Lantern Slides.
Mr. Tucker is making 200 lantern slides for Professor Wilcox. These slides are representations of Greek inscriptions, manuscripts, ground plans of buildings and Greek architecture, sculpture and painting. They will be used by Prof. Wilcox in his lectures to his classes and also in lectures which he will deliver before the Greek Symposium. Until a few years ago, lautern slides were not used in the University but now they are found in almost every department.
The Greeks.
At last week's Symposium Miss Williams read a paper on Schlieman and his excavations at Hissarlik, the supposed site of ancient Troy. Dr. Schlieman, she said, had been interested in this subject long before he went to work upon it. When but a little boy he wrote a Latin poem on Troy. In later years he married a Grecian lady, and at the age of fifty-one, began his famous philological researches. His most celebrated work is his excavations at Hissarlik. Here he found many remains which establish beyond all dispute that Hissarlik is the site of a very ancient city and Dr. Schlieman believes that it meets with nearly all the requirements of Troy as described by Homer.
It is situated on a steep hill, one hundred sixty-two feet high, surrounded by an open plain, and so near to the sea that a besieging army could easily reure to their ships at night. The plain is watered by two rivers, corresponding to the Scamander and Simiols. Between the city and the sea, there is the depression mentioned by Homer, and at three hundredpaces from the city, closed in by heavy masonry is the spring of cool water.
Dr. Wilcox said, however, that neither Hissarlik nor any other site meets with all the requirements of the Homeric city. Bounarbaschi in the same region, eight miles from the sea, was believed by many to be the site of Troy, but the opinion now is that Hissarlik is the real site and that Homer gave it some of the features of Bounarbaschi. If the two sites are combined the conditions mentioned by Homer are fulfilled.
