INVOLVES SITE OF
HOLY SEPULCHER
Excavations at Jerusalem
Raise Doubt.

Jerusalem.-Parto Of the wall .inclos-
ing Jerusalem built by Agrippa, one of
the lasr Jewish kings, and destroyed
by Titus, has been unerrthed recently.
About 60 yards of the wall, some four
yards in thickness, has been uncov-
cred by the Jewish Exploration so
ciety.
This discovery has aroused deep in
terest in archaeological and religious
circles. If this is the third of the
series of walls built around Jerusalem.
it is argued, 1t brings into question the
authenticity Of the size of the Holy
Sepulcher, which is thus placed out
side the city walls.
Started by Agrippa.
The third wall was commenced by
HerOd Agrippa about 40-44 A. D., and
was interrupted by the Roman gov
ernor of Syria, to be completed later
by the Jews before the final siege of
the city. BY all accounts there were
three walls which protected Jerusalem
on the north, built successfully both
for the protection of the weakest side
of the defenses and to afford room fot

Stockholm Happy Choice
for Summer Conference.

Washington.-"St Stockholm, host this
month to a gathering of church repre-
sentatives, is a happy choice as a
summer conference city," says bull
letin from the Washington headquar-
tiers Of the National Geographic so
ciety.
"A winding ford, leading up from
the Baltic sea, provides an enchant-
ing approach. Along the low rocky
shores the small steamers and lumber
boats, called wood billies, lie in little
cOves, their rigging almost tangled
among the boughs of the forest. A
few wooden houses set among the
trees and the constantly shifting
shores give a fairylike effect, which is
heightened as you round bend in the
ford and a huge stone city comes sur
denly into view, seemingly carved
from the rocks and the woods.
Stockholm, like Venice, is a city
founded on islands, but it has spread
out into the mainland to the north
and south, where most of it's people
now live. The early Vikings gave the
city it's start when they chose one of
the islands in the harbor as the site
of a fort, to protect their settlements
along the chain of lakes and rivers in
land. These inland waterways, with
the addition of several modern canals,
now connect Stockholm with the Cat
tegat aud the North sea.
Magnificent Royal Palace.
1.-THE island portion of the original
city, Staden, like it's Partisan counter
part, TIE lie de la Cite, bears remind
ers of IT'S early history. Today it con-
tains the magnificent royal palace.
one of the finest structures in the
French classic style in Europe, and
many Of the business establishments
of the city, most of them housed in
handsome stone buildings of uniform
Renaissance design.
THE Staden is connected with four
adjacent islands and the main land TO
the north and south by arched stone
bridges The most famous of these,
the Norrbro, is the Brooklyn bridge Of
Stockholm, in respect to traffic, and its
London bridge, as an object of SEN
timent.
'I0 the west, on the smaller island
of EiddarhOlmen, rises the lofty iron
Epire of the most famous church In
Stockholm, the Observation-Disclosures.
In 4 country of fine cathedrals, such
a. shat of Upsala, it is misleading to
retEr to the Riddarsholms-Kyrk as
TIE Westminster Abbey of Sweden. Per-
hips the Pantheon or Valhalla would
be more appropriate, for buried there
are illustrious sons of the nation. The
Storkyrka (Great Church), nearby on
Staden, is incorrectly referred TO as
n cathedral.

FIRE DOES sI5o DAMAGE
 TO GARAGE AND AUTO

The Putnam fire department re eeiyed it's first call in fiys weeks when it responded to an alarm for garage fire on the property of Dan Sullivan on Thompson avenue, Thursday after. noon.
 A four stroke alarm was rung in at 3.01 o'clock, for which the hook and ladder truck rolled out of the fire station and made a quick two mile run to the Sullivan place. Since it is beyond the line of fire bydrantss quite a considerable quantity of chemicals was necessary to extsngnish the blaze. which had gained much headway before the department sr- rived.
 A damage of about sl00 was done to the building and of at least fifty dollars to a Ford sedan within the structure. The car was damaged mostly on the sides and top.
 Children playing with matches ih held by the firemen to have been the cause of the blaze, which started in- side the building.
