Prehistoric Remains Are
 Found Near Buen0s Aires

Buenos Aires, Sept. 12.--Laborers doing excavating work in the suburb of Vicente Lopez, just outside the city limits of Buenos Aires, have discovered rich deposit of fossil re- mains of the beasts who used to in- habit this part of South America in prehistoric ages. The head of a glyptodon, the predecessor of the armadlllo, together with dorsal and thigh bones, were among the finds, which included also bones of a prehistoric tiger,
 The gfptodon skull is not of the giant species, but the paleontologists of the National Museum of National History, who are conducting the ex. cavating work, consider 1t as one of the finest examples yet discovered being almost completely preserved, including nearly all the teeth.

ESKIMO VILLAGERS
 SELL WARES IN NOME
Entire Town Carscs Ivory Into Salable Products and Collects
 Enough for Winters Supplies

Nome. Alaska. Sept 12.-Every year since Nome can remember the entire native village of King Island makes a pilgrimage to the city. sr- irving about July and remaining most of the summer.
 The natives a clean, industrious and healthy lot. make the trip of approximately 1U0 miles in boats which they build from the hides of walrus. Seven of these boats carry the whole population, including all their possessions.
 The King Islanders are clever caryers. Arriving in Nome with several tons of Ivory, they carve the rough tusks into cribboards gavels, forks. knives, spoons, umbrella handles, hatpins and numerous other things. The merchants and people of Nome patronize them liberally. so that the camp usually collects thousands of dollars during the season, and these profits they put back into circulation by purchasing supplies for the next winter.
 These Eskimos enter the summer athletic contests at Nome and often develop athletes of ability. At other times they provide entertain ments with their orchestra.

South Sea Romance
 ~ Fades Before Jazz

< Papeete, Tahiti, Sept. 12.--Moving pictures and radio. jazz music, motor ,cara and bobbed hair have crowded out the old native customs of Ia hiti, and some of the romance of the South Seas oIld appear 10 be on the wane.
 Time was when July IA, the an r1iversary of the fall of the Bastile, vas the great native festival of these islands. There were singing and dancing contests among the native clans, prepared for months in ad- vance, and the competition for real excellence was keen. This year on- ly a few small and mediocre com panieS entered the contests, and in- terest was distinctly lacking. The principal centers of attraction were the dancing pavilions. Along the waterfront where jazz bands led the jewellers in fox trots to a continuous flow of warm champagne.

NEWLY WEEDS USE CABS
High Cost of Private Vehicles Drives Couples to Ride In Public One Horse Cabs.

Berlin, Sept, Waiting at the church has become a custom among the horse cab drivers here when- ever there is a wedding. Formerly, llyeried carriages brought the bride and groom to the church, and their relatives and friends, too. came in their private vehicles, carriages or automobiles.
 But in the new order of things and the high prices generally, it is not unusual for the bride and groom themselves to take a one-horse cab or taxi, from the brides home to the church. and to call another con- vsyance after the ceremony is over. Cab drivers have spotted all the fayorite churches. and by instinct appear to know the days and the hours when there Is to be a wedding.
 If 1t can be sold. the Herald clas- sified ad section will do it.

GERMAN DEC|PHERS
 BABYLON|AN MUSIC
Ancient Music Is Interpreted by
 Dr. Kurt Sachs

Berlin, Sept. 13.--Babylonian music written about the year 800 B. C., which has been deoiphered by Dr. Kurt Sachs, curator of the in- strumerts collection in the Berlin high school of music, apparently was played on a 22-string harp, and the notes have many characteristic similarities to the Chinese music of today. The instrument on which he music was played used octives. double octaves and chords in fourths and fifths.
 Details of the task of deciphering the music were described before the Prussian Academy of Science re- gently by Professor c. strumpf from notes furnished by pr. Sachs. The earthenware tablet upon which the music had been recorded has re- clined for a long time in the middle eastern section of the Prussian state museum. In size 1t is roughly equal to five ordinary bricks. The tablet was unearthed in Assur, the Babyloniah capital, and while the music is believed to have been written somewhere near the year 800 B. C., it is thought to represent notes of even a much earlier period.
 The inscription is in three col umrs. The first column contains some marks heretofore undeciphered and the second is a religious poem, descriptive of the creation of man from the blood of the gods, in the Sumerian tongue-a. tongue even then long dead. except as language of religion and the law. The third is a faulty translation of the poem of Assyrian.
 The inscription in the first column, written in cuneiform, con- sisted of Sumerian words of one syllable, written upon line, but ap- parently without sequence or mean- ing Hitherto it had defeated the efforts of the Assyriologists, as has also somewhat similar tablet in the British Museum, London, con- taining six columns, of which the first and fourth were undecipher- able.
 The Assyriologists at the Prus- sian Museum recently conceived the idea that the first column might be intended to express a rhythm or even time. and Doctor Sachs, taking up this theory as practical musi- elan and antiquarian. began to test it. In 70 lines he found 62 differ ent syllables. By a process of con- densation Dr. Sachs reduced all the sounds and after overcoming a great many other difficulties he con- cluded that the cuneiform notation represented poyphonic system.

ARTIFICIAL, LIGHTS
INCREASE WINTER
EGG PRODUCTION

Experiments curing the last three
years at the State College have dem.
onstrated that artificial lights, used
properly, will greatly increase winter
egg production and thereby increase
profits,
BY frightening the day by the use
of light. the hens are allowed time to
consume a greater amount OF food
and therefore make more eggs.
There are three methods OF using
light to make the day twelve or four
teen hours long. according to J. H
Wood, professor OF poultry husband
ry at the State College aid in charge
of the experiments with artificial H.
Illumination The first is to turn on
the lights at four A. NJ. and allow
them to remain on an hour. The sec
ond method is use light from six A
M. and keep them on in the evening
until eight O'Clock. The third. called
"the evening lunch method and which
has proved the most popular in the
eastern states is to turn the lights on
at eight in the evening and allow
them to remain on an hour.
At the College the first method has
been used, and it was found that birds
under light laid from thirty to sixty
per cent more than birds not under
light.
Prof. Wood advises the use OF
lights ON either pullets or hens when
the object is market eggs but says
they should not be used on breeders
until the breeding season. and they
are not generally needed in Georgia
at that time 1t takes about two weeks
for lights to affect egg production
