Because of the scarcity of water, even drops are treasured, What 15 commonplaceto us is a mir- acle there, What we lightly bold and waste ie priceless there. The value depends on the situation.

Keep Mlnard's Lir ,ment _eiways handy Ancient Splendor of Great Syrian City Laid, Bare by Anglo-American Eapedi- tion Jerusalem—Part of the former glory of anel•ent Gerese, scene of notable events 'in ancient history and. founded—as legend has it --by Alex- ander the Great, has been revealed, perhaps for the first time 10 1000 years, through the excavation work of the British School of Archaeology in Jerusalem any Tale University under the leadership of J. W. Crow- foot, director of the loral soboot. A magnificent stairway of fine red stone wee completely excavated. It ascends }almost to the Chitral', of St. Theodore ,the excavation of which was begun lost season, a notable edi- fice standing on the third and high- est of three levels Tieing from tbe famous Street of the Columns. The present village (Jerash) is located on the eastern bank of a stream, the ancient site being on the. western, so that the latter is me spoiled by unsightly buildings erect- ed oyer it, as is the case with so many other historical sites, This season's excavations were confined to a number of Byzantine churches, most of which date about the sixth century &D. They were found to be in groups of two er three, and all quite close together. A notable feature of one of Giese is the discovery of tbe floor of a synagogue, only a few inches below the level of the church, located im- mediately to the rear of the Temple of Artemis, commanding an xcelleat view of the city, The mosaics oI the synagogue floor, some et which were partly destroyed by the erection of the church above 1t, reveal an elabo- rate scene frorn Noah's Ark and two heads of figures with the names of Sham and Japheth written in Greek. There is also a Greek inscription, broken in part, which reads as far as preserved, "Amen, Seta. Peace to the Synagogue." Representations of tbe seven branched candlestick, the palm branch, citron, and Scroll of the Law were found, and also another inseriil-, tion reading, "Peace unto all Israel," followed by the names of the bbne- factors, In St. George's Church there is an excellent representation of a peacock, while ail tbe other mesaics there are geometric In design. From all evidence obtainable, St. Theodore's is apparently the oldest of all the .hurches thus far excavat- ed. The mosaics reveal remnants oe a design giving the 12 months cf the,year. The figures in the middle section have been destroyed, and coarser mosaics substituted. This is believed to have been done as an act of protest against imges, but en- ough remains of the names of the months to enable identification of the general scheme, On the stairway were found a pair of gold earrings and several seal rings, and also parts of boxes in which had kept. the jewels d been t, p Gerasa was rebuilt during the Period of the Syrian kings of Antioch, when its name. was ,changed to 'Anti- och of the Golden River."
