Water, 2,060 Years Old, Has Bees Found on Stove la Pompeii.

Naples, March s.—Highly interesting discoveries have been made in connection with the excavations in the ruins of Pompeii. A street leadng to the Forum, whch was closed at both ends by stone pillars for the purpose of excluding carriages, now proves to have been one of the chief thoroughfares of the city. It is lined with shops, the walls of which show inscrlptons and marble tablets, whch are well preserved. A great quantity of archaeological treasures of great historic value has been found and the investigators have gathered up a quantity of petrified fruit and meat In one shop a large terracotta kitcbrange was discovered, on the top of which rested ah oval copper boiler, in perfect condition, containing water which, the scentists say, has been there since the time of the eruption, nearly 2,000 years ago. ■ f ■ . i H* ■ ■ mmrmm I ‘ have just opened a new meat market next door to Frank Rowen’s grocery.
