BRYAN AT WHITE HOUSE.
Pays His Respects To President In
Friendly Interview.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-President
Roosevelt and w. J. Bryan were in
conference for half an hour in the
presidents private Office today.
II was not invited to CALL" MIR.
Bryan said on leaving, "but l called
up on the telephone and asked II the
president would receive callers. On
being informrd that he would, came,
simply to pay my respects to the pres.
ident."
Mr.. Bryan was not willing to die.
cuss the details of his interview, but
was free to add details to the fnan.
cial plan which he proposed few
days ago. In reviewing every meas.
ure of relief which had come to his
notice, Mr.. Bryan said that nothing
seemed to be intended to meet the Sit
ustion as effectively, and, at the same
time as simply, to have the govern.
ment insure depositors in nation al
banks against loss by reason of the
failure OF the banks. 1t was not in
tended, he said, to have the govern
ment collect fund for this purpose,
to be kept on hand. Whenever q ma.
tional bank should be required to pay
its depositors, it would be the duty OF
the government to make an assess
ment on all national banks to meet
the amount of loss by reason of the
failure. This assessment, Mr.. Bryan
said, would be intinitestimal.

ANCIENT BOWS.
That II the Scyth;ans Was In this Form
of the Letter c.

of the Letter c.
While universally used by the an
clients. the form of the bow varied with
different nations The Scythian bow
was in the form Of the letter C, and
the bow of the Tartars. descendants Of
the Scythians, still keeps that shape.
The Greek bow was not more than
three or four feet in length, but SO
stout and stiff that it required consid-
erable strength and skill to use it. 1t
Is said that the first Greek bows were
made from the horns of a species OF
goat, the bases being united by means
Of metallic band. Afterward other
material was used in their manufac-
turc. but they still retained their orig
inal shape. These bows were too
short to be Of much use. and, compara-
lively speaking, but small portion Of
the troops were armed with them.
The Romans carried the bow to Brit
ain. where 1t at once obtained favor
and during the middle ages was ex-
tensiNely used, forming an important
element Of the armies of that period.
The English archers were said to be
the finest in the world, and their skill
decided the battles of Creecy, Poitiers
and Agincourt. The bows used were
Of two kinds-the long bow and the
arbalest, or crosSbow. The arbalest
was made Of steel or horn and was OF
such strength and stiffness that it was
necessary to use some mechanical ap-
pliance to bend 1t and adjust the
string. The arbalcstiers carried q
Quivcr with fifty arrows and were
placed in the van of the battle
