There seems no reason to doubt that It wns In truth an Imperial to tlint city. All the results of excavation point fart. For Instance, two bathhouses have been found In different parts of tint city. In those days only a city of Importance bad tvs Both are elaborate anil extensive. There are baths of ninrble and stone, with Inrge pipes still Intact pipes between two walls which curried hot water to tlie steam rooms. Some of the pipes are of cement.

There certainly Is much marble of very high quality. Doctor Iloselli says that some of the temples are made of precious glnllo nntlco" old yellow mar-M- e as well ns of cIpollliW onion marble. The pillars of the palace are of the finest marble In green, yellow, blue and other colors.

It Is In ruins, so no one can tell how It looked. But apparently the stones are all there and It presumably can be restored. Tbe fact that Leptls Magna has not been looted since Its abandonment by its Inhabitants gives hope of actual treasure, since there are Indications of underground storehouses. No one need worry lest Italy does a good Job In excavating Leptls Magna, ner archeologists know their business. Moreover, there Is the prospect of inestimable tressure If not In gold and silver and gems, then in historical records and In works of art worth more than their weight In solid The Sep-tirnl- Then crept in the desert sands and buried the city of Severus from 15 to 50 feet deep. For a tbousnnd years It waa forgotten, except that among the Arabs of the Sahara there lived a legend of an Enchanted City. Eighty years ago tlie explorer, Itohlfx, one of the Arst of white men to cross the Libyan desert, waa cauglit In a great sandstorm that uncovered enough to show that a city was hurled there. Archeologists were eager to excavate hut the Turk ruled the land. Italy took over the colony in 1911 and promptly began prepnratlons to dig up the buried city. Along came the World war and Italy had to Aght for her llfa. Now the work of excavation Is well under way.

Tlie photographs reproduced herewith were brought to this country by Dr. Bruno Koselll, professor of Italian at Vnasnr college, who has Just returned from an extended visit to the buried city.
