BRONZE MERCURY RESTORED.
French Experts Succeed In Piecing
Together the Broken statue
Found In 1901.

The beautiful broken bronze statue
OF Mercury, found at the bottom of the
sea near the island of Anticithera.
south of Cape Matapan, in the spring
OF 1901, has been pieced together by
NJ Andre, French expert. The task
has been performed so well that it is
difficult to believe that the statue was
reconstructed from numerous frag-
ments.
1t is rather more than life size, and
il OF the finest Greek workmanship.
II is considered to rival the marble
Mercury Of Praxiteles, found at Mount
Olympia in 1877, which has hitherto
been deemed the most beautiful statue
in the world
Apart from its singular beauty it
has peculiar value as being the only
cxtnnt example of an undoubted orr
ginal bronze statue of the fourth cen
tury before Christ. Other bronzes and
marbles were found at the same time
as the Mercury, but the marbles were
so corroded and eaten away as to be
vaiuelcss. The remains were found
also Of the ship in which this cargo Of
art treasures was being borne when il
was wrecked. The treasures were UNI
doubtcdly loot that had been acquired
10y some Roman conqucror, who is gen
eraly believed to have been Sulla.

garded as the effervescence of particu-
larly fiery soul. 1t was officially denied
in Washington that the President had
any such intentions. This official denial
was looked upon as a reputation OF Col.
Mosby. This view, however, was lnls-
take. The colonel is still in the employ
of the government and is industriously
procuring evidence against the men who
have fenced in the public domain and
tureed the lands of the United States into
cattle ranges for private uses.
Although Col Mosby's statement that
the President was about to send troops
to drive the rangers off the lands which
they illegally occupied was premature 1t
was not founded on amagination alone.
For the act of 1885 gave the President
the power to send troops to tear down the
fences that had been illegally erected
about the government lands. The act
also suggested less drastic emthod Of
procedure. That was to secure evidence
against the men who illegally occupied
the government lands and to indict them
in the United States courts That is the
work that Col. Mosby has been doing, but
as the process is long and slow, and in

mulcted of thousands of acres Of vallla-
BILE land which is thus shut off from set
Element it is not improbable that the
more drastic method may be employed.
1t is known that powerful influences are
at work in Washington to get the admin
istration to agree to summary methods
being used to protect the rights Of the
country and the settlers against the ;,g-
gressions of the cattle barons. AS an
illustration of the in&dequacy of the
present methods it is cited that during
last year 1913 cases of unlawful fencing
ct public lands were reported to the In
terror Department. These cases embrace
3,952,344 acres. In nine of these cases
the fences were removed on notification
of the government agents. But in the
remainder of the cases, embracing 81
$685. $50 acrs, the land is still in posses
sion of the cattlemen, while the eases
are going through the slow processes Of
the courts.

MARcONI SPANS THE OCEAN,.
First Long Wireless Messages Sent
Across he Atlantic.

Marconi has positively announced the
successful Inauguration of the trans
oceanic wireless service between Canada
and England. The great inventor made
the announcement that a message from
Earl Mimic, governor general of Canada,
was successfully transmitted from Table
Head to the Cornwall station and thence
forwarded to his majesty King Edward
VII. of England. A second message
was sent by the commander of the Carlo
Alberto to the King of Italy and a third
by DR.. Parkin, manager Of the Rhodes
scholarship scheme, to the London
Times.
SO gradually has the possibility of
wireless telegraphy been made known to
the world that the public generally will
miss the tremendous significance of the
announcement made at Halifax. To APP
preciate it better one has only to con-
slider that but very few years ago tele-
graphy without wires was looked upon
as something well out of the range Of
possible attainment. Even after it's prac-
ticability for short distances had been
demonstrated the idea of sending mes
sages across the Atlantic without wires
was regarded as the dream of vision
airy enthusiast. Marconi, it appears, has
succeeded not only in sending messages
across the ocean, but in demonstrating
beyond all reasonable doubt that this may
be made a regular method eff communi-
cation for practical purposes.
The achievement appeals to the imag-
nation not alone as another instance Of
mans conquest of material forces, but
as bringing new factor into play in
the social and political life of the world
Like the telegraph, the telephone and
the cable, the wireless system must have
its effect in bringing the nations nearer
together and making them more closely
interdependent In some ways it may
be curiously effective in shaping the
worlds history.

The worst fire which has ravaged the
business portion of Knoxville, Tenn,
since the disastrous million-dollar cont1a-
grafton of 1897, broke out at 80 O'Clock
Monday morning in four-story building
on Commerce avenue, directly opposite
the Central fire station, and occupied by
the Knoxville Pants Company In two

Commerce avenue, occupied by Broylcs,
McClennan & Lackey, agricultural implc-
nent dealers; the L. David Commission
Company; the immense establishment OF
the George Brown Hardware Company

and the R. H. Cattee & Co. building on
the same streets had been completely

Teer, Hood & Co., wholesale clothlers,
and the three-story building of the Da-
vies Furniture Company, which were re-
ported destroyed, withstood the storm
of flames and are but little damaged.
Brandau & Kennedy, retail clothiers;
w. t. Newton, jeweler; the White
Spence Trunk Company, and other retail
stores on Gay street opposite the burn
ing structures were considerably dam
aged. Conservative insurance men say
the loss will be between 100000 and
100000. Other estimates place it much
higher.

MAY BE GUILTY OF TREASON.
Charge Said to Hold Against Gertrude
Atherton, the Author.

AtherCOn, the AuChor.
Treason can be charged to Mrs. Ger
trude Anterior, the novelist, for her Ell
forts against the Danish treaty, in the
opinion of State Department officials in
Washington. Although there is no in
tention Of prosecuting the writer, it is
alleged that she is clearly guilty by her
own confession. Mrs. Anterior probably
did not know that the founders of the
republic themselves enacted statutes
which expressly define the crime of trea-
son and which make it criminal offense,
punishable by both fine and inprison-
ment, for an American citizen to carry
on correspondence with any foreign gov
eminent to defeat the measures of the
government of the United States. In
Mrs. Atherton's statement she makes the
positive declaration that she defeated
the treaty by which Denmark was to sell
to the United States her island posses
sions in the West Indies.
