owners- Two form* of expert licenses
are provided for in the Sutherland

to ship Outside trophies of game an
imals and birds for mounting and re
turn on payment of one dollar for
each trophy. That other would per

modern drilling outfit,. F. A. Johnson

W. J. McDonald, district supervisor
of the Cfeugaca national fcrest, in a
recent late meat to the Anchorage
limes. The progress of the prepara

very cMeeiy by Mr. McDonald, be
cause the forest service has been as

Smw to Be “Vo New
Thing Under the Sun”
It seems possible to find almost any
desired object in an ancient tomb. The
latest discovery is that of a zipper*
bandy device for fastening to
bacco pouches and galoshes, which
was unearthed in a Viking burial
ground near Tilsit, East Prussia, The
modem age has known this contrap-.
lion less than 15 years, and credits
it to a Swedish engineer. Safety pins.,
supposed a modem convenience, have
been found in ancient Pompe... A
rrtber shoe was reported from a
tomb near Budapest,, ajtboiugh, the
first historical acount of rubber is in
Columbus’ story of his second voy
age. L rof the CJjaldee yielded
powder puffs and eyebrow tweezers,
and the royal lipstick was found to
have been laid to rest with the widow
of King Tut.
The preacher of the Ecclesiastics
spoke wisely when he said, “There is
no new thing under the sun.” It won., i
not be surprising to hear of Calla-1
gala’s platinum-plated radio as being
fished out <jf Lake Nemi’s mud, or
Mrs. Noah’s electric washing ma
chine reposing in the debris of the
ark.—Ex.
Backward Barbadoes.
Barbados* is a British island in
many respects, but it lacks all the
dements of progress usually found,
under the Union Jack. The island
lies in the sweep .of the trade winds,,
is wonderfully fertile, and is easily
one of the most healthy islands in
the Caribbean because of the equable
climate. In Bridgetown, the capital
of the Island, the nouses of the Brit
ish residents are as English as, they
ure in Liverpool or Manchester, while
the public buildings are copied from.
England. The negroes in this island s
work harder than in the others and,,,
as they are plentiful, their pay
very low. The grinning of corn amt,
other farm cqimhiodities is done by<*
the old prehistoric windmill, whiles
machinery of most kinds is taboo.^-.
