An Old City Israel Is Brought 10
Light.
Discovery and Excavation Of Ancient
Town in Palestine by DR.. Macken-

New York.-Day by day fresh light
is being thrown upon the past owing
to the various excavations in the
lands belonging to the long-ago-so
long ago that, for centuries, the tales
that had been handed down became
mythology: until a Schliemann, with
shade and bool-his Homer believ

and Soul, began to dig, and proved ira
dition-HistOry!
When a few fragments Of baked
clay here are found to correspond in
their texture, form and markings with
the baked clay there-thOugh seas roll
ed between them-the tale unfolds;
the maker was the safe; and by these
little bits of pottery the nations and
their doings become linked together,
until shortly the whole book of the
great past will lie open before us.

FLOATING REFRIGERATOR

A new venture, which is claimed to
revoIutionize the methods of handling
and marketing fish, is to be tried in
the United States. A steamer is be-
ing equipped with a big cold storage
and freezing plant, so that it may. cru+
ise' about the various ports on the
west and south coasts of Newfound-
land, securing fish of all kinds, freez-
ing and preserving them, and later
shipping from North Sidney. To help
the scheme, the Newfoundland gov
eminent viii allow all coal needed for
operating the cold storage plant to be
admitted free of duty while the steam
er is in Newfoundland waters. This
steamer has, in addition to the usual
engine equipment of about 350-horse-
power, two 30-ton absorption refriger-
ating machines, which give a daily
freezing capacity of 10000 pounds of
fish. cover $4,000 pounds of fish can
be spread over the freezing coils at
one time. This unusual capacity in
the refrigerating rooms is the result
of supplying 10000 lineal feet of IL
inch pipe with calcium brine.

ROMANCE or AN OLD BOOK

A copy Of Benjamin Franklin's "pis-
sertation on Liberty and Necessity"
which was printed in 1775 and sold at
that time for the small sum of half a
crown, was sold recently for $4,000 at
a London dealers.
A romantic history is associated
with this book. 1t is believed that only
about 100 copies of the original dis
sertation on Liberty and Necessity
were printed. The edition was sup
pressed, and the volume sold at Sothe-
by's and one other are the only re-
naming copies known
About so years ago Henry Stevens,
founder of the firm Of Messrs. Henry
Stevens of Great Russell street, Lon
don, bought this copy for small sum.
He then offered it TO the British
museum for SO but it was declined on
account Of the price Next the book
was offered to two famous collectors
for $50, but was again refused on ac-
count OF the price. It was sold at auc-
ton fer SIS, and again in 1872 for
$125. 1t is an irOnic fact that at both

schooner was wrecked on the Isle OF
