STATUES »N PARIS. We are surprised that Haris should he the first city to make a protest against statues. And it is such a particularly prosaic protest- It is suggested that life-size figures ot the great dead are out of keeping with the street traffic. One critic puts it thus: "If the philosopher Fourier in his lifetime had seated himself In hit armchair between two lines of Hamways to observe the people who walked along the Boulevard d# Clichy, the police would have respectfully po tiled out to him that the position waa not the proper one for a chair nor for a contemplative philosopher."

FIND skeletons in cairns Forest Rangers in Nevada Discover
Evidence of Old Crime.
Forest rangers in the Ruby moun-
tains in Nevada recently found two cairns, one of which contained the skeleton of a man and the other that of a dug. Nearby was an old-style park -addle. They thought the bodies had been placed there not more than six or eight years ago, as fragments of clothing still adhered to the mans hones. Murder is believed to have been done and the dog to have been killed and hurled following the death of fits uiaster. so (hat he would not attract attention to the spot. Cnuniy
authorities are investigating.
