Nearly all Of the ancient nations
called lightning by names signlfying
"cloud fire" and the major portion Of
them employed some symbol to repre-
sent the flash Of the "forked fury"
darling from the thunder clouds. Tho
early Chaldeans symbollzed It with n
trident, and the BabylOnians, learned
i'm mystic lore, employed a human hand
for the same purpose. The bas-rellefs
Of the towers Of Nimrud and Matilda,
which are the work of the later and
more refined Assyrian artists, show tho
trident doubled or transformed Into
what Is known as "trthd fascicle"
This triumph Of the classic art secured
for the ancient MesopotamIan symbol
the advantage over all other represen-
tations Of the thunderboIt The Greeks
represented the "s1orm fire" with the
feathers OF bird Of prey. Later on,
when they had begun to incorporate
the Aslatlc form OF the symbol with
their own, they put 1t In the claws Of
an eagle and made II the scepter Of
Zeus. Gaul received the symbol from
Italy but soon altered 1t TO the famil-
far two headed hammer 50 common on
Gallo Roman monuments. The same
symbol IL seen on amulets found In
Germany, Scandinavia, England and
France.

that it will prove the theatrical event

FOR PROTECTION OF
GAME IN MISSISSIPPI

We publish elsewhere in our col
umns the Game Laws OF the State of
Mississippi which, as will be noted,
are very strict. They positively pro-
hibit the sale Of any game killed with
in the confines Of the State.
The impression prevails to a great
extent. that quail and other game
birds or animals. are the individual
property Of the land owner and that
the land owner can kill or sell any
game on his property This IS erro-
neous. as the law passed reads very
plainly that all game within the con
fines OF the State are declared the
property of the State and not the
property of the individual, conse-
quently the property owner can nol
violate the laws passed any more
than the uon-propcrty owner.
Other States in the Union have had
Just such game laws passed as Mis-
sissipDi has passed during the last
session Of the Legislature and these
laws have been in effect for some
years and are yet; Notwithstanding
the efforts Of the produce dealers in
the large cities to prove them I'M
constitutional.
It will be noted that each county
will have to appoint game wardens,
but as the pay will be small, the
members Of the gun and fishing
clubs in our city are now taking steps
to raise money to pay a game warden
Ia salary, that will allow him TO en-
