additional telegraph operator at each
of its 245 stations. Thus far, the
company says, it has not been able to
secure the services of efficient and
competent operators in such numbers
as will enable 1t to comply with the
act
1t is pointed out that in complying
with the law their only recourse will
be to transfer operators now in their
employ to stations of greater import
ance and larger traffic, thus closing
many small stations. where now the
operator performs the duties of ticket

Caribou Horns.

Not one out of every ten female carl
bou has horns. When it does have
them they are much smaller than those
OF the bull. The horns of the female,
however, in general have many more
branches than those Of the bull, and
they are much more regularly and
finely formed. The cows carry their
horns much longer than the bulls. They
have been seen with their horns in tie

their horns from the 10th to the last
Of November. They hardly ever carry
them after the month of November.

The Venus de Milo" which has been
In the Louvre for many years is, as all
the world knows, an imperfect piece OF
sculpture. though it IS the greatest
treasure of it's kind the world has ever
seen. A great reward would be given
the man who could find the missing
parts. About 1878 the most important
of them-the right arm-came to light
In London and was proved by experts
TO be genuine. The owner, however,
refused to part with it and concealed
1t for fear it would be stolen. Unfor
tunately he died without revealing its
hiding plxce, so it is as much lost as
ever.
bronze drinking cup which was
stolen from an Egyptian temple in
1899 and brought to Europe has mirac-
ulously disappeared. On it is engraved
the whole history of the Pharaohs, and
it could easily he sold for 100000 In
fact, the French government offered a
reward Of $4,000 for its discovery, but
the famous cup has vanished, probably
forever.
Another treasure which has vanished
in as strange a way is the Marcella
vase of the Dresden collection, This
Is the only piece missing from the IA
nous Dresden Marcel1a collection, the
value Of which is said to be $4,000.

to be in England, but, be that as 1t
may, the person who rediscovers this
treasure may command any price in

How it Is possible that a treasure sd
large as painting could be lost sight
of entirely Is not easily explained, but
this has often happened. One of Reyn-
Odds paintings, Countess of Derby,
which is consider ed his best portrait
has disappeared. Not long after II
was painted it disappeared from the
collection of the Earl of Derby and
has never been heard of since, though
1t would bring Sl5O.o0O to the finder.

WOMEN CHESS PLAYERS.
why None of Them Ii Mentioned In
the Annals Of the Game.

Ladies' chess clubs are being estab-
Ished in various parts of the country;
special Inducements are held out for
their patronage by the promoters OF
national and international tournaments,
and articles on the game appear reGu-
larry in journals which cater specially
TO them. Women have always played
and taken part in the game, though
probably never TO the same extent as
now II is therefore, remarkable that
in the whole of its enormous Hters unre
there does not appear the name OF
any woman among the stars of the
first, second or third magnitude. One
may go through volume after volume
containing thousands of games and not
find single one played by women
which any editor thought worthy OF a
permanent record.
When the question has been raised
before, il has been involved with that
of the intellectual superiority of one
sex over the other. Today the answer
to this would be totally inadequate
and inconsequentisI. There are men in
the front rank of players at the pres
cnt moment who by no stretch of the
Imagination or the term can be said TO
occupy their position on account of ex-
ceptionslly intellectual endowments.
While the game always appeals to in
tellectual men and women. inteilect in
not the only factor which makes the
great player.
A careful examination of the games
OF players whom the world recognizes
as great reveals the fact that the fac
