Crusaders' Castle Under Investigatio French Mission Finds 50,000 Tons of Fertilier in And, ent Fortress in Syria It has been estimated that fully. 60,000 tons of manure cumber the underground galleries of the 1Cal'at el Husn (ICrak des Chevaliers), said to bo the most perfectly preserved of all the architectural works of the Crusaders, whose four towers still rear themselves from one of the sum- mits of the Aloutie Mountains, twenty miles northeast of Tripolis, in the French mandate of Syria. A French archaeological mission working under the auspices of the Academie des In- scriptions of the Institute de Franco, is now making measurements of the castle, and the report on its progress . would not have been transmitted for some time had it not asked Paris for information how to dispose of the valuable fertilizer they had found in the subterranean galleries. This revealed that many hitherto undiscovered features of the place had been brought to light. Behind the talus, or embanked wall, there was uncovered a circular underground passage and various defensive works, long since covered up and forgotten. Canals, wells and cisterns, all the.nec- essary equipment for the water sup- ply of a garrison- of 2,000 have been traced. The underground galleries, which the modern natives in their ignorance used as a dump, form part of a system of vast subterranean halls 26 feet wide, 80'feet high in places, and, in one case, 360 feet long. The object of the French mission is not only to take measurements, which may be of both historical and modern value, but also to determine, it possible, the origin and date of the different parts of the structure. It is only known that .in 1031 the Kurds had established on the site a military camp designed by the Emir Homs, and that this was held until it was captured by the Crusaders in 1110. They were survivors of the first Cru- sade. It became an important stra- tegic•position on the road to Damascus and.. the•• Knights ',of St. John were entrustedwithits occupancy by the Count of Tripolis, a reference to a sue. cessor of -whom was recently discover- ed at. El; .Mina, the port of Tripolis. This .reference, an inscription in old French, said to have been made by Behemond VI., who was Prince of An- tioch and Cbunt of Tripolis between 1251 and 1268, reads: "In the name of the Holy Ghost, I, Behemond, by the Grace of God, Prince of Antioch, Count of Tripolis, have caused 'this tower to be made with the money of the Community of the folks of Tripolis, in the year of the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ, MCCLXII." The Krak des Chevaliers, under his predecessors, and his successors, with- stood many sieges, notably one in 1163 led by the Emir Noureddine, whom tha. Hospitallers routed, and another led •.. by Saladin in 1188, and it was not until 1271 that it was wrested from them by Sultan Malek el Daber Bibars after prolonged fighting. Then, after ten years, it was abandoned only to be used, from time to time, as a place"i5f refuge for nomad tribes. Cross Country Horseback Riding Brings Most Health If you must ride something—ride a horse. Such is the advice given by Edgar Wolfe in the current issue of "Physical Culture Magazine.' Mr. Wolfe con- ducts the Outdoors Department of the health magazine.
