Italy's Buried Treasures.
ON the London Chronicle.


All the world will join in applauding the
resolution of Italy to disinter what treas
ures may yet remain buried under the de-
bris of the age-long forgotten cities of Ostia
and Paestum. Both cities were unkindly
dealt with by Providence. The glory of
Ostia, chief port of ancient Rome. receiving
the corn and oil Of Sicily. Sardinia and
Africa. was slowly but surely betrayed by
Father Tiber and flung contemptuously out
of reach Of the shallowest ships Time,
curiously enough. has. however, failed to
rob her of her industry which first made
her famous. and salt Is still produced In
small quantities from the little village of
one hundred inhabitants that has stolen the
old city's name and pays the ruins homage
from the modest distance of two miles.
Paestum is more Greek than Roman and
one may anticipate that Ii another Temple
of Neptune or Temple of Ceres lies beneath
the heaped-up dust of the centuries 1t will
be Athens and not Rome that will be raised
from the dead. Paestums fate Is sadder
than that of Ostia, for the Greek colony on
Roman soil was early smltten by malaria
and an evil reputation caused Der to be
buried in a deeper oblivion than the wave
washed columns of Ostia.

who survived a ruined world the man who
made the choice of worldly goods with sin
the man who sought peace with neighbors;
the man who sought good by evil methods;
the drunken priests and prophets. Cull OUT
OF all the passages the sins to be Stunned

that all this is a portraiture Of humanity

Questions Answered.
Any person may send any biblical aues-
ton to DR.. Gilbert, 1903 r street north
west, and receive answer in The Star.
234 What are the abstract and eternal
principles of Righteousness which are not
well understood except by a few as stated
by you in your answer to question 232?
Answer. Righteousness or rightness is
conformity to standard of excellence.
That standard may be concrete as in the
conduct Of men. or abstract as in the max
inns current among men. In either Of these
cases the standard and hence the right
eousness varies with the changes in the &C
lions and opinions of men, so that what is
deemed to be right at one time may be
condemned as wrong at another time.
There Is q higher righteousness. an I'M
varying conformity to the unalterable order
and relations of things. That standard
may be stated In the abstract in the form
of principles and is discovered only by the
few who seek to learn the fundamentals Of
things. 1t Is pity that SO many live on
the lower plane of popular approval gov
erning their lives by what others do and
think. The highest pursuit of any man is
to learn what his life should be because of
the eternal principles pertaining to life.
235. What is the meaning of the ex-
preston in Isaiah xxviii:1 whose glorious
beauty is fading f1ower?"
Answer The valley of Ephraim was far
famed for its fertility and beauty. The
inhabitants boasted that they lived in a
country SURPRISING others in SOIL climate
and scenery. This was the glorious beauty
of which the prophet wrote. But the
wealthy and influential. those especially in
governmental circles. lived luxuriously and
were drunken and depraved. On this ac-
count it was declared that all the glory of
the land should disappear. even a with
ering or fading flower. God would punish
the people for their sins by bringing an
invading army who would break down and
destroy the cities and vineyards. See
verses 8 and 4.

The Land Wealth of New York City.

From Moody's Magazine.
Few people realize the tremendous land
wealth of New York city today. The total
land valuations OF the city by its recent
census reached the enormous figure of
S. SO 600. 900: this is an Increase Of s+0o.-
900, 900 in 1907 over 1906 and 1905. In turn.
showed an increase Of $3.50. 100000 over 1905.
Within a decade the increase has been con-
siderably over 100 per cent. New York
real estate Is today valued at more than
one-twentieth of the entire wealth of the
United States. 1t is greater than the en-
tire wealth of many states and even of
many foreign countries. 1t is % per cent
more than the entire wealth OF Holland.
Spain, Sweden and Norway; 30 per cent
more than Switzerland, Denmark or Por-'
tugal: It Is one-third that of Italy. one
fourth that of Austria Hungary. one-fifth
that of Russia, 'one-seveDth that of Ger
many, one-eighth that of France. one
tenth that of Great Britain and Ireland.
1t Is indeed an imperial city in an empire
state.

The revenue marine service is to have an

has had series of five large pictures paint

possible happenings. A draughtsman at
the navy yard was given the commission
and the result Is series of chromo-like
productions. faithful in detail, reasonably
skilfull. but absolutely inartistic As Illus
trations intended for a special purpose they
might not be out Of place, but they have
been deliberately framed and wiu II is I'M
derstood, be given prominent place In one
of the departments at the close OF the expo
SIT .on. This places them within the cate
CORY of the fine arts. where distinctly they
do not belong. and makes them more mis-
leading than enlightening to the general
public. Better no art than poor art-bet-
ter decidedly. good photographs than poor
paintings.
There are two collections of good photo
graphs now on exhibition in the assembly
hall of the Cosmos Club. One of western
and Alaskan scenery by Mr. Mode Wineman
and the other of Indians by Mr.. Karl Moon.
The former is the larger and treats broadly
of a wide territory which includes many in

Wineman and Mr. Moon seem In q measure
to have accomplished.
Few are aware of the excellent art work
that is being done at the present time in
the local public schools. From the first
grade to the last year in the High School
a little time each week is given to work
which develops the students taste and
heightens his or her own sense of beauty,
and with an exceedingly short time allow
ance surprisingly good. practical results are
being attained-tangible ones which the
English visiting teachers have carried back
with them to England as samples, and in
tangible ones which in generation or two
