PREHISTORIC.
Discoveries Made in an Ancient Mound
at Mount Vernon, Ohio.

MOUNT VERNON, OHIO, Oct. l.
Mr.. j ID. Middleton, representing the
chronological bureau Of the Smithsonian
institution, Washington City, has
been engaged here during the past
week in experimenting the opening
Of an Indian mound in the cemetery.
1t was probably one of the
largest mounds in the state, being
about eighteen f,et in height and
forty feet In diameter Mt the base. His
researches were rewarded this after
noon by finding the skeleton of bu-
man body Of the male species. Many
OF the bones had crumbled into dust,
and only portion of the skull was
preserved. A full set of upper and
lower teeth were found in remark
able state OF preservation. About fifty
highly polished wolf or bear teeth and
a large number Of small marine shells
were found among the bones, and are
supposed TO have formed a necklace.
Resting beneath the jaw OF the skele-
ton was thin crescent shaped piece of
copper about nine inches in length,
and is supposed to have been an Orna-
ment that was attached TO the necklace.
The remains were found about two feet
below the base line Of the mound. A
small quantity of fragments Of pottery
were also found near the remains. At
several places in the mound were found
small deposits of ashes and huge bowl
ders, some weighing from ten to thirty
pounds.

STANDING ROOM ONLY.
A Calculation of the Amount OF Room
Furnished for Saints.

Editor EXPRESS
An argument against the PROPOSE
ton that this earth, In its reoTganiZed,
redeemed and restored condition, Is
the only Heaven or final home of the
saints or righteous, promised to the
people of God, found in the Bible. is,
that If all the saints were literally
raised from the dead and placed on
the earth the number would be go great
that there would not be standing room
on the earth. For the information of
parties holding to the aforementioned
theory, / would like to present through
your paper the following facts and lig-
ures:
In one mile there are $3.50 feet. Then
$3.50 times $3.50 gives ~ SIS, 400 square
feet In one square mile. According to
Swinton's geography there are
In the state of Texas &c.,
$50 square miles. Then 81 SIS.
400 times 265,7S gives 7,i09, 52l l52 900
square feet in the stale of Texas,
II il estimated TINT there are now
200, 5000 human beings living on
the earth and that thirty-three and
one-third years is the average age OF
human life. This gives us three gen
eratlons every century, which is
1900. 600 600 psrsons during each 100
years. Now, admitting that the earth
has stood 000O years since Adam was
created, and az the time of his creation
there were living 200, 600 600, and
that three times that number have died
every century, would give the number
2l6 00O,000,000 dying during the sixty
centuries. Now, as many times as
2l8 600 0OO, 900 is contained In 7i09,-
52l, l52, 900, which il % and a small
fraction, each person would have 81
square feet OF standing room.
Then say that the state of Texas
is large enough to afford each person
in the above estimate 81 square feet OF
standing room.
BY allowing the above space in your
valuable paper perhaps some Of your
many readers may be amused, II not
profited. Respectfully.

THE coLoRApo MooL anow,ns.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Cot, Oct. o -
The Colorado Wool Growers' associa.
ton, in session here, has issued an adj
dress to the wool growers of the coun-
try urging them to vote for no
candidate for congress or
state Legislature who is
not without qualification or condit ion
in favor of restoring the rates Of duty Of
1877. All wool growers are called on
to redeem the pledges made at Chi
cago last June to ignore
party atiiliation aud favor
those who favored the legislative
measures for their relief. We believe
that in view OF the depressed condi-
ton Of the growing interest,
brought about by adverse
legislation those engaged in this
business should for self-proteciion turn
their attention to those practical ques-
