The expedition, says a special ac- count by Lady Petrie just received here summing up the results of last season, revealed that Gerar was in the midst of a corn country, as borne out by numerous sickles of iron and flint, as well as by the Biblical account of Isaac reaping a hundredfold; and that Beth-pelet, described in Joshua, was an important military centre from which David drew half 1 is bodyguard. In speaking of Geier, Lady Petrie says: "Here was settled Abimeleeh, a Philistine resident for the corn ex- ports. xports.

Last October the hug.i dirigible com- pleted its first round trip from its base at Friedriehshafen, Germany, to the navy reservation here, where the naval dirigible Los Angeles has its home. At 5,55 o'clock (eastern stan- dard time) this afternoon a speck was sighted 14 miles away to the east yb Coxswain William Bishop, lookout man for the Los Angeles, and half an hour later the huge silver bag poked its shining nose into the sunset over the 'field. Manceuvering,in salute to a cheer- ing crowd of almost 100,000 persons, the Zeppelin disappeared over . the northern horizon and' cruised over New York City . before returning to the reservation, where it dropped its landing ropes at 8.49. It was dragged to a stub -mast on the field, pending its removal into the huge naval han- gar which will be its home until it departs on the return ourney. The landing was accomplished 94 hours and one minute from the tune the ship left its base 4,175 miles distant last Wednesday night. TRAVELLED 5,331 MILES.

Professor Petrie found that 19 out of 38 areas containing cities men- tioned in the Book of Joshua retain their Old Testament names. In the present season the work has gone lower, and under the fort and residency of the Roman age have been found an earlier fort and residency.. , Before 1600 B.C. the Ilyksos, or shepherd kings, had dominated this district. Their history, as it emerges will be helpful in determining the dat- ing of the middle period of Egyptian history and with it the dating of early Europe, and this increases the im- portance of the Hylcsos. These people had cut a vast earthwork round the flanks of the Tell, with a trench 80i feet wide, descending 28 feet into a aitch and rising 62 feet to the fort, with steep glacis slopes as in Egypt and Syria, copied from Central Asia. Their tombs contained daggers, toggle - pins and many scarabs—one with the name of a new king (raising the num- ber to 34 known kings). It may now be assumed that at the end of their time they ruled Egypt and Palestine, under one lordship.
