or burying. and

To Look Into Explosion Mystery.

A board of inquiry, consisting OF Capts
Simpson and Nixon and Lieut.. Cabbei, the
first and last named of whom were MEM
bers of the board OF inquiry that lnvesti-
gated the fire on the Meade. has been ap-
pointed by Major Duval to examine the evil
dence and endeavor to solve the mystery
attached to the explosion of the chest be-
longing to Company b, I'd United States IN N
fantry which exploded on Monday while
being packed on dray at the southern
Pacific freight station.
Harry Loughran, driver of the dray, VINO
was handling the chest at the time II ea a
ploded and was painfully hurt, has now re-
covered sufficiently to be able to tell Whar
he knows about the affair In an lntefVie"
today he said:
'.The box was handed to me by one of the
Southern Pacific warehouse men. who was
unloading the car with me. He let the box
down easy from the floor OF the car 10 the
bed Of the truck l was driving, and L was
preparing to shove the EoX to the front end
of the wagon when he remarked that had
better look at the number of the box to see
what company it belonged to. For TINS pur-
pose L threw the box to the bed OF the
wagon and was STOPPING TO turn IL over
when the explosion occurred.
The only clew to the explosion is eylin-
drical tin can, the top and bottom of
which are blown out and the curved sloes
of which are badly warped and twisted
Its inner surface is covered with an odor-
Gus SCOT closely resembling burnt powder.
Special agents Levin and MADDEN, who
investigated the case for the railroad COM
pany. have made full report. They ex-
pressed the conviction that the can had
contained black powder, but said they
were unable TO determine the nature of any
other explosive that it might have con-
tanned. Black powder will not explode by
conclusion and the railroad agents are salts
fed that an explosive of terrific power must
have been mixed with the black powder
before it was placed in the box.
nlrrhf q r
ed to have been intended for transporta-
ton on the Meade, and in the light Of fire
in the hold of that transport 1t was at once
TO burn or blow UP the Meade. Such ideas
are made to seem improbable in the light
of what has since become known, for the
chest was plainly marked for storage and
could not under any circumstances other
than absolute negligence on the part of
a succession of workmen have gone aboard
the Meade.
The board of inquiry into the matter will
hold its first session today.
