LondSn-The story of the past three
years excavations at Gr. Mesopotamia
was told in lecture delivered by Mr..
Leonard Woolly, who headed the Brit
ish Museum expedition.
The civilization which has been re-
constructed by means OF excavation in
the Valley of the Two Rivers, he snid.
goes back 1900 years, and in some re-
spects the discoveries at Ur can be com
pared in interest with those of Knossos.
and while there is lacking in the
former the particular interest which
attaches to Crete of taking US back
to our own origins in civilization,
there is at any rate the link that the
Mesopotamian discoveries revivify
the times of Abraham, Nebuchadnez-
Ear and Cyrus the Persian, and illu-
mine many passages of Old Testa-
ment history.
Mr.. Woolley showed pictures of the
rich and ornate temple at Ur, dating
from $500 to $500 B. c., built OF
palm wood and copper, and display
ing remarkable limestone friezes and
copper castings.
"The remains of the tower of Ur,'
he said, "remind one of the more IA
nous Tower of Babel. The Tower of
Babylon has gone, but that of Ur, re-
mains. 1t is 200 feet by $50 feet in
area and 10 feet in height When
Abraham walked in Ur it was already
5000 years old, and we now see the
actual stones and steps revealed in a
remarkably good state of preserva-
tion. When the Sumerians went
down to the plains of 'Mespot they
built hill for themselves, a noun
tain of God, as the setting of their
religious exercises. The clay tablets
that have been discovered in the soil
possess the decisive advantage over
the Cretan tablets that they can be
read. They disclose some quaint,
some amusing, and some Illuminating
commentary on the Biblical stories.
We have evidence of business trans
actions, legal cases, factory accounts.
1t was unfortunate that the town OF
Ur was not destroyed by fire, because
the tablets, made originally of merely
sun-dried clay, are now embedded in
the soft soil, almost inextricably
mixed up with the soil in general.
"The process of salvage is a
heart breaking business. At knosses
the fire preserved the clay tablets by
baking them. Perservely enough, ii
is the well-prescrved tablets that can
not be read and the unbaked ones
that can"
Artistic finds, including ornaments
of gold and precious stones, resulted
from Mr.. Woolley's taking up a few
! stones in floor for another purpose

RECOGNIZED Jokes

The Scots are making an effort tc
stop the hoary old joke that they
never spend any money. Scientists
who have gone into the antiquity of
jokes and made a study of the sub.
ject say that there are only about six
original examples and that all humor
is based on them. Old jokes come
back into style or else appear wearing
new habiliments. Excursions into new
fields sometimes are dangerous and un.
profitable. The plumber joke may not
have been one of the early sextet, but
it has been a favorite not only with
the almanacs, but with the comic
shippers and the higher class weekly
funny magazines. If the plumber joke
has to go. the joke writer's merely
will understand that they have one
less subject upon which to work.
