A Danish scholar has at lust suc-
ceeded in deciphering the mysterious
laaaX'l lltll found upon one of the
two stone lion that guard the gate
of the old armory of Venice says a

more Sun. The Inscription encircles j
part nr tl shoulder and nanus or
Wetter reminding one of the cunei-
form characters of llabvlonjan writ-
ing. The Hons sculptured by an
'Athenian artlat of the fifth or sixth
century fl. C were carried from the
1'iraeils tit Vnlre by Francesco Moro-
ainl after his victory over the Turks
in lfls7. The inscription however
dates from the eleventh century and
is in Norman script. It reads: "11a-
kon with Alf Asmund and Arm has
captured this port. At the command
of Harold the Long they levied a
contribution upon the Wrecks aa a
penalty for their rebellion. Dnlk was
absent in distant lands; Kgll and
Kngner were on nn expedition in
Moesia and Armenia. Asmund en-
graved these runes with the assist-
ance of Asgir Thorleif Thor and
Jour upon the order of Harold the
Long and despite the vigorous protes-
tations of the Greeks."
History records that Harold the
Loin' in 1040 during an expedition in
the Mediterranean sea. was cplled to
aid the li.v.nntine emperor. Michael
IV. in order to punish the rebellious
Athenians whom he reduced to
obedience. Two years later he ap-
peared before Constantinople de-
posed the emperor's successor and
installed the dual regency of Theo-
dora and Zoe with the former of
whom. In IO.Vi. the Macedonian dynas-
ty of the llyzantine empire ended.
Twenty years later the mighty viking
fell at Stamford bridge in a fight
with his English namesake only a
few weeks before the battle of Has-
tings which established Norman rule
in Kngland.

There is a drug clerk near the
Coliaeum who has not yet recovered
from an experience he underwent
when the sportsmen's show was run-
ning in the building. One afternoon
two Indians who dwelt in their tepees
on the edge of the miniature tank
and lent an air of pictureaquenesa to
the scene entered the drug store says
tha Chicago Chronicle.
"Heap smell" said one of the red
men in guttural tone pointing to
the how cases where the toilet ar-
ticles were arranged.
The drug clerk looked puzzled and

(i I
itors regarded him with stoical
"Heap smell" said the Indian again.
The drug clerk reached into the
case and drew out a cake of scented
toilet soap. The Indian sniffed it dis-
dainfully first tearing off the highly-
colored wrapper. Then he cast it on
the floor and placed hia moccaain-cov-ered
foot upon it in diaguat.
"Heap smell! Heap smelt'" he
aid. impatiently. The clerk's face
uddenly brightened. Reaching into
a collection of bottlea ornamented
with pictures of violeta and roses and
other botanical specimens he drew
.one out. The Indian sniffed it ec-
statically and then drew from

The crow is the evil genius of the
turtle juat as of tha diamond-hack
and othar terrapina. Whan the warm
days f spring come and the female
terrapina and turtlea leave their beds
in the marsh the crow goes on guard
knowing; that a seaaon of feaating is at
hand. Moth terrapins and turtleaseek
the warm sandy uplands near the
shore to deposit their egga.
A hole ia tlug several inches deep and
from 20 to 30 inchea oblong white
eggs are deposited ami then the neat ia
filled or covered with sand. Having
neatly piled the aand over the eggs
the turtle raises heraelf just aa high
aa ia poasthle then cornea down with
a heavy thud on the sand. Thia is
continued until the sand ia quite hard
when the eggs art. left for the aun to
hatch.
In the meantime the crow baa been
on guard and by means of hia sharp
bill and strong claws the work of
breaking into the treasure house of the
unsuspecting turtle is quickly accom-
plished and the feast ia Boon over. The
crow ia considered by many to lie the
greatest enemy the tHamond-back has.
It is an easily established fact that
the crow destroys thousands of the
eggs of all kinds of terrapin not mak-
ing an exception of (he diamond-
back. OrasliiK Lands la Demand.

Contrary to the generally accepted
opinion it ia aaserted that more
steam vessels are now used on the
