LEGENDARY BATH OF ACAMEMNON
 POSSIBLY FOUND
Among Other Very Interesting Dis coveries at the Ancient Greek
 City of Mycenae.

Athens, Greece, Nov. 1I-Some very interesting discoveries have been made by the British School of Arche- ology i'll this seasons work at Mycenae, the ancient Greek city which already has yielded some of the most remarkable hnds bearing on the epic period which preceded the dawn of authentic history.
 One of these discoveries Is of a tank-bath in the palace of the Acrop- oils at Mycenae, which suggests the possibility that it may have been the legendary bath of Agamemnon in which he Is reputed to have been murdered by his wife, Clytemnestra.
 At all events, if Agamemnon were an historical person he should have lived in this palace, for 1t was built about I,4oo years before Christ, and was destroyed before the end of the Twelfth Century, B. C.
 Mycenae was one of the most inn portant cities of ancient Greece and was the fabled seat of Agamemnon, son of the king of that city and most powerful ruler i'll Greece. It was Agamemnon whom the Greek his torians credit with having led the Greek expedition against Troy. On his return from that expedition he Jus the scene of the murder is laid in the palace of Agamemnon at Argos, some miles distant from Mycenae
 Finds in the Palace.
 The bath uncovered by British in vestigators is lined with red stucco, and its sides are composed of steps.
 The palace, which was discovered in 1886, has now been completely cleared as the result of this seasons efforts. One of the most interesting parts of 1t is the great hall, or Mega ron, in which is a raised ceremonial circular hearth made of painted stucco, and having floors of gypsum.
 The walls of the hall were covered with painted fresco, which suffered much in the fire which destroyed the palace. Some fragments of these decorations were found. They repre- sent elaborately dressed women with auburn hair.
 The domestic quarters of the palace were much destroyed, but i'll them were found a row of jars and shrine with the remains of painted stucco altars.
 Under the floors of the palace have been found scanty remains of yet earlier edifce dating probably from 1000 to I4oo B. C. There probably lived the kings who were found by Schlieman in 1876 buried with their treasures in the famous shaft graves Of Mycenae. Below this again are the tombs of still earlier periods going back to about 2ooo B. C.
 Treasure i'll Tombs.
 In addition, the British archeolo- gists found several new chamber tombs in the Mycenae cemeteries. The two largest tombs just discov- cred have not yet been cleared. In the entrance to one were found paint ed vases, gold and amethyst beads and five splendid intaglio seal stones On two of these are standing lions and the figure of the great mother goddess dressed in the elaborately founccd and gathered gown worn by Mycenaen women. Above her head is her secret symbol, the double axe. One of these big tombs has an en- trance passage nearly 100 feet long and six feet wide. The tomb chamber is 2I feet square and lies 30 feet be- low the level of the grounds. It is hoped that they contain articles of great historic value
