This particular stone has the inscription "Let no Gentile enter inside of the barrier agd the fence around the sanctuary Any one trespassing will bring death upon himself as a penalty." It was this injunetion which Paul was accused of having violated when the Jews from Asia stirred up a mob arainst him in the temple. "The Jews which were of Asia, when they saw him In the temple, stirred up all the people and laid hands on him, crying out, "Men of Israel, hélp; This-is tHe man that teacheth 1ssoclated with the Amorites and pre-Amorites, with may add, with Napoleon and. Proved. a Site of Calvary Discovered. One of the most interesting and important things that Holy Land research has been investigating, according to Liewellyn L. Hanson, who himself ig. a student of things in Palestine, is the location of the ancient town of Jerusalem, its topography, and the course of its ancient walls, and the site of Calvary; which Is deemed by many to be on the skull-tfke knoll with eyeless sockets and darkly shaded forehead rising to a height of sixty feet, lying outside the present northern wall, not far from Damascus gate ss x Pool of Siloam Found by Boy. Perhaps the most interesting of all Jerusalem finds is the Siloam inscription The archmological diggers had been after the famous tunne)] there In grand numbers, but it was a rumaway schoolboy that found the prize The story goes that when the boy's teacher, Dr all men everywhere against the people and the law and Schick, was in the act_of administering the well earned this Place; and further brought Greeks also into the punishment, even while his hand and the rod were uptemple and hath polluted this holy place.' lifted, the lad, in desperation to suggest a mitigation aJ ost of his sufferings, chanced to mention what he had seen. Whereupon the schoolmaster explorer left his birch tn the alr and fared forth at once to see this most resought Something that has been for many years, markablo of finds. The story which this strange stone but which sO far has not been found, is the tomb of narrates digging Of a tunnel through the rock is the David.

The fifth stratum contalns the remains of the city which Pharaoh destroyed, To say nothing of the thousands of jars, beads, flint knives and arrow, heads, lamps, images, and other objects, It has been found that the inhabitants of the first occupation cremated their dead, remains of more than 100 bodies having been discovered in on burlal cave, .

The castle is a mammoth bullding, with a courtyard just inside the gateway. There are bers of chambers, whose use is only conjecture at present, a8 some of them have no openings and as nothing has been found within them to point to their purpose. The most interesting part of this palace is a large pillared hall, which Mr. Macalister thinks shows how Samson destroyed the Philistines in the temple The stone pillar bases, some of which were were the supports, he belleves, of wooden posts, which in turn bore up the beams of the roof. By pushing these posts from stones on which they rested the ruin of the temple would be easily accomplished. J And in the last weeks of the work at Gezer last summer the most complicated system of caves yet found was unearthed. They were orlginally excavated by the pre-Semitle Inhabitants of the hill and were used by the later residents as a place of burial. Finally, but not most insignificantly, two tombs, totally unlike any other heretofore seen, and possibly pointing to Philistine influence, have recently come to light. a ss Capernaum May Be Located. Great as have been the results in the past, they are but the beginnings of what the explorers of the Holy Land hope to achieve. Many other places must be excavated and many other cells must be ope ere they shall feel that their mission has been fulfilled. Some of these, It Is thought, will prove richer by far than anything that has yet been worked. Sam instance, with the splendid remains of that great onnade which was a part of the magnificence of the city In the days of Herod, offers, it would seem, an ospe- World Is the location of Capernaum.
