OPPOSE SPECTACULAR TRADING
Grain Operators Prepared to Calmly
 Face War Situation.

Chicago, Aug. 3.-With plans laid to prevent speculative trading in the wheat market and with no troubles expected among the firms on the Chicago board of trade, the grain operators here prepared today to face with calmness another week of war in Europe.
 Most of the large operators this morning have declared that the market is too uncertain for intelligent trading and have announced that they will keep out of it as far as possible. The heavy margins exacted by brok- CTS in the last week are said to have had a salutary effect in deterring wild trading. and the market is said to be in much better shape than a week ago.

HORSE FOSSIL
Found in Southern California a
Million Years Old

San Franciso, Jan. 5.-The fossils OF
a horse one million years old. which
had three toes and was no larger than
a sheep, are the latest archaeological
specimens to be added to the museum
of the University of California.
Professor John G. Merriam discov.
cred the valuable specimens in the as
phalt beds of Rancho La Brea, in
Southern California. He declares that
the little horse lived in the Mojave
desert at least a million years ago.
He has entered it in the fossil studbook
as ''parahippus m%ourningi." The
bones of the "forest borse.' as big az
n colt, which lived in Walker Lake re
gion in Nevada in prehistoric times
are among other discoveries.
Eleven complete skulls of the equus
occidentalis. a holse as big as the
animal CT today, which roamed Cali
fornia $50, 900 years ago, have also
been added to the collection of fossils.
From the similarity Of the fossil horses
of Rancho La Brea and those of Europe

MANY CHANGES
During the Year of 19l3-New
Laws and Constitutional
Amendments

Washington, Jan. 5.-The twelve
months of 1913 have wrought change:
in the American government, political,
economical and financial, probably
more far reaching than any other year
of the last quarter century. This was
apparent in a backward glance ovel
the memorable events Of the past year
in all branches Of governmental &C.
tivity.
The democratic administration OF
national affairs came into power in
this twelve months with a democratic
president and a democratic congress
at its back for the first time since
Grover Cleveland occupied the White
House.
The first constitutional amendments
since 1879 were perfected providing
two radical changes, the fundamentals
of a government income tax and the
direct election of United States sena
tors.
The national bank and currency
system devised to fiat the debt of the
civil war was reorganized into a fed
ersl reserve system.
The democratic tariff law became
effective and it is the first since the
Wilson bill of 1893 and one of the most
comprehensive tariff measures ever en-
acted
The parcel post system was brought
into successful operation. The inter
state commerce commission began a
physical valuation of the railways. a
project which will cost millions and
take years to complete.
The last steps of building the Pan
anna canal have been taken.
Practically the control of the Phil
lippine government was delivered to
the natives by Wilson's appointment of
a native majority on the Philippine
commission.

N SENSES DULLED,
Sir Gilbert Parker Says Modern Rush
| Is Devitalizino Faculties.

Se'h'S
London.-Is life being made so me
ckanically easy that some Of our senses
are losing their vitality and useful
ness? was the question suggested by
Sir Gilbert Parker in an address at the
post graduate college Of the West Lon
don hospital.
A great many accidents, he said,
were due to limited and inadequate
observation. He knew a chauffeur who
could see very well ahead of him, but
If he wanted to see right or left he
had to turn his head to the right or
left.
Every n knew that the trained and
educated eye could see right or left
without turning the head. 1t seemed
to him that the very nervous excite
ment Of the age was due not to the
many stirring noises of the great city
life, but to the fact that to the senses
was given too little responsibility, or,
rather, less responsibility than in the
olden days.
Something ought to be done, IL he
were right. He believed that the boy
scout movement vas a step in the
right direction. He should like to add
to the boy scout training blindfold OBJ
servation. Boys and girls should be
let loose In fields and streets, under
and memorize what they heard or felt.

FINDS A MlTHRAiC MARBLE.
Professor lanciani Uncovers Treasure
Beneath C%aracaIla's Baths.

Rome.-Senator Rudolfo Lanciani is
having much success with the work
which he is carrying on in and under
the great baths of Caracalla.
The baths are always yielding new
things, and excavations are now pro.
ceeding in su~bterranean passages,
which are found to be over three miles
long and are expected to yield much
treasure. The latest and perhaps the
most interesting marble is a group of
sacrifice to Mithras. A Mithraic tenn
pie came to light some time ago.
The fragments show the group repre-
senting the god Mithras killing a bull,
which was being licked by a sacred
dog and a serpent. while a scorpion
stung him.
