enough peers now settled in the Do

Seek a New Market.
Efforts are being made to find an
SiVe cottOngrOWing section in Asia
Minor. Trial shipments have been
made to Liverpool and it is said that
a considerable development in this
trade may be expected soon.
The efforts Of the growers are con-
centrated in the Adana district. 1t is
a fertile coast plain and is said to
produce hiShclass cotton, the raising
OF which has been given great stimulus
lately by the introduction of modern
methods and machinery. The Egyp-

Ancient City Of MerOe.
Archaeological are flOcking to see
the exhibits from the city of Meroe,
the ancient capital Of the kings OF
Ethiopia, now on view at Burlington
house The arduOus work of the ex-
petitions dispatched during the last
three seasons by the university of Liv-
erpOol under Prof Garstang has result
ed in almost undreamt discoveries.
The great Sun temple described by
with the huge altar, the So
called Table of the SUM- has been
and in one of the palaces
a magnificent head Of Augustus was
found. This year the most important
discovery consisted of the royal baths,
a well planned block of large buildings.
These show that in the third century
B. c. the influence of Egypt on Ethi-
Opia had begun to wane, as the royal
baths are a close copy of Graeco-Ro-
man baths. The greater part of the
exhibit at Burlington house comes
from the baths.
