THE LIoEs OF VENICE.
Success In Decipherins the Mysteri-
oua Inscription Upon One Of
the Ancient Figures.

A Danish scholar has az last sue
ceeded in deciphering the mysterious
inscription found upon one Of the
two stone lions that guard the gate
of the old armory Of Venice. says a
Vienna correspondent of the Balti-
more Sun. The inscription cncircles
part OF the shoulders and fanks Of
rletters reminding one OF the cunei-
form characters OF Babylonian writ
ing The lions, sculptured by an
Athenian artist OF the fifth or sixth
century p. c., were carried from the
piraeus 10 Venice by Francesca Moro
sinl after his victory over the Turks
in 1857. The inscription. however,
dates from the eleventh century and
is in Norman script II reads: "Ha-
kon, with Alf. Asmund, and Arm, has
cuptured this port. AT the command
OF Harold the Long, they levied
contribution upon the Greeks as a
penalty for their rebellion. Dalk was
absent in distant lands; Egil and
Ragner were on an expedition in
Moesia and Armenia. Asmund en-
graved these runes, with the assist
ance of Asgir, Thorleif. Thor, and
Joar, upon the order OF Harold the
Long and despite the vigorous protes-
tations OF the Greeks"
History records that Harold the
Long. in 1910. during an expedition in
the Mediterranean sea. was celled to
nid the byzantine emperor, Michael
~, in order to punish the rebellious
Athenians. whom he reduced TO
obedience. Two years later he APP
peared before Constantinople. de-
posed the emperors successor, and
installed the dual regency Of Theo-
dora and Zoe. with the former of
whom. in 1856. the Macedonian dynas-
~ Of the byzantine empire ended.
Twenty years later the mighty viking
fell at Stamford bridge in fght
with his English namesake, only a
few weeks before the battle Of Has
tings. which established Norman rule
in England.

INDIAN LOVES PERFUMERY.
one Of the Noble Red Mes POurs a
Bottle OF scent on His
Clothes.

There is a drug clerk near the
Coliseum who has not yet recovered
from an experience he underwent
when the sportsmen's show was run
ming in the building. One afternoon
two Indians who dwelt in their tepees
on the edge Of the miniature tank
and lent an air Of picturesqueness to
the scene entered the drug store, says
the Chicago Chronicle.
"Heap smell" said one Of the red
men in cultural tones, pointing to
the show cases where the toilet ar
ticles were arranged.
The drug clerk looked puzzled and
his visitors regarded him with stoical
anticipation.
"Heap smell" said the Indian again.
The drug clerk reached into the
case and drew ont cake Of scented
toilet soap. The Indian shifted il dis
dainfully. first tearing of the highly
colored wrapper. Then he cast it on
the floor and placed his moccasin-cov-

said impatiently. The clerks face

A hole is dug several inches deep and

eggs are deposited and then the nest is

the turtle raises herself just as high
as Is possible. then comes down with
heavy thud on the sand. This is
continued until the sand is quite hard,
when the eggs are left for the sun to
hatch.
In the meantime the crow has been
on guard, and by means Of his sharp
bin and strong claws the work Of
breaking into the treasure house OF the
unsuspecting turtle is quickly accom-
plished and the feast Is soon over. The
crow is considered by many to be the
greatest enemy the diamond-back has.
It is an easily established fact that
the crow destroys thousands Of the
eggs OF all kinds Of terrapin, not max

Gold and Diamonds at the Bottom OF the
Sea.

On tho Co,riS,. coast about five r,i.cs
from the Lizard. it is quite common TO
PFC up Spanish dollars which have been
washed ashore from the wreck of gal
leon that went down in 1884 with
large amount of bullion on board.
1t IS surprising that with all the mod
ern appliances for diving. Systematic at
'emptS are not more frequently made to
recover treasures from the deep.
As early As 500 great deal o; treas
ure was recovered including the his
'oricaI golden cup which once belonged
to Frederick, King of Sicily. from the
wreck OF one OF the ship, of the In
vlncible Armada"
In 1890 an American named Wi,lia,,
fhippS came over from Virginia 10 this
country. and craved the assistance Of
Charles II. toward recovering some
wrecked treasure on the coast of His
Pamela. Charles provided him it'll
snip and the necessary funds. but the
hrSt attempt proved unsuccessful.
In a econd effort he was financed nv
the Duke of Albermarle. and this time
ne succeeded in recovering specie to
the value of 100000, and after paving.
all expenses he was able to give the duke
the sum of 10000 as his share in the
venture.
The specie on board II. NJ s. Lutine
wrecked in 700. of the coast of Hol-
land, amounted to 100000. and the
whole OF this still remains at the bottom
OF the sea. with the exception OF foo
$50 recovered in the year 1880. At
temptS to recover the remainder are
still being made.
Diving operations re ulted in the re-
covery Of 10000 in gold from the wreck
OF the Inflated Royal Charter which
took place close to Moelfra. off the
Anglesea coast but 4 vast number of
diamonds are still lying about the wreck.
Forty thousand pounds in specie was
recovered from the wreck of the Ham
lila Mitchell, in the Chinese Sea. after
lying in twenty-three fathoms of water
Tor upward of twenty years, and foo
600 in gold was saved from the wreck
OF the Alphonso XII. which was sunk
IN twenty-.ix and onc-half fathoms of
water off the Canary Islands in 1885.
Some OF the French ships sunk at
Trafalgar contained vast treasure. Five
tons OF silver plate. excluding the IA
nous silver gates of St Johns Cathed-
raj. Malta. and ton and half of gold
plate. mostly studded with jewels. the
plumber of the Maltese churches, were
on board one OF these ships.
Not an ounce of this treasure has
been rccovered.-LOrdon Mail.
