NO. 2 Treasure in the Sea An Italian company has been formed to recover bullion sunk in Vigo bay 200 years ago. It has found one of the old galloons at the very outset of its search, an anchor, a chain and some cannon having been brought up as evidence. The salvors have hopes of raising the vessel bodily and removing the contents at leisure. Vigo, a town in northwest Spain, was captured in the annals of English war. In 1589, the year after the invincible armadil, Sir Francis Drake, and Sir John Norris wound up an expedition to Portugal by capturing Vigo, burning the city and ravaging the country. It was in 1702, however, in the fighting days of Queen Anne, that the "afir" occurred. an old line has : 1702 brave Rooke did strew depts of Vigo bay with gold." France and Sir George Rooke, who had distinguished himself at La Hogue and afterward took Gilbraltar while in command of the uplied British and Dutch squadrons, received information that Where Men Live Long A person over 100 is a phenomenon in England, and his or her death is an event to be chronicled. All through Morocco, Algeria and Tunis, however, centenarians are as common as blackberries, and hale young fellows of 70 and 80 are regarded as being on the right side of middle age. Every traveler in the "Barbary States," as they used to be called, is impressed by this remarkable abunce of coromarians. A gray-raided man of 70, who is trying to sell curios to a tourist for thrice their value, exclaims: "By the beard of the prophet, may my grandfather die if what I tell you is not true!" Higher at his gray bear, you think he is quite safe in calling down that curse upon himself; but when you make inquiries you find that he really has a grandfather living, aged about 110, and that the old gentleman is still going about doing business on market days. Life is not wearing in *Middle Africa*. A man never does anything in a hurry there. Notually, he does not even grow old in a hurry. When Trees of Vast Age The life of man seems indeed but a transient hour, hardly long enough "to look about us and to die," when we compare it with the existence of a tree. In comparison to some of the sequoias Methuselah died in infancy. A United States senator has lately made public certain information received by him about the amount of history stored away in the great trees of California. One of moderate size, fifteen feet in diameter five feet from the ground, reveals the following experiences: In 271 B. C. it began its existence. In 245 A. D., when it was 516 years of age, a forest fire burned on its trunk a scar three feet in width. After 1,186 years of age, in 1441 B. D., the tree aged 7,122, received another injury. Another scar followed in 1580 and was not covered with new tissue for fifty-six years. The worst attack of all was in 1797, when the tree, then 2,068 years of age, was attacked by a fire which left a eighteen feet wide, reduced by 1890, in 103 years, to fourteen feet. These vast hisst oric crea Thieves Up in Science It appears that Germans of known bad character are allowed to escape on condition of leaving the country. England is practically the only refuge open to them so they flock here, and among them the expert German burglar visits us in ever-increasing numbers. It is said that Germany is the country of specialist, and that German burglar makes a speciality of his business, to which he applies the latest scientific methods. The extent to which the art of burglary has been developed is evidenced by the fact that ingenious housebreaking tools are manufactured, such as portable ladders, portable phosphorous and electric lamps, ratchet drills, sheet iron cutters, adjustable wrenches, and other tools of skeleton keys. Some of these are, of course, legitimate and necessary tools, not necessarily nor mainly used for felonious purposes. Some Ugo bees About bees. In old days the situation of a bee hive was a matter of prime importance. It was to be placed always on the roof of the hive and never in place where there were echoes, as an echo was very injurious to bees. A little gravel was to be put down in the neighborhood of the hives, as in windy weather the bees needed small stones to carry about in their flight as counterpoles. The bees would keep their head close-hopped, long hair on head or face be extremely offensive to his charges, and in at- Spanish gallons richly laden were then anchored at Vigo. On arriving there he found that the commander of the French escort had protected his convoy, by placing them behind an enormous boom formed of masts, yards, chains, cables and casks, but, undeterred, the Torbay, under Vice President Henry Graves, branched through to be nearly destroyed, however, by a fire ship. It is said that the latter still had its cargo, which consisted of snuff, aboard, and when it blew up the snuff prevented the flames from making headway. A complete victory was gained by the allied fleet. According to some accounts five gallons were among the prizes, and on board 20,000,000 pieces of eight, besides merchandise of equal value. Of the silver four million dollars, and of the goods about five millions. Four millions of plate were destroyed, with ten of merchandise, and about two millions in silver and five in goods were brought away conjointly by the British and Dutch. he is 70 he is beginning to get over the first flush of youth; he is no longer counted as one of the boys. But not until he is at least 90 does he expect people to pay honor and reverence to him as a veteran, and then he must take a back seat and listen deferentially when the hale and hearty centenarians approach. In the country districts the centenarians are even more in evidence than in the cities, and many of them are of the century. Many of the "marabouts," or holy men, who are to be found at the sacred shrines and tombs which are scattered so thickly all over the Barbary States, live to incredible ages. There is one at Marakesh who is said to be over 150 years old. His body is shriveled up like a mummy's, his face is the color of ashes, and the skin is drawn tightly over his cheekbones, like the parchment on a drum. Yet his eyes are bright and fierce, and he walks unassisted ever more morning, and they may long to receive the offerings of the faithful and listen to their petitions—London Express. tures are being treated to the fate which threatens so many of our forests throughout the land—the saw mill and conversion into the fleeting materials of commerce. The tree of which we have spoken, after defying storm and fire for over twenty centuries, fell a victim to the desire for money about three years ago. Only ten isolated groves of these trees remain, and only one grove is protected by government. ownership. The nation ought to own them all, and it is earnestly to be hoped that Congress will act favorably upon the president's request to buy two more groves—a modest enough ambition. Some of these trees are twice the size of the one whose age has been accustomed and must be fitted with fifty more trees, with possible long lives ahead. If Congress fails to save these ancient monuments and allows them to flit through paltry buildings to a speedy nothingness it will have added one to its disgraceful failures and omitted the opportunity to add one to its acts of wisdom and utility. - Collier's Weekly.

Oklahoma is taking in Indian Territory, while N. Mexico will lose its identity by blizzard, absorbed by Arizona. It is all the result of a bitter battle on the part of the Westerners for the right to be a state, with weaker grim and violent opposition, political and personal, in the fight. The vote in the house when the bill passed was declared strictly a party one. The state of Oklahoma must perfect its stipulated state organization, and on March 4, 1906, may send to the house five members and two to the senate. This bill appropriates money, sets aside public land for a museum, and provides rural marriages. The conditions relating to the admission of Arizona are about the same, except that Arizona will choose only two representatives. It will be admitted six months after the approval of the act if its citizens organize a state government in compliance with law at that time. The stipulated state of Oklahoma is fixed at Guthrie until 1910. That of Arizona will be Santa Fe. Arizona will be the second largest state in the Union. Its combined area will aggregate 235,500 square miles, Texas leading with 265,780 square miles. New York state, with its 39,170 square miles, might be lost to sight in the wide domain of its new sister. Oklahoma is not much larger than New York, having 70,430 square miles to her credit. In population Arizona is sadly lacking, but under the inspiration of statehood the wise statesmen of Arizona maintain that a few years will see her in close competition with all of the Western states. The population of Arizona is 238,341 and that of the state of New York is about a square mile of land for every resident of the new state of Arizona.

The territory has several railroad systems intersecting. Before the government purchased Oklahoma from the Indians it occupied the central portion of the Indian Territory, a great, fertile county toward which white settlers in other states had always looked with envious eyes. The crops purchased from Creek Indians and thrived on home seekers in 1889, a wild company of people gathering on its borders in that year ready to rush forward at the starting gun to reach the most fertile sections of the country which Uncle Sam was ready to bestow. Before the opening of the grant, Payne and other adventurers, were repulsed by United States troops, who patrolled the frontier. During the administration of President Harrison the opening of 14,000,000 acres of Creek land was proclaimed. Also 500,000 acres of Seminole land. Guthrie, the now thriving city, arose in less than a day with 10,000 inhabitants. Oklahoma signifies "beautiful country," and was rightly named. It is a paradise, a "boomers" paradise," again rightly termed. The first governor was George W. Steele, appointed by the president. Oklahoma is about the size of Ohio, and is bordered by Texas, Colorado, Kansas and the Indian Territory. Green valleys, great forests of oaks and silvery streams make up the country. Some of the plains are treeless and arid, principally in the west, but the other sections make in. Many indies what the western lands are.

Indian Territory was old before Oklahoma was born, yet it to-day is absorbed by the growing in-fant. Some of the principal places in Oklahoma are Gurthie, Oklahoma City, Kingfisher, Norman, Edward, El Reno Frisco, Reno City, Stillwater and Union City. Indian Territory was purchased with Louisiana from France in 1803. It was not settled, however, until twenty-four years later, being practically founded by the Creek Indians. As its name signifies, it was set apart by the United States for the Indians, a territory in which the tribes might pursue their natural course free from the influences of the whites, but under government jurisdiction. There is little snow or cold during the winter months; no days or weeks of rain; just a silvery, umbroken spring, which leads to a long and hot summer, though the heat, because of the dryness of the air, is never excessive—New York Herald. Letters Long on Way Letters Long on Way "Speaking of the curious routes letters sometimes take in reaching their destination," said an old newspaper man, in the New Orleans Times-Democrat, "reminds me of an extraordinary experience I had in 1901, when I received two letters which had been mailed to me in 1888, thirteen years before. I had been with a friend in Washington up to early in 1888, when I concluded that I would go to my old home in Boston. I remained in Boston a few days, going from there to New York. My movements were so sudden that he did not at any time know exactly where to find me. The two letters to which I have referred were sent to my Washington address, and, fortunately, fell into the hands of a friend of knowing exactly where I had been when I left Boston, he did not know where to send the letters, so he just kept them, thinking that he would finally learn my address and would send them on to me. While loafing around in New York I was suddenly seized with a desire to go to Europe and, without saying anything to anyone about my intentions, I boarded a ship and started for foreign lands. "For nearly four years I was abroad and during that time, while communicating with relatives and friends on this side I never wrote to my friend whom I had left in Washington, for I did not know his ad- No Human Life There The coast of Labrador is the edge of a vast solitude of rocky hills, split and blasted by the frosts and beaten by the waves of the Atlantic for unknown ages. A grand headland, yellow, brown and black in its nakedness, is ever in sight, one to the north of you and one to the south. Here and there upon them are strips and patches of pale green mosses, lean grasses and dwarf shrubbery. There are no forests except in Hamilton inlet. Occasionally miles of precipices front the sea in which fancy may roughly shape all the structures of human art. More frequent than headlands and perpendicular sea fronts are the sea slopes, often bald and tame, and then the perfection of all that is pictureque and rough. In the interior the blue hills and stony vales that wind up from among them from the sea have a summerlike and pleasant air. One finds himself peopling these regions and dotting their hills, valleys and wild shores with human habitations, but a second thought, and a mournful it is, tells that no men toll in the fields away there, no wom- Romance of a Farm A romantic story, one in which a number of stirring incidents are related, is told of a little farmhouse and forty-seven acres of land that within the last week have been turned over to a great church organization for an orphanage. The property is located on the main line of the Northwestern road, about two hours out from Chicago, and adjoins the little village of Nachusa. The land was handed down from generation to generation by a family of the name of Dysart. By a member of this family it was originally taken up from the government, and remained in the family until it fell into the possession of Col. Alexander Dysart, who for years was one of the best known citizens of this section. He was a man of some eccentricities, but beloved by the whole community. He raised a family of sons, three of whom were engineers, and three of Northwestern road now running trains. The colonel, during his lifetime, improved the old home, which in early years was a but a cabin, until it assumed the proportions of a fine country home. He Ways of the Mosquito That adult mosquitoes live through the winter is evident to all who have seen and felt them on the first warm days of early spring, says a writer in the Literary Digest. Now we are told in addition that larvae and even the egg of the insect may survive great cold. Says a writer in the Revue Scientifique: "It is well known that mosquitoes hibernate in the adult state; a certain number of these vexatious insects pass the winter in various retreats—in slaughter houses, granaries, cellars, etc., and in the spring they resume active life and multiply their kind. Hibernation, however, does not always take place in the adult form only; the larvae can also pass the winter with safety. This has been shown by the observations of John B. Smith made during the winter of 1901/1902 and at the end of 1902. The winter cold does not regularly destroy World's Lepers. There is one leper for every 500 of the world's population.

He had left Washington in the meantime and had come South. Those facts were, of course, unknown to me at the time. I never heard a word from him and never knew anything of his whereabouts until some time after my return to America; in fact, not until the year 1901, when I suddenly ran across him in the city of New Orleans. I secured employment here and was surprised one day to learn that I was working in the same office with my long-lost friend. "By the way," he said, when we first met, "I have a couple of letters for you which I have kept for thirteen years, since shortly after we separated in Washington—in 1888." He gave me the letters. They were yellowed somewhat by age. They were from two very dear friends and I asked my friend what had become of the boys, telling him whom the letters were from. "They are both dead," he said, and have been dead for a number of years. I suppose those two boys died thinking just a little unkindly of the death of a boy, the letters, for they never knew the letters had not reached me. It was a strange experience and one which had no small amount of pathos in it for me, and one, too, which is brightened by the pretty friendship of the man who had kept the letters all these years for me." en keep the home off there, no children play by the brooks or shout around the country schoolhouse, no bees come home to the hive, no smoke curls from the farmhouse chimney, no orchard blooms, no bleating sheep flock the mountain side with white feathers and no heifer loops in the twilight.

When the colonel was well along in years he fell in love with a widow, and against the wishes of his family married her, only to be divorced in a few years. Within sight of the Dysart home was the farm of Peter Burkham, sturdy German, the father of an in-law, and among the children was a daughter, Mary, who grew up to be as pretty a loss as could be found in all Lee County. A farmer's daughter, she in due time became a farmer's wife, marrying Henry Shippert. Both the husband and wife had not one but several farms of rich Lee county land, but after the body of old Col. Dysart was laid to rest and the property was offered for sale, Mrs. Shippert bought it. Then she proposed to the Evangelical church to build a church in a manner the little farm into an orphanage. The church accepted the charge and only the other day the home of the kindly old colonel was dedicated to its noble purpose. aquatic larvae. They will bear a considerable degree of it; they have been seen surrounded with ice, the water having frozen around them, and after the melting of the solid envelope they still lived. The same larvae may be alternately frozen up and melted several times in the course of the winter. This is true of the culex pungens and of several other species both of culex and of anopheles, etc. Certain species hibernate in the adult state; others in the larval state also; others still hibernate in the egg. But many have hibernating larvaes under the ice, and many under the ice or the ice, without the least injury. It may easily be seen that cold will not kill mosquitoes, for numbers of polar explorers have noted the abundance of the insects in the regions of ice, and it is well known that the mosquitoes are one of the plagues of the summer in the moist parts of Alaska.

Some Filipinos who undertook to enlist what they supposed were their privileges as American citizens, by entering one of the public schools at Louisville, found that they were mistaken as to what the privileges and rights of American citizens are when one is not "white." Poor fellows, they are doomed to more disappointments if they remain here. There are 10,000,000 of American citizens who were born here, whose fathers and mothers were born here, whose grandfathers and grandmothers were born here, and yet almost every right and privilege of American citizens is denied them because they are not "white." They are allowed to fight, bleed and die in cause of this country, under the command of white officers, they are allowed to pay taxes—sometimes at higher rates than "white" citizens pay. They are allowed to bear all sorts of burdens, but when it comes to enjoyments they are not in it. Despite the extarordinary efforts which were made to prevent the usual Fourth of July casualties there was still a very large number of them all over the country, many of them fatal.

Board of Education Decides That New Wards Are Colored. Louisville, Ky., July 6—The school board has instructed the high school committee to inform four Filipino students who applied for admission to the Dupont Manual Training High School that their color debars them from the privileges of the public schools. When the request that the Filipino boys be allowed free admittance to the school was presented to the board, Dr. R. E. Calvin inquired if Filipinos are not Negroes.

One of the Vegetables Which Lend Enchantment to a Meal. The onion is one of those strenuous vegetables about which one cannot be indifferent. One either years for it with a passionate longing or else utterly repudiates it and everybody who knew it never had to take one's onions at second hand it would not be so bad. If the law would only set apart one day a week for the consumption of onions and forbid it under penalty of fine and imprisonment — preferably imprisonment— at all other times, it would be a boon to the world. The onion hater would at least know when to resist woods, and how to stay there, comments the Providence Journal. As for banishing the onion from the kitchen, that would be a crime. There have been poets who have sung its praises, but perhaps some of the prose rhapsodies are just as eloquent. For instance if you want to crush your neighbor who regards your dish of onions with a supercilious eye, just ask him if he knows that the onion is called "the rose among roots." Ask him if he knows that "without it there would be no gastronomic art;" that "its presence lends color and enchantment to the most modest dish" to reduce the restraint dignity to insipidity and the diner to despair." It is quite possible that your haughty neighbor may decline to follow this hint and may show signs of being plunged into despair pending the addition of onions to his own menu. The anti-onionist is a. stiff-necked party. THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER. WASHINGTON THE CITY OF. MAGNIFICENT DISTANCES. A Collection of a Few of the Events Occurring Among the Afro-Americans of the Capital of This Great and Glorious Nation for Our Many Readers. Washington, July 7—In speaking of the aborigines of the Philippines, Gen. J. J. Cain, under whose direction the census of the Philippine Islands was taken, says: "The aborigines of the Philippines are believed to be the Negritos, and of these 23,000 still remain, though not all, of the provinces, living in a primitive state. They are very short, the males averaging about four feet 10 inches in height, while the females are shorter. Their color is white, and their toes are remarkably prehensile and they can use them almost as well as their fingers. The origin of the Negritos is not known. All of the wild tribes, except the Negritos, are of Malay extraction. The fact that the aborigines or natives of the Philippine islands are believed to be the Negritos who so closely resemble the native African, should inspire some of our students of history to believe that the Filipinos are of African descent. But if this is found to be true there are reasons to believe that the torch of American civilization, which now illuminates the dark spots of those islands, will be quickly extinguished. The average white American the possesses is not the same as it is to be avoided if possible or crushed, but regardless of this feeling it would be, even in this our own country, a difficult matter in many instances, and in all grades of society, to separate those who have from those who have not a mixture of African "Negro." or African "Afro-American" blood in their veins. Although not generally known, it is an interesting fact, highly incredible though it may seem to those whose intense race hatred precludes such possibilities, that there are men and women high up in the financial, social, and cultural life of this country, through whose veins course the blood of the despised race—not enough, perhaps, to show, but enough, if known, to cast a shadow of gloom over many a proud soul that believes itself "untainted" or who has friends or acquaintances a permanent "Negro" descent, for in this country one drop of such blood, strange as it may seem, determines one's race or nationality. One-eighth African is stronger than seven-eighths, Irish, which, to say the least, is a very pungent proposition. Yet regardless of the occasion taken, especially by the Southerners, who insist that they can distinguish by the hair, the nose, the eyes, fingerles, feet, etc., a person with one drop of the STRONGER BLOOD, we have frequent illustrations, right here the crime of mixing is the greatest, of associations of love and friendship. Another instance is the daughter of a well known Afro-American family of this city, who not a great while ago graduated from one of the public "White High Schools" and won a scholarship to a leading university. Another unknown is a teacher in a "white" school of this city. But why continue? Such instances are common in most large communities and will ever be. It was only recently that a white man in Milwaukee was found a pass for an Afro-American. Strange things indeed happen these days. Mr. and Mrs. Clas. E.

The Mexican was given his liberty. THE BOOK WORLD THE DOOR OF HOPE I cannot consent to take the position that the door of hope—the door of opportunity—is to be shut upon any man, no matter how worthy, purely upon the grounds of race or color.— PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT. Many new events—that is events which are not part of the work of that period are brought forward by the author, in his work which considered the point of achievement of no inconsiderable point in his achievement of no inconsiderable CIVIL WAR TIMES One of the most interesting chapters that we are one dealing with the relation of the Confederate to the Confederate Soldier." The author tells us that, "the important Confederate commander was a soldier who was a soldier; the matter was finally defended; the soldiers that the matter was finally defended; the bill authorizing the enlistment of the soldiers, was defeated by but one vote—desperate circumstances of the Confederacy became so visible that the leaders in the door of Richmond and the cause, "the Confederate" were forced for the black soldier to fight under the Confederate flag, but that before it could be defeated, the fight of Jefferson Davis was at hand, especially interesting at under its banner. There are other very interesting chapters in the book, that is clear, uninvolved and natural, and the author has written instructively. MONEY. BANKING. AND FINANCE. Bolles. B. Bolles. Ph. D. L. LL.

By Lyman Abbott Houston, Boston, and New York Houston, Houston Dr. Abbott made the acquaintance of Beecher in 1851, and was a close and intimate friend of his from that time forward. Beecher was a friend of Brooklyn, and is thus well qualified to give an outline of the character of the Beecher book, which he therefore not so much a history of the Beecher as it is a sketch of his life and character as he appeared to Dr. Abbott. reformer before, and during the civil war to tell in five chapters, full of historical material, the story of the Civil War. A POLITICAL HISTORY OF SLAVERY. By William Henry Smith. By Whitaleen Red. Two volumes. $v.o. G. P. Furman, small. $m. 5.00. New York: "A Political History of Slaves." by Whitaleen Smith. is an elaborated story of the contempt of the slaveholders, from the early days of the 18th cen- tury, to the close of the Reconstruction period in the United States. There is an introduction by Whitaleen Red, which tells of Mr. Smith's career and which gives quite an extended criti- ticism of these two very instructive volumes. Mr. Red says: "This Political History that comes from having seen many of the events from the inside as they occurred, that comes from having seen many of the events from having seen many of the subjects from access to much unpublished informa- tion, from access to much unpublished informa- tion, from access to much unpublished informa- tion, and Governor Brough, in the records of the state office held during a critical part of the Reconstruction period, in communication with some of the actors." juster justice will be done, in the history of men's ments by which a free people enlarged the communities to the communities and toading men to the communities and Anglo-Saxon means for the correction of wrongs and the better development of men's ments. The Greeley first among public educators, to Chase and Seward, Stanton and Welles, and to leaders of the ments, sisters, and finally to the peer, if not the superior of them all, and certainly the politician of the list Abra-Lincoln. In Chapter I, the author says: "If there was a thing conceived in the Constitution that slave slaves were depraved by the men who formed the Constitution: who, recognize it, were from Christian civilization, inconsistent with Christian civilization, inconsistent for which the colonies had contended, and which constitute the basis of our Reconstruction, from indentured servants to free-carrying servants that must conclude that they were permanently ment of that day. There was no state feeling that it was injurious to society in was no same dependent upon sectionalism as it was in the Constitution, all confidently expected: emancipation from Maryland, and it is not unreasonable to suppose that if there had been no indl贯ication would have followed in Delaware, North Carolina, Kentucky and Tennessee." "Opposition to the institution of slavery arose from religious convictions as to its moral and religious policies. The resistance of those who with Mr. Jefferson condemned it because of its religious implications, was important as his, or succeeded to the value of political forces; while that havengiven to the opposition was an important part in the creation of a third party. The Society of Friends led all the public prints as to employment the public prints as to employment the Lord Garrison, Benjamin Lundy or Chass, or moral influence for the eradication of slavery.

During the many years that success has greeted Gentry Bros.' exhibitions, they have kept a carefully compiled list of the cities and where their various shows were the most liberally pronounced. This city has proven to be one of their banner cities, consistently, in laying out the itinerary for the consolidated shows a date of exhibition has been ordered to St. Paul, and the little folks can prepare for a holiday when Gentry Bros.' famous shows united will exhibit here, July 11, 12 and 13. Mr. A. C. Howard of Chicago, inventor of Howard's Lightning Shoe Polish, and president of The A. C. How- ard. Manufacturing Co., manufacturers of standard leather dresses, dies and shoe polishes, was in the city this week and gave The Appeal a call. Mr. Howard's preparations were awarded the grand prize at the Paris Exposition of 1900 and they are considered to be the best that are made anywhere. The big department stores in most of the large cities handle Howard's goods. He has made an arrangement with the Go.den Rule in this city to handle his goods and this entertaining and unprejudiced firm placed a big order with Mr. Howard. Mr. Howard states that he now gets orders from all parts of the civilized world and the manufactory at 3544 State street is constantly working at full capacity. This is quite pleasing and is an object lesson, teaching the fact that if an Afro-American will produce an article that is as good or better than that of others people will buy it. Howard's Lightning Shoe Polish is the best on the market and though he has "his face on every box," it se.ls like hot cakes. TABLET FROM HEROD'S TEMPLE. Pennsylvania Museum Has Cast Taken from Briceless Relic Taken from Priceless Relic. A cast of one of the inscriptions on Heod's Temple, at Jerusalem warning Gentiles not to enter, has been recently added to the collection in the University of Pennsylvania Museum. The Jewish temple was sacred to the followers of that religion, and upon the big slab imbedded in the doorpost was written in Greek and in Latin: "No foreigners shall enter within the balustrade and inclusion around the temple. Whoever is caught will have himself to blame for his death, which will follow." It will be remembered that the Jews were much stirred up against Paul because he "brought Greeks into the temple and hath polluted the holy place." According to Josephus, these inscriptions were at every gate, but only one has been found. While Prof. Hilprecht was working in the Imperial museum at Constantinople as director he discovered the stone and had the cast made for the university.—Old Penn Weekly Review.

They are terrified to paralysis by the appearance of a poison snake (unless the terror be due to dread of the appearance of the serpent rather than to an inherited knowledge of its venomous power), but such intelligent birds as rooks will pick up and eat poisoned grail, and crows and ravens readily eat poisoned egg or meat. Chickens will eat the poisonous seeds of laburnum and die from its effects. Whether birds such as tits and greenfinches ever do so does not seem to be known. But wild birds are frequently found dying in gardens, though apparently they have been in good health a few hours before, and their death may be probably due to the consumption of poisonous seeds. Scientific Farming in Denmark. Agricultural co-operation in marketing farm produce became a definite, settled practice in Denmark about twenty-two years ago, and at present it has the most perfect system of agricultural co-operation in the world. Denmark is strictly an agricultural country, densely populated, and limited in area, and the range of intelligence, taking it through all classes, is perhaps as high as, if not higher than in any other country in the world. Agricultural exports have quadrupled as a direct result of the impetus given to production by co-operation, and Danish farmers are now receiving very much higher prices for their produce than any of their competitors in foreign markets. Ants That Hold Glaves. - Slavemaking is a trait of ant life which has attracted much attention. It is practised by different species, and while in some cases the slaves, belonging to different groups from their masters, perform the ordinary duties of the rest, acting as servitors, in other cases there is a complete dependence of the owners on the slaves. One ant, noted by Huber in 1810, was shown to be in danger of actual starvation unless fed by the slaves. A British species makes slaves but is not dependent upon them. It, however, carries off the pupae from the nests of the ants on which it makes its forays and the strange ants born in the nest of the conqueror takes up menial duties. Deeda answer doubts.
