WHEN TRANsLAToRs DISAGREE
Three Different Versions of CarhAA-
Eenian Inscription Given by
ms Many Authors.

"The translation of hieroglyphics,
cuneiform inscriptions and other
writings upon stone" said the anti
quarry, according to the PhiladelDbi,
Record, ''is difficult art. and an odd
thing about it is the way difTerens
translators will get an altogether
different meaning ct of the same
text. For instance. some time 400
Carthaginian inscription was trans
lated by certain Duvivier:
"'Here reposes Hamilcar. father Of
Hannibal. as much loved by his coun-
try as he was formidable to his foes
"De Sauley studied the inscription
and said that this was the proper
translation:
The priestess of Isis has raised
this monument in honor Of Spring.
the Graces and Roses, which charm
and fertilize the earth
"Duviyier and De Sauley wranpled
and contended over the Inscription
and finally agreed to accept as final
the judgment of an expert to be
mutually agreed on. The expert was
chosen and his translation was:
"'This altar has been dedicated TO
the god OF the winds and storms.
in the hope of apPeasing his anger "

BLUE JAYS HUNT SNAKES.
The Birds Have n Very strong An.
upnthy Toward All Venom
Gus Reptiles.

1t is commonly supposed that all
birds, at least those of the small spe-
cies, fall easy victims to snakes. There
are stories innumerable of the manner
IN which the reptiles charm the feath-
ered creatures and end by swallowing
them at gulp. But there is one bird
that Is not susceptible to the fascina-
tlon OF his snakeship's eye, and that
Is the common blue jay, found in the
woods all over the United States, says
the Chicago Chronicle.
a gentleman who has lived for many
years in the country asserts positively
'HaI the blue jay can speak at least
one word as plainly as a human being
ana that word is snake" when a
boy, he said recently, 81 killed many
snakes that would have escaped but
lor the sharp eyes of the blue iay.
some species Of reptiles will climb
slhaII trees and bushes and trap their
prey IN that manner. They feed on
small birds principally. But they
never catch jaybird. He is the snake
detective for the whole bird family.
As soon as blue jay sees a snake he
sounds the alarm. You can hear him
squat a quarter of a mile, and he ar
tlculates the word snake as plainly
as l can. lie will hop about on limb
ana yell snake! snake!' in such
lhrlII' excited voice that pretty soon
others OF his tribe hasten to the scene.
and all join in giving the alarm. All
other birds, hearing this warning cry.
ny away, but the blue jay splits his
throat with cries until the enemy has
disappeared.
y snake once caught blue jay by
charming him. The jay yelled 'Snake!~
snake! at the top Of his voice Several
hundred blue jays flew to his rescue
ana pecked the snakes eyes out, and
literally picked him to pieces, thus saw
ing the life Of their companion. Ever
SINCE that time the blue jay, upon see
ing snake, gives the alarm and all
blue jays within hearing will hasten
TO the scent and lend their voices TO
the warning. This may sound incred-
ulous, but it's true" said the narrator
IN conclusion. Not at all, but it's
good story to forget under the cir
cumstances," added the nervous young
man who at once proposed the con-
sideration Of the relation of the jocund
grape to the doctrine of metempsy-
Ghosts.

James Parker, and he walked with
them when the shopping was done.
IL was one of those afternoons when
the sun and the general brightness
OF things can make even a walk in
the smoky streets Of Chicago pleas
ant. Parker suggested that they
walk home. When they had reached
the corner of South Water street
theIr way as usual was barred by
great sacks and boxes. Parker had
mad one or two reasons of late to
actually look with just a suspicion
of jealous apprehension at a certain
farmer from Bowmanville. lie could
not forbear pointing. with his cane,
with sort of smile to make it
appear that he considered it in the
light of joke, at some placards
which appeared above the sacks and
boxes at the South Water street cor
ner. The pointing was hardly neces-
sary, for Frances Marvin's quick eyes
had caught their significance. This is
what they read:

Ice Instead of Dynamite.

A notable quarrying feat was late
ly accomplished at the Rubislaw
granite quarries, Aberdeen. A large
stone had been drilled ready for
splitting. when the thought struck
the foreman that nature might aid
in the object to be attained, the idea
being suggested by the severe frost
which prevailed. Water was poured
into each of the drill holes, and it
was found after couple of days
that the block of granite had com
pletely burst open. An idea of the
immense power of the frost will be
gained when it is stated that the
stone thus detached has weight of
about six tons.-Science.

the loyal support the high

game Friday. If we ever have
the opportunity to return the
favor, we certainly will do so.
