History of Babylonia Moves Back 1,000 Years. Philadelphia, Feb. 17. ? The oldest building in the world still standing above ground has been found by the joint expedition of the British muse um, London, and the University Mu seum, ^Hilhdelphia, at Tell El Obeid, Babylonia, four miles from Ur, of the fchaldes of Biblical fame. This was announced tonight by Dr. George B. Gordon, director of the University museum, in making public a report from Dr. C. Leonard Wooley, head of the joint expedition on the banks of the Euphrates. The excavation of this building, a temple, has moved the already -ancient history of Babylonia back another 1,000 years. The building is more than C.0Q0 years old, and its history is far removed. from King Tut-Ankh Amen in the past as the present gen eration is removed from him in known history. Dr. Gordon announced that the ex pedition hasj unearthed remarkable carvings, one of the choicest finds was a small golden sca'raboid head ' in4 scribed with the name of the builder of the temple. King A- An-Ni-Pad-Da of Ur, who reigned 4,500 years he fore Christ. This is the oldest royal jewel known. In the report describing the build ing, Dr. Woolley says in part: "A broad flight of stone steps led to a platform about twenty feet high on the South corner of which* stood the temple proper, its gate tower torn from the stairway. Its facade set back from the edge of the platform so as to leaye a narrow step on which stood a row of statues of bulls sculp tured in the round. These stood some three feet high and were made of thin copper plates beaten up over a wooden core. Their heads were turned out to face the spectator and their horns were of* gold. "Two of these statutes have been recovered, though in bad condition due to the crushing of the metal un der the enormous weight of the brick work which had fallefi and to the enemy hands which had torn off the golden horns. "Of the frieze of cattle lying down we have now a dozen examples. Above them was a frieze of a differ ent sort. Figures carved in white shell or limestone were inlaid against a background of black tesserae. The whole inclosed in a copper frame. Of this we have a complete section in perfect condition. Some show bulls, advancing in solemn procession. The most interesting, a panel four feet long, has on one side a milking scene, cows and their calves, and men milk ing the cows into tall jars. "Found close to this, but- hardly to be connectcd with it, is a limestone' plauq? carved in relief with a mytho logical subject, a man-headed bull on whose back is perched a Hon-headed bird. "An important discovery was that of two columns ten feet high encrust ed with mosaic work in black paste, redstone and mother of pearl. Both had been damaged by thqir fall, it Was found possible to preserve those remarkable columns, if not as they stood in the temple, at least as they : were after they had once fallen from it." Bust of Fin ley. A bronze bust of the late D. E. Fin ley, Congressman from the Fifth dis trict, offered the state by his family, has been accepted by resolution of Ihe General Assembly and will be placed in a suitable place in the state house.

In the last seventy-three years of the office ? from Lincoln to Harding? the average of its. occupants, includ ing the three victims of violence, was 01 years and 9 months. Excepting the ages of Liflcoln, Gar fleld'and McKinley, who died violent deaths, the average age of dead presi dents in this last seventy-three years ?tron\ Lincoln to Harding? is' 64 From this it will be seen that the average of a president's lifetime, .that wa6 75 in the first seventy years of the presidential office, declines to an average of 63 years in the last seven ty-three years of the office, excluding the ages of the three presidents who have not died natural deaths. Represented in percentage, this change shows a decline of exactly 1 per cent. ? ? - " Evidently, the average age ot tne presidents of the United States is fall ing, which may indicate an explana tion in the wear and tear of increas ingly heavy duties of the office that have struck ArtWir down at 56, Roosevelt at 60, Harding at 57, and Wilson at 67.?
