The Scriptural Shu-

D. GARRETT p. sERNIss.

ITO stand upon the scanty ruins OF
a city which flourished 10000
years ago is the sensational ex-
perience which J. de Morgan, the French
explorer of the mounds of Susa. in
ancient Persia, believes himself to
have had.
II his calculations Of the age Of the
original Susa are correct. then it is
the Oldest city in the world, and when
1t first existed the very heavens looked
quite different from their aspect Of to-
DAY, because the procession Of the
equinoXes has, in that long period Of
1900 years, carried the celestial poles
round an arc of nearly $50 degrees.
The first inhabitants Of Susa saw
the circumpOlar stars revolving around
q point IN the constellation Hercules
instead Of around our present north
star. while Draco, the Great Dragon
Of the astrologerss seemed to have got
his glitterings triangular head caught
upon the spinning axle OF the sky, and

eestors built only few hundred years
ago.
Most astonishing Of all is the quality
OF some of the art objects dlsinterred
from that Oldest of old cities which he
calls Susa of the First Period. One OF
these is round-bottomed vase. the
upper part Of which is encircled with a
band Of "cOnventiOnalized longnecked
birds"
Conventionalized means following a
custom or long series of precedents. %
and there is the source of wonder, viz,
That those people who lived so long
ago that the pole star was then 20 de-
grees from the pole, and that the
southern Cross shone conspicuously in
their sky, should already have ad-
Nanced so far in art that the forms
they used had not only become fixed
by immemOrial custom but appear
beautiful even to us
There is another thing TO be kept in
mind concerning these things. which
cannot be better expressed than in the
words of an English writer D G. Ho-
garth, who says. Most amazing of
all is II that the civilization which
could produce such things should have
run its whole course before human
memory begins and have passed away
entirely. leaving man to struggle up
ward again from the lower rungs OF
the ladder OF culture
The result of the explorations at
Susa are throwing light on one of the
most ancient Of all human races, the
mysterious Elamites. who attained
greatness before Babylon was ever
heard or thought of.
