ut is an odd coincidence that the
most modern occurrence in Prus-
sia-its occupation by American
trOops-shOuld begin with its old
est city, observes a writer in the Kan
sas City Times. Treves, or Trier, as
the Germans call it, into which the
Yanks marched recently, is older than
history, which begins for it half CEN
fury before the birth of Christ. Then,
as the capital of the Celtic Treviri,
one of the most powerful Belgian
tribes, it was captured by the Romans
under julius Caesar. 1t was made a
Roman colony under the name of Au-
gusta TrevirOrum and was strongly
fortified. By IA B. c. it had become
the most important northern outpost
Of the Roman empire. 1t was an i'm
perial residence early in the Christian
era and the administrative center from
which Gaul, Britain and Spain were
ruled. The poet Ausonius described it
as Rome beyond the Alps" Constan-
tine the Great lived there about twen-
ty-five years. He and his successors
beautified 1t with public works and
magnificent private villas dotted the
hillside all around. Some of the finest
Roman relics north Of the Alps re-
main to this day in Treves.
From the earliest times Treves, be-
cause of its strategic position and the
rich country surrounding it, was an
object of warfare. The Franks par
ticularly desired it and they made
many expeditions against it. They
continued their attacks after the Ro-
man occupation. Three times they
sacked 1t and held 1t for short periods
About the middle of the fifth century
they gained permanent possession and
made II their capital. The Frankish
kings gradually transferred their pow

in 1894 captured it again and abolished
the archbishOpric. The congress of
Vienna in 1S14-iS15 gave it back to
Prussia. 1t figured several times in
the war just closed, being bombarded
by allied aerial forces.
The modern city of Treves occupies
almost the exact site of the ancient
town. 1t nestles picturesquely in the
valley of the Moselle river and is sur
rounded by hills covered with the vine
yards from which comes the famous
Moselle wine. The newer section con-
ings. The streets in the old part are
narrow and crooked. The POrta Nj
gra, an enormous fortified gateway,
was built by the Romans. In the
southeastern part of the city is the
palace of the Roman kings, now a pic
turesque mass of ruins. In the south
western section are the Roman baths,
a vast and impressive ruin, and short
distance away is Roman amphithea-
ter built in Emperor Trajan's time.
Famous Church and Relics.
One of the most interesting buildings
is the cathedral, one of the Oldest
churches in Europe. 1t stands on the
site of church used in the time of
Constantine. 1t bears the marks of
repeated reservations as the result Of
wars and the ravages of time. Among
the holy relics it contains are an al
legged nail from the cross and the IA
nous seamless "Holy Coat" said to
have been worn by the Savior. Both
are held in great generation and are
declared to have figured in many mi
raculous healings. A provincial mu-
scum contains many antiquities and a
number of rare books are in the mu-
nicipal library, including the illuminat-
ed Codex Egberti, dating from the close

Discovery of Easter island.

Easter Island was discovered nearly
200 years ago by the Dutch Admiral
Poggeveen, who cast anchor there on
an Easter Sunday. whence 1t derived
its name. He found 1t more largely
populated than it is now. But he and
his crew must have seen and
marveled at its bold rock sculpture. its
terraces and walls, its picture writings.

Some curious finds are being made
by French inhabitants returning to
the lands recently wrested from the

er to Metz, however, and Treves be-
came the seat Of a powerful religious
empire.
Treves had a bishop at a very early
date. Four great saints of the fourth
century are connected with the city.
II was the scene of the first Danish
ment of st. Athanasius; st. Ambrose
was born there; st. Jerome first be-
came seriously interested In religion
while studying there, and st. Martin of
Tours went there in 1856 to plead with
the tyrant Maximus for the lives of the
hereto Priscillian and his followers.
The great bishop, st. Nicetius, built a
splendid castle for himself at Treves
In the sixth century. The see became
an archbishopric soon after the begin
Rg OF the ninth century and it's tenn
l power was founded in S9S. when
ubod acquired the rights of the
counts of Treves. Throughout the
middle ages the city abounded In re-
ugious foundations and was a great
seat Of monastic learning.
Changed Hands Many Times.
With the transfer Of the Frankish
capital to Metz began long era Of
changes for Treves. The city passed
to Lorraine in S43 and to the east
Frankish kingdom In $40. 1t was sack
ed by the Mortimer In SS1 after it had
become permanent part of what is
now Prussia. 1t became a free city
toward the close of the sixteenth CEN

times In the seventeenth century and

respect, ana there the merchants nung
such things as cords, nets and girdles
out into the street, and often sat in
front of their shops.
The Suk ell Bizar (grain market) is
broader street, and lighter, since it Is
not vaulted in, but, as many more
people cOngregated there, progress was
as difficult as in the butchers street.
This was the busy part in every other
region of the Moslem quarter hardly
soul was to be seen at some hours Of
the day, except in Karat Bah ePAmud
(the street Of the Damascus Gate),
and Karat Bah Sitti Miriam (street Of
Our Lady Mary's Gate), where grocers
did an active trade, the fellahin from
the eastern country buying netessaries
there just before leaving the town. A
conventional thin veil or net was
dropped over the shop entrance, and
projecting baskets of rice, nuts, lentils.
etc, from IL q. m. to 1. p. m, signify
ing that the owner was away, pre-
sumably at prayers in the adjacent
Haram. The protection was more real
than any police measures could have
secured.
In the Crowded Grain Market.
In the Suk ell Bizar the throng was
sometimes so great that it was impos-
sible to advance step; especially was
this the case when long string Of
camels loaded with grain made its way
to the wheat bazaar. the small square
underneath a vault which gives the
street its name. Wheat and barley,
lentils and dhurra, or maize, are here
poured on big heaps and sold to the
public. The official appointed to meas
ure out the grain in the Tabbeh (about
eight rotls) or Sa' (half Tabbeh) is
quite a serious and important person
age. Filling his measure, he will begin
by announcing Allahu Ahad (GOd Is
One), and continues saying this till
the first tabbeh Is in the sack. 'Two,"
three" he says at every measure. till
he comes to seven, when he says same
ha (pardon), instead Of saba (seven).
The number seven, being that Of the
princes Of the jam (genis), must not
be named while handling grain for fear
tee jam should carry of the blessing.

are, as rule, disliked by orientals. The

tice in a crowd. A camel, waiting to
pass. looked round. casually, put out his
huge lips, seized the strange straw
basket, and in one bite ate half the
hat, to the distress of Mr.. SncD and the
delight of the by-standers.
The north and northeast portion as
far as the Temple Area was most ex-
clusively Moslem. Like the butchers
and the spicers, the gold and silver
smiths, the blacksmiths and the cop
persmiths and other workers had their
separate streets, the last named near
the dyers but many began to feel the
influence of a new period and left
their old quarters, bidding farewell to
the ancient oriental tradition.
