A German who visited Pompeii writes
as follows concerning the bread discov-
cred there: "In one room are shown in
well closed glass cases, side by side with
some precious objects, the oldest bread,
which was found in an oyen--of which

bread is round and has four cuts, and
may have weighed when fresh about
three OF four pounds. To this day bread
like this is baked in Naples and the neigh
borhood, a proof of how little advanced
the bakers trade is in the south of Italy.
Our guide assured me that some Of this
bread had been sold to foreign museums
for enormous sums of money, and that
before me would not be sold at all, no
matter what was the price offered. Hav-

Some Notable Reproductions Of Ideas In
Literature Inexorab1e.
All great writers have initiated here
and there, but always consciously and.
for their own amusement solely. Many
Of these reprod auctions have been very
brilliant, but upon no one Of them has
the fame of an author ever rested When
Coleridge wrote his remarkable para
phrase of the Bible, The Wanderings Of
CAIN" it was undoubtedly an event in
the literary world, and brought him
great praise; but if Coleridge had never
written "Cristabel,r or tThe Ancient
Mariner" or '.Kubla Khan, what niche
in iterature's temple would Coleridge
occupy today? Byron, in his Heaven
and Earth" wrote description of the
flood which for dramatic power, vivid
portrayal and stupendous strength, far
exceeds the Bibles picture; but because
the flood had been the Bibles peculiar
property for hundreds Of years before
Byron was born, SO it will continue to
hold its rights to the end of time.
To come down in the scale, Est. Elmo"

to the popularity of "Jane Eyre" and

about themselves that it has become an

Great original genius is only recog-
nized and admitted after a desperate
fight, because there is no greater coward
than the intellectual public. TIE well
furnished and critical brain has every
shelf Of its cells fitted up with the lore
upon which centuries or generations Of
public approval have set their seal. 1t
knows that to admire that choice library
is both safe and proper; it gives one dig

thing, therefore, which is radically diff
ferent from the inhabitants of those
precious shelves must perforce be worth.

People do not stop to compare or even
to remember the difference between the
succeeding literatures of past gener-
atoms. Think of the monotony Of the
worlds letters if no original minds had
ever come to break loose from traditions,
inaugurate new schools and plant new
ideas! Suppose the glorious galaxy now
Illuminating our past had succumbed to
the inevitable fire of public protestation,
what sort of literature would we have
today? Unquestionably the literature Of
one generation, even Of one decade, is
the natural result of the literature i'm
mediately preceding it; evolution is in.

1t Causes Much Talk and Speculation Among
Officers at New York.
NEW YORK, March 5.-The Times says that
the reported fight between a German n
an American man-of-war off Samoa, re-
ferred to in yesterdays dispatches, was
the subject of considerable comment among
naval officers. One and all are of the Opin-
ion that if the German cruiser Olga came in
contact with any vessel at the island it
must have been with the Little Nipsic, or,
possibly, with the Trenton. Although the
Vandalia and Trenton are due in Samoa by
this time, it is not known whether either of
the vessels has completed the passage. Ma
val officers nave been laying wagers on the
result of the race between the two ships.
The Trenton and Vandalia left for
Samoa about the same time, the Trenton
starting from Panama with Admiral KIM
berly on board, and the Vandalia from San
Francisco, with Capt. c. n. SchOOnmaker
in command. Both vessels have good speed
records. and it has been stated that the
race would be a close one, with perhaps the
slightest advantage i'm favor of the Van
dalia. The Nipsic has been at Samoa, I'M
der the command of Commander Mullan,
ever since this officer relieved the Adams
naval officers to understand how an
American vessel could be so in
suited by the Germans. laboring, as
they are, under the excitement of
the time, as to warrant the placing ola shot
unpleasantly near them. If the Germans
resented the shot of warning by firing. one
of their ship batteries in return, nothing
would be likely to restrain the Americans
from discharging a broad-side in return.
1t was well known, before the Adams was
relieved by the Nipsic. that the former YES
sci was compelled to keep. her decks
cleared for action and the positions
so selected as to enable her to keep a gun
constantly trained on the Germans. If a
fight has occurred it is more than likely
that the little Nipsic has had q hand in it.
