A plaster cast of a pipe which was
found in Jefferson year ago, has been
left in this office 1t is rare piece of
ancient workmanship, and from the cary
ing, shows it was of Aztec origin. Sculp'

psychologists clearly prove the Aztecs to
be descendants of the ancient Atlanteans
the people OF the submerged Atlantis.
On the upper side of this pipe is carved
the face of man in the same style OF art
the ancients were accustomed to and on
the under side is rude device carved
which resembles much the .old Aztec
eagle The whole length of the pipe is
IL inches; extreme width, 81; extreme
thickness, 3 inches. 1t bears the marks
of the plow which turned it up, otherwise,
it is in a good state of preservation, and
may be 10000 years old.

be we'll to state that Jefferson is the rich
