A Remarkable Vestibule.
From the Chicago Record.


The walls and ceiling Of the vestibule of
Emperor Williams palace of Pottsdam
have been lined with shells, pieces of
quartz, agates crystal and other mlneralog-
ical specimens. 1t is an enormous apart
ment, sixty-edght feet square and broken
ny six huge pillars. The floor is of tessei-
lated marble and mosaic. The windows are
OF stained glass. but every other inch Of
surface on the walls and ceiling e covered
with geological and neurological speci-
mems. which have been collected from all
corners of the globe by the imperial min
eralogists and arranged under the direction
OF famous artist. The effect is UNIQUE
but ugly. Few museums contain q greater
variety OF rare specimens than are found
In this room. The members Of the iifpIo-
matte and consular service, the naval OFF,
GERS, the scientists and the travellers of
Germany. who are familiar with this fad
OF the emperor's, have sought his favor by
bringing beautiful examples of Shells min
erals and rare Stones from the arctic and
antarctic regions, from the islands OF the
!Ldian ocean and the shores Of Siberia,
from Patasonda, Lapland. from Burmah
ana the Transvaal. from the Andes, the
Urais. the Hfmalayas and the Mountains
OF the Moon. There is q considerable col
lection from the Rocky mountains in one
corner. which was presented to the Ger
man government some years ago by the
geological survey Of the United States.
MOST OF 1t IS from Colorado.

circulated concerning Gov. Shepherds
health. Prof Mooney states that Gov
Shepherd at the time was enjoying splendid
heaith. The family was annoyed greatly
py the Take reports concerning him.
Prof. Mooney brought back with him a
number OF specimens of the "peyote." The
latter Is most curious plant, botanically
considered. Although II has been analyzed
by few eminent chemists. knowledge con-
cerning its properties is regarded as yet az
being limited. One of its properties is that
1t produces stimulation, exhilaration. or
something which is akin to either of those,
out Is entirely without the depressing efs
fects which follow other chemical sub.
stances which produce similar enects.
Nhen the Indians use IT they become
wrought up to sense OF enthusiasm, dur.
ing which their religious rites are per.
formed.
May Make Good Medicine.
Prof Mooney declines to make any state
ment concerning the properties OF the
plant. though he is well acquainted with It,
as he says he wishes facts concerning It
TO be fully developed. He thinks. however.
the peyote could be made into a valuable
medicine. and might be used as a medicine,
anaesthetic or for other purposes.
Big Chiefs Photographed.
Wausnee. the Arapahoe chief. mentioned
In The Star of Tuesday. was up in tho
bureau OF ethnology yesterday. He was one
Of the Indians who Investigated and made
a report to the government officials con-
corning the use Of the peyote by the In.
dians in their ceremonisls. According to
his statement. he did not regard It's use as
best. Sitting Bull. another Arapahoe. had
spoken favorably in regard to the matter.
Andrew John. delegate from the Seneca
nation Of New York, who is here in the
interest of a bill in Congress. was photo
graphed with waushee at the bureau yes
terday. Full face and profile likenesses
were taken. SO that the types OF the Jiffer-
ent tribes can be preserved by the bureau.
This is n continuance of the work beg IN
under the auspices Of the bureau. The
matter of preserving the speech OF the
various tribes Of Indians, by bringing into
reauisition the graphophene. is n COM
paratively new thing. 1t is the intention OF
Prof. Mooney to later make a trip through
the southwestern section of the country to
record languages on the graphophone.

In 1917 Joseph Bonaparte's secretary,
Naillard, left Philadelphia armed with let
ters which represented him to be a travel
ing agent for Girards commercial house
and visiting Girard's correspondents in Hol-
land and Switzerland. His real destination
was the Swiss chateau at Prangins, from
which the king had fed two years before.
ard his real object to secure the treasure
which had been buried in the ground of
the estate on the eve of his fight. Maillard
found the buried packets, and with them
he would also have brought to Philadelphia

ITALY'S HIGHWAYS.
The Exploded Reputation of the Ro
man Roads. ~

Joseph Pennell in Harper's Magazne
The italian roads are being improved ev-
cry day, despite the burden of taxation un-
der which the country groans. owing to
its absurd foreign and domestic policy. The
best roads will be found in the north, where
they equal the French; round the Italian
lakes and in Tuscany. though all are ride
able save the old Roman ways. Laugh
ably, these have been often quoted by
American authorities as excellent exam
pies OF road-making. They were paved
from one end to the other with granite
BelSian-irregular blocks, not cubes They
went in an uncompromisingly straight line
from one point to another. They were re-
paired by putting other sets ON top of
them. They were worn into the most i'm.
possible ruts. as may be seen in the streets
OF Pompedi and bits Of the old roads about
Rome, and were quite unsuited for any,
thing but the clumsiest and heaviest traf-
nc To quote them as examples of road
building Is only to show that one is totally
incapable Of understanding the subject. The
Via Appia end the Via Flaminia, where
any OF the old paving exists are absolutely
unrfdable. The only use they serve al
present is that Of a quarry from which ia
extract stones for the repair of the modern
reads which sometimes run ALONGSIDE of or
across them. In fiat countries modern
road-buiiders have used them as the road
bed upon which to construct their high
Ways.

THE FISH MARKET.
Arrival of CnrEoes at the Wharf
Lately.

Lsatehy.
"Fishtown," at the foot of 10Th street,
was alive yesterday when the boats ar
rived from the seinng grounds down the
river The receipts of fish show that shad
and herring are virtually in possession of
the river, for very few of any other variety
were among the cargoes.
W. NJ Moreland, one of the heavy deal
ers in marine products. told Star reporter
that the catch Of shad this season had been
su all, compared with these of past sea-
sons but herring are about plentiful as
ever. The shad. thus far. he said. have
been exceptionally large, and fairly good
prices have prevailed. Present Indications.
he said. point to a successful season for
the fishermen down the river, and about
the only thing to upset their calculations
will he u sudden change in the weather.
The catch of herring has largely in
creased during the past few days, and
countrymen about the vicinity of this city
are doing their buying for winter use. Her
riLgs, during tine cool weather, are much
better for packing than they are later on,
when they are cheaper. Because of the
backward season, shad dealers are doing
but little shipping to ether markets, for
the catch at his time Is not more than
eroueh to meet local demands.
A few days ago some big catches of rock
fish were made at some of the fishing
shores. and the fish were unusually large
but since herring and shad have taken pos
session of the river, the rock fish are
scarce. Large white perch are also scarce
and very few bass are now being caught
In the seines. while great many of them
were caught . few weeks ago. Occasionally
q crappy appears in the seines while
a Few tench have also been caught. This
last is an English fish, and resembles yery
much the brook trout. Local dealers have
also received a few frogs from down the
river, while some of the largest frogs ever
received in this market were among to-
days receipts. They averaged about a
pound EACH A few swapping turtles have
also been caught. They will soon become
plentiful. 1t is thought, for as soon as the
weather gets warmer, lines for them will
be set about the swanlps and creeks. There
were only few oyster boats at the wharf
this morning, and from now until the close
plentiful ~
