HAS soPHocLEs' SKULL.
A Buffalo Man Securesa Relic of thu Poet
and Dramatist

BUFFALO, N. V, Aug, 1o.-A skull,
presumably that of Sophocles, the
great master OF Greek tragedy, is
owned by DR.. Herman Mynter, of this
city. 1t was sent him by his brother,
Prof. Ludwig Mynter. general director
of the royal possessions of Greece and
an enthusiastic archmologist, for exhi-
bition at the worlds fair. That it is
actually that of the Greek poet and
dramatist rests upon strong circum-
stantial evidence. An old classic says
Sophocles was buried in bis family
grave eleven staddi from the fortiticil-
tions of Del1eleia and south of a
certain road. For q long time archie
ologists hunted this spot unsucccss-
fully. Dir. Mynter's brother thought
that they failed because they measured
up hill and down dale. Eleven stadii
being n mile, there was much oppor-
tunity for mistake. lie measured as
the crow flies and set men at work. and
they soon found n heavy wall, and in
front of it two marble sarcophagi and
one of sandstone. He telegraphcd for
the king, and they opened these sarco-
phugi One of them contained this
skull. Greek archeologists have ex-
amined it and say it is that of an old
man of u distinct Greek type, of man
who died in the second half of his
life. Sophocles died at the age
of 81 years. Mynter believes this is
the head of Sophocles because the grave
is the same distance from the wall and
south of the road as described in the
old work. 1t is a family grave. Sopho-
cles died in Athens and .he sarcoph-
agus in which the skull was found was
made from the marble of Hymettus, a
place near Athens. The wall is made
In the same way as the wall from
Athens to the Pir;eus. which was built
in Sophocles' lifetime. The work also
speaks of n certain curved walking
stick, and such one was found in the
grave. There was no name found, but
old people still remember that fifty
years ago, before the Turks harried the
coantry, on top of the wall was a
square marble foundation on which
was a Greek inscription. The same
work speaks of this, and says on top OF
this marble was IL copper swallow,
which the residents also remember see

THEY WILL NOT FILIBUSTER.
Silver Men Intimate That They

resentativs Harter Gives His View,
1.-Two Important Things.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1O.-The anti-sil.
yer men have been led to expect by the
expression of those silver men with
whom they have conferred regarding
the proposed agreement for prompt
discussion of the question, that no fill
clustering would be countenanced.
There may be an attempt said
Representative Harter, ono of
.he leading anti-silverites, this
morning, ''on the part of few radical
silver advocates to delay the inevita-
bic, simply for delay, and If their oppo-
sition shall prove to be purely for OBJ
structive purposes, there will be no
trouble in securing the signatures of a
large majority of the democrats on
the floor to request for the
committee on rules to report a
closure" Mr.. Harter says there are two
other things beside the repeal of the
silver purchase law us recommended by
President Cleveland, and two only, ab-
solutely essential to the complete re-
turn of confidence and the rapid
growth of prosperity. 1.-The first is to
give national banks the right to
issue notes up to the par
Ndiuc VI lhclf DOnuS-d SGlll more I'M

Of tho treasury, with the approval of
the president, the right to sell United

terms he sees fit in order to maintain

able Extra Work.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-Larger and
larger grows the total number of sus-
pended pensions. The figures that rep-
resent the work OF the suspension sec
ton of the finance division of the
bureau huctuate daily, but the average
per day thus far has been between 14o
and 15o The average per day for last
week, however, was 1913. The total
number of suspensions ordered on Sat
urday was alo This made total from
the time the work commenced
to Saturday night of 6,037. The
total for last week was 1 ,153,
The decision of Commissioner Loch-
rem to extend the time for fling addi-
tional proof in suspended cases will
necessitate good deal Of extra work
for the file clerks of the bureau. At
present there is scarcely room enough
in the file rooms which are on the third
floor to accommodate the papers which
accumulate in the sixty days period.
The cases of suspended pensioners are
sent to the files of the finance division,
from which they are taken for drop
ping at the end of the sixty day period.
There are already $500 cases pend
ing consideration in the pension bu-
reau. This is the result reached by a
special inquiry undertaken Mt the in
stance of the commissioner by two
principal examiners and the various
chiefs of divisions Commissioner
Lochren issued an order in the early
part of last month directing that an in
ventory be taken of all cases then in
the bureau.
The total number of pending cases is
711.l5 The total number of re,scted
claims pending is aga, 356. The num-

Insects and Flowers.

A curious instance At what might
be called device Of Nature TO secure
the continued existence of certain
forms of life under disadyantageous
circumstances has recently attracted
attention in discussion of the bril-
%liancy of the colors of Alpine flowers.
1t is known that insects are most inn
portant agents in the fertilization OF
flowers and this is true of the flowers
that bloom among tho SHOWS of the
Alps rs well rs of those that cover the
meadows far below
But it has been observed at the same
time, that the bees and butterflies
which ascend the mountains in order
to visit the brightly colored flowers
growing there perish by tho thousand
in the sudden cold that envelops the
peaks and glaciers at nightfall.
1t Is only the extraordinary attract
iveness of the beautiful mountain flow-
ers that induces their insect admirers
to venture into tho perilous realm of
snow and ice.
Here, then, according to the view of
DR.. Jolly, the principle Of the survival
OF the iittest in the struggle for exist
ence comes into play. Those Alpine
flowers which possess the most vivid
colors succeed in attracting the insects
whose visits are essential to their prop
agatloh, while the less beautifully col
ored blossoms are neglected.
The result is that only the brighter
flowers are able to survive, and hence
the peculiar brillancv of the flora Of
ths high Alps.- YOUTHS Communion

The CHEROKEE STRIP.
The Interior Department Working Hard to
Have Il Opened,


WASHINGTON, Aug. 10. - Secretary
Smith, of the interior department.
Judge Lamercany commissioner of the
general land office, and Mr. Pollock
the chief of the division in the Indian
office, had n consultation over Cherokee
strip matters. A preliminary report ir
regard to the seventy preferred lots ir
the strip was received at the depart
ment and formed one feature of tho
days consultation.
The report was made, of course, by
Special Agent Dunn, who is intrustcd
with making tho allotments in qucs-
ton. A further and complete report
is expected III the next few days Until
1t is received, as heretofore stated in
these dispatches, there will be nc
means of naming the exact day upon
which the strip will be thrown
open to settlement. Secretary
Smith told Judge Lamcreaux and
Mr.. Pollock that he wished business in
regard to the strip to be expedited as
rapidly us possible. He said that he
was not able yet to fix the exact day
on which the would-be settlers in the
strip would be allowed to enter and
take up lands. lie believes that the
department will be able to put the
matter before the president IN such a
manner that the strip can be declared
open by September Is. at will take"
he said, ''some hustling to do this, but
| think that we will be able to ac-
complish it,
The interior department is receiving
large number of letters about strip
affairs, and suggestions as to what
should be done. One account which
was received here today told of the
lines of hundreds of people who have
besieged those locations ut which they
think the new land office will be To-
Gated. 1t has not been announced
where the new office will be, nor is it
possible to do SO until the president
proclaims it. AT some of the points
where people have formed lines in or
der to be first at the land Office there is
no intention whatever to locate land
offices.
