Niimber "30," O'icinally Newspaper
jSwnbol, Has Come to Have Sifl
HWtteance of Dire Import.
B) frequent reference to It, noteil
by newspaper readers, doubtless the
menatnir nf !hnt cabalistic symbol "30"
bus bScome familiar to many, bnt this
Incident and explanation Is printed In
connection with the obsequies of Sir
Wilfrid Lnnrler, in the Montreal La
I'ntrle. "What does that signify?"
was asked by thousands who tiled past
the casket of Sir Wilfrid Laurler and
had remarked the bouquut of flowers
upon whlfh lay the symbol "30" In red
figures. This floral tribute was given
by members of the press gallery In the
Dominion parliament. For them this
number menus the same as the words
which the great departed pronounced
some (lays after being stricken by bis
malady : "It Is ended." (O'est flnl.)
The origin of this conventional symbol
has been lost tn the traditions of jour
nalism, but after each night and at
the end of every day the conventional
"30" traversed the continent from end
to end. Editors In time adopted the
sign "30" to inform the staff, the
various news deDartments. and the
coirtpo'slng room that all fhe "copy
was finished and that there would be
"nothing additional. Finally, for news
mpti Hie number "30" became
the symbol of the end of all things -of
earth, and even of life.
Yanks Like French Souvenir.
I Yankee soldiers are keeping me
French khops busy these days. Sou
venirs of France and various regions
and cities of France are all the go.
Among these souvenirs are brooches
bearing the arms of different cities.
The head of the famous Lion- of Bel
fort, the statue of Bartholdl, the
sculptor who designed the goddess of
Liberty, Is another favorite. The Lor
raine cross has also proved very popu
lar with the Yanks. This symbol has
two sets of cross arms Instead of one.
It appeals particularly to the Ameri
cans because of the part which the
Yanks played In Lorraine during the
war. The tted Cross dog and the
lucky white elephant charm are other
French souvenirs which the Ameri
cans are procuring In large numbers
to take back to the States. From The
Splker, France.

SKETCH OF PRE-HISTORIC MAN
Early Palntlno Prove That Thousands
of Centuries Ago Humanity
Walked on Four Feet.
Tlio Paris Figaro gives nu account
of a recent remarkable discovery of
paintings In a prehistoric cave of
, Southjjininee. In particular, a sketch
"Jtas-been found of a man who went
on all fours and possessed a tall. The
account runs. In purt:
"Count ISegouen and his sons dis
covered ou the walla of the subterra
nean gallerTes some eiwuvlngs esti
mated to be 30,000 years old, and In
such quantity and variety that the ex
traordinary ensemble of pre historic
art work constitutes a veritable mu
aeum. "The animals figured In the cave are
considerable In number, and Include
reindeers, bisons, horses, both Isolate
und In groups; bears, elephants and
rhliiosccruses. The rfeiUatloii of
felines arc very iiw 'In pre-hlstorlc
art, i Iiegouon have photo
graphed In their cave a genuine Hon,
executed In bas-relief. They hove made
out, also, several birds, Including
swans and ducks, as well as three
predatory night flyers.
"The human figure Is likewise repre
sented In the cave, which. In recogni
tion of the sons of Count Begotten, has
been baptized 'the Cave of the Three
Brothers.' A silhouette Is particularly
remarkable, almost lialillng. It repre
sents a man In motion a man of pow
erful body, whose head und shoulders
arc Joined by an enormous neck; a
man whose upper and lower limbs
and whose hands and feet are perfect!

Is prolonged In an exterior appendage
resembling that of the anthropoids a

Classifying the Apartment
The apartment. In spite of wide
physical differences, belongs to the
same family as the lead razor and ihe
wooden nutmeg. It is built to get rid
of; and the persons who acquire one
usually find that It Isn't "lint thJ
thought It was. In the popular mind
the apartment belongs to the ureal
family of homes, ami can easily he
made Into a true home by the addition
of a rubber plant and an enlarged
photograph of the Colosseum. This Is
as much nf a fallacy as to think that
a blne.lay can be made Into a bluebird
by giving him a blUetiM house to nest
In. The blnejny belongs tn the crow
family; and while his plumage may
please Ihe esthetic senses for a time,
his mucous Rcreams and his bullying
pugnacity will Inevitably offend every
one. The wise man. In acquiring an
apartment, vlewn It as a branch of the
wooden nutmeg family and determines
to pass It on to someone else with all
possible speed. Judge.
