induce a visit to that capital. Other
smaller reptiles browsed on the foliage
Of the then existing plains and were
pursued and preyed upon by fell rep
lillian monsters of various kinds. The
sea also swarmed with reptiles Och

and dolphins of our own day. And not
only were the earth and seas thus peo-
pied, but there were flying reptiles of
different kinds and sizes, known as
pterodactyls.

Curious Street Names.

The list Of curious street names is
inexhaustible. Bermondsey possesses
a Pickle Herring street. Near Gray's
inn there is to be found a Cold Bath
square. Most of the Nightingale lanes
and Love lanes are hidden ironically
enough in the slums OF the east end.
But for really bizarre street names
one should go to Brussels. The Short
Street of the Long Chariot, the Street
Of the Red Haired Woman and the
Street Of Sorrows are remarkable
enough to catch the least observant
eye. The Street of the One Person Is.
as mi might guess. considerably mar
rover than Whitehall. But the cream
of Brussels street names surely be
longs to the Street of the Uneracked
Silver Cocoanut. This in the original

The coniurer did not appear, but

rage" a contemporary account tells us.
"and called to pull down the house.
He drew his sword and was In such
a rage that somebody slipped in be

TRUE STANDARDS OF LIFE.
The Measure of a Man Is What He Is,
Not What He Has.

1t takes SO long to learn how to live,
so long TO get even a glimmering of
what life is for and what we ought to
do with ours. We are so prone to live
In the future, to fret ourselves about
1t. We are so busy y~earning for the
joys we imagine other people have and
worrying about the trouble we imagine
we are having that we make OF the
present. the thing we are sure OF.
an endless regret.
And of all the follies the limit Is to
permit some one else to make our
standards for us. Haven't we intelli-
gence? Can't we think for ourselves =?
To want things We don't need. many
we do not really care for, just because
some one else has them and wouldn't
understand lie we didn't have them! To
struggle and strain TO make a show
when all the neighbors know 1t Is only
q show and would respect us a heap
more If we had the courage to be our
selvest Deaths standards ought to be
life's standards. Death does not ask
how big a house we hail from. nor how
many university degrees we have won,
nor what is our bank account. Not
what we have nor what we know, bat
what we are. And that's u measure
of everybody but ourselves.-Erman j.

a Riddle Making Epoch.

There have been epoehs at which rid
die making has. been more especially
IN vogue, and such epochs would ap-
pear to occur at reasons of fresh In
tellectuaf awakening. Such an epoch
there was at the first ~giimmering OF
new intellectual light in the second
half OF the seventh century. This was
the age of Aldhelm. bishop Of Sher-
borne, the first in the roll of Anglo
Latin poets. He left a considerable
number of enigEnas In Latin hexame-
tiers. AIdheim died In 1909. Before
his time there was a collection of Lat
in riddles that bore the name of Sym
phosius. OF this work the date Is I'M
known. We only know that Aldhelm
used 1t. and we may infer that it was
then q recent product. The riddles of
SymphOsius were uniform in shape,
consisting each Of three hexameteF

The clay tablets of Chaldea. prob

cases not more than an inch long. In
the same ruins with the tablets have
been found the glass lenses which
were used by their readers. The writ

still soft, by q little iron tracer. not
pointed. but triangular at the end. BY
slightly pressing this end on the soft

The tablets, having been inscribed on

Natural Life"

A poisoner in a western state has
been sentenced to Imprisonment, as
the news dispatches put it, 'for the
rest of his natural life" That phrase
natural life' bothers some people,
who wonder ifsthe law recognizes any
unnatural life" 1t does not, but the
old common law Ibid recognize an I'M
natural death as well as a natural one.
When a man or woman takes the
menastic vow people still speak of it
as leaving the world" In mediaeval
times that was considered a form of
death, and the phrase natural life'
came into use to describe an existence
terminated by the grave, not by the
convent or the abbey. New York

Como, Italy, June 1s.-Although divers
worked all day in waters of Lake Como,
their labors were not rewarded by the
finding of anything that would aid in solv-
ing the mystery of Mrs. Mary Scott Castle
Charlton's murder or serve as clew to
the fate of the woman S missing husband,
Porter Charlton.
Many visitors have come here from
outlying districts and from adjoining
towns to watch the divers at work and
they seemed greatly disappointed that
nothing more gruesome was brought up
from the bottom of the lake than rag
ged hat, an old shoe and similar articles
of apparel, which were found to have no
connection with the case
Nothing was discovered today that In
any way would justify the supposition
that Charlton's body is in the lake. and
the search has tended to strengthen the
belief entertained all along by the police
that Charlton has made his way out OF
the country and may be now on board
some outward bound steamer.
Temporarily the examination of Ispola-
toff. the Russian suspect, has been sus-
pended, while the efforts of the prosecu-
tor are being directed to thorough in
vestigation of the scene of the murder

Washington, June 16.-Both San Fran
cisco and New Orleans must raise $780,
GOO before they can hope to receive GOV
eminent indorsement for their expositions
In celebration of the completion of the
Panama canal. The House committee on
foreign affairs today decided not to invite
foreign nations to participate until these
conditions were complied with.
Unwilling to favor either of the rival
exposition cities, the House committee on
foreign affairs today decided to report
favorably two resolutions authorizing the
President to invite foreign nations topaz
ticipate in each exposition to be held in
the two cities whenever each city has
raised $500 900 for the purpose of holding
its exposition.
The New Orleans contingent appeared
jubilant over the committees action,
claiming it was in their favor and blow
at San Francisco.
Prior to the executive meeting of the
committee a representative of San Fran
cisco argued that his city had raised more
than 5000, 900 by public subscriptioS.-s..'
wanted to raise the limit on the Kahn
resolution to s7,50O,000. A member of the
committee hurried outside and talked
with Representative Estopinal of Louisi-
ana "Will New Orleans meet that
amount?" he asked Estopinal.
Yes" replied Estopinal I'VE have al
ready raised $6,000000 and can easily OBJ

DIVERS DISCOVER NO CLUE TO
MURDER OF AMERICAN WOMAN

and of the domestic and social relations
of Charlton and his wife.
The police do not incline strongly to the
theory OF double murder, and after the
bottom of the lake had been dragged In
spots with graphing hooks, they were
prepared to abandon this line of invesu-
cation. Mr. Caughey, however. asked
that a further search be made by divers,
and the Italian authorities yielded to the
wishes of the consul.
The arrival today of the divers from
Genoa caused much excitement among
the peasants of the neighborhood who
appear to be absorbed in the mystery.
The interest in the case locally is not con-
fined to these residents by any means,
and summer visitors throughout this sec
tion,- including number of Americans,
have been attracted to the scene OF the
tragedy They gathered on the lake
shore in force today, hoping to witness a
solution Of the mystery of Charleton's dis
appearance.
1t Is not certain that the divers will be
successful in settling the question of the
depth of the lake. In spots the bottom
lies about 1000 feet below the surface of
the water The divers, 1t is said cannot
than As feet. At the same time to have
been sunken to a great depth the body
must have been attached to an immense
weight.
The belief among many, including the
police, Is that Charlton Is now on board
q steamer bound for New York.

BILLS OF LADING ARE
TO BE MADE UNIFORM

Washington. June 16.-A hearing was
given by the Senate committee on inter-
state commerce today on the bill which
passed the House to require a uniform
bill of lading for goods shipped in inter-
state commerce. A large delegation sup
porting the bill was present, under the
leadership of George Neville of the New
York Cotton exchange. The chief pur-
pose of the proposed legislation is to pro-
vide for the liability of the carrier for
bills signed BY Its agents so as to make
the bill OF ladlng readily negotiable.
1t was favored by representatives of
New York banks, who desired to guard
against paying out money on bills fraud
ulently issued. Business transacted on
bills of lading is said to amount ~
$1,000, 100000 a year. of which fully 80 per
cent represents interstate shipments. The

tance of the measure. expects to tax ac-

st. Louis as White had been, and there
was handed a package by Browne, who
remarked there Is your Lorimer money.
Beckmeyer said he opened the pack
age and found $1,000 in $50 bills. The
alleged payment of $1,000 to Beckmeyer

a bomb in the form of a confession on
it's side of the case. Attorney Erbstein
of counsel for Browne returned from
a trip of out town and declared hs

to entering a plot with White to OBJ
tain money from Browne and Lorimer.
1t was declared that the confession
to be sprung by the defense will prove
'blackmail' plot and the Indictment
of White will be demanded on the basis
OF this.
