FOUND IT'S GOLDEN HEAD.
Riddle Of . Marble Column In ITALY
Read by a Besgar.

Near the monastery Of San Vito, in
Naples. stood a marble column that
had been erected by an eccentric
Frenchman about the beginning of the
last century. On it were written in
French the following enigmatic words:
"On May l every year have golden
head"
The inscription sorely puzzled the
inhabitants of Naples. On May the
year after the erection of the column
great crowd came to it in the hope
Of finding the top covered with gold
pieces. Needless to say, they went
home with their pockets as empty as
they were when they came.
For several years people came to see
the promised wonder and went away
had the column taken down in the be-
lief that treasure would be found be-
meath it. Nothing but earth was
found, and so the column was set up
again. Obviously the words had a
mystic meaning. but no one was clever
enough to guess it, and for years the
riddle remained unsolved.
Finally in 1S41 a ragged beggar
named Annibale Tosci noticed the in
scription. He stood looking at it for a
long time while he pondered its mean
ing. Then suddenly the solution Of
the puzzle flashed into his mind. He
waited patiently until May before he
tested the accuracy Of his interpreta-
don Of the mystic words.
On the day mentioned In the inscrip-
tion Tosci bearing pick and shovel.
set out at daybreak for the column.
He arrived before any chance visitors,
and as soon. as the monastery's bells
toIled 6 be started digging In the
ground covered by the shadow Of the
top of the column. He had not dug
long before he came on a satchel that
contained $4,000 francs. The inscrip.
tion was a true one-the head Of the
column covered the golden treasure
every year on May /.

sharp guess had given him compare.
