Minor, where he was engaged for
about eighteen months in archaeology
cal researches. Professor Jacobsthal
spent most Of his time in Eastern Ar
menia, in the valley Of the Aras. In
O lecture recently delivered In Berlin
the professor says that, but two Of the
ancient monuments in Eastern Ar
menia are still in existence, and these
two are Of such highly artificial work
that one cannot find its equal in any
part Of Asia Minor. The smaller one
of these monuments used to be the
mausoleum Of Josuf Ibu Kutaijr, and
according to well-preserved inscrip-
tions, was built in 1162. 1t is an oc-
tagonal building, some twenty-six feet
In diameter and about thirty-four feet
high up to the roof.
The other one Is the mausoleum Of
Mu Mine Chatune, who was the wife
Of the Seldchuk Prince Ildegiz, and
was built in 1856. In its form it is a
ten-cornered tower, thirty-fve feet
In diameter and about seventy-eight
feet high up to the roof. The whole
exterior walls of these two monu-
ments consist Of the most skillfully
made mosaic: the various brilliant col
ors of the : 4 and stones are we'll
preserved.

extraordinarily hard layer Of clay, AM,
many of them have been colOred with
copper. Professor Jacobsthal says
that the magnificent mosaics Of these
mausoleums resemble in many pecu-
liarities those found on old buildings
near Venice and other places Of Italy.
The mosaics were made in the follow
ing way: BY mailing thin wooden
boards on their edges to the bottom OF
a wooden case, small narrow channels
were formed whereby the patterns
were indicated. In these channels were
placed the stones and tiles whilst the
space between them was filled with a
kind of plaster. The latter, while still
In a pliable state, was ornamented by
carvings. Professor Jacobsthal stated
that the ancient Armenians must have
been genuine masters in their work,
for the mosaic of these two monu.
ments Is unexcelled anywhere.

magnificent specimen Of the tiger fami'

wild sheep and goats, antelope, and'
what is considered by the Chinese one
of their greatest delicacies, the wild
ass OF onager, are common.
The northern deer park, in the noun
tains northwest from the capital, IS
one of the finest preserves in the world,
and contains a very large herd of
giant deer. 1t covers the whole noun
tain side and is dotted with pictur-
esque hunting lodges. The deer in
this north park are fine, large animals,
of a dun color, with magnificent ant
lers, somewhat resembling our Ameri
can wapiti, but peculiar in having
what the Chinese call mule tail.
Probably the commonest game bird
of China is the pheasant. Szechuan
is the home of a peculiar animal that
might be called a missing link" 1t
is species of ape, growing quite
! large, adults reaching four feet in
height. 1t lives in the mountains and
is protected from the cold by heavy
fur and name. 1t is peculiar for the
fact that it hibernates like bear, and
the Chinese, recognizing this peculiari-
ty, call it the run-hiung, or the maD
bear. 1t Is much sought for its flesh.
and its paws are priced as great deli
cacies.
There is so much swamp and lake
country in China that it is very nat
urally a great country for snipe aud
plover, while the rich feeding to be
found in it's great rice fields makes 1t
the home of greater focks Of swans
and geese and wild ducks Of all va.
rieties than can be found anywhere
else in the world. The Chinese a.e
great pigeon fanciers, and take adVan-
tage of the pigeon habit of flying ~
droves to steal from each other and
to take wild pigeons. They do this by
fastening wooden whistles on the tails
Of the leaders of their own flock, for
the purpose of attracting other pigeons
to them. The air of Chinese cities is
full Of soft aeolian notes Of these
pigeon whistles.
There is another method of taking
game practiced by the Chinese which
must not be omitted, and this by
means of trained falcons, The great
sport of falconry, once so popular in
all the courts Of the world, survives
strongly in China. Here hawks, eagles
and falcons are still taught to pursue
the quarry, and the great falcon mar
ket in the southern part of Pekin, IS

The taking Of game by the Chinese Is
chiefly by means Of nets, running
nooses and dead.falls. Quail and rab-
bits are taken almost solely by means
Of nets, which the Chinese set In
standing grain, and into which they
then carefully drive the game. For
larger game they use pits with trip
falls and nooses with weights, ar
ranged to catch the animal around the
neck and hang it.
The abundance of game in China Is
not peculiar to any part Of the en-
pire. In the mountains, both north and
south, are found great numbers of
bears, both black and brown, and
strange as it may seem, they are most
numerous in the province Of Shan
tung, which is one Of the most thick
ly populated and the oldest province
of the Chinese empire.
Tigers and leopards are also found
in all the mountainous parts of China,
the royal tiger of India is found in
the range of mountains which parallel
the coast from Canton north to the

Chinese were the first inventors Of
gunpowder and firearms, still their
shotguns have never been suficient)y
improved to be Of much service In
hunting. In the first place the Chinese
have never invented or used the per
cussion cap. Their gun barrels are
roughly cast and many of the cheaper
ones look as if made out of pot metal.
The lower end Of the barrel has Il
small vent on the side with flash pan
attached. Over the stock of the guD
is holder shaped like half bent fin
ger, made Of soft steel, and split so as
to hold a piece Of lighted punk or in
cense. To fire his gun the Chinaman
fills the fash pan and then, with his
thumb, pushes the holder forward til!
the lighted punk touches the powder
in the fash pan. By this time any
creature with an atom of intelligence
is mile away more or less, and un-
less something else happens along op-
portunely to receive the charge, the
shot is wasted.

A PROPOSAL on an Egg.

written in the neat handwriting OF

and beneath the address the gentle
postscript-always the best part of a
lady's letter, with view to matri-
mony." The proprietor, on arriving at
the establishment, and hearing Of the
singular incident, asked the assistant,
q young bachelor, what he had done
in the matter. "0h," promptly replied
the young man. II responded at once,
and the letter is already posted TO
