Jebuzite Remains.

Reuters Agency has received further
details OF the discoveries made in Jeru-
salem by the British expedition which
has been working there for two seasons.
Archaeological experts in jerusalem con-
slider them TO be the most important ever
made. During the whole period OF the
operations Mount Ophel has been the
objective, this being regarded as The site
of the ancient Zion. The object OF the
excavations was to discover the burial
places ofDavId and Solomon. The scene
of the operations is situated south OF the
city walls, and lies between the Kedron
Valley, which is on the east, and the
TYropaean Valley, which is on the west.
Last seasons work, which commenced
in August and terminated at Easter, has
results of the most valuable character.
Its chief purpose was to penetrate further
the Hill of Ophel from the point where
excavations had been stopped the pre-
yiouS season. Before tunnels had been
driven very far under the hill the expedi-
ton discovered a number OF natural caves
situated at a slightly higher level than
the tunnel itself, and after a quantity OF
debris had been removed, human bodies
were found lying on natural shelves OF
rock. These were clearly remains OF
JebuziteS who had been buried before
Jerusalem was taken dy King David, and
were probably OF the date OF 1900 B. c.
There were indications that the bodies
had merely been laid on their rock slabs
without any covering except few stones.
This was probably one OF the earliest
forms OF burial discovered. In an ad-
joining cavern the eXcayatorS found
Jebuzite pottery OF the same period,
which gave evidence of very high state
of civilization, quite equal TO that Of the
IsraeliteS of perhaps 1000 years later.
AT lower level the diggerS came across
rock-cut chambers, with regular inches,
evidently intended for the reception OF
corpses. Investigation showed that these
houses of the dead had, at later period,
been used by the Israelites as dwelling
places, marks of fires and quantities of
charcoal being found. Some Israelitish
lamps were also found in the inches.
These discoveries should prove OF the
highest scientific interest, as, although
there has been long and diligent search,
these are the first Jebuzite remains ever
found in the Holy City.
II is proposed to resume the work on
August next at the point where ii was
LETT at Easter.

Dramatic Criticism.

The small boy stood in front OF the
dazzling lights OF the cheap theater will,
a yellow dog under his arm. Evidently
he wanted TO get in, and the sight OF a
well-dressed and apparently prosperous
man on the steps gave him an idea. The
Detroit News-Trbune is responsible for
the story.

guessed correctly, and the lad continued

The managers heart melted. He re-
membered that he, too, had been boy.
"You may 90 in, he said, "but never
mind about giving me the dog. Take the
dog along with you"
The lad went in with the yellow dog
under his coat. After the performance
the manager was still standing in front,
and happened 10 see the urchin come out.
"Well, sonny" he remarked, "how
did you like the show ?"
"Oh, pretty well" he said, "but I'm
glad didn't have to give you the dog"

excitedly, "Oh, Frank, come down. quick!
The gas is escaping in The parlor."
Every light had been turned out, and

and then shook his head obviously.
"What are you looking at, son2" ask

"Where's the doors and windows2'

Creek Indians, in the vicinity OF We
tumka, Oklahoma, are resorting to ancient
tribal customs in an attempt 10 obtain
rainfall. One Of their customs, which has
been widely followed in the last week, is
TO stake mud turtles on the edge OF a
stream just far enough away from the wa
ter so that they cannot reach il. II is the
Indians belief that the turtles, despairing
in their attempts TO reach the water, in
woke the aid of the "Great Spirit" TO send
rain so that the stream will be raised and
brought near them. Since the turtles
were first staked out several rains have
fallen. The Indians believe their prayers
are being answered and they are fasten-
ing up more turtles to pray for agreater
rainfall.

ROAD COMMISSIONS WORK

Col. Richardson states that the com mission has applications for the con struction of needed bridges and roads which would cost about $1,6OO,OOO and that nearly all of these are necessary for the proper development of the min eral and agricultural lands of the coun- try.
 During the past season the commis- sion has had $150,00O to expend. Much of this was used in improving the Val dez-Fairbanks trail, with some little at tention to the Chitina- Willow creek cutoff. A few bridges were built and the trail graded and drained for many miles. From other information re- ceived from Col. Richardson it may be stated that most of the appropriation of $50,000 for the Seward -Iditarod trail was expended, and that trail is now in fairly good condition for win ter travel
 It has been reported to the com mission that a bridge less than 300 feet would span the treacherous Nizi- na river nea~ the lower canyon. Upon that assumption a sum of $S000 was set aside to do the construction this winter. However, this summer Lieut.. Edgerton made an inspection of the river and estimated that 700 feet of bridging would be necessary at a cost of $21 ,O0O. And from the information received as to the changing channels he was uncertain just where construc tion should be done. As the increased cost will make it unlikely for work to be done this winter it is probable that the commission will observe the break ing up of the ice in the spring and then decide definitely as to the parti- cular place to begin work on the bridge which will be done next winter.
 Tn Southeastern Alaska a trail was constructed this past summer up the shores of Gastineau channel to connect with the trail which leads to Eagle river. This work will be completed next year. The past season has been favorable for the. road commission. With little rain the work was pushed at . rapid rate although the overAowing
