when the treasure was found. they
said, it belonged to them. But today
hey welcome visitors.
Nominally, the city Of Petra is q
personal possession Of the Sultan OF
Turkey and 1t is theoretically against
the law to remove anything without
his permission. But there Is nobody
to stand watch and guard the historic
treasures. The ancient streets are
streWn with Assyrian carvings, an
cient Hebrew coins and Roman re-
mains. Every traveller helps himself,
and the natives assist him In his
search, hoping to derive a few cents
for their labor.
In the center of the city there is a
tail prong of stone. Its summit is ap-
preached by q carved winding stair
way, the steps Of which are still sharp.
At the top there is & sacrificia, stone
and an altar and pulpit. There are
trenches for the blood Of the sacrifice,
and it is the theory that the ancient
priests mounted this altar, performed
service il the presence of the assem-.
bled city--tens of thousands Of its peo-
pie having been able to hear his voice
distinctly, owing to the bowl forma'
ton of the city.
Great Amphitheater and Arena.
There is an amphitheater capable OF
seating 5000 persons, carved from the
rock, with a gigantic arena, and even
private loges that are approached by
secret subterranean passages also
carved from the rock. 1t is the theory
that a city that could support such an
arena for ornament must have been
exceedingly prosperous and wealthy.
But Petra has no certain history. It
is known that after his visit there,
the Emperor Hadrian ordered the
carving of Ell Kazneh, but most Of the

American Literature.

"If one were asked what Is the DOM
inant tone in American literature and
l;fe. the answer would be youthful
ness but this youth has attained all
the vices Of age, and has conserved
a few of the charms proper to its
period. 1t is q very disingenuous youth
indeed. This in5istence on 'boyish-
ness is unhealthy; more, Ii Is de-
praved. These boyish boys and girl
ssh girls of the writer and the artist
are the indications of real cancer
in American public life. Perhaps IN
portraying them the writers and Illus
traitors are describing something which
IS as true as il IS detestabte. The
,ult Of youthfulEegs il America IS a
rational calamity, far graver than
anything for which Europe has to
mourn. Youth has nothing to give
life but its energy; it has even less
to give literature, for literature Is
an expression OF the spiritual truth

One OF the marvellous gifts Of the
