OLD CITY ON TEMPLE SITE
American Archeolopists Have Con-
WINGED Themselves Of Facts Con-
corning Ancient Ssrdis.

Doctor Hogarth, Keeper of the Ash
mclean museum in Oxford, recently
gave a series of lectures on the exca-
vatiOns conducted by American archie
Ologists at Sardis. About fifty Latin
Inscriptions we're discovered i'm the
temple ruins by the Americans. Most
of the Inscriptions were found, how
ever, on the lower slopes of the noun
tain at the rear of the temple.
The object of the undertaking was
to settle the question as to- whether
the temple columns stood on the site
of the ancient Sardis or whether IL
had disappeared with the collapse Of
the acropOlis. The Psychologists sat
isfied themselves that the ancient
town did stand on the temple site.
The theory is that the temple was
built originally in the Fourth century I;
indeed, one of the Inscriptions discov-
cred dates back to the time of An
tigonOus, or about 300 b. c. Traces
have also been found of an earlier
sandstone temple under the other
fragments. Originally the temple had
eight columns In each Of the two
facades; not many architects today
would design a building to support
such great weight on such supports.
The work Of excavation was great
ly facilitated by the importation Of a
whole railroad from the United States.

REMINDER OF MIDDLE AGES
English Clergyman Likely Will Have
to Stand Trial on the Charge
OF Heresy.

Charges of heresy-with the posi-
bility that England will have an &C.
clesiastical trial such as il has not
known since the Middle ages-have
been filed against the Rev. II. ID. A.
Major, principal of Ripon hail. theO-
logical institute in oxford, by the Rev.
L. 4. Douglas. Further action rests
with the bishop of oxford, with whom
the charges have been placed.
The action grew out of an article
by the Rev. Mr.. Major, in which he
said that the resurrection of Christ
was a spiritual but not a physical
happening. The Rev. Mr.. Douglas
charges him with publishing doctrine
contrary to the teachings of creeds
and OF holy scripture" and also "Of
importing into the Christian religion
the teachings of the eastern mystic.
Buddha."
The Rev. Mr.. Major holds no ben
efice, SO the case can not, be tried
through the bishops court. The pro-
cedure which must be followed is the
old procedure by inquisition.' Under
this the bishop having received the
information appoints IAN inquisitiOn
Of priests" to hear testimony.
The Rev. Mr.. Major, since the filing
OF the charges, has announced he will
defend his position.

organized a jazz band, obtained the
services of Ward De Wolf to assist
her in singing and dancing, and
started out on a very successful vau-

good looks, and the peculiar, grace
without which no dancer can ascend
to headline heights. Miss Regay is
by turns ball room dancer, a clas-
steal dancer and jazz stopper. Her
versatility is one of her charms
Only now and then does such a
comedian as Jack Rose come this

rRAPPERs WARNED TO
TAKE IN THEIR TRAPA

Now that the trapping season -
closed, the Conservation Department
Of Louisiana has Issued warning to
trappers that they must take up the
traps in the runs and store them
against the opening of the next sea-
con, beginning November /. Those
who wish to observe the law can have
no purpose In leaving traps in the runs
for they have no right to catch fun.
bearing animals now. and the leaving
out Of traps may cause other trappers
to believe they are flagrantly and in
tentionally violating the law.
When the trapping law was enacted
those engaged in the business looked
askance at its provisions. and resented
any interference by the State with
what they regarded as their immemo-
rial right to take wild creatures at their
pleasure. But each season has brought
conversions, until now there are few
intelligent trappers in the State who
do not recognize that the law Is al
much in their interest as 1t Is In the
interest of the community at large.
Under the restriction of time they get
better fur and hence better prices, and
aave found that by giving the animals
. chance to breed and rear their young
they can secure more high grade fur
In q season than they formerly could
take Of low-grade fur. Indeed. in some
sections petitions are being circulated
among trappers asking that the season
begin November IL, or as late as De-
cember 1, instead Of November 1.
Conservationists may differ as to
the advisability OF the change. but
there Is a unanimity OF opinion that
the law as it stands. Y generally en-
forced, will ensure a perpetuity OF the
fur supply. And the law is being more
and more generally observed, because
trappers have como to see the advank-
age to themselves OF its enforcement,
and are lending assistance to the Con-
servation in checking up violations.

AS COMET SWINGS TTs TAIL
Speed Records Of Celestial Bodies Are
All Broken When They Turn
Around the Sun.

One Of the most remarkable things
about comets is the presence of a
tail. Not that all have them. Many
possess such appendages, and some
make marvellous displays. However,
the tail appears to be transient af-
fair somehow due to the comets
proximity to the sun. A periodic comet
which displays a magnificent tail at
one apparition may show little or moth
ing Of this character upon another Oc-
casion.
As a typical comet swings swiftly
round the sun, the tail seems to swing
around as well. Always 1t stretches
from the comet In direction away
from the sun. AS the tail may be
many millions of miles in length. an
explanation is needed TO cover the
question as to how II Is possible In
a few days TO swing the tail through
an arc of $50 degrees. Some comets
are extraordinarily rapid movers as
they round the sun. Thus. the periodic
comet of 1913 reached, in its swing
round, the wonderful velocity of 300
miles per second. However, 1t is more
particularly the rapid angular swing
Of the tail that needs explanation. II
the tail is precisely the same object
throughout, 72-hour swing of hun
dred million miles of tail through two
right angles would mean that the
terminal particles covered an arc con-
siderably over 15OOOO.OOO miles long
at the rate of some 600 miles per sec
