which were built to supply the city with water. There were two sets of them, one at each side of the town. They were of vast dimensions, enormous barrel-Shaped caverns, AS feet long and more than 80 feet in diameter. They were surmounted by cupolas and were connected with pipes for distributing the water. The largest of these cisterns are near an Arab vil- lage, and they are now used as stables and dwellings by the Arabs. They num- Der twenty-four and cover many acres. I went down into some of them. In one I found a tiny gray donkey with little Arab girl standing beside 1t. and in an other an old hen with a flock of little chickens feeding about her. A part of one cistern has been walled off as a hay now another Is now an Arab house, and in thirc I saw Bedouin woman grind ing meal upon two stones which rested on the floor.
 The dust of ages has half filled these great caverns and they make an excellent protection from the weather. As I made my notes within them I heard the cry of prayer from a Mohammedan tomb nearby. The cry was There is no God but God and Mohammed is his prophet!" As I listened I could not but think of the peo- pie who drank from these cisterns 500 years before the Christian era, and more than 1000 years before Mohammed first saw the ISht or uay Tn the ueSerIS or Arabia.
 Later in the day I visited the cisterns on the other side of the town. They are 2500 years old, but the French have re- paired them and they now supply water to the villages and towns about. The water comes from Tunis, and it is pumped in by steam engines. The cisterns are thirty feet deep, and something like 600 feet long. The engineer told me that he had about 6000.000 gallons In them at the time of my visit.
 These cisterns, as used by the Cartha- glnians, were first filled with rain water. Later on they were supplied by an enor- nous aqueduct erected by the Roman em- peror Hadrian This brought the water from Dougga, about eighty miles away It carried 6,000,000 gallons a. day, and the water passed through underground canals and over valleys on magnificent arches to Carthage. The remains of this aqueduct can be seen In many places, and parts of 1t have been so restored that 1t now sup plies Tuns with water. The work cost millions, and it was done by a French engineer. Iron pipes have been used in- stead of the arches, but the old masonry still upholds much of the works. The water supply Is much greater than it was in the days of the Romans.

| cities. The palaces of the Bey of Tunis are built of Punic marble, and the. ba- zars of Tunis are flanked with marble columns, which the Arabs have painted over in red, yellow and green stripes, so that they now look more like barber poles than anything else.
 Many of the houses of Tunis contain materials from the same source, and the ruins here have been furnishing building stone of one kind or another for more than 1000 years.
 During recent centuries the various mu- seums of the world have been robbing this ancient city and travellers also have been allowed to pick up and carry away what they pleased This Is so today, although the French have established two museums, one on the site of old Carthage, and the other at the Bardo, in the palace of the bey, and are trying to preserve what is left.
 Exploring Ruins.
 The books about Africa will tell you that there Is nothing of Carthage now to be seen except few brolen-down cisterns which once supplied the city with water. This Is not so. The French have been making excavations ever since they have had Tunsia under their control This is so not only here, but in all parts of the country, and they have un-
 
 !, those of Athens and Rome. They are anxious to increase their work along these lines, and the remains are such that 1t might well pay our rich Amer lean colleges to establish schools of ex- ploration here. as they have done in old Greece.
 Take this city of Carthage alone and imagine what might be found. Suppose you could blot from the face of the United States either Boston, Philadelphia or St. Louis. Suppose you could destroy all the buildings and cover them with earth. Then let them lie for decades and build other great cities on top. Then destroy those cities, and let the storms and dust of a thousand years settle upon them, and you may have some idea of the condition of the ruins of Carthage today You must add, however the tombs in which the ancients were accustomed to put Jewelry and other relics, and imagine that the destruction was such that much of he belongings of the people were left fin the debris.
 It Is now more than twenty-seven hun- dred years since the first buildings of Carthage were erected and many of the objects I saw today were more than 2000 years old As I went over the ruins I observed the Arab farmers blowing up bits of pottery and pieces of marble which were parts of houses more than twenty centuries ago, and I have been bothered all day by dark-faced Moham- medans begging me to buy Cartheginian coins in use long before Christ and cameos the size of my finger nail, which were probably worn In the rings of those

 Some of the tombs were far below ground, and others almost at the surface. From one cemetery they have taken 289 epitaphs
 and from another 800, including the names
 of librarians. schoolmasters, doctors, sol diers, nurses, dancers and slaves. Some of the oldest tombs are triangular in shape; others contained marble sarcoph- agi, and in some were men and women
 loaded with jewels.
 During my visit to the museum I saw
 many little stone boxes which were found full of charred ashes and bones. A4iey date
 back to the days of Carthage the mighty. and are supposed to have contained the ashes of children who were sacrificed to
 Moloch. This brazen god was made red hot at the times of sacrifice, and the chill
 dren were placed in his arms. It was the
 custom to give him not only little chill dren, but also young men and maidens. The victims were thrown into his red-hot
 arms, and from there they rolled down | into the blazing furnace below.
 Gay Girls of OIJ Carthage.
 The museum at Carthage is filled with treasures which have been found in the ruins. There are dice, razors spectacles, surgical instruments and thousands of clay lamps and casks of all kinds. As far
 as the Phoeniclans are concerned, 1t is, I doubt not, the greatest museum In the world; and in its relics of the Roman period 1t compares favorably with many others more famous. l was especially in- terested In the exhibits of Jewelry and other things which once belonged to the gay girls of the Carthage of 2500 years ago. There are a lock of hair which decorated the head of fair Punic maiden, a box of rouge with some of the paint still in the bottom, alabaster cases holding perfume and also pins, mirrors, trinkets and other gewgaws.
 There are golden necklaces of beautiful workmanship, and hundreds of gold rings of all sizes from one large enough for 2-year-old baby to some which may have been wedding rings for 12-year-old brides. Many of these rings are set with cameos
 and stones. There are gold earrings by
 the hundreds, and beautiful they are. As
 I looked at them asked the white father beside me about the maidens who wore
 them 25O0 years ago. mentioning the nor tality of all things earthly. hn reply he
 pointed to the shelves under the cases.
 I looked and saw skulls and bones in
 great quantities; men, women and chill
 dren were all mixed together. He then
 took me to a marble sarcophagus nearby,
 and showed me the bones of a young
 Punic beau who lived many centuries
 since I measured his skeleton and 1t
 was six feet two inches in length. On
 the finger of one hand there was a beauti-
 ful ring, evidencing the vanity of its
 owner. He may have been a friend of
 Hanno or Hannibal, or perhaps only some newly rich man of the time! Who knows?

Punic maidens when all the world was young.
 can't begin to describe the extent of the ruins By this I do not mean the remains of great temples and palaces, of theatres and tombs. These are compara- lively few; but there are vast tracts cov- cred with bits of pottery, pieces of broken marble, half ground up bricks and bits of mosaic. Such remains cover the ground. The sheep and goats feed among them and they are plowed and narrowed and pulverized by cultivation to fertilize the crops of the present.
 In the Theatres.
 My way to Carthage was over an excel lent road which runs around the bay The scenery Is beautiful and the flamin- goes ny over the water, showing their pink plumage as they probably did in the past. All along the roads we saw Arabs blowing their farms. Here and there was a little camp of Bedouins watching their Hocks, and when we left the road and drove across the plowed fields we passed through a flock of fat-tailed sheep and black goats driven by natives.
 Nearly all our way was over the ruins Of Carthage, and we were now in what was almost the heart of the ancient city. The ground was so covered with marble and pottery that we felt like getting out and looking for relics, and, indeed during the whole day my eyes have been moving about among the stones with the hope to ind treasure I have picked up many beautiful pieces of marble, 1 have clawed out bits of mosaic from the stone floors, and have had opportunity to purchase all sorts of coins and clap lamps, some of the time Of the Romans and some dating back to the days of the Phoenecians.
 We first visited the amphitheatre where the gladtatorial shows were held. It lies near an Arab village and, as J stood in it, l heard the shrieking of spanked baby filling the air which once resounded with the cries of the Christian martyrs The amphitheatre has been only partially ex- cavated. The cages for the wild beasts can be plainly seen an dthe great vaults below in which the martyrs waited The arena was elliptical in shape and its area Is more than an acre. I paced 1t from one end to the other, and according to my estimate 1t Is about 300x200 feet It con tains marble columns broken and bat tered. Some of the seats and few of the arches are still to be seen. This theatre was described by an Arab historian who was here about 800 years ago. He says that there were five gal leries and that the building was the most beautiful of Its kind ever known. Today l saw the sheep and goats feeding on the edge of what must have been at one time the second gallery, and donkey prayed while I paced the arena.
