ARCHITECTURE.
les Origin Was In the Primitive Abodes
of Early Tribes.

The primitive abodes OF early
tribes have left their impress upon
the architecture of more cultured
times, for various features of the
most elaborate buildings are pre-
saged in the rudest structures. The
dome is seen in mound dwellings
and in the Eskino's snow hut, slop-
ing roofs, in tent flies, many stored
masonry, in the elevated chambers
of cliff dwellers, pillars in natural
rock supports in caves, towers IN
treetop lookouts, spires in tent
poles.
An arbof formed by INTERVIEWING
the branches of adjacent trees would
in time be elaborated by the add
ton of branches severed from other
trees and of stakes to help support
this augmented roof. Thus would
be developed eventually inclosed
huts with roofs of thatch, and these
by gradual stages would give place
to cabins and framed houses
Similarly wigwam develops into
a tent, and this by the substitution
of more substantial material be-
comes a permanent building.
Cave jewellers naturally enlarge or
multiply their abodes by excavating
chambers in the mountains. This
leads to the use of piers or pillars as
need requires to support the roof,
and masonry is logical sequence.
From an unhewn stone, set up to
mark burial place or to commem-
crate some event, a polished monu-
ment is gradually evolved, and a
modification of a mere stone heap,
or cairn, results in a pyramid or
other symmetrical tomb.
A tree trunk fallen across a
stream or stepping stones through it
were the forerunners of modern
bridge architecture.

The priest was once visiting a

and seldom used library.

The craze for amusement whlch
seems to have fastened itself upon
American young people manltests
itself most strikingly on holidays.
The noise, dissipation and excess
of the Fourth of July, has wholiy
obscured the meaning of the day
to most people. There would be
little room for criticism If the new
order of things were as good as
the old. But it is not. The ef-
fects of the ordinary holiday on
the average working person are
harmful. Dissipation OF energy,
health and character, are had IN
stead of the toil-depleted, nervous
and muscular forces. The ef-
forts of those who are working
toward a quieter, saner Fourth,
are comendable so long as what
they urge is put forward solely s.,
for the common good. Those
who would put away the excuses
of the day should be ready with
a substitute if their purity of mo-
tive is to be established. Mere
prohibition of the frecracker and
torpedo isn't going to be respec'
ted. Let the saturnalia OF noise
he smothered out with something
more acceptable and beneficial.

JOYCE
PLAN TO SHOOT ALL C0MERS
San Bernsrdno Man Starts a Crusade
Against Habitues of Central
Park Who, He Says,
Are Criminals

Laboring under the hallucination that
he had been ordained to clear Central
park of its Objectionable characters,
Abram L. Joyce of San Bernardino,
started his crusade several nights ago
and wound up before the insanity COM
mission in Judge Wilbur's division of
the superior court, yesterday afternoon
Officer Shibley appeared as chief wit
ness against Joyce and told the follow
ing story of his encounter with the
insane man:
Il was sitting on a bench in the dark
when this man approached me and en-
gagged in conversation" said the officer.
He came up to me and said, There are
two criminals in this park and you had
better watch out or there will be trou-
hle. The two criminals are a man and
female and they are sitting beneath
that tree.
" I am down here from San Bernar-
dino on a special mission. l come to
clear Central park of its bad people as
handle the situation. I have been
talking to Chief Hammel about my
mission here but he has been having
his policemen club the people in this
park with billies while I intend to
handle them in more effective way.
Now, my plan is to shoot them all and
thus clear the park of them. The po-

Il told him that I did and he re-
marked that l was liar too.
81 then arrested him and took him to
Jail, telling him that he could see the
captain and talk over his plan. He
had no weapons on his person but had
enough money to have bought lodgings
for the night"
When the commission started to ques-
ton Joyce, the man began on a long
and bewidering story of his life, claim
ing to have been born on British soil
and to have come to California to pick
oranges. He seemed to have a griev-
ance against Sergeant Dickson of the
local police force. who was at the desk
at the time of the arrest and asked
the court as a special favor that he
might be allowed to call the sergeant
a few names. This request the court
refused to allow and upon considera-
ton committed Joyce to the state asy
lum at Patton.

CALIFORNIA GIRL
WILL WE'D BARON
THELMA GR0EBEL TO BE MAR
RIED IN NEW YORK
SEQUEL TO PRETTY ROMANCE
Nursed Baron Ludwig Won stausseI
of Leipsle and Now Goes
East to 6eeons His
Bride

AS a fitting sequel to q romantic
courtship, Fraulein Thelma Groebel of
Los Angeles is now on her way to New
York to meet and to wed Baron Lud-
wig Won Staussel of Leipsic, Germany.
The love match extends over two
years. 1t had its inception when the
baron last visited Los Angeles. While
here he was taken seriously ill, and as
he was a man of wealth and nobility
the publication that he was i'll attract
ed considerable attention.
Mrs. Groebel, who is a widow of ex-
cellent family connections in Germany,
called on Baron Won Staussel at the
hospital. After conversing with him.
she learned that he was a distant rela-
tive of hers, and he was so glad to find
a kinswoman in this country that he
asked Mrs. Groebel to take him to her
own home and care for him during his
illness.
1t was at Mrs. Groebel's home, a
modest structure, in which she kept
boarders for a livelihood, that the baron
became acquainted with Thelma Groe-
Del, Tie uduSnltI. IlllS
soon grew into love and the pair de-
cided to get married, the baron going
home, promising to return and claim
his bride within few months.
When the baron reached his native
land and told of his intended marriage
his family interposed strong objection.
He then wrote his sweetheart in Cali
fornia that marriage would be impos-
sible, owing to this unexpected action
on the part of his family.
Thelma Groebel was surprised four
days ago by telegram from the baron
in New York, which told her to start
at once, so that the marriage might
take place.
Mrs. Groebel is accompanying her
daughter to Gotham. From there she
will sail with the baron and his bride
for Germany she says, maybe never
again to return to California.

DAUGHTER TO APPEAR
AGAINST HER FATHER
Miss Clara Lumsden Says Parent Is
Insane and Threatens
Her

Driven to desperation by the conduct
of her father whom she says is insane,
Miss Clara Lumsden yesterday applied
at the county clerks office for papers
charging her father with insanity and
promised to appear when her father is
arranged for trial.
According to the story told by the
young woman her home has been in a
constant state of turmoil for the past
few weeks because of the conduct of
her father.
my father has been acting in a pc
culiar manner for some time past"
said Miss Lumsden. HE has been a
railroad engineer for the greater por-
tion of his life and has been severely
injured in several wrecks and I guess
that his injuries have affected his mind
Some time ago he showed symptoms of
insanity and would sit in his room
reading and smoking and talking to
himself until o'clock in the morning.
He then started to take morphine
and from that time became unruly and
made life burden to us. A few days
ago, | disagreed with him on some tri-
vial matter and he Immediately became
enraged and threatened to beat me over
the head with n fiat iron.
when we demonstrated with him he
threatened to burn the house,
Papers Of arraignment were made out
and put in the hands of the sheriff and
II is expected that the case will come
up in several days.
