Old City of Timaad.

Timgad Ia an ancient Roman city.
forgotten and buried on the slopes Of
the Aures mountains. The desert
winds heaped the market places and
ruined streets with shifting sand; the
jackals and birds of prey made the
stately forum, with its crumbllng col
umns, their haunts and hunting
grounds. For centuries Timgad lay de-
serted and forgotten, unvisited except
by occasional wandering caravans.
In recent years. however, the city
has been partially restored and exca-
vated by French architects and arch
eologists. The columns of the facade
Of the capitol have been re-erected
the sand cleared from the mosaic floors
Of the ruined baths, whose colors are
as fresh and bright as In the old days
Of Roman splendor. The arch of Ira
Jan over one of the two main streets
stands as 1t did In the days OF the
great emperor, the founder of the city.
The amphitheater, typically Roman
held at least 1900 spectators In the
days when gladiatorlal combats were
considered respectable.

Her Golden cIreIet.

There are several theories as to the
origin of the wedding ring. Here Is
one Of them: Before the time Of mints
and coinage the gold money In Egypt
was made 10 the form Of ring, usu-
ally worn on the finger as convenient
method of carrying and safe keeping.
The men and women, therefore, had all
their gold or wealth made into rings,
and for the majority of people these
rings were no larger than the plain
gold bands Of today. Thus, when the
groom placed the ring on the brides
finger he meant exactly what the mod
ern service makes him say-he did ac.
tuaIly endow his bride with oil his
worldly goods.

INSCRIPTION ON FlsH's TAIL
Mystery to Natives Of Zanzibar,
Though Scientists Say II 10 Moth
/, ins Much Out Of the Ordinary.

A strange fish was recently caught
at Zanzibar with Arabic characters
upon its tail. The fish was not one
of large haul, but was caught by
single fisherman, who brought 1t to the
fish market. There 1t remained for
some time, having no purchaser, as 1t
was a strange fish and one that had
never been seen before in those wa
tiers. Finally an Indian of the sect
called "Memen" purchased 1t and, on
the strange markings being noticed, It
was taken to widely-known Arab
scholar. who, deciphered the inscrip-
tion. 1t was afterward taken to the
sultan, who also recognized the word
ing.
That night 5000 rupees was offered
for the fish and refused, and on the
following day 5000 rupees was re-
fused, according to Scientific Amer
lean. The original price paid for the
fish was 5 pice (about 8 cents) and 1t
was eventually decided to have 1t pre-
served. For this purpose 1t was taken
to the government laboratory, where 1t
was treated with formaline. 1t has
since been placed on public exhibition.
There are two distinct inscriptions
on the tail, one on each side. On the
one side 1t reads "Laillaha Illalah"
("There is no God but Allah') and on
the other "Shani Allah" CA warning
sent from Allah"). There is no sus-
picion Of anything in the nature Of a
fake about the matter and the mystery
is SO complete that no explanation of
the strange phenomenon is forthcom-
ing. The Arabic lettering is perfectly
plain and the discovery has caused
wonderment throughout the Moham-
medan community Of Zanzibar.
1t was identified as holacanthus
semicirculatus, Cuv. ct VAL, a widely
distributed Indo-Pacific species OF
chaetontidae. An authority on zoology
considers the markings as falling with
in the limits Of normal variation Of the
| species.

AUTOMOBILE DISASTER WILL
PROBABLY RESULT IN SUIT

The account in the Press last week
of the terrible automobile accident
which resulted in the death of Alfred
R. Price and Mr.. and Mrs. George W.
Hansell at Rosslia, Wash, Tuesday
afternoon, September 10. was prac-
tically correct, except as to a few
details.
1t later develops thlt Mrs. Price
suffered no fractures, as reported but
was badly bruised about the hips. Mr..
Price was taken to doctors office
in Rosalia, where, after speaking and
saying he was badly hurt, he died in a
few minutes. The two little grand
daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Hansell.
almost five-year-old twins, were taken
by relatives to Lewiston. and Mrs.
Price remains at the home Of rel
ative at Rosalia.
Accounts appearing in the Colfax
papers show that the accident was
purely the result of the county author
tiles allowing the bridge to remain in
an unsafe and dangerous condition.
The planking, placed lengthwise of
the bridge to permit large trucks to
cross in doing comfy roadwork, was
the direct cause of the accident, and
this fact is substantiated by these
papers in printing the facts, and also
commenting on an accident the week
previous, when car driven by man
and his wife from Hay, Wash, was
wrecked and the occupants injured.
Rosalia people say the fatal wreck
was the fourth automobile accident to
occur on or near the bridge during the
past year.
This being the situation. 1t is prob
BILE that suit for damages will be
brought against the county. Marion
Hansell left Monday for Rosalia where
an inquest and Investigation concern
ing the accident was to be held. the
frequency of accidents at the bridge
being the cause for the coroner calling
