F. {. McGurrin Returns.

F. E. McGurrin returned Monday
from two weeks visit through the
northwest with Mrs. McGurrin. Mr..
McGurrin reported having had a de-
hghtful time on the trip. They visited
chiefly in Seattle and Vancouver. He
said the country there was alive, but
the banks there had felt the force of
the panic severely, but stood the shock
well and were now in good condition.
Real estate, he said, is held at the ton
notch and is far higher than in Salt
Lake. He said he had heard some pro-
test on the heat in Salt Lake, but that
1T was much hotter on the coast.

recumbent marble figure Of Atys ana set
Of written records referring to the worship
Of the goddess we're discovered. Other
finds Of great importance consisted OF
Mithraic sanctuary, the house OF the
Egriii, the Imperial palace and many in
Uerestilg inscriptions.
But the excavations were never carried
on on a scientific basis, and very often they
were interrupted and the places unearthed
we're allowed TO fall again into ruin. Seven
years ago an eminent Italian archRologist
submitted a memorial 10 the Government
in which he affirmed that 5000 bronze tab
let's constituting the records Of Rome from
its foundation TO the time Of Vespasian were
buried in the marsh Of 0stia, having been
carried there after being rescued from the
FIRE which devoured Rome in the year 90
Of the Christian era. He proposed TO drain
the marsh in order TO recover this invalu-
able historic treasure. Although q COM
mission was appointed to investigate the
matter, a few years later the project was
entirely forgotten and 1t has been left in
allegiance
The main or entrance street Of the ancient

The excavations OF 0stia are compare
lively recent, as after the failure Of the
attempt to revive it by Gregory ". the
Popes considered 1t lost town and left it
to its fate This being the case, Prof.
vaglier's researches may be expected to
disclose much valuable material.
His first find was made in the so-called
Via della Fontana. There a large room
probably belonging to a villa has been dis
covered It's walls are decorated with
paintings, while the floor is covered in black
and whitemosaics.
The frescoes, as seen in the two photo
graphs kindly furnished by Prof. Vagliert,
are in the architeotonio style, with hguies
painted in each square. and they are In a
very good state OF preservation owing to
the fact that they were found covered
by a layer Of clay which had evidently
protected them for centuries. Several
fragments Of the ceiling painted In similar
style we're found and these can be reunited
and replaced with very little difficulty.
A corridor leading to the room has also
been opened, and very likely this was
lighted by a window which was covered
by substance resembling mica and used
instead Of glass, Several pieces OF mica
we're found just under the window.
Among the rubbish which filed the
room the explorers found several ancient
coins. few amphorn. one havinga painted
inscription showing that il was used 70
hold olives, the bottom OF a broken vase
with traces OF salt fish in it, pieces Of glass
with gold letters, lamps and broken pieces
Of furniture.
The excavation has only just begun, and
the Minister Of Public Instruction, who
recently visited the ground, furnished the
means for it's continuation on a more ex-
tensive scale. It is hoped that several
Roman buildings will be brought to light
shortly.

TO Lose the Race.
There are many more good distance
runners now than in my days said an
old time champion after Watching the
three mile scratch race at the New York
Athletic Club games in Madison Square
Garden "But the habits OF the runners
have not changed any. for noticed one
little trick in the race that bore the signii-
cance that used to attach to II.
Ito the casual onlooker there was moth
ing to choose between the two leaders
when they were beginning the last quarter
ofamils, Right from the crack Of the pistol
they were running almost stride for stride
with the low. graceful, easy action OF the
real long distance runner.
Neither had called into use the reserve
power which must be utilized in the final
sprint for victory when they turned into
the stretch for the final lap. Then one Of
them slightly turned his head 10 zee where
the third man was.
''Thst man 10 beaten, was tho thought
which occurred 10 me at once, and il proved
true, as always, for when the dash for the
finish began he allowed his rival to get
a lead Of i've yards before going after him
in earnest pursuit.
"From that point to the finish there was
no perceptible difference in the speed Of the
men, but the man who haditurned bis head
TO make sure that he would get second
place, instead Of bending every energy TO
win, Of course landed where his thoughts
placed him.

built over six hundred years before Christ
at the mouth OF the Tber, about sixteen
miles from Rome, seaport called 0stia,
and secured the trade Of the river as well
a. that Of the adjacent salt pits At first
Roman colony. 0stia became in the course
OF time an important and dourishing town.
Itwas destroyed in the civil wars by Marius,
but was rebuilt with new splendor
Claudius constructed a new and better
hArbor on the right arm Of the Tiber--the
old one was situated on the left arm-which
j Trajan enlarged and improved. and the
port Of Rome became one Of the greatest
works OF tho Romans Artificial moe5,
forming a narrow entrance advanced far
into the sea and firmly repelled the fury
Of the waves, while three deep and capacious
basins rooeive5 the northern branch OF
the Tiber and afforded a safe anchorage
for the vessels laden with the corn Of Africa,
which was deposited in spacious granaries
for the use Of the capital.
The old town and port Of Ostia, whose
harbor had already been pGrtly filled with
sand, gradually sank into insign,nc clrCe
and continued to exist only through its
salt works, but the new harbor called
Portus August, rose to great importance.
II was described as a place where the spirit
enjoyed repose and the body recovered
its normal health
In the tenth century the port Of Trajan
was allowed to Ill up with the sand and
mud which the Tiber, at the rate Of over
100000 tons year, carries down to the
sra. As Pope Gregory ~. had built a
fortress at Osth in the preceding century
and attempted to revive the ancient town
and port. which after him was called
Gregoriopolis a passing Importance was
given to medieval ostia which wes nothing
but a fortified hamlet; but its few inhab-
itants soon fell a prey to, malaria, the sand

swamps and the port was left at distance

Paul v cleared out the port OF Trajan
and connected it with Fiumioino in 1872
and it has remained ever since the only

buried cities OF Italy.

The debris Of Nero's great fire was carted
thither and thrown over the ruins Of the
old town, which had already begun to pale
before the prosperity Of POrms.
In the Middle Ages 0stia became marble
quarry The cathedral Of Pisa is built
mostly from marbles taken from Ostia,
and some OF them actually bear still the
mark Of their origin. This is also true Of
the cathedral Of Orvieto. The cOrnice OF
the temple Of Vulcan was broken and
burned into lime as late as 1915
Ostia marbles were used in the building
OF the Loggia Of the Beuedicton at st.
Peters and in many other churches Of
Rome. And yet such was the vastness and
richness Of the ancient town that despite
continued spoliations, wholesale destruc-
tions and the ravsges Of barbarian inva.
sions many Of its streets, houses and public
buildings although in ruins, still exist.
The excavations undertaken at Ostia
in the past have yielded a riCh aroheo-
logical harvest. When the sacred field Of
Cybele, the mother Of the gods. where in a
triangular space about one acre in extent
the temple OF the goddess surrounded by a
colonnade is still TO be seen, was excavated
