REBUILDING JUNGLE
TOMS CABIN

''Uncle Tom Brown, the sheepman,
was jubilant Wednesday when he re-
ceived the Kansas City market report
advising that lambs were selling at
Sits per hundred there that day.
When you couple this news with the
fact that he had shipped 1,500 lambs
to Kansas City the day previous,
each of which was tallowed to weigh
about 80 pounds, one can readily see
why Uncle Tom wasn't doing any
melancholy stuff.

which can be reached, he says, by
opening a hidden passage from the
baths" They were Julian's own baths.
One room of those baths remains.
1t is the great sight of Cluny Museum
today-a perfect relic of Rome!-haV-
ing been preserved by the abbots from
the Middle Ages, to store their wine.
Should the hidden passage be sought
from this famous cold room, so big
and beautifully built? The museum
guard says yes.
Nobody knows. Certainly the abbots
never found the treasure. or they
would have made q grandiose cere-
mony. Think! AS part of it there
were 12 massive statues of the Twelve
Apostles, all of gold, made at Rome in
the earliest days, supposed to be true
portraits.
The abbots searched. but nothing is
known of the state of the palace ruins
when they built above them. OF
course, the ruins extended beyond the
building now called Cluny Museum.
Also, the erection of a new apartment
house, almost beside it, permits dig
ging, not hitherto possible for several
centuries past. So, here is yet an
other chance to seek the treasure.
To collect the treasure and to perse-
cute Christians in so doing, Julian
made early Christian martyrs by cast
ing believers before lions and other
fighting beasts kept for the gladia-
torial games.
Where were the Christian martyrs
torn to pieces?
Just where today they are playing
basket balm the gladiatorial arena,
built 100 years before Julian by inn
perial legates of Rome, who were his
predecessors.
Today the arena is one of the great
est sights of Paris. Along with the
Cluny Baths they form together the
two great Roman renlais Of Paris. as

great almost as anything of their kind
remaining in Rome itself.
The arena it is true, has no built-up
walls remaining, like the Coliseum at
Rome. Such walls may have existed,
without roof. as in the Coliseum. and
merely holding a canopy against sun
and rain. Or the arena may always
have been open. like stadium for
foot ball. Nobody can know the facts
today.
More than / 900 years ago the arena,
completely neglected. began to be filled
, with dirt, debris and tumbled-down
constructions. A few centuries later
as when Columbus discovered Amer
ica.-it was entirely covered over and
the surface above it became built-up
Paris.
About 40 years ago the car houses
of the General Omnibus Co. occupied
this space above the arena. Nobody
dreamed there was an arena down
there But the car houses moved and
men began to dig foundations for
small buildings. So, digging, they
came on circular stone seats of some
great stadium. Could it have been the
famous old arena Of gladiators?.
1t was, of course. the arena.
Little by little they have cleared
away the made ground that filled it
up. They have uncovered a perfect
gladiatorial arena, preserved by dirt
as Pompeii was preserved by volcanic
ashes.
The circular stone seats. in ascend
ing rows as in a circus, extend more
than half way round the ring. but
leave considerable segment opposite
them, which was visibly built up for
an open-air theater.
Beneath the stone remains of the

Gus stone chambers. Most of them
