HEADS AND HORNS.
A National Collection Has Been
Started in New York.

New York, May 27.-With a nucleus
of 1872 big game heads and horns rep
resenting 100 different species, the ma
tional collection of heads and horns has
been started in the New York Geological
park
Realizing the threatened extinction of
the great game animals of America and
in practically all the rest of the globe,
the promoters of the scheme believe
that the time is ripe for the gathering
together of the records and tokens of
hundreds, of disappearing species. Two
series of exhibits are planned, the first
geological and the second geographical.
Under the first head specimens will be
arranged to show evolution and rela-
tionship. The nucleus collection con-
tains a series showing the progress from
the yearling buffalo bull to the 20-year-
old stubborn bull, collected on the
Montana range. 1t is probably impossi-
BILE to duplicate this series from wild re-
sources
In the geographical series will be
shown the centers of distribution and
the eliminating points of many species
popular with American sportsmen and
naturalists. Here will naturally be
gathered together such a collection of
maps and photographs of living wild
animals, both in their haunts and in
captivity, as has never yet been formed.
The records of big game which natural
ly will accumulate in the national COL
lection will soon represent great zoolog-
ical value Nearly all of the specimens
which form the nucleus of the collection
were presented by DR.. William T. Horn
aday director of the New York Zoolog-
ical park.
Besides DR.. Hornaday, who represents
the Camp Fire club in the movement,
the other immediate promoters of the
enterprise are Madison Grant for the
Boone and Crockett club and John M.
Phillips, Pennsylvania state game COM
missioner for the Lewis and Clark club.
The New York Geological society win
undertake the maintenance of the col
lection and it is hoped that ultimately
a special building will be provided in
fo house If

found to contain the badly decom-
posed body of a man believed to have
been a priest of the Greek church.
The body was in a kneeling posture
with the head bound against the knees
by a heavy strap that passed over the
back of the neck and was buckled I'M
der the shins. The murdered man
must have been about 60 years of age.
He weighed probably $50 pounds and
was about five feet four inches in
height. A flowing beard twelve inches
long was streaked with gray, but the
long and bushy hair was black.
The police think it possible that the
body was shipped here by express
from Chicago, and the authorities of
that city have been asked to follow
one clue, based on a meal ticket also
found in the trunk. This ticket was
issued by a restaurant at 1922 Hal

neck had been broken, had one

clared. however. that death was due to
suffocation. The internal organs
were congested and DR.. Leblanc gave
It as his opinion that the man was
thrust into the trunk while alive and
the cover of the trunk had been held
down until death ensued. The condi-
lions of the organs was found to be
similar to those in cases of asphyxia-
ton.

Comets In Olden DAYS.

People nowadays do not regard the
comet as one of those signs that fore
run the death or fall of kings. but the
superstition was still current In the
time Of Queen Elizabeth, though, to
the amaZement of her courtiers, the
queen calmly scorned it. 1t was also
thought that If the sovereign would re-
frain from looking at the malignant
celestial passerby no harm would come
to her. On one occasion Elizabeth's
attendants shut and curtained her win
dows, but her majesty, as might have
been expected, with "a courage an
swerable to the greatness of her es-
tate" caused them to be opened, cry
ing as she looked up: "Jacta est alea-
the die is castr' Then, like King Knut
on the seashore, she read her people a
homily, asserting that her "steadfast
hope and confidence were too firmly
planted in the providence of God to be
blasted or affrighted with those beams
which either had no ground In nature
whereupon to rise or at least no war
rant in Scripture to portend the mis-
haps of princes"

A SLAB OF BLACK STONE.
Key to All the Ancient Writings of the

There Is slab of black stone in the
British museum which if you could
walk away with it and establish your
CAIN as the owner you could sell any
DAY for quarter of million and find
half dozen money kings in England
and America ready to buy it.
There is nothing very striking about
this stone. 1t might be piece of
black marble with some peculiar hero
glyphics upon it. But it is just these
hieroglyphics which make it so valua-
BILE. because they are the key to all
the ancient writings of the Egyptians,
