Rome Subway Diggers Find Deity Suano and Lady Friend

ID ONE. - Construction of
IN the subway that will
carry visitors from the Rome
central station to the grounds
of the Rome Universal ex-
position in 1912 have led to
important discoveries recent
ly. Workmen digging along
the ''Viale Africano," the main
road under which the subway tracks
are to be laid, recently unearthed a
niche which was buried under tons
of earth and stones.
Hidden in the center of the niche
and still In a remarkable state of
preservation were found two beauti-
full statues. The larger of the i'm
ages was the nude figure of a man
with bearded face and only a short
cloak covering the upper part of
the body. Because the figure was
accompanied by that of dog, Off
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1939-08-10

Gals were able to identity the statue
as representing Silvano, the deity
that In early Roman days was
known as the protector of the trees
and the forests. Except for the fore
arms, the figure was intact and al
most life-sized. The smaller figure,
about half the size of the Silvano,
was of woman, its head and body
covered by a wide cloak.
Close study of the two statues,
which have been removed to a mu-
scum for closer examination, give
weight to the belief that they belong
to one of the richest periods of early
Roman civilization, probably the era
of the Emperor Augustus. The fe-
male figure is believed to be of the
Greek type of the Fifth century B. c.

carefully secreted In a wei con-
cealed and strongly built niche is
not Immediately known The Viale

thousands of small dams must be
built on the watersheds of the en-
tire United States.
So a few years ago the long-suf-
fering beaver was returned to mans
good graces and is now busily at
work multiplying himself and build
ing dams In huge forest and noun
tain tracts. In Pennsylvania, for ex-
ample, the "a beavers planted in
1915 have grown to $4,000 and are
doing an excellent job of holding
back water during spring freshets.
Dams built by beavers cost moth
ing and require no maintenance, ex-
cept that occasionally they become
too enthusiastic. In the Columbia
river area, for example, colonies
periodically decide to build a dam
on one of the irrigation canals, with
the result that farmers depending
on water flowing through these
bitches find their crops perishing
from lack of moisture Uncle Sam,
far from Furnishing his voluntary
workmen, simply backs them off to
another stream.
The dams serve double purpose,
not only checking floods but supply
ing "sub-irrigation" to adjoining
land and filtering out silt washed
down by precipitous streams.
