HISTORIC FIND IN PALESTINE
chicaeoan Reports Discovery Of Floor
Of Church Dating From Third or
Fourth Century,

DR.. George l.. Robinson OF the Nc
Cormick Theological seminary, who
has returned to Chicago after a years
study OF ruins in Palestine, reports
the finding of an ancient mosaic hoor
one mile south of st. Nebo.
THE floor was discovered by an
Arabian farmer who dug into the
earth to build a foundation for a
barn." he said. The floor was In
one OF the early Christian churches
and was built in the third or fourth
century,
Flowers, animals and Greek In
scriptions are inlaid in most artistic
manner. The mosaic Is in a perfect
state of preservation and looks as
though II might have been laid yes
terday."
AS a result OF his studies Doctor
Robinson has come to the conclusion
that the true Kadesh OF Moses and
the Israelites is properly located at
Aim Kadees Doctor Robinson said he
believed that the Catholics were cor
rect in their contention that Zion is
located on the southwestern hill OF
Jerusalem and that Calvary is under
meath the church of the Holy Sep
lucher.

bowlder upon which she had been sit

Although from the man came low

Freed from her lettering excess OF

stepped surely from foothold to foot

stood for moment with one hand on
the dripping walls Of rock, looking
down while her hair fell about her

she shifted the doubled body into n
leaning posture. Strengthened the
limbs, and began exploring with efii-
cient fingers for broken bones.
She had found the left arm limp
above the wrist. and her fingers had
diagnosed a broken bone. But uncon.
sciousness must have come from the
blow on the head. where bruise was
already blackening, and a cash still
trlckled blood.
She lifted her skirt and tore a long
strip OF cotton from her single petit
coat. Then she picked her bare-footed
way swiftly to the creek bed. where
she drenched the cloth for bathing and
bandaging the wound. When she had
done what she could by way of first
aid she sat supporting the mans
shoulders and shook her head dubi-
ously.
Finally the mans lids fluttered and
his lips moved. Then he opened his
eyes.
"Hello!" said the stranger, vaguely.

his lips smiled. It was a friendly, un-

"Yes, OF course" The man suddenly
realized that although he was quite
comfortable as he was he could

MEASURING LIGHT OF STARS
With Improved instruments, Johns
Hopkins Professor Hopes to Sc
cure Most Important Results.

A recent number of lie Radium con
tains a paper by DR.. A. II. Pfund OF
Johns Hopkins university, in which
he describes some preliminary tests
he has made Of a new apparatus for
measuring the light of star. The
work was done at the Allegheny OBJ
servatory, the Keeler 30.inch reflector
being used. In the focus of the tele-
scope, either of two small blackened
disks, which formed the junction OF
a thermo-circuit, could be placed. The
wires used for the thermo-element
were alloys of bismuth and tin, and
OF antimony and bismuth respectively.
They were enclosed in an evacuated
capsule, closed at one end by plate
of fuorite and substituted for the eye
piece of the telescope. The thermo-
current was measured by moving
coil galvanometer. The sensitive
ness of the arrangement was such that
a candle at distance of so miles
would give a DETECTION of one mil
limeter. The reflections obtained
from celestial objects were Vega,
rs; Jupiter, 80; Affair, 30 MILNE
ters. The author hopes, by using a
more sensitive galvanometer and ma
terials for his thermo-elements, to in
crease the sensitiveness considerably,
and in this way to open up a new Held
of astro-physical research.
