forum. Everything lies destroyed and
broken in places. Another attraction
is the amphltheater and other smaller
theaters the whole eastern part seems
to consist mainly of ruins of theaters
and temples Of heather Gods; the
western part used to be the a%ristocratic
part of the city where specimens of
beautiful patrician homes are ex-
hibited. The mosaics so we'll preserv-
ed here are simply wonderful and
their taste for comfort and beauty are
worth imitation. The living rooms
are turned away from the street
chambers open on to the streets aud
were sometimes used by merchants
and artisans. Most of the houses are
entered from the street by a narrow
passage leading into a court This
court is enclosed by a covered passage,
with it's roof sloping inward in the
center is a square opening called COM
pluvium, below is a shallow reservoir.
called the compluvium. On the right
and left are bedrooms and at the rear
part of the court are open spaces,
where the wealGhier Romans used to
place the statues of their ancestors,
A door from this part Of the court
leads to a large chamber, the front
of which was used for the inter-
course with the outer world and
transaction of business, something
like a reception room and the rest
was exclusively used for the family.
It's center was a court or garden !;
around this are the parlors, the draw
ing rooms and dining room located,
the position of the kitchen varies.
The upper floor was chiefly occupied
by their slaves.
One of these patrician homes was
remodeled into a restaurant where
visitors can take refreshments.
All this glory which had cost mil
lions of money and many years of hard
labor and the skill of cunning artists
was destroyed like in a moment to
teach the generations of the far off
future the lessons of the past.

THE NEW FEDERAL
NEWSPAPER LAW
Sworn Statements of Ownership Etc
Required and All Paid Notices
to BIS So Marked

The government doesn't seem to be
happy any more unless it is telling
publishers how to run their business.
or at least debating to them IN some
way how they must run it.
The latest is a law recently enacted
by the national congress and which
went into effect on October 1st.
The law requires publishers to file
on April 1st and October 1st of each
year With the postmaster general and
with the local postmaster, a sworn
statement of the names and addresses
of the owner, publisher, editor,
managing editor and business manager
of their newspapers and periodicals.
Religious, fraternal, temperance and
scientific publications are exempt
The Herald published its first state
ment required by this law last week.
In case any paper fails to make such
sworn statement it will be denied
ADMISSION to the mails
For a corporation publishing a ne VS.
paper the names of the holders Of the
stocks, bonds or other securities must
be given. and in the case of daily
newspapers, a statement of the aver
age paid circulation for the preced-
ing six months is required.
All editorial or other reading
matter appearing in a newspaper or
magazine for the publication Of
which pay is accepted or promised,
must be marked advertisement, 4"
under penalty OF a fine of not less
than $50 and not more than 5000
Because Of this new law it is con-
strued that all local announcements,
etc., for which a charge is made,
published hereafter in newspaper
columns, must be marked Advertise
ment" or run under a heading
which plainly indicates that they
are advertising. Just what this
law hopes to accomplish is not yet
clear, but owing to its inqnisitorial
and annoying features publishers ex-
pect to combine for a test case to be
submitted to the courts. holding that
such a law is unconstitutional. In
the meantime the provisions of the
law will be obeyed, and paid notices
will be marked advertising as requir-
ed. So if our friends find their little
business announcements SO labeled
they will understand that it is not
done because we wish it but because
the new law requires it.
