When tbo premier arose to speak ho was met with a veritable torrent of seom and Insult. "Traitor, traitor!" was roared In deafening tones from the opposition benches. These yells were accompa nied by a perfect cataract of jeers and taunts, with which were mingled half hearted sentences of violent criticism. In the midst of the confusion Mr. Asqulth tried again and again to make himself heard, but he was always cut off at tbo end of a few words. Once, when alluding to tho death of King Edward, lie was Interrupted by cries of "Who killed tho king?" and "Keep tho king out of it!" At every inter ruption five members of the ministry retorted with counter cries and with virulence that was equal to that of the opposition until the feelings of the rivals was so fevered that a disgrace ful brawl seemed Inevitable.

Ethnologists will be Interested In n discovery inado by Assistant Curator wiiuam Aitnianu or Golden Gato Park Memorial museum namely, tho fact hitherto denied that tho Digger In dians of California wero acnunlnted nt least with tho rudiments of pottery making. Until now no pottery of Dig ger Indian manufacture has ever been found, says Altmann, and thereforo ho highly values the find he made in nn Indian burial mound at Concord, in Contrn Costa county. From nn excavation mnde by work men in the employ of tho Port Costa Water company have been found a largo number of Indian relics of great ago, including tho specimens of crude pottery already mentioned and the skeleton of nn Indian giant more tluin seven feot tall Tho skeleton Is in pos session of Dr. Neff of Concord, who Is mounting it for exhibition. Tho pot tery speclmons consist of charm stones of baked clay of splndlo shnpe mid pierced so that they may bo suspended from tho neck by cords. In addition, there are a large number of knives and arrowheads of obsidian, or vol canic glass, which is extremely rare In this part of tho state, and leads to tho belief that they wero brought down by Shasta or Modoc Indians and traded for other things with tho Dig gers of Contra Costa. A striking peculiarity about theso arrowheads Is their shape nnd pat tern. They aro notched in a very painstaking wny with Jagged division and resemble very much some of the weapons of Filipino savages.

Lightning Communication by Means of Elemental Sounds. A student of phonetics and philolo gy, M. J. M. Chappaz of Mleussy, France, asserts that, llko tho chemist who has reduced compounds to ele ments, he has reduced all spoken words of civilized languages to their elemental sounds, and by thoso sounds he purposes to Invent a method of rapid communication hitherto un known. Ho writes of tho proposed In veution as follows: "An instantaneous language, con slstlug of a new phonetic method gut up by forty-threo polyglot professors of divers countries, enabling all tin inhabitants of tho world to pronounce read, write, spell, print, lithograph, telegraph, type and telepnono on the spot all locaL national, colonial and international languages, Including Es peranto, with their pure accent and without having studied them, and to Understand and speak theso languages Infinitely moro quickly and more cor rectly than by tho ordinary methods." In explaining this miraculous inven tion the author says that it is based nn tho principle of "reproducing the samo sound by ono and tho samo let ter in all languages In which it oc curs." He nsscrts that tho forty-threo polyglot professors havo discovered that tho sounds In all tho languages In tho world are reduced to forty-five, and consequently all that Is required is to represent thoso forty-flvo sounds by forty-flvo soparato symbols, com posing a universal alphabet ENGLISH ANTHEM CHANGED. 'SKA-. That Ab. f - - sh Tricks" of For- tlgnSBji,iic" Replaced. A chango bar been made In tho Eng lish national anthem. In theso days, when tho main thought throughout the civilized -world Is peace, ono of tho old verses of the anthem is said to have struck tho king as sounding a some what discordant noto. It ran: O Lord our God, arise! Scatter his enemies And make them fall; Confound their politics; Frustrate their knavish tricks On him our hopes we flx. Oh, Bave us all! That verso has now been replaced by the following, written by Dean Hole, nnd breathing a more peaceful spirit: O Lord our God, arise I Scatter his enemies, Make wars to cease. Keep ua from plague and dearth, Turn thou our woes to mirth And over all the earth Let there be peace. This alteration has been specially sanctioned by King George nnd Is thereforo of national Importance, see ing that it is now likoly to be unl versally followed. Women Legislators For Washington.
