The estate Of the Russian novelist,
Ivan Turgenev, which is reported to
have been sacked by peasants, lies
in the low, marshy country Of the gov

though toward the end of his life Tur-

Resurrection Of Old Roman Port.

Ostia, the harbor Of ancient Rome,
Is once more, by decision Of the Italian
government, to become a port, and
Rome therefore once more a maritime
city. To the harbor at Ostia, when
Rome was mistress Of the world, came
the corr from Sicily and Sardinia,
which, after Tibet silt and national in
dolence had let ostia perish. was stored
at Portus, the rival harbor, which also
afterward fell into desuetude. 1t was
the seizure Of Rome's granary which
enabled Alaric to impose his will on
the Eternal city. Ostia began its exis-
tence In $40 B. O., and she seems about
to add another chapter to her history.
