In Capitol Park the other day a Hocl1

flight we'll kept greyhound that was
taking a quiet trot up the walk. The
feathered army, apparently at sig
nal given by one of their number,
swooped down on the unsuspecting
dog and struck him with their sharp
bills and claws on all sides, at the
same time giving forth sharp, shrill
and angry cries.
But his dogship was not easily
bluffed and started OH his course
through the park. This was provo
cation for another onslaught by the
feathered army and for nearly
minute it was hard to distinguish be-
tween dog and birds, the air and the
walk were so thick with hair and
feathers, but the greyhound finally
wavered, turned and fed, followed to
the Tenth and n street entrance by
the victors.
Perche1 on fence, shrub and tree,
the dog going down the street with
an occasional scared look behind him,
the birds seemed to say: "You want
to read the signs, and when they say
no dogs allowed in these grounds,
that's just what it means, and we will
see that the law is enforced, IL it
takes the last feather out Of our

But in no part OF this country,

seems to have been thickly peopled
ages ago by highly civilized race.
On the highest point OF the great
Potrero de las Vacas OF New Mexico
are the most remarkable prehistoric
relics that have been discovered, be-
ing no less than the gods sculptured
in stone that were worshiped by the
ancients. These are the statues Of
mountain lions carved from a VOL

in o rude and almost circular stone
wall, in a space OF fifty feet in cir
cumference. three feet in height. with
an entrance projecting eighteen feet
toward the southeast three feet wide.
The lions face directly toward the
east, are two in number, separated
by a space OF twelve inches, and are
each ak feet in length, and each rep
resents q puma. or mountain lion, in
the act Of crouching for a spring.
The heads OF these statues are almost
entirely destroyed, showing plainly
the marks OF the pious hammer that
sought their overthrow. The legs.

better preserved, and constitute the
remains Of the most remarkable

Thomas Byrnes, who recently re-
tired from the head OF tho New York
police force, WINS born In that city
June Is, 1912. He learned the trade
OF gasfitting and worked at 1t until
he went to the war in 1861 with Els
worth's Zouaves. He Joined the po-
lice force on December 10. 1865. and
was advanced by successive stages to
the SUPPLEMENTARY in 1892.
One Of the first orders he put forth
was one prohibiting any man in his
department from opening his mouth
about police business. Every story
Of crime and crime detected which
came from the Detective Bureau was
told by Byrnes himself. He made 1t
his business to teach criminals that
certain kinds OF crime must not be
committed. Highway robbery, bank
burglaries. or important burglaries OF
any kind. systematic forgeries, coun-
terfeiting and lot Of other crimes
were prohibited, and, to the credit Of
the system which Mr.. Byrnes created
to suppress them, haqe never been
allowed to gain foothold in New
York.
Byrnes was a man of force and not
finesse. His business was to check
the actions OF certain thieves and
other criminals. To do this he made
it his business to know criminals.
He did not 60 out In the streets to
talk to thieves, nor did he have them
calling upon him as honored guests,
he Has explained, but when they
were brought in to him as suspects
each day lie made them tell what
they knew.

To Please the Eye.

Here are some of the paradoxes OF
architecture. Ii column which
supports an entablature is perfectly
straight, itappears to lean outward,
therefore the architect makes it lean
inward. The perfectly level edge of
q roof appears to drop about the mid
die, therefore it must be raised
slightly at that point. A tapering
monument with straight sides APP
pears to be concave, therefore the
sides are swelled little. Corners
are made to look square by being in
truth little broader angled. Ar
chitects discovered ages ago that the
hnman eye was prone to deceive and
they have humored it ever since.

A manufactures in Europe did not
find satisfaction in any of the usual
methods for the lighting of his cloth
mills. He tried gas jets, arc lights
and incandescent lamps. all Of which
failed to satisfy him because they
either did not give light enough, or
too much light, or cast shadows. He
finally painted the walls Of his room

OF arc lights suspended refectors.
This threw the light up to the white
