RECORDS WRITTEN ON WOOD
Laws So Recorded Were Rather for
Preservation Than With Idea of
General Circulation.

Ionan culture was different In its
form from any development of later
times, and most difficult to under
stand, having been addressed to the
ears and not to the eyes, writes Mary
Mills Patrick In the National Geo
graphic Magazine, The sixth century
B. c., was an age without free dis
tribution Of written records and the
beginnings Of Libraries were mostly col
lections of wooden tablets.
Some Of the great men of the lat.
ter part of this period each wrote a
book, but it was a laborious task.
Heraclltus Of Ephesus was one Of
those who wrote a book which was
kept for safety in the temple Of Di-
ana at Ephesus. A book was not a
thing to be lightly regarded, and the
process Of writing was so difficult that
It was far easier to remember what
one had written than to declpher it
from a book.
Greek writing was hard to read be-
cause neither the words nor the sem
fences were divided from each other,
and the lines ran both from right to
left and from left to right Scion and
PittakoS wrote their laws on wooden
tablets, However, they did not write
them for general circulation, but rather
to preserve the laws they had pro-
mulgated.

musses, and as this fish is not by any
means abundant its maintenance is OF
prime Importance TO the welfare OF the
button industry. In 1919 more than
one half million shipjacks were res
cued The peculiar requirements OF the
young mussels having been carefully
determined, the bureau of fisheries has
gone extensively into the business OF
artificial propagation of pearly mus
sells by a method which is vast i'm
provement on nature.
THE spawning mussels, held IN
ponds, are at the critical period pro-
vided with the special fishes needed for
the attachment of the young. The
fishes obtained in the rescue operations
are turned into the ponds at the time
the mussels are spawning and become
thickly inoculated. They are then lib
Grated in the open water and distribute
themselves and the mussels through
out a wide stretch of river. Thus two
important branches Of the bureaus
work go hand in hand.
"The artificial propagation of fresh
water mussels is one of the functions
of the United States fisheries biologi-
ca. laboratory located on the Mississip-
pi river mead Fsirport, la. Each year
from 100000 to 300,0O0,000 young
mussels are thus brought in contact
with the gills of rescued fishes and
given proper start in life, The main
tenance Of the mussel supply is thus
being greatly aided That this work
is not mere experiment, but is yield
ing practical results, is shown by vari'
Gus pieces of evidence. For instance
pearl buttons have been made from
Mississippi river mussels grown from
lsrva that had been artificially i'm
planted on the gills Of black bass less
than two years before and had been
under constant observation. These
mussels would have attained full com.
mercial size at the age Of four and
one half years.'-From National Geo
graphic Society Bulletin.

PROMOTE PEARL BUTTONS.
By Rescuing Black Bass, on the ellis Of
Which Mussels Grow.

Complexity Of modern industry is
aptly illustrated by the fact that your
pearl buttons are dependent upon pres
ervation of certain Mississippi river
fish. This economic curiosity is ex-
planned in a communication Of Hugh
NJ. Smith. who says that the perpetu-
alton Of the fish supply in the Missis-
sippi and its tributaries involves very
important industry beside fishing. In
vestigations conducted for the bureau
OF fisheries years ago showed an init
mate relation between certain kinds Of
fishes and the mussels, which yield val
liable pearls and support q pearl but
ton industry which gives employment
10 about 10000 persons and has prod
net worth from s5.OOO,OOo 20 $1,000 600
