EPIGRAPHs PROVE A PUZZLE
Explanation Of tiieroaIyphies Admit
ted'y Very Old VIII Surely Be Of
the Greatest Interest

Amateur archeologlsts OF California
are endeavoring to interest profes-
sional scientists Of the East In the
epigraphs which abound on the rocks
of Round Valley. not far from the city
Of Bishop. and which are believed to
be us old, II not older, than the hero
: glyphlcs of earliest Egypt, TO which
they bear strange resemblance.
1t Is believed by many that the
strange markings constituted the
names by which ancient tribes marked
the source OF water supply for the
benefit Of those nr tlcir number who
lived rowing lives.
These hieroglyphIcs have never been
deciphered. although they are matters
of record In the leading museums of
the country. 1t is said. The Indian
tribes now living In the vicinity de-
clare they are the work OF the Indians
of North America and that they ante
date all aboriginal lore.
Some who have examined the
strange markings in the filnty bowl
ders say the heiroglyphics closely re-
semble those OF earliest Egypt and
may replace the latter as the first
written language of humanity.
They are found always in the vicin-
ity of water supplies, the same mark
ings discovered near Bishop appearing
also on rocks extending through the
Canadian border. down through Wash

Why the unhappy ending is the

story writing is easy to explain.
Stories with unhappy endings are
easier to write. The human mind IL
naturally subjective and sad; vocabu-

more adjectives, verbs and ndverbs
to express sorrow and gloom than to
express happiness and light-hearted-
ness.

a debate, but as far as the men In the

French Live Stock on III. Decline.

The United States food administra-
tion has called attention to the large
decrease in live stock In France since
the beginning OF the war. In cattle
this decrease amounted TO 2,599 900 up
TO December, 1917; nssheep the de-
crease amounted to G.23s.0O0 head In
hogs TO 2,s69, 600 head. In the period
since owing to the food shortage there
has been still further shrinkage. Fig
ures like these indicate that there will
he large and lnsistent demand for
live stock from this country for the
foreign trade for many years after
