Notions as to Lost Arts.r

Current tradition credits the ancients
with many lost arts" 1t is still COM
mon to hear people say that means
unknown to us must have been en-
ployed to erect the pyramids, that the
Damascus blade is beyond the power
of modern cutters and that the art of
hardening copper died with some little
brown Aztec
In point of fact, larger stones than
any found in the pyramids have been
quarried in Maine, carried across the
sea and erected in buildings in Eng,
land and France, If any one cared to
pay the cost there are plenty of con-
tractors who would build a replica of
the largest pyramid and would not
take SO very long about it.
1t is doubtful whether a Damascus
blade" will stand as much as a good
modern hand saw or the spring of a
cheap clock.
Copper can be hardened by modern
methods to equal any specimen that
has been left to us by the ancients.
Many arts that are supposed to be lost
are simply abandoned because there
is no modern need of cultivating them
and others are not even abandoned
but employed every day and improved
upon.-New York Tribune,

Head Hunters of the Philippines.

Curiously enough. the head hunting
peoples of the Philippines are appar-
emily limited to northern Luzon. None
of the warlike hill tribes inhabiting
other parts of the archipelago are
known to take the heads Of their VIC
tins. The explanation Of their head
hunting customs which is given by the
Negritos of northeastern Luzon is very
simple They believe that each family
must take at least one head year or
suffer misfortune in the form of sick
ness. wounds. starvation or death
Their victims are always beheaded
with bolos Heads are buried in the
ground under the houses" Of the men
who take them. Plates or Ollas are
placed over the spots where the heads
are buried and possibly contain offer
ings to evil spirits. The houses" under
which heads are buried are then aban-
doned and their supposedly fortunate
owners look forward to a period free
from Death sickness or Injury and to
success in their hunting and fishing

Old ENGLISH Press Gangs.

In the past the news of shortage

for the navy, and persuasion" was

MANY SEEK POSITIONS
Scores Want to Be Special Po-
Iicemen Inauguration Week.
Police Plans Hanging Fire.

Many applications for positions on the
force of special policemen who are to
serve during the inaugural period have
been made to the police department, but
all are told that the appointment of such
a force depends entirely upon the action
of Congress.
A bill appropriating $4,000. to be ex-
pended under the direction of the Com
missioners. has passed the Senate, and
1t only remains for the measure to pass
the House of Representatives and receive
the signature OF President Taft. The ex-
penditures probably will not amount to
as much as is provided in the bill. the
District authorities having returned to
the Treasury an unexpended balance four
Not only does the bill provide for an
appropriation, but 1t contains a provision
which will enable the Commissioners to
make certain regulations deemed abso-
Autely necessary in order to give the nee
essary protection to life and property OF
residents and visitors. Heretofore the po-
lice department has had several hundred
special policemen to assist the regular
force. many of the specials having been
sent to outlying districts and the trained
policemen placed in the business section
where the crowds always are the largest

Gals in all sections.
asked to provide will also come the money
to pay for the rop.ng Of Pennsylvania
avenue and 18th street, and establish
ment. of hospital stations along the line
Of march.
Not until the passage of the bill and
the pronunciation of regulations governing
the inaugural period can the police de-
partment act.
1t is the belief Of the Commissioners
and chief of police that the bill soon will
Oe passed, when regulations will be
adopted and published and arrangements
will be perfected to make the Inaugural
ton a success. Four years ago similar
bill was approved January q.
1t is probable the regulations this year
will be similar to those promulgated four
years ago.
They will deal with the maintenance of
public order, regulate the erection Of
small eating and other stands, contain
provisions about the reviewing stands
and provide against fires. Frank Wagner,
chief of the fire department will deal
with questions relating to fire protec-
ton.

LITTLE STURGEON, Wis, January

the male population of this village.
were swept out in Lake Michigan late
last night, when a large ice foe from
which they were fishing cracked and
fioated away from shore All We're

The cries OF the men brought the
men, women and children to the shore.
where they stood in terror and watched
their loved ones being slowly swept
into Lake Michigan.
Small boats were manned by boys.
and after a perilous ride through ice
cakes some of the men were taken
ashore.
The boats were too small to carry all.
and some of the others discarded their
heavier clothing and swan through the
icy water to safety.
The wind swept the ice cake farther
from safety, with six men on il. -Four
swan ashore early today. Their cloth
ing was frozen stiff when they arrived at
their homes.
John Pletier and Peter Olson remained
on the ice all night. They burned their
fishnets to keep warm, and today reached
shore at Pilot Island, eleven miles from
their homes.
