STATE LEGISLATURE. Much Business Transacted During the Week. MLL8 TO REVISE GAME LAWS.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1903. Plodlnc Out About the Past. Through the tireless researches of the erchs-oloslsts the modern world Is Uaruing little by little many things of value and Interest sbont the long dead and buried past The latest “find" was the complete ctjpy of Ttmotbeus' poem on the battle of Marathon set forth In ancient Greek characters, found In ,a wooden coffin unearthed by a German arctuoological expedition In Athena. Greek history credits Tlmotbeus with being an excellent Athenian musician and dltbyramblc poet who. among other things, added the eleventh string to the clthara—an addition of no small consequence In those days and possibly having some bearing upon the evolution of the modern harp. In his “Alexander's Feast" Dryden places Tlmotbeus "on high amid the tuneful quire” where his "flying Anger* touched the lyre.” whose “trembling notes,” ascending the sky. Inspired "heavenly Joys." The name of this sweetest of ancient singers has come down to ns quite as much of a myth as a reality, and his music and his dithyrambs have been lost sight of In the shadowy past until now brought *to light by arclueologlcal research. So arctucology Is revealing many things regarding the storied past which we have been wont to look upon as myths. The past century was rich In classic flnda Among them, the New York Independent, which devotes much space to archaeology, records the mimes of Heronldas. the odes of Bacchylldea. the “Athenian Commonwealth” of Aristotle, the code of Hammurabi, the "PhUosopbumena” of Hlppolytus, the "Teaching of the Apostles,” the “Diatessaron” of Tatlan, the epistle of Dlagnetua. various constitutions and apocryphal go*pels, portions of the old Syriac New Testament and the Hebrew

"Ecclealastlcua.”

Perhaps aQ this Is of no practical value to our modern workaday world, but tt Is nevertheless Interesting and brings us In touch with the remote past so closely as to show that, after all, time Is short and the world Is narrow. As the area of arclueologlcal exploration thns far has been comparatively small numerous treasures of classical, religious aud oriental literature must still be awaiting the explorers. Doubtless long before the close of the present century our knowledge of the world before the beginning of the .Christian era will be well nigh as definite as our knowledge of the world since that time.

Feb. 19.-Last Monday night the legislature started on the sixth week of its existence, or what will probably be tbe last week of the first half of tbe sesalon. It being the general Impression that tbe present term will not extend over twelve weeks. Tbe week was productive of material results, and a vast amount of business was disposed of. .Vs was expected, the legislators remained at their desks until Wednes-

day.

Not the least Important matters that at present engage the attention of the lawmakers are tbe proposed amendments to the fish and game laws which have been suggested by the state flsb and game commission and which will probably receive favorable action at ihe hands of the legislature. A bill has been introduced by Senator McKee of Passaic that Is designed to be s general revision of the fish and game laws and contains several important changes. Tbe revision materially changes the section of the game laws relating to the trapping of rabbits. A wall was-beard from the farmers of Hunterdon that their-fruit trees were despoiled by tbe rabbits, who eat the ‘bark off those trees, and at their demand the legislature a few years ago passed a law permitting farmers trap rabbits during the winter months. In the revision this right Is extended to all months of the year, the only : qualification being that tbe rabbits must have destroyed some of the prod- | ucts of the farm. The revision shortens the open season for ducks, geese and similar birds.

Every employee who has worked for tbe company for six months or more may buy from one to twentyfive shares of preferred stock, the company carrying It for them, provided they pay 5 per cent down and a similar amount In monthly Installments. Tbe company will charge 4 per cent for tbe use of its money, but as tbe stock pays 7 per cent In dividends the investment will be profitable Profit sharing seems to be tbs order of the day. and no doubt many big concerns will follow tbe example of this and other companies which have Inaugurated tbe plan.

Two Important changes are recommended In the section relating to birds, one of which Is to prevent milliners from selling tbe plumage of any wild' birds, game birds being excepted, hot there Is no restriction against women wear-

An open season for the killing of shore birds Is fixed at from April 15 to Nov. 80. but this will hare no effect as these birds are In tbe state only daring the months of tbe closed season.

opposition will arise from north Jersey to this section, except from a few woodcock gunners, who will probably Insist that woodcock should he killed in July. It Is probabls that the bonters of south Jersey will enter a protest opening of the season as early as Oct 25 and closing It as early as Christmas day. The season in south Jersey is about two weeks later than it la In tbe northern end of the state, but It Is doubtful If a law satisfactory to both sections can be drawn.
