New Boil Weevil Quarantine.

The new rules and regulations
adopted by Glenn ". Herrick, ento-
mologist of Mississippi and profess
o Of biology in the Agricultural
and Mechanical College, Starkville,
governing the importation of arti-
Giles liable to contain the cotton boil
weevil, have been published. They
are little changed from the rules
which were in force last year. A
rigid quarantine is declared against
the infected districts of Texas, and
the following parishes of Louisiana:
Sabine, Vernon, Calcasieu, Caddo,
Red River, Natchitoches and De-
Soto. Mr.. Herrick writes that he
will station an inspector in Vicks-
burg and Greenville, to watch the
lines of the railroads coming in
from Louisiana and Texas, and
says that he has the hearty co-opera-
ton of the railroads in the matter.
Mr.. Herrick further states that he
has just held a conference with the
authorities of Alabama in regard TO
the boil weevil quarantine, and that
the representatives of that State
have agreed to put in the same quar-
antine regulations promulgated by
Mississippi and to cooperate in ev-
cry way with the Mississippi author
tiles in keeping the weevil out OF
Mississippi and Alabama.

An Important Question.

State Superintendent Of Educa-
ton Whitfield has passed an impor-
tant question to the encouragement
for decision. Some time ago the
Supreme Court decided that those
teachers who had taught five years
up to 1892 were exempt from exam
nation. Since that time the ele-
ments of agriculture has been added
to the curriculum, and teachers all
over the State are writing to Super
intendent Whitfield to know if this
addition will vitiate their examina-
lions. The former decision was
based on the fact that the history
of civil government had been added
to the curriculum. The question
has been referred to the attorney
general for decision, as the State
superintendent cannot decide it. If
the adding Of this study to the cur
riculum, which was done by the last
legislature, operates against the
teachers, those who are supposed to
be exempt will have to be re-exam-
ined.

An Important Decision.

In the case of Amelia Stamps and
John Smith vs.. the State Of Missis-
sippi a decision Of f~ar-rcaching inn
portance, involving property valued
at more than $1,000, 900, was rem
dered by Hon. f. W. Collins, regis
trar of the United States land Of
flee, at Jackson, last week. An APP
peal will be taken from the decision
by the State, and the case goes to
the government land office at Wash
ington for review. The contest
ants, Amelia Stamps and John
Smith, made homestead entries to
$40 acres Of land in Washington
county in 1901, and while engaged
in p~erfecting their titles the State
of Mississippi interviewed and
claimed title to the tracts under the
act Of congress passed in 1850, con
veying certain swamp lands to the
State. The case has been in litiga-
ton for four years, and after re-
viewing the very bulky records and
documents submitted, Registrar Coll
Inns decides that Amelia Stamps and
John Smith have a good title to the
property. In Washington county
alone there are about 100000 acres
Of land to which title has been con-
veyed by the State of Mississippi
since the act of 1850, and all Of
these titles are affected by the decis-
ion of the land Office. These lands
in no instance are worth less than
$40 per acre, and some Of the tracts
are worth as much as 500 per acre.
The importance and far-reaching
effect of the decision is apparent.

Within the main walls Of the temple

Within the main walls Of the temple
are several narrow passages, with a
total length of 800 feet, the most i'm
portant Of which is the famous parallel
passage, 100 feet long. At all times
Of the day it has gloomy aspect, and
toward evening it Is wrapt In sepul-
chral darkness. The passage runs
from the main entrance as far as the
sacred enclosure, which contains the
celebrated conical tower, and has no
Of the interior of the temple. It is be-
lieved that this passage was the ap-
proach used by the ancient priests to
reach the sacred precincts. Cement
floors were uncovered thruout the pas
sage, and also some plates of beaten
gold were found lying upon them.
By far the most interesting structure
within the temple is the corical tower.
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1905-09-08

This tower has, ever since the redis-
covery of Great Zimbabwe, always riv-
eted the attention of leading scientists
in Europe. It is thirty-on feet high,
and it's circumference at base is fifty
seven feet, and near the summit thirty
feet. It is perfectly solid turnout. AT
the summit Of the tower and on the
east side are the remains of double rows
Of dentelle pattern formed by laying
slightly projecting. This is another
present in two other temples at Tim
babwe.
The recent excavations in this temple
have furnished ample evidences as to
the nature and phallic worship of the
ancient builders ard goldseekers. Ash
taroth or Almarquah (Venus) is also
believed to have been worshiped at
Zimbabwe. Ashtaroth was one of the
well-known gods of the Sabeans, and
the Phenicians, Chaldeans and Baby.
lonians. The worship of Ashtaroth by
the Hebrews, who were wont both in
times Of national distress and national
prosperity to fall back on their ances-
trail Semitic religion, was most severely
rebuked by the prophets,
Ashtaroth was always associated with
the worship OF Baal. The cOn1cal tower
at Zimbabwe-the truest evidence of
nhallic worship-is now believed to be
identical in purpose with the Penuel
tower or Face of God' of the INDIAN
ties which Gideon destroyed, with the
Baal towers of Samaria and Canaan de-
stroyed by Elijah, Jehu, Jehoiada and
Josiah, and also with the conical towers
of Baal Of Phenicia and Arabia, and
the Bel towers of Babylon against the
worship of which the prophets were so
severe. AS the Baal tower of conical
form at Byblos in Phenicia was en-
closed within walls, so we find the con-
ical tower at Zimbabwe is contained
within the walls of the sacred enclosure.
Can it be wondered at that this an
Gent temple is a center of profoundest
interest alike to scientific circles and
the public mind of Europe9 In Zim-
babwe, the South African co}onist can

decoration known to psychologists. It
is found in the cartouches or seals Of
the earliest ascertained dynasties Of
Egypt some 5000 years before Christ,
also on Phenician coins. This wave
like pattern represented in nature and

On the summit of this wall, and only
over the chevron pattern, are score Of
granite monoliths, and the writer has
recently discovered that on this length
of summit so defined by the pattern
were once erected number Of soap
Stone beams carved with geometric
patterns, also small round towers at
equidistant points.

the writer in 1908, and splendid flight
of stairs was discovered, and on the en-
trance floor. he found several ancient
gold ornaments.

because of repairs that are being made

docks back of the bulkhead. Along the
bulkhcad an excavation to the waters
level Is being made and then piles are
driven down to the coral. Behind the
rails, which are driven about two feet

in length are placed Then a fill OF
rock and dirt is made with cement
floor on top. The rails being used are
the first on the island for the railroad
company.
The huge rocks brought by the rail
road company from the country prevent
the smaller rocks from slipping
through into the water and Henry
Dennison, the wharfinger, expects to
greatly improve the lasting qualities
of the wharf in this manner. The
rocks are replacing tlmbers which
have to be taken out about every five
years. Mr.. Dennison expects to have

JUMPED WRONG WAY
TO ESCAPE ROLLER
AND 50 kEf Death

Testimony given by three witnesses
at the coroners inquest, in the case OF
Kahula, the Hawaiian killed at the
Iron Works yesterday, made 1t evident
that he sacrificed his life by jumping
the wrong way, when he saw the huge
sugar roller rushing toward him.
He was foreman of the gang and
was doing the most difficult and dan.
gerous part OF the work; by standing
on the truck directly in front of the
roller, where, with block of wood,
he guided the iron towards the jaw of
"a press while his helpers "pinched" II
along with crowbars. At fatal mo-
ment as he stepped backward to place
his block, his feet caught on a pleate
on the car and by the time he regain
ed his balance the roller had gained
such a speed that he knew nothing
could stop 1t. He jumped then, but in
stead of jumping to the right where
he would have been saved by the stan
chion of the hydraulic press, he leaped
to the left and to death.
