White House Blooms

From the New York American.
Washington.-To provide the White
House with cut flowers daily and the
grounds surrounding 1t with shrubs and
blooming plants I'm season the United
States pays out every year $4,000. No
other appropriation forthe needs of the
executive mansion is expected to prove
as interesting to the present First
Lady of the Land" for Mrs. Wilson is
lover of howers-even more so, il
report be true. than the wife of any
President in recent administrations.
From the Roosevelt regime Mrs. Will
son will inherit as did Mrs. Taft, i'm
proved facilities for supplying the
White House with flowers for state oc-
casions and daily use. Originally the
White House Conservatives were To-
Gated on the west terrace. In 1902.
while former President Roosevelt was
In office they were removed to the site
south of the Washington monument,
where they now form part of the
prOpagating gardens.
In all. 16 greenhouses are maintained
In the propagating gardens for the ex-
elusive needs of the executive mansion
and grounds Congress appropriates
annually $1,000 for their maintenance
and $4,000 for repairs.
No new flower gardens have been laid
out in the executive mansion grounds
during the administration of President
Taft. and 1t Is not likely that any will
be added while the Wilson's are occu-
pants of the White House, for expert
landscape gardeners have declared that
the present arrangement cannot be I'M
proved upon.
But the next four years may witness
the installation of facilities for increas-
ing the productivity of the propogating
station which supplies the nations man
sion with flowers.

Exploration of Ancient Tombs

FROM the Phlladelpnia Public Ledger.
At Paestum the excavations have
brought to light archaic terra Gotta
decorations from the oldest temple
the so-called Basilica-and 1t now ap-
pears that this and not the best pres
served and finest one of them all, must
be called the temple of Poseidon, the,
protecting deity of the town. The mair.
street has been cleared for over 100
yards and remains of buildings of the
imperial period have been found alons-
Its course, including an angle of the
Forum, Here we may hope that fur
ther Investigations Will continue To-
provide interesting results.
The official accounts are now avail-
able OF excavations carried on by Pro-
fessor Orsl in Salabra in 1910. At
Locri Epizephrl metropolis was ex-
pored. In which, owing to the absence
OF suitable stone for sarcophagi, large
tiles were used for the burial of the
bodies. over $50 tombs were found,
placed extremely close together and
extending over three centuries, from
about $50 b. c. to about ESQ b. C. 1t
was not rich. and no vases of special
rote were discovered but a number of
fine bronze mirror handles were found
in several of which the form has been
borrowed from Ionic architectural mo-
tives.
u,
with numerous fragments of its terra
Gotta decorations. belonging apparently
to the second quarter of the fifth CEN
tury h. c.. and a small sanctuary OF
Athena was also excavated. The fa-
mo us Temple of Hera on the Lacinian
promontory near Croton. was also ex-
plored. The wall of enclosure of the
perbolos was found with a fortifie
entrance to 1t from the great road
which led TO the temple from Croton.
belonging apparently to the period of
the Roman republic. OF the temple it
self very little is left, except the one
column which still stands close to the
shore and is in danger of being de-
stroyed by the waves. Architectural
and decorative fragments of marble
and terra Gotta were dug up. Remains
Of thermal establishment of the Ro-
man period, with a fine mosaic pave
ment. were found nearby
The exploration of prehistoric ceme-
teries In various parts of Italy still
continues. and the wealth of material
of this nature is continually on the
increase A large cremation cemetery
OF the bronze age, apparently. has re-
Gently been found in the central Ap-
pcanines within the ancient Picenum.
Excavations have also been carried OH
DIT various cemeteries in Etruria, not
AMY near Leprignano. close to the site
Of the ancient Capena. where important
dis coveries had already been made in
the past years, while Professor Tara
mell has prepared long report on
the discovery of an important Phoe-
nielan metropolis at Cagliari. in Sar-
dn;a
The past year has thus been one OF
considerable activity and the fact that
work will be continued on many of the
sites mentioned augurs we'll for the fu-
ture. A number of casual discoveries
We're made In Tripolitania and Cyre-
nacla during the war, and now that
these territories have become Italian
colonies we may expect that their arch
at illogical exploration will be carried
on more thoroughly and methodically
than has hitherto been possible.
