San Francisco Riddles and ment al gymnastics in folk tales and litera ture are treated in fascinating style by Dr. Rudolph Schevill, Professor of Spanish at the University of Califor nia, In a paper Just Issued by the press of the state university. The title of Dr. Schevill's composi tion is: "Some Forms of the Riddle Question and the Exercise of the Wits in Popular Fiction and Formal Literature." His paper is divided In to four parts. The first takes for pur poses of illustration a concrete exam ple of a folk tale given in the four teenth Petrama of Timoneda, who was a Spanish writer of Jest books In the sixteenth century and of whom It has been said" that "perhaps no gatherer of popular tales has been more guilty of retelling such as were already known in some form or other" Professor Schevill's paper proves that riddles ana questions caicuiaiea to try the wit appear and reappear in th literature of folk tales of va rious nations at various ages. Their wanderings and changes may, by careful comparative study of fiction, reveal the ancient origin of a partic ular novel. Timoneda s may Be touna in other forms in the Netherlands and " in Germany. The second part of the paper Is en titled "The CuBtom of Asking Riddle Questions." The writer points out that this custom was extremely com mon among oriental peoples, but that tales originating in the levant have been radically modified by Occidental society or by the retlg'on or philos m.hv nf christian Europe. Persians, AmhH nri Jews have always delighted In enlfrmns, riddle and the like, but the exercise of the wits among tnem used to be taken in more seriousness than by western peoples. Much might depend on the answer They were not subject to humorous . construc tion. Failure to g ve a correct ans wer on the part of a king to whom questions were propounded by sages sent from a fellow monarch might en tall the loss of several critics on the part of the vanquished. The king of the Ethopians, being approached with a strange, wonderful and difficult problem, said: "If I may compass the solution of tlrls rid dle and dark question, I shall gain thereby many town', villages and cit ies." In the third part of his paper Pro aq Xbiu qom-w suoijsanb aippn oojs jo jaquinu v sosnopip IUAaips Jonsaj found in slightly varying forms in the l'teratures of many peoples as "How many casks of water are there In the sea?" and "How high is the sky." GIRL'S BLOW BLACKENS DRUNKEN MASnEU'S EYE Man Hides Utilise With Hand While Itdn Fined by Judge Tarwell.

PRISON CENSUS GIVEN. Population of United Statcs Put Be hind Burs at Some Time During 1910 Was 479,703. Washington, A preliminary state ment of prison statistics for the year 1910 was Issued by Director Durand of the Bureau of the Census Depart ment of Commerce and Labor. It was prepared under the supervision of Dr. Joseph A. Hill, chief statisti cian of the division of revision and results, who has har charge of the work. The figures are subject to re vision later, as a few institutions are delinquent in furnishing complete re turns, but this s not likely to affect materially either the totals or ratios herein. The prison population of the Unit ed States Jan. 1, 1910, was 113,579, and the number of commitments to prisons or other penal Institutions during the year 1910 was 479,763. These figures Include every class of offense, from vagrancy to murder in the first degree. They also Include cases In which the offender was com mitted to Jail or prison for the non payment of a fine. Tor this and other reasons the totals and ratios which are shown for the different states are not to be regarded as measuring the criminal tendencies of their inhabitants. Artisans Attention.
