Primogeniture.

The law of primogeniture sends
back its roots to the most ancient
times. Away back in the patriarchal
ages the first born son had supe.
rfority over all his brethren and in the
absence Of his father was in every
important sense the head Of the house.
Upon the death of the father be be-
came by the unwritten law. which
could not be questioned. the priest and
lord Of the family. and naturally to
him fell the property as well as the.
honors Of the household. Primogeni-.
ture wherever it is found today is the
lingering remnant Of the ancient Gus.

and justice pronounce to be as unfair

ARCHAEOLOGY.
The Ancients Were Unconscious Aids

The Ancients Were Unconscious Aids
to the Modern Science.
Arthur L. rockingham. writing in
the North American Review on Where
Archaeology Comes H." notes that,
though it is customary to consider the
science Us modern study, dating
from the middle of the eighteenth cen
tury there has been at all times a
certain amount Of unconscious archae-
ology." Illustrating this, he says:
"When the late Babylonian King
Nabonidus. about $50 B. c., stated that
he was restoring in the original style
a temple built more than 1000 years
before him by King Naramsin he
was, or thought he was, doing the
work of an archaeological scholar.
When the Roman priests, under the
Antoine emperors, continued to use in
their sacrifices only the primitive
black earthen cups that had been in
use for nearly a thousand years, since
before the founding of Rome, they
We're practical archaeologists.
"When the Emperor Augustus in
sisted on having copies of the best
works of Greek sculpture of different
ages and styles made in the exact
manner of the originals, including ar
chaic works, he was obliging his sculp-
tors to be archaeologists. The EN-
peror Claudius, who wrote on antiqui-
ties and used archaicisms, was lam
pooned by scurrilous Romans as a
pedantic archaeologist, and Hadrian,
the Philhellene, among his many eff
forts at resurrecting ancient Hellas,
can count the revival Of the Perga-
meme and Alexandrian styles of sculp.
ture."

FEASTED ON LOBSTER.
He Did It on the Sly and Repentcd

He Did II on the Sly and Repentcd
Sorely Afterward.
Some years ago the government
transplanted about 10000 eastern lob
sters in Monterey bay. Before ship
ping wooden pegs had been put in
their claws so that they couldn't fight
with each other en- route to this coast.
Before transplanting those in charge
neglected to remove the wooden pegs,
with the result that the Holsters all
died.
The government accordingly sent an
other shipment and this time saw that
the pegs had been removed before
planting the Holsters.
Some time thereafter the Albatross
steamed into Monterey bay, under the
command of the United States fish
commission, looking for results of the
1ransplanting. Lobster traps were set
ut different points, but nary lobster
was captured. The government then
posted notices Offering $4,000 for a
specimen Of the transplanted Holsters.
Two years passed. A Santa Cruz
fisherman, out in his little smack,
caught one of the Holsters. Then.
thinking that there was law against
catching them, he sneaked the lobster
to his home, cooked it, ate it and de-
stroyed all evidence. Later he divulg-
ed the secret to some other fishermen.

And they broke to him the sad news
that there was reward Of $1,000 for
sample lobster from the bay.

fisherman and fainted.-San Francisco

THE EXCITEMENT
STILL PREVAILS
London's Sensation Over the
Battle With Anarchists
Still Holds Stage

London, Jan. 4-Public excitement
over the hunting of the anarchist
burglar gang continues at fever heat.
Today great crowds swarmed about
the dingy east end street which yes
terday was the scene of battle ti..
like of which had not baen known ;,i
the history Of London's police dc
partment. The police, WHO have been
greatly overworked during the past
forty-eight hours, had their hands full
in keeping the streets open to traf-
f1c. while the detective department,
pursued its investigation into the
Russian anarchist colony with un-
renting energy.
During the night the police thor
oughly overhauled the ruine Of the
tenement house in Sidney street where
the outlaws made their last stand and
were shot or burned to death in the
fight with the police and soldiers. The
officers discovered parts of another
body. While little except the head
and neck was intact. the authorities
have no doubt the parts were from
the body of Peter the Painter" who
last night was believed to have been
still at large. All three bodies re-
covered from the burned house were
found in the back room on the ground
floor. The claim is established, ap-
parently, that the building was fir
ed by the desperadoes. It Is thought
that when the trapped men found
their ammunition nearly spent and es-
impossible. they set fre to the build
ing and committed suicide. No pa
pers were found throwing light on
the operations Of the gang.
After days reflection the sober
