the devastation of the city in 1874 A.
D., following the rebellion of Bar Coch-

It, When the empire eventually be-
came Christian, pilgrimages to the
Holy City increased. and in 333 the
Church OF the Holy Sepulchre was
founded, Justinian also distinguished
himself as a restorer; but in 614 Jeru-

637 1t came under the rule OF the Mo-

SEEMS NOT TO CURE CROOKS
There 10 No Proof That Surgical
Operations Can Change the
Moral Character.

An interesting after development in
a surgical case which attracted much
attention about four years ago has
Just occurred. says the Journal Of the
American Medical Association. pris-
oner serving long sentence in the
prison at Dannemora, N. Y. was par
doned by Governor White on represen-
tations which seemed to make 1t clear
that he had been cured of his crimi-
nal tendencies by surgical opera
ton. Following the operation the
prisoners character seemed to change.
From being sullen and morose he be-
came bright and cheerful, walked
with firmer step, held his head erect
and appeared to be a different man.
1t is not surprising that few months
after the operation the governor was
induced to set him free on parole. and
there seemed to be every reason to
hope that a useful citizen had been
restored to society in place of the
criminal that had been taken from
1t.
Unfortunately the arrest of the pa
rolled prisoner the first week Of jan
uary OF the present year. for series
of burglaries with regard to which the
evidence is complete, seems to make 1t
clear that the improvement was only
temporary, or that the operation and
his subsequent good conduct were
steps in scheme to obtain his re-
lease from prison. 1t Is of course
only what might be expected. There
is no trustworthy evidence to show
that changes in moral character, inde-
pendent of mental deterioration. result
from pressure on the brain. Sensa-
tional announcements of improvement
In such cases after surgical interven-
ton, like those that used to be made
after various surgical procedures in

the hostility of the Apaches. The dis
coverers Of the walled-up tunnel de-
cided this was 1t. and have found 1t
to be an exceedingly paying one.
A still richer fnd was that Of a
prospector on the Mexican side Of the
Rio Grande, near Fort Hancock. Tex.
An old dump" of worked rock had
been there so long that nobody knew
who had taken the rock out. Not
even a tradition was associated with
IT.. A prospector interested capital
lists. and the old workings were re-
opened.
On the face Of the hill being, clear

that they had to blow 1t down by

this wall they discovered tunnel
that few feet further on was closed
by a massive door Of hardwood logs
fastened by huge lock Of antique
Spanish workmanship. They broke in
and found that the tunnel ran about
400 feet to a breast of ore many times
richer than any found for many years.
A revolution or Indian rising had
probably caused the mine to be aban-
doned, and the workers with the char
acteristic subtlety of their time had
hidden the bonanza, leaving exposed
only the waste product on the surface.
