Relics From Hcrod,s Temnle.

Prof. David Gordon Lyon, Hollis
professor of divinity and curator Of
the Semitic Museum at Harvard Uni
versity, who has returned from an
archaeological expedition to Samaria,
reports the finding of specimens Of
Greek and Roman pottery in what is
supposed to be temple erected by
Herod the Great. The site where
the discoveries were made is near
the modern village of Sebastiyeh,
and is marked by a cluster of stand
Ing columns. The results of the
summer campaign are regarded as
gratifying. Ample provision has
been made by Jacob II. Schiff, of
New York who endowed Harvard
with the funds to carry the work on
for three or four years, for taking
up the work of excavation anew next
spring, about the end of April. at the
close of the rainy season in the Holy
Land. 1t is expected that Prof
George Reisner. of Harvard. in
whose name the permit for excava-
tion stands, will be In charge.-New

Division of Time.

Though the fundamental division
of time, the day, appears intuitive to
most persons, 1t 20 we'll to remember
that in the arctic regions the marking
Of this division is by no means easy.
During several successive months the
sun is either always below or always
above the horizon, and the only
method--a very uncertain one = of
distinguishing between day and night
Is to observe the times of high and
low tide. Division of time into
months comes from the motions of
:he moon. Malays, Polynesians and
Australian aborigines reckon time ex-
clusively by months and days.
That greater unit of time, the year,
characterized by the regular success
sion of the seasons, has presented the
greatest difficulties to exact determin-
alton, partly because the seasons are
not sharply distinguished in some re-
gions, partly because of the universal
desire to establish among the year.
month and day simple relations which
find no support in the facts of astron-
omy.
Inhabitants of Venus, If there are
any, must find 1t extremely difficult
to establish units of time. Venus al
ways turns the same face toward the
sun; so the planet has no day, and
the lack of moon deprives 1t of a
month. Finally, it has no year, for
Its axis of rotation is perpendicular
to the plane of its orbit, and the lat
ter is almost circular.-Chicago News.

THE WAR on TUBERCULOSIS.
Methods Used IN thc Campaign Of
Education in New York.

.
Were a war in the United States to
take of every year 10000 persons
we would be Mortified beyond meas
ure. Yet this is the estimate Of the
American loss from tuberculosis.
A feature of the State campaign
has been kind of tuberculosis revi-
val meeting, a mass meeting at which
the citizens are stimulated by speak
ers of experience and wide reputation
to an awakened social conscience.
Recently the New York committee
distributed among the Italian tene-
ment house population 10000 coll
ored pictures of a canal in Venice.
On the borders of the hanging picture
are printed simple instructions about
the care and prevention of the dis
ease.
Only five years ago the committee
on the prevention of tuberculosis of
the Charity Organization Society of
the city of New York was appointed.
What has this committee done?
The handbook and the directory of
organizations, sanatoria and hospitals
for the treatment of tuberculosis in
the United States not only have been
Of great assistance to pioneers in tu-
berculosis work. but have had a di-
rect influence in forming public opin-
ion and creating a general interest
In preventive measures all over the
country. The don't" card, which in
simple language gives suggestions re-
garding the prevention of tuberculo-
sis, has become standard form of
literature for general didactic use.
Its circulation has literally run up
into the millions.
Lectures on tuberculosis, mainly
stereopticon, given during the five
years under the auspices of the COM
mittee, have reached an audience of
some 10000 persons. The travelling
tuberculosis exhibition, containing
models, photographs, charts. etc. has
been shown in many places in New
York City to probably half a million
people.
In the summer of 1907 the COM
mittee resurrected for day camp pur-
poses an old city ferry boat. and
proved in one summer that at rela-
lively small cost increased weight,
good color and lasting appreciation
If fresh air and cleanliness can be
gained by consumptlve stay at

Especially important has been the
establishment of ten special tubercu-
losis clinics and the organization of
system of distinct dispensaries.

cation of effort and look toward the
ultimate dispensary control of tuber-
culosis.-Review of Reviews.

Madeleine, stambuloff said In his
memoirs:
@There was In Europe at one time
an association much more dreadful
than that OF the Thirteen celebrated
by BaIzac, for the secret of 1t was
never discovered. and 1t was com.
posed entirely OF two individuals, o
man and woman.
"Imagine two beings full of genius,
witty to the tips of their fingernails,
knowing everything, able to describe
everything. disabused from every
thing, believing in nothing. having
neither God nor soul nor conscience,
learning, speaking all languages,
young in spite of Methuselahs ex-
perience.
Suppose that, united by an In
comparable admiration. these two
beings should have given themselves
to each other unreservedly, and you
will comprehend what must have been
the ipvincible strength of these two
accomplices.
The Russians having got hold Of
Savine, made short work of sending
him to Siberia. He served a term at
hard labor at Tomsk and at its close
in 1894 was sent to Vladivostok as a
colonist. Thence he escaped into
Korea and took shin for San Fran
cisco, where he posed as n contractor
for the Trans-Slberian Railroad.
In 1895 he beat his way to Chicago,
and there he was soon arrested for
larceny. He wriggled out of that and
came to New York, where he was ar

sul-General made a statement in
which he denounced the "count" as
an imposter, and the count challenged
the Consul-General to a duel as soon
as he should be released.
He was acquitted in General Ses-
sions. The Consul-General laughed
at his challenge and in 1900 he was
again arrested in Chicago on charge
of circulating 100000 worth Of
fraudulent Cuban war bonds. His
wife was with him at the time. The
arrest was made at the request of the
Canadian police. He was taken to
Montreal and sentenced to five years

He was released on parole,

only $3S in his clothes when arrested.
His wife had returned to France
while he was In the Canadian peniten-

had enough of him and didn't apply
for his extradition, so he was re-
leased.
In 1903 he was arrested in Lisbon

Nicolas Erasmus Savine Is perhaps
the most notorious swindler now liv-
ing. He styles himself Count dc Tou-
louse-Lautrec because of marriage
which he says took place between his
father, a general In the Russian i'm
perial army, and a Countess of the
emigre house of Toulouse-Lautrec
He was born in Russia in 1855. Un-
der the name of Savine he held a
commission in the Russian Imperial
Guard. He was of an excellent fam
lily and had a considerable fortune.
At one time he seemed to be on the
road to high honors. He fought gall
lantly in the war of 1876 between
Russia and Turkey and received three
wounds at Plevna. After the war,
however, he fell into evil ways. He
became entangled in Nihilistic plots
and he took to gambling. Some
where about 1880 his entire fortune
was dissipated. and he was obliged to
resign from the army.
With the equipment of handsome
presence, an unusually complete edu-
cation and wide and influential ac-
quaintance, he started for Paris and
began his career as a swindler. His
apartments became the headquarters
for the most reckless gamblers of the
capital and Savine was successful in
plucking them. Soon afterward. he
worked his way into the secret diplo-
matte service of four Governments at
the same time, selling the military
secrets of the each to the other three.
About this time he married Mile.
Clemence Vervoort. This lady ap-
piled for a divorce from him in 1902
on the ground that he had deceived
her at the time of their marriage by
pretending to be the Count de Tou-
louse-Lautrec. The French courts
upheld the plea. and the French
scions of the old house of Toulouse
Lautrec Indignantly repudiated Sa-
vine. He. however, insists with an
earnestness that is not simulated that
he is the head of the Prussian branch
of the family, which was established
Driven from Paris at last, Savine
made his way to Bulgaria Just after
the deposition of Prince Alexander,
when Stambuloff was ruling the coun-
try as dictator With beautiful
and clever woman named Madeleine
he had been doing several cities of
Europe, including Monte Carlo, and
in 1886 he found himself with her In
Venice. According to his own story
of the events which followed, Savine
became friendly with Don Carlos, the
Spanish pretender, and the latter sug-
gested that Savine make try for the
Bulgarian throne.
With a retinue wardrobed through
the kindness of Don Carlos, Savine
and Madeleine started for Sofia, and
soon arrangements were made with
Stambuloff for the carrying out of
Savlne's desires. The "count" then
went to Constantinople to secure the
approval of the Sultan and while
there was arrested at the request of
