Some OF the other princes OF the

Some of the Tokyo papers are
predicting that this new fashion

Creek colonists established a city
of about 10000 to $4,000 inhabi-
tants near the site Of modern
Odessa, a city which they called
olbia, the Greek word for hap
py." II was this city which the
two Russian friends. the engineer
and the archaeologist, discovered,
while the railroad was being dug.
Il was here that. during periodical
invasions OF the barbarians in this
ueighborhood, the Inhabitants at
that time assembled their treas
ures and hid them IN one OF the
large Scythiap tumuli in the neigh
borhood of the town.
Olbia was at the junction Of the
two great rivers flowing into the
Black sea from the uorth-l1y-
panis (now the Bug1 and Borys-
themes (now the Dnieper). From
old documents and traditions, it
would appear that at the place
where oIbia was built there had
stood a still older Greek colony
called Borysthenia, after the river
Borysthenes. According to Fuse
bius. the Milesians established a
colony In $50 b. c. and called It
"Olbia."
The method employed by both
Mr.. Lebordowski and Mr.. Chmiel-
owsld in unearthing these treas
ures was simple. The 500 men
employed to build a railroad were
put to the task OF excavating the
treasures. The treasures obtained
from the ruins have been valued
at $1,000. 900.

York city OF a small portion OF the
collection, $4,000 worth was sold.

paid for by the Metropolitan Mu-

for a gilded silver mirror.
