Prince Kropotkln's Escape From Pris-
en Hospital One Of the Most Daring
Recorded in History.

In originality Of conception and In
EenuIty Of execution, the escape OF
Prince Kropotkin from the prison Of
the NIkolaievsk Military hospital in
st. Petersburg in 1915 is probably un-
paralleled in prison annals. Twelve
conspirat0rs outside the prison took
mart in it, but not one Of them was
ever arrested OF suspected, although
many OF them We're subsequently, ban

That which we call the Royal City
is a four-sided enclosure, 1000 feet
by 500, surrounded by a stone wall.
about fifteen feet In thickness, built
of splendid ashlar The height of this
wall must have been originally, we
may suppose, thirty or forty feet: at
one point it is still preserved to half
that height. There are two main en-
frances in the middle of the eastern
walls, which are its longest sides; and
two posterns. one to the north and
one to the south. In the southern part
of the enclosure are the regal palaces,
built, like the walls Of this citadel. in
the age of the Ethiopian King Aspelut,
or Just before in the seventh or eight
century B. c.
Naturally. we have not yet been
able to penetrate to the bottom all
over this area, for many later build
ings nearer the surface must be ex-
amined Hrst The original plan of the
whole city is thus not yet clear; but
several of the earliest buildings have
already been examined in the north
ern portion: amongst these are sever
al columned halls It was under the
threshold Of one of these that, last
year, we found the Bronze Head of
Augustus, which had seemingly been
carefully buried out of sight. In one
of the Royal Palaces we also had the
good fortune last year to be able to To-
cate the ancient treasury. and though
this had been completely ransacked
and its walls destroyed, two pots, full
Of gold. and containing what was more
important for us, inscribed jewels
we're found hidden under the founda-
ton of neighboring walls. BY the
side of this palace, the past seasons
excavations have brought to light the
Royal Baths, decorated with colon
nades, Sfrescoes, glazed tiles, and re-
markable statues based on classical
models, as will be seen from the ac-
companying photographs. Outside the
city wall, to the east, is the great
Temple Of Ammon, the axis OF which,
from door to altar, is about 430 feet
I'm length. The central avenue, with
its columned halls and sanctuaries,
has now been excavated, so that you
may walk along its original pave
ments. see where animals we're sacri-
fced, where the great swinging door
closed off the sanctuaries from the
public hall, and finally, reach the high
altar, which remains in its original
position. 1t is of black stone, deco
rated with carvings in relief; and at
the foot of it, during our excavations.
we found actually the last votive Of
fering which had been placed upon 1t.
Passing then, still eastward.
