The bill Of Mr. Lacey of Iowa, pro-
viding for the transfer Of certain forest
reserves from the control of the In
terror Department to the Agricultural
Department, and authorizing game and
fish preserves in forest reserves, was
reported favorably to the House. The
bill provides that the President 10
authorized to transfer by executive or
ders any Of the forest reserves to the
control of the Department of Agricul-
ture and all laws relating to them un-
der the Department Of the Interior
shall apply to them there, but the
Jurisdiction Of the Interior Department
is still to be retained as applied to sur
veys and exchange of lieu lands. nat
ents, titles and claims. The President
il authorized to set apart such forest
reserves or parts thereof as he may
deem proper for game and fish pre-
serves, and 1t is the duty of the De-
partment having such forest reserve
in charge TO aid In the enforcement Of
the game and fish laws Of the state or
territory In which the reserve happens
to be situated. Either department Is
given the power to establish and main
tain special reserves for the pnopaRa-
ton of special breeds OF American ami
mails. such as bison. The bill provides
heavy penalties for the infringement Of
fish and game laws, which will be en-
forced by the government in addition
to the state laws.

going to kill you" He pointed the

passing through the child's brain. He
claims that he had no intention Of

Whether the guard has deserted
with his prisoners, or whether the
sentry was overpowered by his charges
and lies in some deserted spot gagged
and bound, or perhaps murdered, is a
matter for conjecture, although the
trustworthiness of the soldier is
ground for the belief that an encoun-

DIR. REIsNER's LECTURE.
Very Interesting Discourse Along Lines
 AunlnnnInnrinnl Inr-nnr.nI

Very Interesting Discourse Along Lines
 of Archaeological Research.
 Dr. G. A. Reisner, a professor in the university of California, and one of the leading archaeologists in the country, delivered an address in Osborn hall at Yale last evening. A large and appre- ciative audience was in attendance and the lecture was of much interest to all and of exceptional interest to those di- rectly interested in archaeological re- search. The lecture was illustrated by many clear and effective lantern slides. The descriptions of the methods of work and of the work accomplished were made interesting, instructive and entertaining by Professor Reisner.
 The work described last evening by the archaeologist is being carried on in the valley of the Nile in Egypt. The expedition was originally fitted out as the Hearst expedition and is still con- ducted by means of funds furnished by MT. Hearst. The work has been in pro- gress for three years and many inter- esting and very valuable discoveries have been made during that time. The excavations have fbeen very extensive, covering acres and miles of river val ley. Specimens have been found which throw light upon the habits and cus- toms of the early dwelIers in Egypt, and these relics are preserved for the benefit of mankind. Dr. Reisner ex- plained the methods of conducting the excavations and told many pleasant stories of the experiences of the expe- dition in securing native workmen to carry on the work After describing the accomplishments of the expedition up to the present time, pr. Reisner told of many of the setbacks that have been encountered. In speaking of the fu- ture work, Dr. Reisner predicted many discoveries of great importance. He outlined the plans of the expedition and made plain to all present the value of such research.
 Dr. Reisner is now on his way back to Egypt to continue the work in the val ley of the Nile. At the conclusion of the lecture last evening pr. Reisner met
 many of those present and they all ex- tended to him their most hearty wishes for the success of his work in the fu- ture.
