The excavators have found that the

tori pre-Assyrian. lay by the Eu-
pirates bank on a rocky knoll which
is the basis of the actual Acropolis.
Its inhabitants had hardly got beyond
the neolithic use of Clipped flints and
flakes Of clear obsidian from inner
Asia and of handmade pottery which

But they were beginning to know
bronze implements and to paint their
vases when the Cappadocian Hittites
came down upon them. These built

settlement, raising the mound some

AZ soon as Hittite history and an
tQuities began to attract attention,
scholars discussed the probable site
OF Carchemish. 1t was evidently on
the west bank of the Euphrates, not
SO very far from Aleppo, but south Of
Taurus. A large riverside site had
been known a: a place called Jerablus
ever since the end Of the seventeenth
century; and when Hittite remains
were reported there in the early '70s
the British Museum organized a ten
tative exploration of its great mounds.
This exploration was not very salts
factorily carried out, but 1t yielded re-
suits which went far to confirm the
Identification of the place with the
long-lost Carchemish, and enriched

best Hittite reliefs and inscriptions

the early spring Of this year. I stayed
six weeks on the site, and then hand
ed over the direction to Mr.. Campbell
Thompson. Digging has thus been
going ON at Jerablus for some four
months. and already we know a great
deal more about the southern capital
of the Hittites than has been known

SNOW AND RAIN FERTILIZERS
Experiments Conducted at Ottawa
Canada, Shows Some Ground for
Theory Among Farmers.

Snow, snow, beautiful snow, filling
the sky and the earth below" and fer
tilizing as 1t falls. From experiments
conducted at Ottawa, Canada, 1t ap-
pears that there are some slight
grounds for the widely accepted opin-
lon among agriculturists that snow Is
a direct fertilizer. 1t is found to con-
tain nitrogen equivalent In round num-
bers to about pound per acre of land
covered by an average winter snow
fall in that district. The amount OF
nitrogen as free ammonia was high,
but fluctuated greatly, from .0S2 to
.5S9 parts per million; the nitrogen as
albuminoid ammonia ranging from 1873
to .O7S parts per million, and the nitro
gen as nitrites and nitrates ranged
from .027 to 800 parts per million.
The average of IL determinations
from February 81, 1907, to May was:
Nitrogen as free ammonia, .256; as al
buminoid ammonia, .052, and as
nitrates and nitrites, 1853 part per mil
lion. 1t is intended to continue the ex-
periments, both in summer and winter
to determine definitely the fertilizing
value OF both snow and rain.

Our Voices.

I think our conversational soprano,

arising from a group of young persons
who have taken the train at one Of
our great industrial centers, for in
stance, young persons Of the female
sex, we will say, who have hustled in
full dressed. engaged in loud. strident
speech, and who, after free discussion,
have fixed on two or more double
seats, which having secured, they pro
coed to eat apples and hand round
daguerreotypes-I say, 1 think the
conversational soprano, heard under
these circumstances, would not be

would put in requisition were he get
