Archaeologist Discovers Splendid

at Tivoli.

BOLSHEVIK HINT
LffJSf S1UDT Bl MSI
Valuable Addition to Portrait* of Ro-
m an Emperors and Is Only One
Extant Done During Em
perors Life.
Home.—Tivoli, that lovely little city
perched above Koine, called Tlbur by
Uie ancient Komans, has Just given to
(lie archaeological world two new urt
treasures—un uugustuum, Or hull,
u«d a splendid*head of Enipertfr Au
gustus.
Prof, Alewslo Valle, one of the 'arch
aeologists who buve made Tivoli a
special study, long believed that
Tivoli should reveul an ancient ball
of Importance, considering the flour
ishing state of the city in Homan
days. He begun to dig near a newly
discovered weights und measures of
fice, also dating from the Homan em
pire, thinking that the public weights
aad measures must surely be near
some important hall.
He was not mistaken. He baa
opened up a hull'wlth a Homan pave
ment of- white und green tuurble
which looks as If It were put down
this morning, so fresh Is It, and the
statue of Augustus, broken but with
the head Intact, as the picture shows,
with tbe lifelike lines cut out of the
marble by some unknown sculptor of
evident genius.
Likeness of Augustus.
The statue Is a likeness of Augus
tus when he bud grown old. An In
scription underneath It," which dedi
cates the stutue to the gods, “for the
happy return In good health of our
Augustus Caesar," proves It was done
during the famous emperor’s lifetime,
u votive offering to tbe gods by a
loyal Tivoli citizen who signs himself
M. Verauus Dlllllus. The same man
gave tbe public weights und measures
to the city.
History lets us date this statue be
tween B. C. 31 and A. D. 14, when
Emperor Augustus died near Naples,
aged seventy-six. Experts say t lie facs
is the face of a man of fifty! In the
worn lines, the Ill-tempered mouth. Its
upward twist at tbe left side, v e have
no flattering picture of the great
emperor, but e lifelike study by so
urtlst who dared to cut his stmue as
he saw the human model. F<-r this
reason, and because of Its surely be
ing done In Augustus' lifetime, It Is
n very valuable addition to the col
lection of portraits of the Roman
emperors, and probably the only one
extant of Augustus done during his
lifetime.
The figure, which originally sat on
the pedestal at the head of the hall,
Is graceful, ns Suetolus, that gos
sipy historian from whom later
scribes have learned nearly all they
know about the Roman emperors,
told us. saying:
Graceful Person.
“He was a very graceful person
through all the stage* of life, though
he was very careless la bis dress and
would set several barbera to -work
upon his hair together, and would
sometimes dip and oometimes share
hi* beard, and at the same time
! would bo reading or writing."
Augustus, though emperor,
himself a democrat: and, says
jtolns, “always abhorred the title of
.lord as * scandalous affront" He
| tells us, too, that the emperor caught
cold easily aad wore woolen under-
{wear In winter, "with n thick wool
toga.”
: This broken statue, with tbe base
Ion which It stood, unearthed after so
long bridges the gulf of centuries and
brings one of tbe greatest rulers the
world ever saw very near.
Henry Detwiler, Native of Switzerland,
the First to Fractice Hcmsonathv
in America. ,
Among the first, if not the first, to
successfully practice homeopathy in
America was Henry Detwiler, who
was horn In Lnngenbruck, Switzerland,
December IS, 1795.
He studied medicine a number of
years before he came to this country
on a vessel containing -100 French ref
ugees who left their country after the
defeat of Napoleon Bonaparte. He was
appointed ship physician, and success
fully treated an epidemic of dysentery
which had broken out during the pas
sage.
Coming to t Pennsylvania, he settled
In the LelUgh Valley, and gained promi
nence by treating a large number of
people who were attacked with a mys
terious disease which lie finally diag
nosed ns bilious colic, resulting from
eating apple butter.
" He early mude a study of the sys
tem, of medicine founded by Hahne
mann. and In 1823 dispensed the first
remedy In Pennsylvania, In accordance
with the law of similars, and during
the remainder of his life was a devoted
homeopathist. ,
Doctor Detwiler formed an Intimate
acquaintance with Hahnemann, who
gave him a wonderful reception in
Paris, where he met other noted phy
sicians and scientists. He gave many
nat» ra l history specimens to various
colleges, founded an Iron Industry and
finally dlc<F at the' advanced age of
ninety-two.—’Chicago Journal.
‘HILL 60’ BOUGHT BY BREWER
Hotel May Be Erected on Ground In
France, That Will Hold Immortal
Memories.
•
“Hill 00," whose record Is written In
British hearts with the blood of her
young army, has been sold to a brew
er.
'It la expected," says the London
Times, “that a hotel will be erected
there. From battleground of Immor
tal memory to hostelry Is a fate which
may be deplored, but It Is possible,
even probable, that by an enterprise
however foreign to sentiment, all that
la associated with the place may be
preserved.
Hill 00,” snered with the memories
of Loos and of many a subsequent re
surgence of the tide of battle, conse
crated as few other spots of earth
have been by repeated baptisms of
heroic blood, long ceased to be a hill.
It was held, as one commanding offi
cer reported, geographically, though
Its military value had been utterly de
stroyed.
"The 'hill' Itself was blasted to dust
long before the struggles for Its pos
session had ended. Ita name will en
dure as long as British history, and It
la perhaps as well that a monument
Should mark the site of so many
heroisms, even If the monument pre
sents a commercial aspect."

New York.—Bolshevism will .never
take root In the miles of ruins along
1 the Alsne as long as the morale of the
French Is kept high while the. people
are rebuilding and replanting, asserts
John Kendrick Bangs. It Is better
to build up a human soul than to re
store a rained chateau, the well-known
writer and lecturer epitomizes.
Speaking from observation* mad# In
two trips of lnipection through the
regions which remain almost aa
wrecked and desolated as the Ger
man* left them, he declares the work
don* by the American Committee for
Devastated France to be moat Import-
tant In steadying the population dur
ing the reconstruction period.
Fear* Would B* Allayed.
“In restless timet like these,” said
Mr. Bangs, "when the great bogey of
Bolshevism la being reared every
where to frighten the timid Into all
sorts of compromise* with conscience,
I sometime* wish that every influen
tial factor In America could be trans
ported to Europe to see for them
selves exactly how matters stand over
there. I think a great many of their
fears would be allayed, end that they
would find that Bolshevism Is to be ap
prehended only where there exist no
standards of any sort by which the
poor and Ignorant can measure Its
shoitcomlng*.
"That It should succeed la Russia
la easily accounted for by tbe utter
Illiteracy of over 00 per cent of the
population.
"If there were eny real feer of Bol
shevism temporarily triumphant out
side of Russia we might with greater
reason look for It la countries s* dev
astated by war as to leave their peo
ples In a state of hopeless deepalr,
and It is to the relief of those, rather
than to that of the unscarred, that we
ahould turn our attention, carrying to
them not only material relief, but that
moral support for which dvUlaatten
la supposed to atand.

Spain la one of the greatest Iron-
ore centers of the wdrid, shipping ore
heavily to other European • countries,
as well as to the United States, and
while It has some large. Iron and steel
works, Its output of the finished prod
uct has never been commensurate with
Its ore developments. Now, however,
there Is a well-defined project of the
Krupps to aft up a great branch at
BUboa, Spain, to manufacture agricul
tural machinery for the purpose of
driving out of the market American
companies who now have a large share
of this business.
