the great double gateway which opened upon the road
leading to Hierapolis nothing but the buttresses which
supported it on either side of the deep ravine which
formed the approach to the city may still indistinctly
be traced.
AS yet nothing has been done by the archaeologist
in the way of excavating Laodicea. This is surprising
when we take into consideration that of all the old cities
in Asia Minor none has been or could be excavated with
greater ease. The debris and earth which cover the city
could be easily carted away and dumped at the foot OF
the hills. Probably no ancient city would repay the eff
fort more than this one. AS at Ephesus, an excavation
would probably reveal various periods of architecture.
each built upon the other. Certain it is that the build
ings which now stand above the earth's surface are
more or less of late Greek or Roman origin. Certain it
is also that the Laodicea which was founded by Anti.
ochus II, some $50 years before Christ, was erected upon
the site of a much older city.

show that they belong to the best period of art. On the
roads approaching Adm there are many fountains, the
troughs of which have been followed out of the base of
columns from the temple of Esculapius.
At present there is a lime kiln in operation among
the ruins and many men are employed in digging up
columns of porphyry and slabs of marble with Greek
inscriptions, which are all being ground into lime for
building purposes. The Turkish governor of Adm in
formed me that he had made a futile attempt to stop
this work, but that it was being conducted by the mill
tary authorities, over which he had no Jurisdiction.
In blowing among the olive trees the peasants still
turn up innumerable coins, which they sell at trifing
prices. Many valuable pieces of statuary taken from
Tralles may also be seen in the houses of the better
class of people in Adm, but these are as nothing COM
pared to the number sent to various museums in Eu-
rope. And what Tralles has yet given to the world in
the way of art treasures is as nothing compared with
what still remains entombed, for the city itself lies be-
meath the earth.
Hierapolis is probably the most interesting spot in
Asia Minor. 1t has always been one of the most fasci
mating places in the Orient. AS the ancients were at
tracted toward it on account Of the matchless mineral
springs and aweinspiring Plutonium, so to-day the stray
traveller seeks it out in order to feast his eyes upon the
most perfect ruined city in the world. 1t is indeed a
marvellous city. To the student of history it is an object
lesson unparalleled elsewhere; to the philosopher it is
an inexhaustible mine of contemplation; to the ignorant
nomad who wanders in these parts it is an actual ex-
ample of the power Of magic; to the archaeologist it
means nothing, at least that which is visible to the eye,
for the reason that what he seeks lies beneath a calca-

and sarcophagus has been opened and ~plundered CEN
turtles ago, but it was done in such a manner that the
tombs were not destroyed and they may be inspected
to-day in exactly the same condition and place of repose
as they occupied nearly 1000 years ago. There were
two main entrances to the city.
The ruined city of Hierapolis may be reached from
Laodicea after about five hours horseback ride. In an
cient times a splendid roadway connected the two cities,
the only traces, however, now extant being the but
tresses of a bridge which once spanned the Lycus.
The cascades of the city are visible from a long dis
lance and as one approaches the more impressive they
become. At a distance of two miles they have the ap-
pearance of some huge cataract, not unlike that of Nj
agara, and if seen in April, when the grass is green upon
the slopes, the whole presents a wonderful picture
The now deserted city of Laodicea was situated in
ancient times upon the great Graeco-Roman highway
which led from Sardis, in Lydia, through the heart of
Asia Minor to the confines of Syria. This roadway, sup

Most OF these trees are more than 200 wears old. The
ruins extant above the surface of the earth. some stand.
ing erect in the shape of pillars and arches. some thickly
strewn among the trees, present a picturesque and
unique scene. In 1888 some excavations were made,
with good results. The ruins, however, have suffered
much at different times from earthquakes, and especially
on account of being used as building material for the
houses of Adm, and some of the finest columns have
been removed and set in the public buildings of that
town. Remains of the acropolis, stadium and theater
may still be seen. 1t was from the latter that Strabo
claimed that he could look across the plain of the Me-
ander and see the people sitting in the theater of Mag
nesia. On the edge of the plateau still stand three enor-
nous archways which are either a part of a Greek gym
nasium or Roman bath. The slabs of marble which or
namented these arches have long since been removed.
Generally speaking, Tralles would be an easy city
to excavate. There is no rock formation of a serious
character. The earth covers the ruins loosely and could
easily be removed. The olive orchard, with the roots
of the trees extending in every direction deep into the
ground, would form the greatest obstacle, not only
from the point of digging, but as an item of expense, for
the reason that these fruit trees would have to be pur-
chased outright from their owners before being de-
stroyed.
Tralles was one of the most important cities in Asia
Minor. It's position, half way between the ports of Ephe-
sus and Miletus, on the coast, and the interior cities of
the country, must have been favorable always to tran
sient commerce. 1t was renowned for the wealth of its
inhabitants. 1t was repeatedly destroyed by earthquakes
and fires and as often rebuilt, until about the thirteenth
century. when the last catastrophe left the city a mass

Asia Minor presents practically a boundless field for research na
exploration. There are remnants of Hittte monuments still extant winch
date from the earliset dawn of history. Among the ruined Greek cues
rise a stately structure of Roman origin, now slowly SINKING lu
decay. From distant hiltops medieval castles, some n a fair state OF
preservation, still look down upon the valleys below. The few travellers
who visit the interior of Asia Minor to-day are greeted by these grim
heritages of a great past There they stand, a it were, tn silent Gus
todians of treasures and secrets which lie buried deep beneath, mutey
appealing to the present age to bestir itself and rescue, before 1t Is TOT

During the past year l have visited the sites of many ancient cities
in Asia Minor. Many places described art rarely sought out by the

plateau which overlooks the fertile
plain Of the Meander river. At. the
foot of the hills stands the modern
town of Adm, the second place OF
Importance in the vilayet of Smyrna.
To-day this neighborhood is consid-
cred the garden spot of Asia Minor.
It is the center of the fig district and
the olives and wine produced are
much priced on account of their quail
fly. This is also the region in which
the best cotton in Asia Minor is
grown.
It is probable that this valley was
kept in a much higher state of cult
walton in ancient times. When the
city surrendered to Alexander the
Great the figs of Tralles were cele-
brated throughout the ancient world
and it is a well-known fact that at
that time the hills along the whole
extent of the Meander were covered
with forests which prevented, in a
measure, the destructive foundations
which characterize the river to-day.

Between the two of them they ex-

been lovers and. with the aversion that
lovers have for the Gathering of vii

had succeeded in keeping their attach

custom to meet at the home of a kind

alone knowing of their engagement.
On the night of the robbery they had
