SITE OF SODOM FOUND JERUSALEM, Dec. 31. The Pontificial Biblical Institute’s excavations have resulted in the discovering of the site of Sodom, one of the Cities of the Plain mentioned in Genesis. The remains urq situated in the eastern plain of Jordan, approximately five miles north of the Dead S’ea, and contain pottery and other articles, showing that the city was built early in the bronze age and therefore was more ancient than ■Jericho, but possessed of an advanced type of civilisation. The excavations prove that the city was destroyed by a great fire and had been uninhabited since.
