PURCHASED BY U. s. FISH COMMISSION
A Laboratory Costing $4,000 to be Erected
on Rivers Island.

Rivers Island, in Beaufort harbor, has
been purchased by The United States
Fish Commission, AMI upon it will be
built this summer a marine biological
laboratory. Scientists from various OF
the Union will spend considerable por-
ton of each summer there, and will
doubtless do work that will be of ma
terial benefit to the State. The build
ing is to cost s25, 900, and of this AMOUNT,
about one half has been raised.
Governor Avcock yesterday received
the following letter from State Geolo-
gist Holmes in regard &c the matter
II have just returned from Beaufort
NJ c., where / have succeeded in ar
ranging for the purchase of Rivers Is
land in Beaufort harbor, upon which i
to be built during the present spring
and summer hy the United States Fisl
Commission, a marine biological lab
ratory. At this labraFcry it is expected
that one or more biologists from Johns
Hopkins University, University of Vir-
ginia, University Of North Carolina,
Vanderbilt University at Nashville, and
the State Universities in Georgia and
South Carolina will spend a consider
able portion OF each summer season in
investigating problems connected with
the breeding and life history of the
marine fishes, oysters and other related
forms along our coast.
"This laboratory will be two-story
frame building of considerable size,
equipped and maintained at the expense
of the Federal Government, with all
modern appliances for such investiga
ton. The cost of the building with its
equipment will be about $4,000 of
which 800 for the building is already
available. The act providing for the
building was not sufficiently explicit to
permit the Government 70 purchase the
land for a site; and rather than allow
the matter to be delayed for further
action by Congress, have raised dur
ing the past few days $40C, necessary
for the purchase of the site, which has
now been presented to the Government
1T is hoped that +he results of this
work at Beaufort, which will really be
extended to the adjacent sounds and
/ coast regions, supplemented by the
shad hatchery at Edenton, will be large
| ly beneficial in the maintenance and
growth of our fishery interests in east
ern North Carolina
The work of the Geological Survey
in this connection has in the past year
or two been mainly IN helping to secure
| these two institutions for the State
and in actually cooperating in the in
vestigation of the oyster and other fish
cry problems. I trust that we may be
I able to continue this CO. operation in the
| future to at least a sufficient extent
/ to keep these investigations along prac-
| tical lines and to secure results which
will help in the building up of these
/ industries

BURIED HOUSES IN MEXICO.
Rare Discovery Made by Mormon
Arc aeoIogists in the Gar
cia valley.

\ dispatch from the City OF Mexico,
archaeologists and students who left
Provo City, Utah, nearly year ago on
an overland trip to Valparaiso. Chill,
have arrived here. They spent some
time in the Garcia valley, in he state OF
Chihuahua. where they made some ex-
tensive excavations and exploratio ions
of ancient ruins which had never be-
fore been visited by archaeologists.
Prof. lieniamiu Cuff who is in charge
Of the party. said: I'VE found great
number of mounds in the Garcia val
ley. the date OF which is unknown. In
the mounds which we eXcavated we
found some wel.-built houses made of
stone. well plastered and most of Them
having cement floors. The houses usu-
ally consisted of two to four rooms,
though some of them were larger. The
houses were always in groups or vii
lagos. never alone. The whole side of
the mount tain had evidently been under
cultivation, and every ridge had Il line
of houses. In front at the side of each
house we found wall or terrace from
one to six feet high which had been lev
sled and used evidently as a garden
spot. Down the hillsides and along ra-
vines we found these terraces at regu-
lar intervals. They had apparently
served as reservoirs for the valley be-
low. In the houses we found crockery.
stone implements and invariably char
of excellent wooden cloth and also of
flax or linen cloth. 1t is clear to us
from our Investigations that the cave
dwellers and the mound dwellers were
the same people"

AVERAGE MAN IS IMPORTANT.
On His Well-Being Dope m DIS the Prog
ress of Every CiviIisea
Nation.

The average man rules the nation,
says Nine. Sarah Grand in the London
Express. Elevate the individual and
YOU make the nation great. 1t is a
tfusm. but. like most truisms, will
bear repetition:
by contrasting the condition OF
countries in which the majority of
the people are gagged and enslaved
with that of countries in which wealth
and freedom are more equally dis
tributed we have learned the fact that
IL is not riches of the rich nor the
poverty of the poor, but the position
and the character and the conduct of
your average mere man that gives its
tone TO nation-the mere man who
asks but to be allowed to live as de
cent human being asks Tor a time of
love and affection, for wife and chill
dren-for a life of dignity, an old age
of pleasant memories, a happy death
"When that is the honest ambition
of the mere man of a nation that ma
ton must be great. Given the condi-
ton of mere man, does he progress or
is he downtrodden and oppressed and
you have the condition of the nation
and its place in the estimation of the
world.
This being the case, it is obvious
that progress depends upon the ele-
Walton of the masses, and il is toward
that end that all right thinking peo-
pie in power will direct their energies
in the days TO come-that and uni
versal federation, which shall make
obsolete the retrograde power of pa
triotsm, and result in peace on earth
and good will among all nations"

STRANGE wo0ING OF LUCK.
Nnmbers In the Nation

Ever since the assassination of King

are Sc. 10 and 40. the king having lived
for 81 years. 10 hours and 40 minutes.
If these three numbers should win the
player would receive 1850 times the
amount of his stake Some unusually
optimistic gamblers have tried to win
even more than this by playing fourth

regieide If this combination. Sc. 10,
40 and 10, were 10 win the government
would have to pay 10000 times the
amount of the stake.
The last drawing was held in Milan
a few days ago, and. singularly enough
the winning numbers were SO. 10. as

the mark, and as result Italian gam
blers are more determined than ever
to keep on playing their favorite COM
bination until it brings them good for
