Now to•day, as the French forces,

proceed systematicqlly tb the occupa-

is drawn once again. to thia old land
amid the world' e ohl lands. Curiously
enough, however, although an old land,
Thessaly has no Teeny important ht
tory, and it has never been the hame
of a great people. Its history, indeed,
Is closely connected with its geogra-
phy.
The great fertile plain has ever of-
fered a sore temptation to the people
of the hills which surrounded it, and
it was justly this fertility which first
induced the Theettalians to leave their
homes in the hille of Epirus and de-
scend into the richt ountry which lies,
some sixty miles square, between the
Pinclus in the weet and the continue
ous line of 035a and Pelion in the'ettst.
The Thesealians, in twe succeeeive
waves, drove the Beetians and the
Dorlans southward, and settled in the
land. That was -all in the remote
Period before Creek civilization has
begun to develop. Thessa.ly next came
prominently into notice at that critical
period in the history of classical
Greece When Xerxes, with his Persian
hosts, was threatening the liberties of
the great city states of the peninsula.
During the years that had intervened
the Thessallan had waxed fat. His land
was fertile, while its spacious surface
presented none of those elevations so
dear 'to the heart: of the founder of
warlike cities,
There never was in Thessaly. any
thing like the great democratic city

the contrary, the natural home of
Powerful aristocracies, and such fam-
ilies as the Alenadae et Larissa, and
the Esopailae of Grannon were famous
In their time. These:ay never develop-

so, in the time of the Persian wars,
the Atom's:lac a Larhisa threw in their

When a, common, cause did unite the
oligarehiee of Thessaly the combina-
tion was, of ceurse, a powerful •one.
Such confederations, however, occur-
red but, seldom, und were never last-

IIITTITE KINGDOM.
Great aonfederation That Existed,
in Bible Times.
Great alms z
Bible students are aware that arche-
ology has in recent years established
the fact of a great Hittite kingdom,
or confederation of kingdoms, whose
operations extended. from the Aegean
Sea to the Euphrates, and from the
Caucasus to the Egyptian frontier.
Hittites are repeatedly mentioned as
one of the peoples inhabiting Caanan
who were to be subdued hy. Israel, and
deseendants of this race were subse-
quently assimilated among the other
elements taken into the Jewish com-
moowealth. Mention of them is fre-
Ohently made to tee Babylonian -As-
syrian and Egyptian historical records.
The names of several ot the rulers
are known, A large number or their
monumental reetlptures in the round
land in relief .have been discovered
and seem of them reproduced in. print.
At two of their principal towns,
Carcheroish and Boghaz-lCol, exectect-
lions have been carried out.
Those at the latter site (North-Cen-
tral Asia 'Minor) were under German
auspices. The late Dr. Hugo Winsk-
ler obtained a llama for digging in
1906. and for several years carried on
operations. Greate expectations were
