AN ANCIENT WELL
DISCOVERY IN PALESTINE. A discovery likely to reveal an important secret of the vanished cities of the Scriptures has been made in iPalestine through the plu,ck of p. young Sudanese girl named Salome. Salome's discovery was at Tell Duweir, where the 'Garstang expedition, which Sir Charles Marston financed, has been excavating. Sir Charles said: — "When Salome had excavated a shaft to a depth of 50 feet she was hauled to the surface, and workmen were sent down suspended by ropes. "After large boulders had been removed a well nearly 250 feet deep, containing 18 feet of water, was disclosed. The w:ell contains cxcellent v/ater, and appears to have been made at a very early date in the history o-f the city, probably in the time of the Hyksos."
