Wood OF Denver. a noted seo,ogist
and mining engineer who recently
spent ten days in the Arbuckle noun
tains, west Of here, claims to have
made a discovery of great scientific
value. He found what is known as
an Ortnoceros, a shell fish, Which

Iwill spend The specimens TO the Smith

says il is one OF the most peculiar

Discussing the subject from the
standpoint of a geologist, Prof. Wood
said:
II was of the opinion before com
ing here that theArbuckles were o.
volcanic origin, but the discovery OF
the "Stomache-footed" fish in a per
fest state of preservation has chang
ed my first impressions. Another fac
tor which changed my opinion was
the fact that Reagan sandstone is
found directly on top of the por-
phyry This indicates great age and
primary formation. Just how the pearl

SUPT. COIN RELATES
TROUBLES To MAYOR
HEAD OF STREET CLEANING DE-
PARrMENT SAYS PRESENT
FORCE is INADEQUATE.

Superintendent III. J. Cohn, of the
street cleaning department, submitted
his annual report Monday to Mayor
Richardson. The report reads In part
as follows:
The department has labored hard
and earnestly TO meet the growing de-
mands of Greater Richmond in the
way of making II clean city, but
owing to the entirely inadequate force
OF men and the lack OF necessary
equipment. II is with great regret that
] say to you that, in many instances,
streets have not been kept clean and
ashes and garbage left to rot In the
receptacles holding them.
With the same force and equip
ment which proved too small for the
past three years, the department this
year had to struggle to clean South
Richmond and the number of newly
paved streets. alleys and cutters.
1t Is a repetition of the complaint
that was made last year. only that it
has become much worse, of limited
force, work undone from lack OF men
to do 1t. and complaining public
that does not consider cause, but de-
mands results.
Il must again call your attention
to the wretched condition of the yard
and stable, and most respectfully
urge that your honor. being familiar
with existing conditions OF same, take
such steps az YOU may see ut to bring
about the much needed Improvement"

DR.. BANKS To GIVE
HIS End LECTURE
SPEAKS TUESDAY NIGHT ON
EGYPTIAN EXCAVATIONS AND
THE BTBLE-FIRST TALK
ON BISMYA.

Or. Edward f.. Banks, field direc-
tor of the University of Chicago ex-
petition to Babylonia. who interested
large audience Monday night with
stories of his explorations of Bismya,
will deliver his second lecture Tues
day night in the chapel of Richmond
College. His subject will be Egyp-
tian Excavations and the Bible" A
large attendance is expected. as an
invitation has been extended to the
public.
In describing the Babylonian expe-
dition Or. Banks said that as Ameri-
can consul at Bagdad he spent three
years and $4,000 and enlisted the aid
of the state department In obtaining
the consent OF the Turkish govern
ment to countenace the expedition,
and finally was satisfied with permits
sion to explore Bismya only.
After reaching the ruins of Bismya.
the members of the expedition built
Il fort in which to protect themselves
against rowing bands OF robbers. They
also dug well, lined with bricks
known to be Il sgee years, as the near
est water was twelve miles away. They
found that the Arabs live in the same
way as the Arabs described in the
Bible. About a hundred of the Arabs
were employed at the rate of from IL
TO 20 cents a day to excavate, and
when the work was begun members OF
the expedition saw that Bismya af-
forded rare interest. The city Is be-
lieved to be the oldest In the world
and coin was found bearing the date
$500 h. c. A marble statue bore the
date $500 II. c. Other relics uncov-
cred showed the explorers that 10000
years ago civilization existed al
Bismya, which was more perfect than
the present-day civilization in Baby
lonia.
