July 27.—The father of the
f Babylonia was Marduk.
of him It was that Ne
buchadnezzar. sen of Nabopallassor,
built the magnificent temple known as
Esagllla, meaning the “lofty house.’*
To furnish forth and beautiful this
house of the Gentile worship, treasures
brought from Jerusalem by the
Babylonian king after his destruction
of Solomon’s temple, 600 B. C. "To*
Nebuchadnezza of Babylon,” says his
tory, “fell Jerusalem. He took the city,
plundered the temple and carried away
the king and chief inhabitants, opprea-,
sing them with a heavy hand”’ ,T$e
last ’ king of the Jews,' ^edekiah, had
tried the chances of war with Npbu-
elradhezzar, but was routed, and borne
away with the greater part of his peo
ple intd . the seventy years’ Babyloian
captivity. Out of the prisoners, thv
prophet Daniel, arrived at high honor,
at we read In Holy Writ. Both Daniel
and Jeremiah have left us descriptions
of Mardult's temple, in which some of
the glories of Solomon’s temple are
now hidden away in pillars and collon-
ades that mingle in superb non-resist
ance with the more massive and pro
fuse details of Babylonian architecture.
The site of the heathen temple built
by Nebuchadnezzar has been found at
abylon, and the ground Is being ex-
!voted now undpr the direction of the
German Exploration Society. ThcjTunds
to carry on the work are said to be
abundant. Emperor William II. has

His most serene Christian majesty of
Germany will earn In this way the title
of “Protector of Esagtila”—having ref
erence, of ‘course, to his patronage of
the archaeological work of restoration.
For the emperor Is. In fact, not only a
patron of archaeology, but a genuine
one of archaeology seems a favorite
scientist In many fields, though this
with hi majety.
For the first time the magnificent
proportions .of an ancient burled tem
ple of the Gentiles will have been
brought to the light for modern eyes,
when we see Esagllla as Daniel and
Jeremiah paw it. When wilWthat.be?
The explorers have already got down
seventy-five feet below the surface of
the mound which covered the remains
of the temple. They .have reached the
foundations, but have not reported on
finding the full extent of thp sit of the
structure and, of course, the exact di
mensions cannot ,yet be given, many
of those ancient series of titanic erect
tlons having been so continuously ad
ded to by successive rulers and' dynas
ties that the whole of them .cannot be
positively assured until much of the
surrounding area has been gone over.
In passing, we may note that the
German archaeologlpis have undertak
on this restoration of the Babylonian
Esagllla simultaneously with* the great
French enterprise for the partial or
total restoration of the Egyptian tem
ple at Thebes. ,A grander rivalry be
tween two nations of scientists cannot
easily be Imagined or desired. Surely
there must have been great builders
in the far-off past when such build
ings .were planned and executed and
It is we(l If we bet aon oportunlty to
| study them‘ecvcn in outline. The nr
chitectural genius that conceived and
superintended the carrying out of
the?e Imperishable forms in stone; the
lnnuemrable slaves in Babylon and on
the Nile who tolled under hard task
masters to Insure such iporfectlon and
profusion of detail; ,th* social condi
tions, the forms of religion, the mas
tery of ruling minds; the weird mys
teries of an occult philosophy—all In

struggling against th*se records of hu

gods, representing the
sun of spring. As Babylon’s power in
creased the worship of Marduk became
the chief cult of the people. This was
In the time of Hammurabi or Amru-
phael. But this ruler was grandson
of Zabum, who began the erection of
Esagllla. Sumulallu, who first built
a wall around the city of Babylon, laid
the foundation of Its Independence, and
later set up a throne of gold and sil
ver for Marduk. This was probably In
the twenty-third or twenty-fourth cen
tury, B. C.. It Is likely that the gold
and silver throne to Marduk. and other
partial erections were afterward in
cluded In the Esagllla erected by Za
bum.
In 1300 B. C. Tukulti-Adar, king of
Assyria, captured Babylon. The walls
, of the city were destroyed. Esagllla
was plundered. But Marduk became
chief god of the Assyrians. The de
struction brought upon Esagllla vThs
only partial. There was probably some
restoration, perhaps additions, to the
structure during the six centuries that
followed. Sennacherib destroyed city
and temple GS9 B. C. The statues of
the minor gods were smashed, the
treasures of the temple were thrown
Into the Canal Arachty. The statue of
Marduk went Into exile in Assyrlnluss.
The ruins of Esagllla were not allowed
to remain, however, as a token of Sen
nacherib’s furious revenge. Ills son.
Esserhnddon, assumed supreme power
6S0 B. C. Esagllla was restored with
greatest magnificence, but was not com
pleted until *the reign of Assurbanipal,
son of Essarhadden. The statute of
the god Marduk was brought back to
Babylon from Its Assyrian exile when
the roof of Esagllla had been completed
by Its huge beams of cedar and cy
press and the door poBts had been set
of costllent woods.
The walls had been crowned with
gold and silver .and precious stones,
and Marduk’s name "Ekua" ahon* in
mystic light (n the inner sanctuary,
where Assurbenipal In person pacrl-
flced oxen and aheop brought and As
syria. ,
But even greater glories were the
portion of Esagllla during the reigns
of Nabopollasaar and his son Nebuc
hadnezzar. All the great temples of
Babylon .had Btage-towers, slggurats.
The zlggurat of Eaagllln, the “Town
of Babel” as it was called, was named
EtemenankI, that is, “House of the
Foundations of Heaven and Fourth."
This had been 'destroyed by Senna
cherib. Esaerhadden Ptntes that

it was Nebuchadnezzar who, after
Ks.-aphadden, was tho chief protector
of EEsagllla. The Babylon which the
German Exploration Society is about
to dig up, with its*.palaces, walls, tem
ples and streets, may be regarded as
tho Babylon of Nebuchadnezzar.
From the earliest times Esagllla hhs
been the recipient of favors from the
powerful and wealthy. The riches of
of | the great empires of Assyria and Ba
ms j bylonia were poured Into this temple.
and the statues of the gods were clad
»mo in the costliest robes, adorned with
ar * s gold .silver and precious stones,
the j When Babylon fell, 53S B. C., under
Nabonldus, the glories of the temple
departed for all time, even though An-
tiochus called himself— pobably as a
formal adoption of aprevious title of
Babylonian kings—protector of Esa-
gilla. Though the glory la departed
from the vast, old sombre pile that »t
must have been in the days of its gran
deur, still we may felicitate OUrselv-.*
that the light of science Is about to fall
upon It. revealing truths that are every
uklng the story of ancient peo
ples and temple* subservient to the
higher intelectuul life of our epoch.
In our day, for the last time, Baby
lon and Esagllla rise from their ruins.
In a strictly literal sense the cult of
Marduk will reveal itself in shaft and
altar and collonade ahd mausoleum.
We may thus see and read and under
stand just what It was that made
those ancient Assyrians and Babylon
ians cleave successively to Marduk for
more than twenty-three centuries.
The old god, or personification—
whatever It is—Is having a long Bicep

people, and was on the whole well
treated. Let us trust that the German
savants mal not excite his anger by
looking too closely or bootleasly In upon
his repose—as those sometimes do who
set up for protectors.

This Is the story of an Avondale wo-
inn, who came near, very near, capt
uring nn .imposter and receiving there*
r a reward of $500 or $1,0000.
As told in the pnpers a few weeks
ago, a shrewd gentleman, with a glib
tongue and commanding presence, can
vassed the business part of tlic elty for
subscribers, to the Lady's Home Jour-
ad the Saturday Evening Post. He
•d both publications for — 1—both
no year for tho small sum. of $1.
Then, to make It more Impressive, ho
showed that If they were purchased by
tho Issuo the cost of the two perlodl-
$1.'" for ih«- Homo Journal
and $2.00* for the Saturday. Evening
Post. Of course, the difference between
$3.80 and $1 is $2.80. which would rep-
sent the net saving, that Is, if you
hit at the bait. To one man h>> said:
“Now', you needn’t take my word for
It, nor pay me tho money. Send the
y to tho publishing company in
Philadelphia und give me credit for I ho
subscription, so that it will go on my
club.” Then he explained how he wah
able to make such an alluring offer.
'It is this way," he said: “The pub
lishers are offering thousands of dollars
for tho biggest clubs. I nrn allowed a
big commission, but I throw off a largo
part, because I know that by this
means I can win tho big prize and re
coup myself for ihe amount I sacrifice
In the price. Ho you are at prefect lib
erty to send your money direct to the
firm."
that sounded honest and rons-
onnble. But tho business man was still
suspicious. He concluded to send his
dollar to tho house. And he did. With
in a day or two he received it hack
with the announcement that the man
was Imposlnlg upon their customers
and subscribers; that he had worked
other cities to the queen's taste and
robbed many of their money, and,
more Important, tho firm would pay
handsomely for his apprehension. Of
course, his offer to permit the money
to be sent to the firm was a mere
blind. He knew full well that In most
rnses the busy man would take it as
an evidence of good faith and forth
with produce the dollar rather than
write a letter, enclosing a small remit
tance.* Or, tho chances were they
ould drop the matter If they failed to
produce at the first visit.
iSow, as to,the Avondale woman. The
same glib-tongued man visited th'*
home of the Avondale yesterday. The
wife knew all about the first part, al
ready told. When the smooth agent
commenced his song and dance sin- was
well posted. Hhc thought quickly and
made up a story on the spur of the
moment. If the gentleman would wait
a minute she would telephone her hus
band and ask him about it, and wheth
er he would object to her subscribing.
The agent waited. lie was on the ver
anda. The telephone Is In the hall, not
far from the door. It must have been
that the agent listened, or. In other
words, “rubbered.” The woman wfts
sharp enough to conceal her ldet* over
the ’phone. The husband caught on
and said he would telephone for a po
liceman In a hurry. But It all slipped
