DELVE IN MEGIDDO HILL.
AFchaeOIOgiSts Seeking New DiscOv-

ArchaeOlOgiSts Seeking New DiscOy-
cries In Palestine Realms.
Berlin, Jan. San important feature in
archaeological research work in PaIes-
tine is the excavation of the Jebe Mutes-
sellim-" Governors Hiu"-or as it was
known in the olden times. the Hill Of
Megiddo, in the Plains Of Esdraelon.
Prof. Hermann Thiersch reports in the
International Weekly Review of Science
and Art the progress of this work. the
cost Of which is betrayed by the German
Orient Society and the German Palestine
Society. while it also enjoys the special
patronage of Emperor William. Prof.
Thlersch describes the remains of walls
twenty-six feet thick found embedded in
the hillside. dating back to the times OF
Solomon and Jeroboam. A striking find
was that of a fine jasper seal bearing the
image of a lion and inscribed: "Shema.
servant OF JeTObOam."
MegiddO. as = stronghold commanding
the Syrian route, was of first importance
10 the Egyptian conquerors. In the an
mails of King Thothmes III it is stated
that the possession of Megiddo was
worth that Of a thousand at,ie. towns"
Nowhere In the Holy Land have more
sanguinary battles been fought, and the
final collision between the powers Of good
and evil is symbolically foreshadOwed in
the Apocalypse as to occur at Armaged-
don-the Hill Of Megiddo.
