The Rnino OF Pompell.

Animal stories are somewhat rare
In archaeology, but these pictures will
help 20 tell a story which has been
occupying the serious attention Of
German antiquaries. Before the Ber.
lin Society OF the History OF Art, Dr.
Harry David recently announced his
discovery OF a fraud" In the Naples
museum. in the shape OF the bas-relief
Of rhinoceros said TO have been
found at Pompeii
The doctor triumphantly pointed out
that the basrelief was really a copy
OF a drawing by Durer In the British
museum, and that, therefore, the Ital-
fans had been deceived The italian
authorities. however, retorted by stat
ing that the bas-rellef did not appear
in any official catalogue. and that, az
a matter OF fact. the fraud" was
really the result Of book by a Ger.
man writer!

Fortunately, the letter of the boss
Of the Armour interests to his hired
man in London was. published; for
now the people of this country, as
well as the English government, will
know what the position of Armour &
Co. is.
We know now that the hope Of
selling hogs and cattle to England is
stronger in the bullying patriotic
bosom of ]. Ogden Armour than his
respect for the neutral policy of the
president of the United States.
It would have been just as bad
taste had the letter gone to an Ar
mour representative in Germany.
1t isn't that the beef baron sympa-
thized with the England government,
but that he publicly expressed sym
pathy for any of the countries in
Volved in the war.
It may be that ]. Ogden Armour's
head is so swelled by the millions ne
inherited and has made since, that
he fondly imagines he is bigger than
Uncle Sam.
Or possibly it may be the influence
of stOckyards' environment.

RomeIs Abundant Water supnlx.

The fact is probably not generally
known that the citizens Of Rome as
far back as 800 A. D. were favored
with a water supply amounting to 400
gallons or more per capita daily. The
Romans had a full appreciation of the
value OF an abundant supply Of pure
water as ministertng to the health of
a city Of 1000. 900 souls The Romans
Of imperial days had a passion for
cleanliness and the stupendous public
baths of Trajan, Diocletian and Con-
stantdne capable Of accommodate
ing at one time from 1000 to 5000
bathers. The water in Rome was the
property Of the crown, and 1t was led
to the private houses by thousands OF
pipes, which ran in every direction
and under every street and were
stamped with the name Of the "conces-
sionatre" to whom it was brought from,
the nearest crown reservoir.

SPARROW PEST IN ENGLAND
In Many Country Places They Are
Caught In Nets and Ueed
for Food.

In certain country places, especially
near towns, a new source of food Is be-
ing exploited, says the London Globe.
At n stockyard after another you
see village laborers stretching fold
nets for sparTows. and the birds are
being caught simply for food. They
keep down the butchers bill.
The number of sparrows is now Inn
mense. probably greater than 1t ever
has been. The regular winter popula-
ton Of n small stockyard near Lon
don is estimated by the farmer at
over 1000. These 1000 mouths he
fills largely with his grain. The apar-
rows have completely driven away al
most all other varieties Of birds 9 Z.
cept a few f1nches.
The sparrow Is said by the trapper
to make an excellent stew. or pie, or
soup. It is a clean feeder, subsisting
all the year, except for a month In
the spring, on grain. and it takes from
the farmer an enormous toll. Consid-
ering the enormous population of spar
rows, 1t Is not surprising that this
source Of food is being tapped.

The connection between the PENN.

past seven may. at first. seem some
what puzZling. AS q matter of fact,
however, we owe the habit Of dining
at that hour to the Duke Of Wellington.
It was the custom Of the Iron Duke
when on his campaigns not to sit down
to table until the days fighting was
over. whenever that might be. and
then he generally partook Of a beef
steak pudding. which, he said, pos
seBRed two virtues. It was an app
thing dish. and did not spoil by keep
ing.
On his return home he apparently
brought this custom with him, and his
officers brought the pudding to the
United States Service club, from
which It spread to other clubs. The
dukes chef was named Felix, and 1t
was he who hit upon the happy idea
OF improving the favor Of his masters
