We're married by Alderman Nathan

determined that no word Of the event
was to be made known for many
months
Some curious person looking over
the marriage records became inter
ested in the almost disguised name
Lawrence DOYLE" and just four days
had passed when everyone who had
ever heard Of the Polo Grounds knew
that Larry" Doyle had been married.

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 crumbled. 1t quarry Of building
materials for Practically Babylona was
left unexplored until the last quarter Of the nine
teenth century. Before that the work OF destruc-

modern towns and villages in thegvicinity carried
of or hoated down the Euphrates the last bricks
of the foundation of the Tower of Babel The
foundation $50 feet square, huge
bulky mass. Hillah, modern Arab town. four
miles south OF IT, was built with the bricks OF
the ancient city Thus persisted the pride d
Babylon.
The temple of Esagila, the most important
Rabylolian sanctuary brought to light was part
of the Tower of Babel Its ruins were uncovered
by the German archaeologsts after digging
hole forty feet deep that was as broad as the
mouth of a volcano. The two walls In the cen
