The culture and character for which she exists may be taken for granted g the incidents and episodes that figure in reports are of the surface, of the things that come and go.

His work at the American School there was carried on stead- ily and profitably, but the excavations at Corinth, the prosecution of which had been his much-desired object in going abroad, were inter- rupted by the Cretan war. During the summer Professor Emerson attended and took active part in the international conference of geolo- gists, invited and entertained by the Czar at St. Petersburg, and while ' 2I
