THE NEW ARCHAEOLOGY.
Brilliant Discoveries Have Lately

From the London Spectator

Some seventeen years ago a distin-

and thereby not only pushed our KNOW

MUM further back, but materially altered
our views of the origin of the Egyptian
language and culture.
With such an example before us. no
one would be so rash as to say that no
more startling discoveries in MeSopota-
mia or Egypt can be expected. But II
may be conceded that archaeological re-
search in both countries has for the mo-
ment run into Il kind of backwater. and
that there is no indication that we are
on the eve of anything epoch making.
While this has been the case with the

HOW GREEKS REALLY LIVED.
Picture of Athens and Athenians as
They We're.
From the Chicago Post

From the Chicago POST.
It is very hard for most of us to
think of the ancient Greeks as any,
thing but rather elegant fellows who
enjoyed a balmy climate. few clothes
and went in with inexplicable en-
thusiasm for esthet.c matters.
A recent writer attributes much of
this conception to Winckelmann, who. in
turn, got it from studying too exclusively
the art life of the Greeks. This writer.
r. w. Livingston, in 1.-THE Greek Genius
and Its Meaning for U.s. puts in very
keenly:
THE Greeks, it appeared, were beyond
all things beauty lovers. They stripped
at their sports: they gave prizes for
beauty: Lais fascinated them; they spent
their days in games and festivals; they
studied to observe propriety both IN iea-
ture and action SO that even quick
walk was regarded as opposed to their
sense of decorun.
"Winckelmann had looked upon the
Tranquil beauty of Greek art UNI
til he was led almost to fancy that the
serene figures III the Parthcnon marbles
were portraits of the ordinary Greek. and
that the streets of Athens were full of
well drapcd. statuesque men, pacing re-
posefully through ali august life. rms

rome looked at Greece for many genera

reason. to those existing in Sardinia and
the Balearic Isles Ii would seem. there
fore, that even at this early date the
coasts of Syria were subject to the in
f1uences of European as We as Asiatic
culture, and that expeditions like tie
crusadeS were but repetitions of pht-

This view is much strengthened by
the results of Prof. Macal;ster's excava-
