centres Of antiquity, such as Hebron,
Jerusalem, Bethel and Dan, remain
UNEMPLOYED. Hundreds Of large
mounds exist all over the country,
within which the records of ancient
times are deposited one above the
other in chronological order. 1t is
not unreasonable to expect that, il
these mounds could be explored
thoroughly, many more Babylonian
tablets such as those found at Tan
ach would be discovered.
Perhaps even whole library might
be unearthed in such place as
Kirjath-S epher, whose name means
Book Town" Since Hebrew inscrip-
lions have been found already, there
is no reason why more might not be
found, or why even manuscripts
might not be discovered sealed up in
earthen Jars, which, as we know from
Jeremiah 32:14, was the custom Of
the Hebrews. Think how the world
would be startled, II some Of the lost
books mentioned In the Old Tesla
ment were rediscovered, or ancient
manuscripts of some Of the canon
ical books!
Not only the sacred places Of the
Holy Land, but the most famous sites
of the ancient and classical world,
barring those of Greece and Rome,
lie under the clutches of the unspeak-
able Turk. Among them are Con-
stantinople, Troy, Babylon, Nineveh,
Damascus, Tyre, Sidon, Arbela and
many. others.
Considerable excavation has, Of
course, been done at such places as
Babylon and Nineveh, but it could
only be done at great expense and at
great risk of many kinds. These
conditions will be remedied when the
terrible Turk is swept away and the
world will enter on new era OF en-
lightenment and progress.
Before the war French arch
biologists had just begun some very
interesting researches at Constants
nople. They have now partially laid
bare the ruins of the palace of Con-
stantine, which, of course, is of great
interest as the residence of the EN-
peror who gave his name to the city.
This amazing building covered
space of many acres, Including quar-
ters, baths and every luxury for the
one thousand persons who composed
the imperial household and the guards
Of the palace.
It surpasses incomparably both In
extent and splendor the palace Of the
Caesars at Rome, and yet it is prob
ably equalled in interest by many Of
the other ruins in the city.
Few Americans realize the extraor-
binary interest Of Constantinople and
the strange manner in which the
wealth Of the ages has been locked
up in it. Constantinople has longer
continuous history than any other
great city in the world. Compared
with It, Athens was but city of a
day, and even Rome is new, while
London and Paris are mere parvenus,
Everybody hopes that one Of the
first results of the war will be to free
this ancient centre Of culture and
Christianity, as well as the Holy
Land, from the horrible barbarous|
Turks.

order to ocercome the fanaticism and
prejudice of the provincial authori-
ties.
"The site desired for exploration
must be purchased at a price esti-
mated by the owners. After local
permission is secured, endless delay
and bakshish are necessary before an
edict can be secured from the central
government When at last 1t is
obtained, a Turkish, commissioner,
whose expenses are paid by the ex-
cavator, must be constantly in at
tendance to decide what may and
what may not be done, and all
antiquities discovered must be turned
over to the Imperial Ottoman Museum.
These conditions stand In disagree
able contrast to the liberal provisions
in Egypt, where any competent per-
son is allowed to excavate, and is re-
quired only to divide his finds with
the Cairo Museum.
sAt the beginning the exploration
of Palestine was confined to the study
of places and objects that remained
above ground Edward Robinson,
the distinguished American arch
aeologist and professor in Union
Theological Seminary, New York, in a
series of journeys carried on during
the years following 1888, and the
French scholar, Guerin, ascertained
the modern names of many localities,
and succeeded in Identifying them
with places mentioned in the Bible.
The palestine Exploration Fund,
founded in England in 1865. and
largely supported by American con-
tributors, conducted an elaborate sur
vey of Palestine, whose results were
embodied in their Great Way of
Palestine which is still the standard.
"Other explorations were carried
on at Jerusalem since 1857, and a
little digging was done outside the
present city limits TO determine the
lines of the ancient walls. In the
course of the superficial study of the
land a number Of important monu-
ments were discovered still standing
upon the surface. In 1868 the Ger
man missionary Klein discovered an
inscription of Mesha, King of Moab.
who Is mentioned In III. Kings, 3. In
1880 some boys, playing in the con-
duit which leads to the Pool Of Sloan,
discovered an inscription In ancient
Hebrew characters dating from the
time Of King Hezekiah. In 1891
Schumacher discovered q monument
of Rameses II. (1292 B. c., who was
probably the Pharaoh who oppressed
the children of Israel in Egypt, and
in 1901 Professor George Adam Smith
discovered beautiful stele Of Seti l.,
the father of Rameses II"
The Harvard expedition at Samaria
in 19O9-101O discovered remains Of
the palace of the Hebrew Kings Omri
and Ahab, and In one of its cham
bers potsherds were found contain
ing business accounts written in
character similar to that Of the
Sloan inscription.
These discoveries are only a be-
ginning Of the exploration of Pales-
tine. The sites excavated, except
that Of Samaria, are relatively un-
important towns. The great religious
