Purdy complains of the lack Of light

cause Of the nature Of adjoining build
lngs. This has a bearing on public
health OF course. In residence dis
trlcts, he says, good houses, fit for a
hundred years, are torn down to make
way for a nine or ten-stOry apartment
house with an ornate front and hid
eously unclothed and unashamed rear"
1t is too late, Mr.. Purdy says, to

Disagreement, but for the other hor-

ing regulations similar to those in Eu-
rOpean cities. Berlin" he writes,
properly goes so far as not to permit
the builder to atfront the eyes of the
citizen" though German cities have
grown as fast as our cities"
Not only New York, but every

ment who works his employees or re
mains open for business on Sunday.
The saving religious clause provides
that "any person, member of re-
ligious society. observing some other
day Of worship. who actually closes
his place Of business on that day." may

The bill excerpts telephone and tele-
graph companies, all persons engaged

Prehistoric Bruins Skeleton

Los ANGELES. Jan. i1.-From the
depths Of the tar beds Of The La Brpa
ranch. just west Of this city, which
have given The world Of science such
remarkable specimens Of mammals OF
the pleistocene age. has come to light
parts of a skeleton Of a species Of bear
larger and more massive than any beal
now in existence, and which must have
stood fully two feet higher than tile
great grizzly.
The discovery Of lhe rare ancient
specimen was made yesterday by Frank
$. Daggett. director Of the Los Ange-
les county museum and his assistants
from mass Of deposit dug out Of the
La Brea fields by wurkmen for the
Southern California Academy Of
Sciences nearly two years ago. At The
time of the excavations. the specimens
Were not all extracted from the eartl
and tar in which they We're incased
and they have been cleaned. prepared
and classified slowly by scientific work
men. Because Of the slow process Of
preparing the bones for exhibition pur-
poses, the nature of the discovery die
not come to light till yesterday wher
the deposits which had been boxed 81
long were opened and examined.
This giant ancient bear must have
stood fully five and half feet wher
resting on all fours The size anl
height Of the animals is determined by
the size of the shoulder bone. 1t is
evident that when the pleistocene bear
which roamen the wilds Of southern
California with giant sloths and masto-
dons and saber- toothed tigers. rose OF
hs hind feet, he was of sufficient size
as to put unwonted fear into the heart
OF the prehistoric huntsman, armed
with his flint spear.
The complete skeleton Of the great
bear has not been discovered, but The
bones which are in the possession OF
the local museum evince the fact thai
it is entirely different from any species
of the bears known today.

AGAINST Duck SELLING

SACRAMENTO. Jan. i1.-There Will
be no more ducks for sale in California
markets in the near future; no more
batting Of duck ponds. and it Will be
unlawful to shoot ducks either before
sunrise or after sunset, if the recon-
mendatons made by members OF the
great Fish and Game Protective asso-
citation. composed of delegates from
the various districts, in conference are
adopted by the legislature. The elm
nation Of ducks as marketable game
bird was decided on only after pro-
tracted discussion. The motion was
carried on the grounds that the rights
Of the local resident and general pub
lie supersede all other rights and also
because it is impossible to prevent in
fractions of the law by pot hunters.
The proposed prohibition Of placing
bait in duck ponds will be looked on
as a blow to the duck clubs located on
private hunting grounds.
All these recommendations were
voted for unanimously. In order TO
prevent the continued violation OF the
law which provides that hunter shall
kill but two deer in a season, 1t Was
recommended that each hunter at the
time Of securing a license be issued two
tags signed by the hunter in the pres
ence of the official issuing the license.
When deer is killed. If this recon-
mendation becomes law, the hunter
must "tag" it. and then countersign
his name. The possession Of a deer
without a tag shall be deemed con-
elusive evidence Of violation of the
law.
A revision of the present law, which
makes it a crime to have deer IN pos
session in a closed district, when an
adjacent district allows hunting, was
advised. 1t is intended by this provis--
ion to allow deer killed in an adjacent
district in compliance with the reSula-
tions to be placed on sale in a district
where the season is closed. 1t is eX-
planned that if this suggestion become
law, no hunter will be enabled to kill
more than two deer in season, and
the discussion which at present arises
from different dates for open seasons
will be dispensed with.
