Development of the Peoplss of Primitive Egypt Is Traced. BERKELEY, Sept. 3.—In the second of his serfes of lectures upon ancient Egypt, delivered this evening at Stiles Hall, Dr. George A. Reisner dwelt upon the first five dynasties of the long chain of Egyp- tian rulers. He dwelt especially upon the beginnings of thé hidroglyphic writing, considered by scientists the oldest form of chirography in the world. The speaker introduced his lecture with a brief account of the discovery of the tomb of Menes, the first of the Egyptian Kings. He followed with an account of the primitive peoples of the first five dy- nastles, showing their advancement in the arts as evinced by the relics found in thefr tombs. He sald: The changes during the tles are gradual. The use of © be dislaced by the use of sconeware. pottery is of the same c sull mad band into forms evolved directiy from the first three dynas- ottery we find The forms. The methods of WOrKing stone were apparently improved fast. As stoneware be- { came cieaner it gradually superseded all but the cheanest and coarsest vottery. In the same way the nnely worked flint knives disappear. In fact, they disappeared even beiore the first dynasty and are replaced by copper knives and axes. Copper was known w the earlisst prehistoric race, but it may have been new methiods of Working or even the discover.” of mew and richer beds of cop- per that made this metal cheaper than flints. The mystery surrounding the origin of the hieroglyphic writing of the Egyptians Grew the attention of the lecturer. He gave an account of the origin and growth of the art -of writing as follows: The introduction of writing into the funeral customs took olace in the nist dynasty. The writing of the Egyptians is hierogiyphic. Every sign is a picture, so oiten conventionalized that their identification has given rise to a vast deal of investigation. - In the beginning cach sign stood only for the thing signified and was read with the name of that thing. But all things could not be represented by a sign. When a sign coull Le found with the same pronunciation as a thing wkich could not be pictured, that sign was used by transference for the unpictured things. Thus almost all signs came to be used as sound values without reference to their mean- ing. Indeed, some objects had more than one pame, so that some signs had more than one sound value. Thus it became necessary to spell out words. For this purpose pictures representing a single consonant were chosen, or pictires were taken to represent only the first consonant of the word they stood for. Thus & regular alphabet of twenty-one letters arose. The ecarliest trace of this system of hierog- lyphics we find shortly before the first dy- nasty. At that time it is already a consid- erably develoned and conventionalized system. Writing was used first for commercial and business purposes and only after a considerable period of development was it used for cere- monial purposes. The lecturer then turned to the subject of the pyramids. “In the fourth dynasty came the pyramids,’ saild he. ‘“These enormous _constructions, built. no man knows how; the painted statues found at Mcdum, the painted rellefs tougd at the sal place, all mark the periéd of the first five dynasties as one of great pros- perity #nd rapid development. The technical skill required in this period was rever excelled.” Turning to the political _condition of Egypt at the period, Dr. Reisner said: We can only guess at the political systems of ancient Egypt through the vague records left. Menes was the first monarch to unite upper and iower Egypt. The gradual trans- formation from, the nomadic condition to the system of king!y government must have taken place in Egypt as in all other primitive coun- tries. IN OAKLAND SOCIETY. OAKLAND, Sept. 3.—The reception rooms of the Oakland Club were fairly crowded this afternoon, the occasion being the club’e first “‘at home'’ since the summer holidays. Mrs. E. J. Cotton, a charter member of the Oakland Club, was hostess for the day, and under her direction an unusually enjoyable programme was given. The artistic playing of Miss Julla Talbot of San Francisco was delightful, her selections being ‘‘Love's Dream’’ by Liszt and Gounod’'s ‘‘Spring.”” Mrs. Fred Stolp's inimi- table baby songs were greatly enjoyed, her first number befng ““Mamma Told Me So,” ‘‘Hello, Daddie,”” being sung In response to a hearty encore. Miss Pearl King gained new laurels to-day with her artistic recital of ‘‘The Bull Fight.”" Mrs. Wallace Wheaton Briggs of San Francisco closed the musical part of the programme with two enjoyable vocal numbers, her selections being from Chadwick's song cycle “*Told In the Gate.”” They were entitled, “'Oh, Let Night Speak of Me” and "‘Dear Love, When in Thine Arms During the afteraoon inter- esting talks were given by Miss Mary McClees and Mrs. C. E. Cunningham. While on a re- cent visit East Miss McClees acquired a valu- able fund of information in regard to the con- duct of vacation schools in New York, Boston and other cities, and her remarks were full of interest. Mrs. Cunningham gave a concise ac- count of work done in the Oakland vacation school this summer and illustrated her talk with examples of work done by the children in the schools, including the millinery and car- penter departments.

Again the scavengers have gone on a strike, making the fourth within the same number of weeks. This time it is the barges that do not suit them. Two barges were contracted for by the Health Department at $250 a week, but the scavenger men decline to use them be- cause they are too small, declaring it makes them waste a lot of time waiting their turn to empty wagons. The order went forth to-day from the president of the Scavengers’ Union to cease hauling refuse until the city pro- vides a permanent dumping ground. That means that the peovle will have ‘to let ‘waste matter pile up in their back yards until Wednesday, by which time an amendment will be passed to the garbage ordinance so that matter can be dumped within the limits, allowing the Health Board to select a dumping ground some- where in the city. Health Officer von Adelung says that it is now incumbent upon citizens to remove their own garbage. To protect the health of the eity he proposes to arrest all per- sons who permit garbage to accumulate on their premises. The Merchants’ Exchange came to the conclusion at its meeting last night that the only way out of the trouble is to bulld a crematory such as private parties have asked the city for a franchise to build. A committee, consisting of Fred Sinclair, Theodore Gier and George W. Arper, was appointed to investigate the crematory and garbage system in San Francisco. Expressions in favor of the proposed crematory were offered by sev- eral members of the exchange. —_— Artistic Picture Frames. ‘We have the moderate-priced as well as the high-grade picture frames and moldings.

Chances for Recovery of Well- Known Young Man Are Slight. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1113 Broadway, Sept. 3. Leigh Robins, 2 young man well known in business circles and an employe of J. H. and A. S. McDonald, is likely to die from the.effects of a fall from a bugay which he sustained last Saturday while driving on the San Leandro road. His skull is fractured, and he lles in a sem- ous condition at the East Bay Sanita- rium, where Dr. O. D. Hamlin is attend- ing him. The chances are against his re- covery. Robins and Al Wood, the decorator, were returning from an inspection of some houses in Fruitvale when the acci- dent occurred. The horse took fright at a flying paper and jumped to one side so suddenly that both ‘men were thrown out. Robins landed on his head, the fall rendering him unconscious. Woed was in- jured, but not enough to prevent him at- tending to the wants of his companion. He put Robins in the buggy and drove with him to the sanitarium, where he has since been under treatment. Dr. Hamlin there discovered that his skull was badly fracturad, leaving little hope for him. ———— POSTAL SERVICE NOT SUFFICIENT FOR NEEDS Merchants’ Exchange Will Ask City Council to Provide Funds for Census. OAKLAND, Sept. 3—Among the mer- chants and residents of this city there is a conviction that the postal service provided by Uncle Sam is not adequate for the growing needs. The city contains about 75,000 people, but carriers are pro- vided. for a number much less than this amount.. In the hope of impressing the Government with the importance of Oak- icnd numerically, the Merchants’ Ex- change has taken steps to have a census of the city made. At a meeting of that body last night George W. Arper offered the following resolution, which was unan- imously adopted; Whereas, The rapid increase in the business | and population of the city of Oakland renders en extension of the mail-carrier service ex- tremely desirable; therefore Resolved, That the Board of Trade requests the City Council to order a census taken to escertain if there are not within the incer- poration limits the 75,000 inhabitants required to give the city an increase Im the number of letter-carriers and mafl-collectors. The Postoffice receipts and the school census both clearly indicate that the populal is now above 75,000, entitling the city to such in- crease, which will be a benefit to business men and a convenfence to the public. If a population of 75,000 can be estab- lished, the Government will add ten let- ter carriers to the local staff. ' Boot and Shoe Men Organize. OAKLAND, _ Sevt. 3-—Loca} Union No. 324, Boot and ‘Shoe Workers'<Union, has received its charter and perfected organ- ization. At its meeting last night the union heard addreses by its president, Charles W.

BERKELEY, Sept. 3.—Carrying the larvae of peach moths around next. the skin of his body in order to prematurely hatch the insect is the sacrifice to science which Entomologist Warren T. Clark of the University of California made in or- der to conduct an experiment. The re- sult was a success and the loss of fruit from this pest will, it is estimated, be reduced from 60 per cent to 1% per cent. Professor Clark has just returned from Newcastle, where he went to study the means of checking the ravages of the peach moth. e noticed that the winter spraying the orchardists did had no in- fluence on the pest, since the worms were buried beneath the bark. Then, in order to determine whether the warmth of spring would bring out the larvae, he transformed himself into an incubator, with the happy result that the worms did appear. Since the experiment demonstrated that spring spraying was the most effective, that period of the year will henceforth be the spraying p-riod and the loss to the peach crop which has heretofore been enormous will be greatly diminished.
