INADEQUATE WATCH FORCE.
Criticism of the Management Of
Municipal Building.

One of the principal criticisms to date
of the management Of the new District
building is the inadequate provision for
watchmen for the building at night. Con-
gress appropriated only a sum sufficient
to hire six men to watch the building at
all hours and as the schedule for the
watchmen has been arranged 1t falls to
the lot Of one man to patrol the building
after dark
1t is the duty OF this lone Waterman
to go on the "still hunt for evildoers in
the building for eight hours. He is then
relieved by another Waterman. who
goes it sngle-handed until the day force
comes on duty. The first Waterman on
at night, aside from making several trips
from the cellar to roof and around the
various corridors and hooks and corners.
trying the doors as he goes along, has to
answer telephone calls at the main en-
trance and to operate one of the elevators
in case some of the employees should find
1t necessary to visit their Offices at night.
The fact that there should be better ar
rangement made for patrolling the build
ing at night was called to the attention
OF the police department last night. II
was pointed out that it would not be diff
f1cult for any one to gain access to the
building and travel over any part OF 1t
and commit some wrong. probably re-
sulting in serious damage. and escape
without fear of detection.

ACCUSES TAX ASSESSORS.
Bernard G. Brown Charges Discrim
nation Against His PROPERTY.

Bernard G. Brown of 525 18th street
northwest, who owns several pieces of
property In the neighborhood Of South
Kenilworth, has lodged a complaint with
the Commissioners in which he charges
the board of assistant assessors of the
District with discrimination against him
in the assessment Of his property.
He says his property is assessed at 2
cents a square foot. He cannot see why
it should be so assessed when other prop
erty surrounding it, and which he claims
has more advantages than his. is only as
sessed at l cent. He also charges that
one Of his lots is assessed for improve
ments, although not improved. This fact
gives evidence. he alleges. that the per-
sons who assessed his property have not
visited 1t In person as required by law.
Last March Mr.. Brown appealed to the
board of equalization and review for re-
lief from this alleged unjust assessment.
1t decided that everything In connection
with his assessment was proper
He then appealed to the Commissioners
Word from them was to the effect that the
assistant assessors are given independent
Jurisdiction in the matter of assessing
property and that the Judgment of the
board OF equalization and review is, under
the law. final and that the Commission
ers have no authority to overrule It.

ANTIQUITY OF THE COFFIN.
Probably Survival Of the Mummy
Case or the Dolmen.


Case or the Dolmen.
From the London Lancet.
The shapes Of familiar objects Of human
manufacture do not. as a rule excite our
curiosity. The boxlike form Of a coffin,
for instance. suggests nothing. Even an
undertaken has no views on the raison
d'etre Of collins save that they conduce to
decency. Yet on grounds Of propriety
many nations. such as the ancient Ro-
mans and the Hindoos, have preferred
cremation to interment. since the latter
involves the Disagreement and gradual
decay Of the dead.
Collins. indeed, are not explainable on
grounds Of hygiene or seemliness, for
which primitive men cared very little.
Rather must we see in the modern wood
en- conff1n a COPY of the prehistoric stone
or chalk receptacle which was a conven-
tional reproduction Of one Of two things
the mummy cases familiar to students
Of Egyptology, or the dolmen Cor stone
house in which prehistoric non-Aryan
races. especially round the Mediterra-
mean from Egypt westward, were in the
habit Of burying their dead.
Collins were, as Lord Avebury points
out In his prehistoric Times" appar-
emily unknown to very ancient man. The
dead were buried in a sitting posture or
in the attitude of sleep in what were re-
garded as kind Of ghost houses. The
most elaborate and fully differentiated
Of these houses of the dead are as Prof.
Sergi maintains. the pyramids. with their
mummies and various precautions against
the decay Of the body.
A less elaborate differentiation of the
house idea is to be found in the dolmens
still remaining all over the world from
India to Great Britain. A dolmen, built of
f1ve slabs OF stone, covered by a tumuluS,
crowned by q menhir, surrounded by a
stone circle. as at Stonehenge and Ave-
bury. and led up to by an avenue Of
standing stones is, in fact, rude adum-
bration Of the pyramid. Inside the dol
ing utensils. arms. and so forth. put there
for their use In the spirit world. Is it
too much to suppose that the earliest
stone collins we're limitations OF the dol
mens-in fact, dolmens in miniature?
Whether this be 50 OF not 1t is very
tombstones, and especially our table
tombs (which are five-sided. as we'll as
the family vaults of great families. with
their traditions Of embalmment and their
leaden shell collins. which conventionally
outline the shapes of the dead within, are
go many relics Of the remote epoch when
Q tomb was conceived of as a house in
which the dead continue to live their
sformer lives.
The leaden shell collins just mentioned
may indeed have originated the modern
coffin. The latter has still. for no ap-
parently sufficient reason. to be con-
structed In accordance with careful
measurements and IN conventional imi-
tation of the human shape. The leaden
she'll in the family vault sometimes goes
SO far as conventionally to preserve the
outline OF the fingers Of the corpse. and
this fact would seem to point back to a
time when corpses were not coff1ned.
Thus the shell. and afterwar the coffin
or elaborated shell. might be regarded
as interpretations in the dolmsn scheme
of burial.
