Within the sanctuary enclosure, and under its solid floors, it has hith erto been supposed that there were water springs. Such is found not to be the fact, but, on the contrary, the whole mount is honeycombed with a series of remarkable rock hewn cis terns, in which the water, brought by an aqueduct from Solomon's Pools, near Bethlehem, was stored. These cisterns are con nested by a system of chanuels cut out of the rock, no that when one was full the surplus water ran into the next, until the Huai overflow was carried off to the Kedron.

Excavations have now been in progress for nearly three years. In spite of obstacles thrown in the way by the ignorance, stupidity, and enuniug of the Orien tals; in spite of perils from falling stones and poisonous air, freezing waters and suffocating heat; in spite of the superstitious of Turkish dig uitariep, the results thus far reached are most satisfactory. Iu fact, topo graphical controversies centuries old have been settled by positive discov eries. As au example of the Moslem stupidity which the explorers had to eucouuter, take the objections of the Pacha of Jerusalem, a well educated 'jfiilitary man, not wanting in brains. He assured Captain Warren that it was unnecessary to dig about the Holy City to settle archteological doubts. Mohammedan traditions were all-sufficient, he said. Sakhra, the sacred rock, lay on the top leaves of a palm tree, from the roots of which sprang all rivers. To pry into such matters, he thought, was a sure precursor of dire calamity. The ex cavations proceeded nevertheless. Jerusalem is built ou a ridge of rock which is the blackstono of Pal estine., It is approached ouly by rough mountaiu roads. The posi tion has great uatural strength. It is at the present time surrounded by a massive, well built wall. Five of the city gates are open; five are closed. All are ancient.
