 for several months, and their report
 thereon is expected to throw some
 fight on the causes and cure of this disease, which has been prevalent in America at different times A medical man said Jhat it was thought that the outbreak was one Of cerebro-spinal meningitis or spotted fever. which has caused many deaths throughout Eng land.

Reece. who has been carving On tho investigation will establish q close rc, lationship, if not the idendty. of spot ted fever and infaHtiie paralysis Since the epidemic in New York in 1908, it has been suspected that the cases of infantiie paralysis in thls country have been caused by a germ. and the medical men say the epidem- ic in Cornwall and Devon has proven inc germ-origin theory.
 
 Under the leadership of Captain Parker. an archaeological expedition has left here for Jerusalem to con 'Snue the work of the past two years on the site of the ancient Zion with the view of discovering the burial places of David and Solomon.
 Captain Parker. 3 brother Of the Earl Morley, was in command of the expedition in which the Duchess Of was said to be interested and which got into disfavor recently with the Turkish government and Goslem authorities who accused the eNcaYators of desecrating the sacred mosque of Omar The seSS=>nd in command is Clarence Wilson. and the party was completed by the addition Of a number or English laborers.
 The expedition sailed on Wilson's yacht tc Jafia, from which port it will travel to Jerusalem. On arrival there the eXcavators will resume wor. in the underground passages on Mount Ophel.

 None of the cities which has enter tained the athletes of the world com peting in the Olympic games has gone about the preparations for the event. with more pride and enthusiasm than Stockholm in its arrangements for the international meeting of 1912. The Stadium. which is in course of cree :ion, and will be completed this year. will be a most imposing permanent structure, far more pretentious and costly than the plain enclosure bear ing that name, which was the scene of the last games iE London. It's site IS in the most fashionable cIarter On the Swedish capital The government is defrsying the whole expense, and will become owner of inc building and grounds.
 Purple brick and granite are the materials which the architect, Tor ben GTut. is employing for the struc- ture. The architects plan shows perfect amphitheatre, entirely roofed over and situated at the foot of a hin which forms the northern side of the building. There will be running track Of four laps to the mile. and a grass foot ball and athletic field which can be transformed in winter into a skating rink. Most of the seats for the Olympic games will be temporary, and altogether 25.000 spec. tators can be accommodated.
 In its architecture the great build. ing will be a fine example of me diaeval Swedish art. The gates and arcades are vaulted. blocks of granite are inlaid on the brick walls with . series of sculptuTed Swedish heroes, and eighteen gods and goddesses will ! decorate the gates tO the entrance
