Every Saturday the arch-Republican New York Herald Tribune devotes a section to pet fish. One week it is guppyis, the next, Siamese fighters, the next, Black Mollies. Last week the headline read : SALT FOUND EFFECTIVE REMEDY FOR MANY ILLS OF TROPICAL FISH Beneath appeared a picture of ''A pearl danio, showing the hump-backed appearance sometimes developed by old specimens...
...Star Game. Sports Editor Arch Ward of the Chicago Tribune last year promoted the idea of a game between picked stars of the American and National Leagues to advertise the World's Fair. The game drew a crowd of 49,000, and netted $42,000 for the benefit of indigent members of the Association of Professional Ball Players.

Legends of a Golden Age or a Garden of Eden are probably dim memories of the lost homeland whence the restless Sumerians drifted into the Euphrates Valley. They knew how to use the wheel and the arch, how to irrigate their lands, and they had begun to write, Belief in immortality is indicated by the sacrifice of servants after a royal death. Clay cups were always found in the tombs beside the victims, and Dr. Woolley's energetic wife guessed that they drank a narcotic or poison. Her husband finds this plausible, makes bold thus to recreate a royal...
