Wheat prices advanced on a fairly ac.

one of the causes to break off activity
in the buying of the new crop, of which
nearly as much remains unsold as was
no change in prices, ten to eleven cents
being paid for what was bought, and
most of it secured at the former figure.
We have not had single report the
past week of sale above eleven cents
A lot of hail cut tobacco, and we had
plenty of that kind this season, has
been bought up at prices ranging from
three to six cents. We heard of some
that was only slightly cut bringing ten
cents, but that was an exception. Ev-
erything was tied up in bundles without
sorting, and went into one grade at one
price. 1t is rumored that the Pinker-
ton Tobacco Co. was the heaviest pur-
chaser of this class of goods.
Stripping is general and deliveries as
we'll, for the grower believes in turn
ing into cash his products with as little
delay as possible. The tobacco is
stripping out sound and good, and so
far no complaints have been heard.
Growers got down enough tobacco dur
ing the late damp spell to keep them
stripping for some time, and it is be-
lieved that no damage will now result
from piling it, and where cellar room
was not abundant great quantities were
put under fodder covering. On the
whole the trade appears satisfied with
the new crop and the growers who have
sold are satisfied that they have OBJ
tanned fair prices for their goods.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Dec. 81, 1912.
Echoes of the walls of rebellious to-
bacco growers, who have been locked
by buyers, are resounding from one end
of the Connecticut valley to the other
The storm center seems to be in Suf-
field, Windsor and other Connecticut
towns. Pole sweat is said to be the
defect over which the greatest differ
ence exists. One Sufield, Conn.,, grow
er was locked three cents pound last
week and after some demurring &C.
cepted the buyers terms. Some grow
ers who have been locked refuse to de-
liver their crops at the revised price.
1t is said that in two or three instances
buyers who had made deposit to bind
contracts have declined to accept the
tobacco, which means that they will
lose their deposit There are interest
ing possibilities in several cases in
which growers who hold deposits from
buyers refuse to be locked and will
neither deliver the tobacco nor return
the buyers money. Your correspon-
dent ventures the prediction that there
will be much less buying in the field in
1913 than there was last summer.

cate the site have lacked the evidence obtained
by DR.. Koldewey in his extensive researches.
Only the site is left. Time and and the
elements assailed the tower. For twenty CEN
turtles 1t crumbed. 1t quarry of building
materials for man. Practically Babylonia was
left unexplored until the last quarter of the nina-
teenth century. Before that the work OF destruc-
ton had been completed. In the last century
modern towns and villages In the vicinity carted
OF or foated down the Euphrates the last bricks
of the foundation of the Tower of Babel. The
foundation over 800 feet square. huge.
bulky mass Hillah, modern Arab town. four
miles south of 1t. built with the bricks OF
the ancient city. Thus persisted the pride 7f
Babylon.
The temple of Esagila. the most important
Babyloaian sanctuary brought to light, was part
of the Tower of Babel. Its ruins were uncovered
by the German archaeologists after digging
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, a quarter OF mile long which connected
the steep pyramid Of Etomenanki. known in the
Bible as 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. out
tunnels at the floor level have been bored into
the sides until the temple walls were properly
established and then the whole edifce was 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 brittle that one
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 was part of the long
street named after Daniel. who. no doubt him
self traversed its length many times. In the
ruins on 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 adorned with reliefs of
bulls, the holy animal Of Nebo. and dragons
the holy animal of the god Marduk 1t was
through this gate that the professional road Of
the god of Marduk led, and passing 1t and turn
ing to the right 1t led to Nebuchadnezzar's
throne hall
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 an enormous block Of granite brought
down the Euphrates a raft from Mesopotamia
1t shows a lion standing over prostrate man
The work is crude and probably is product Of
the very earliest art of Babylon. The sculptor
typihes the superiority Of the lions strength over
mans. Some cofiins of the middle class were
also found. They Of burned clay and like
bathtubs in shape. Some of them were very
short because of the custom OF the Assyrians and
Babylonans of burying their dead in a sitting

MUN|CH'S new ZOO
Animals Kept Under Conditions Of
Natural State.
Park Located In savarIa's Capital City
New Feature Of Gardens 10 the
Terrace Where Lions and
Tigers Roam.

Munich, Bavaria.-A noteworthy
geological garden has of late been
added to the many interesting sights
of Munich. the capital of Bavaria.
The animals will be kept as far as pos
sible under the conditions of their
natural state. This park will be q
practical combination Of technical
skill and artistic beauty.
To the south OF the city. where the
air is laden with the perfumes of the
great forests which cover the hills and
dales of the Bavarian Alps. and on
the banks Of the River Isar, which
rushes down foaming and roaring
from the mountains, in still solitude
may be found the most beautiful land
scape in the environs of Munich. Pine
trees. hundreds Of years old. together
with silver birches and knotty will
lows and poplars. form a forest. and
beyond farstretching green meadows
rises mighty mountain terrace. at
the foot of which are clear, bubbling
springs.
This charming spot was chosen for
the laying out Of geological garden
ten years ago. when its present direc-
tor, Lieut-Col. MANI, commenced the
preliminary work. A few years later
the we'll known architect. Prof. Eman-
uel Won Seidl, took over the artistic
and architectural part of the work.
The park has now been opened to the
public for the last two years, not,
however. without having found much
trouble and opposition.
Coming to an open space in the
woods herd of buffaloes is found.
Further along are stays from the
mountains of Asia and wild bears from
