During q bull fight at Bordeaux yester-

Two more bulls were released, but the
professionals refused TO fight. Some young

VIENNA. Oct. %.
The dream of an English srchaeologist,
Professor waldstein, of Cambridge, is
nearing its realization. Herculaneum, the
ancient Roman city which was buried
1900 years ago by an eruption Of Vesu-
vius, is to be excavated by the united
action OF England. France, Germany.
Italy, the United States and other cOun-
tries. The neighboring Pompeii, which
was ruined by the same disaster, and is
still being laid bare. was a comparative
ly unimportant place. having no Libraries
or important works Of art.
Many rich Romans had their magnif-
cent villas at Herculaneum. Most Of
the interesting objects in the Naples
Museum came from that city, where,
however, at present only a few houses
have been uncovered, and that, so 10
say. accidentally All scientists agree
that at Herculaneum most Of the missing
sections ana entire works Of the Greek
and Roman authors and many art treas
ures must still lie buried.
Town to be Demolished.
Hitherto there have been very strong
reasons why Herculaneum could not be
unearthed. The town Of Resina has been
built some eighty feet above the ancient
city. Consequently, first Of all Resina
must be bought W and demolished. anc
secondly it would lie necessary 10 remove
a layer OF earth eighty feet thick, the
expense Of which undertakings would be
enormous
No one country. said Professor Wald-
stein, is rich enough TO undertake this
mission alone, and so he conceived the
idea that this great work which viii in
crease the knowledge OF the whole world.
must be undertaken collectively. First
he laid the matter before King Edward
from whom he received the greatest en-
enlargement.
Kaiser as Honorary President.
The professor then approached King
Victor Emmanuel and the Kaiser, both
Of whom entered heartily into the prof
ect. The Kaiser consented 10 accept the
honorary presidency for Germany. and
said that one Of his Princes should be
active president. Mr. Roosevelt after
ward accepted the presidency for the
United States, and Frances goodwill has
also been assured
Now only the final decision Of the Ital-
ian Government, under whose protection
the international cooperation is TO take
place, is wanting. Italy's consent is not
doubtful. Professor Waldstein is sure he
will soon get the necessary funds for ex-
cavating Iferculaneum. At present only
S2O0,000 a year will be necessary.

A year ago Crealin built hut on Mont

terrorized the valley. and then retreated
through the forests and snowy heights to
his mountain fastness. The local authOri-

but the elusive Crealin only laughed at
them, and when they thought they were
close on his tracks in the woods, he was
making love TO a farmers daughter.

At last the local police appealed to the
Italian authorities. and a dozen special

Week after week passed, and tho the weather got
bit cooler it did not get cool enough to suit the people
of Pennyve; the Mayor of Nickletown had to stay
in the Jail.
He did not fare any too well, because he got only
bread and water.
sDear friend' said the people of Pennyvlle to him.

The Mayor Of Nickletown got thinner and thinner,
and the people of Nickletown went to the Grand Duke
and told him that the people of Pennyve had their be-
loved Mayor in Jail and would not let him 60.
The Grand Duke investigated and learned the story.
"Well' said he to the people of Nickletown, "I
cannot do anything about it, You will have
to settle it between yourselves

The schoolmaster looked under .sW' for Weather

The people Of Nickletown only laughed when the
