Rome.The Italian government On.
nounces that the excavation Of the
buried city. Of Herculaneum will be
begun at once.
The work will be carried out by the
italian government with Italian funds,
and the advice Of eminent foreign
Psychologists will be gratefully &C
cepted. The proposal made by Prot.
Waldstein Of Cambridge university
that the excavations should be super
yised by an international committee
Is finally rejected. 4
The artistic treasures which should
be unearthed are expected to prove
far richer than those already discov-
cred in the buried city of Pompeii,
where Roman houses have been un-
covered, with manuscripts, fragments
Of Roman newspapers, frescoes, and
innumerable other strange relics Of
human life 1900 years ago.
The difficulty in the way Of excava-
tons in the past has been the fact
that, the surface of the deposit which
covers the ancient city is occupied by
modern villages. These have gradual.
ly spread and grown, thus hampering
the explorer.
The city Of Herculaneum lies about
five miles from Naples, close to the
Mediterranean. 1t was a great and
populous center in Roman times, but
it was totally destroyed, with the
neighboring city of Pompeii, in A. D.
70 by a terrible eruption of Vesuvius.
A poor village afterwards sprang up
on the site, but this also was over
whelmed by second eruption In 472
A. D. The ancient city now lies from
30 to 100 feet deep under a mass OF
lava and volcano dust, compacted by
ages. But the very calamity which
destroyed it preserved for future gen.
erations it's treasures. But for Pompeii,
that buried city which has been ex.
humed in the past $50 years, no one
would have known what Roman
town looked like, or how Romans OF
the first century lived.

track the thief. This he did with great
ease, for the thief had worn a pair of
shoes which he had patched himself.
The local sheriff followed the prints
two miles, until they led to the home
of John Volgoz, Polish farmer.
There the sheriff found the six fowls,
newly killed and plucked. Volgoz de-
MED that he had stolen them, but
Sheriff Ritch asked him what he fed
his fowls on and he said corn.
The sheriff then took the crop out
Of one Of the birds and showed that it

will kill almost as many deer as, per.
haps more than, all the hunters. The
plans which have been formulated call
for systematic work extending over ap.
proximately two years. The expecta-
ton is that the state will employ two
or three men, who will become, under
Mr.. Bailey's instructions, expert in
wolf killing. During three months of
the spring they will hunt the young in
dens, and during the summer they will
trap the older wolves They will be
kept busy about six months of the
year.
Mr.. Bailey says that very rough
estimate of the number OF timber
wolves in the upper peninsula is 200.
The success that has followed
scientific wolf killing in other parts OF
the country is indicated by reports
from the forest reserves. The bio
logical survey has worked with the
forest service In; an effort. to clear the
national forests Of timber wolves and
coyotes. and reports received by the
survey indicate that between 400 and
1.5oo timber wolves were killed last
