Pan Cotto.

This is a frequent dish made by
the careful Italian housewife in order
to use up her stale bread. Every
morsel of bread is always put away
in drawer or large earthenware jar;
some is made into pan cotto; some
is fried for soup; and some grated
for stuffings. The recipe is simple:
Chop up bit of celery, some parsley,
and few funghi (mushrooms), and
fry in butter. When the onion is
Drowned and the vegetables cooked,
add two or three ripe tomatoes or two
spoonfuls of tomato sauce and some
veal soup or water, and then throw
in the bread, cut into slices, adding
a little cold soup or water, and bcil
for some ten minutes. When taken
off the fire and it is cool, beaten egg
and some grated Parmesan cheese are
mixed into what looks rather like a
child's pap.

vations about the dwellings of the middle classes.
While German research has definitely fixed the
location of the Tower of Babel, the origin of the
biblical story of the confusion of tongues has
not been found in Babylon. That it is world
myth is the conclusion of scholars. 1t is inter
estng to note that similar legend is found IN
Central America in connection with the pyramid
of Cholula, which also intended to reach
the heavens and which brought disaster to its
builders
But If this legend has not been verified by
search the discoveries which have rewarded the
labors of explorers and archaeoogists in Baby
lonia have been many and of the highest value.
Innumerable tablets have been collected which
when deciphered will throw light upon civiliza-
ton which born than six thousand
years ago The oldest temple in the world has
been unearthed at Bisya. Large square blocks
have been discovered which date back to the
reign of Sargon l., $500 years before Christ.
Even older is a platform built of the peculiar
convex bricks used in B. c. 4500 Inscriptions
bricks found in the temple at Bisya are
stamped with the name of Dungi, B. C. 2750
crumpled piece of gold bears the name of Param
Sim, b. G. $3.50. So much for the age of the
antiquities of Babylon. The best preserved edi-
flee of ancient Babylon thus far unearthed is
the gate of the goddess Ishtar, of which the ma
sonry remains well nigh perfect after two thou
sand years Of neglect
What is more interesting to the general
public, modern research is making the Baby
Much Is known of their daily life, their aims
and occupations, their religious ceremonies 1t is
possible to reconstruct something of the life of
the prophet Daniel in Babylon. 1t is possible TO
follow the course of a procession in honor of
the god Marduk through the gate of Ishtar to the
palace of Nebuchadnezzar. The sepultures of
the people and of the princes have been laid
Open
Everywhere on the walls of buildings to
be seen representations of the bull, which was
the sacred animal of Babylon
Though 1t is uncertain whether the ancient
Babylonians were more civilized than their
Egyptian contemporaries there is but little doubt
that they were the pioneers of civilization in
the whole of western Asia before Greece and
Rome came to the front. Four thousand years
b. G. their system of writing had already been
developed and applied also the Semitic Baby

warlike people the Babylonians possessed
more than what might have been described
at the time as worldwide empire They were
energetic intelligent polished in their way and
fond Of letters. Excellent sculptures and ell
cravings hard stone exist to testify to their
skill and artistic Instincts. Representations OF
musical instruments imply also that the art Of

Only the site is left Time and and the

ton had been completed In the last century
modern towns and villages in the vicinity carted
off or ioated down the Euphrates the last bricks
of the foundation of the Tower of Babel. The
foundation was over $50 feet square, a huge,
bulky Hillah modern Arab town. four
miles south of it, built with the bricks of
the ancient city, Thus perished the pride Of
Babylon
The temple of Esagla, the most important
Babyloian sanctuary brought to light part
of the Tower of Babel. Its ruins were uncovered
by the German archaeologists after digging a
hole forty feet deep that was as broad as the
mouth of a volcano. The two walls In the cen
ter of the picture mark the entrance to the pas
sage. quarter Of mile long, which connected
the steep pyramid of Etomenanki, known in the
Bible the Tower of Babel, with this temple.
Because of the depth of the debris caused by
the action of the centuries which have yelled
the earth here the entire foundation OF the
Tower of Babel has not yet been excavated. but
tunnels at the floor level have been bored into
the sides until the temple walls were properly
established and then the whole edfce meas
ured.
This is the Oldest and most momentous ruiu
on account of its connection with the Tower OF
Babel, and the bricks which represented
massive masonry are brittle that
can crush them between the fingers.
In the picture showing the ruins of Babylon
the man on the left stands upon the remains of
the brick pavement which part of the long
street named after Daniel, who doubt, him
self traversed its length many times. In the
ruins the right, in the hollow there is the
gate named after the goddess Ishtar. This is the
most prominent and best preserved ruin In
Babylon Its walls are adorned with reefs of

through this gate that the professional road Of
the god of Marduk led, and passing it and turn.
Ing to the right, 1t led on to Nebuchadnezzars

The excavations have brought to light many
curious specimens of the work of the ancient
people of Babylon. The largest piece of sculp-
ture yet unearthed is that of huge lion chis-
eled out of enormous block of granite brought
down the Euphrates raft from Mesopotamia.
1t shows a lion standing over a PROSTATE man.
The work is crude and probably is product Of
the very earliest art of Babylon. The sculptor
