LARGE PRE-ROMAN
CITY UNCOVERED
U. S. Scientists Make Im-
portant Find in Italy. |
Rome.—American scientific skill has
gnearthed at Minturno a vast pre-Ro-
man city four times as large as Pom- |
pell. It has priceless treasures in art |
and incalculable contributions to the
knowledge of pre-Christian times, The
excavations are being conducted by
an American expedition under the
auspices of the University of Pennsyl-
yania and headed by Dr. Jotham John
«on of Philadelphia.
Precious objects of unknown value
are yet expected to be found in the
pecropolis of this buried city, where
the tombs are filled with rich treas-
gre in gold and precious stones, so the
ercheologists believe.
After an inspection of the city with
others, Doctor Johnson who described
the great temples and ancient public
puildings which he had so far brought
to light.
Fifth Century B. C.
whe city of Minturno dates back to
she Fifth century B. C,” =aid Doctor
|
|
Johnson. “We have discovered works
of art from that far distant period, |
which show a Greek influence. The |
city evidently was brought under Ro- |
man domination about the Third cen- |
tury B. C. and from then on until the |
Tenth century {it suffered many |
ehanges, Probably it embraced Chris-
tianity about the Fifth century.”
The concession to conduct excava |
gions in Italy was the first granted |
a foreign organization in thirty years, |
while the territory assigned to the ex-
pedition is regarded as one of the rich- |
est in the field of archeology.
The buried city is located ninety |
miles from Rome and was touched by
the ancient Appian way, several hun-
dred yards of which the expedition |
bas uncovered in its orgnal form, wth |
the big flagstones of Roman roads. |
Greek Market Place.
Doctor Johnson exhibited a Greek |
market place, which, he said, was |
snique In the world and that such a |
find did not exist, so far as was known, |
even in Greece itself.
“We have uncovered fifteen
structions,” said Doctor Johnson. |
“Some of the city walls must be of |
the Fifth century B. O., while there
are others of the Fourth. There is a
eolonnade of the late Fourth century
B. C. and three temples of fhe Third |
snd First centuries B. C. There is a |
temple of the period of Augustus. An-
other temple is of the period of Sulla,
with a tremendous sanctuary wall. |
There is a Second century A. D. foun-
tain or water clock. There are the |
buge amphitheater, shipyards and |
docks. and the aqueduct, the latter
standing ahove the ground for cen- |
turies.”
Digging Well, He Finds
Richest Radium Field
Vienna.—7The richest radium field in
Surope has been discovered at Neu-
baus, near Linz, in upper Austria, by
a water diviner, Herr Franz Niegl.
A peasant, Franz Maier, about te
dig a well, summoned Heir Niegl, who,
wsing an old silver wateh on a silver
ehain as a pendulum, obtained such
violent reactions that he guaranteed
iat an abundance of water would be
found nine feet down. When borings
were made twice this depth without
any sign of water, the puzzled diviner
sent samples of the earth to the gov-
emment research Institute in Vienna.
The institute announces that the
earth has the highest radium content
yet discovered in Europe. Tt is stated
that 11.000 tons would yield a kilo |
gram of pure radium. The: field is
buried; only ' nine feet down,. has a
depth of from four to eight feet, and
oxtends a considerable distanee.

IS LEFT-HANDEDNESS
A NORMAL ATTRIBUTE?
Many people, including certain
eminent psychologists, have long be-
lieved that right-handedness is a sign
of physical, and mental normality
and that the great majority of left-
handed people become so through the
| ignorance and carelessness of par-
| ents.
“You do miss your family and— |
she old home?’ he asked when, in
his heart, he knew very well what it
was that they were both missing.
Gracia nodded. “I seem to need
something more in my life,” she whis
pered.
“T know,” he said. “I have always
gnown that some day you would un
derstand. I have had faith, Gracia.”
But one thing she would not da

| theory, but Dr. Ira S. Wile,
Perhaps there’s something in this
of the
faculty of Mt. Sinai Hospital, in New
| York City, doesn’t believe it. He has
[
done a little investigating for him-
self and has arrived at the interest-
ing conclusion that left-handed chil-
dren were born so perfectly normal
and natural in that respect.
And, what's more important, if Dr.
Wile is right, it is all wrong to at-
tempt to make over left-handed chil-
dren so that they will become right-
handed, ;
«Research has shown,” said Dr.
Wile to a recent gathering of psy-
chiatrists, “that attempts to force
the unnatural use of the right hand
have caused behavior disorders such
as irritability, lying and theft.
“We have many persons to believe
that left-handed ‘persons have their
nervous systems focused toward the
left sides of their bodies. They see
more keenly with their left eyes. It
is abnormal for such people to be
made right-handed by practice. They
should be allowed to stay as nature
made them, for left-handedness is
just as natural and normal as right
handedness.”
