DiOgenes' Tub q Wine-Jar.

AnOther harmless and familiar de-
fusion has been ruth]essly swept away
by the restless broom of scientific in.
vestigation. The tub of Diogenes, so
graphically depicted by Busch in his
inimitable "Bilderbogen," has been
relegated to the dismal limbo of dis
credited myths. Diogenes, so we are
sternly informed by German archeolo-
gists, never lived in tub at all. The
illustrious stole resided in jar-a sort
of overgrown earthenware pitcher with
out handle Careless translators, VIII O
have recklessly rendered the Greek
word for "wine-jj jar" by the compare
tively-modern substantive "tub," are
responsible for the error in which hui
manity has been SO unwittingly plunged
Tor ever so many hundreds of years.
Pliny assures his readers ancient and
modern-that tubs are of Gallo origin.
Dlogenes can have known nothing
about them. The Greeks kept their
wine in jars, frequently bottomless, and
thrust into the soil of their cellar
floors. SO that the liquor poured into
them might not dribble out through in
equalities in the lower rim of the am.
phora. 1t was in one of these bottom
less pitchers that Diogenes took up his
abode. Placed upon its side, he slept
in it; set upright, he walked about in it.
There is monumental evidence extant
to the fact that he chose for his dwell
ing a cracked and Clipped jar, unfit
for liquor-containing purposes, being
prompted to this selection by his hatred
Of anything like luxury or wastefulness
In certain districts Of Brazil, the abor-
igines formerly buried their dead in
jars exactly similar to Diogenes' earth
enware freehold; and these quaint cot
inns are still not infrequently found.
