Evidence of = Native Written Language
Among the Pacific Islanders.
[scientinc Journal
Capt William Churchill, a Pacific ocean
salt, Is telling the San Frapciscans what he
knows and what he guesss ; about the arche-
logical remains found in the islands Of the
Pacific. He seeks TO show by the records OF
deep-sea sounding and from archaeological
remains that the Pacific islands are only the
remains OF a submerged continent, whose
mountain peaks and lofty nights are all that
remain above the surface OF the ocean
Polynesian antecedent civilization is re-
vealed, he thinks. through ancient imple-
plements, statues and sculptured stone slabs
found on a few OF the groups. more notably
the Feejses.
The studies OF Eoophytss and coral forma-
lions taken from a depth Of 1900 fathoms
and more also confirm this belief of the sub
sidence OF the prehistoric continent. On
Pitcairn's island, and also on Tahiti and
Tongn-Tabu have been found remains which
show the existence OF a ng-forgotten tribe.
At 1onga-Tabu a monster trilithon is to be
seen. 1t Is composed of gray volcanic stone.
with neatly dressed edges. 1t Is loxl. feet
square, and stands twenty feet out OF the
ground II Is surmounted by a huge kava
bowl. Capt. Churchill considers this relic
to be OF great archaeological value. He de-
scribes the implements and metals in use by
the natives of several OF the groups before
the advent Of the white voyagers, and said
that iron and steel were not unknown TO
them before their discovery by civilized per-
SON.
He gives a vivid description OF monolithic
statues of stone and sculptured wood found
on Easter island. The monoliths were found
standing in rows Of five or six, only a few
feet apart They were hewn from volcanic
rock, and were either very cruie In work.
manship, or else they had suffered from the
ravages of time. One row of these statues
was quite well preserved Each OF them
was ten feet high, and they represented hui
man heads and bodies, with a kind OF cap
or other head covering OF the top These
are the same statues seen and described by
Capt Cook in his works on travel and dis
coyery.
A finely sculptured hand OF a dancing girl
and some polished wooden slabs on waich
were numerous hisroglyphical figures in
long rows, have been discovered In an an
clent and half-ruined stone house on Easter
stand. This is the only relic Of a written
language ever found in the Pacific Islands

The air we breathe Is in truth the worst
enemy of the Astronomers observations It
Is their enemy In two ways. Part OF the
light which brings it, wonderful, evanescent
message across inconcsivable depths OF
space, it stops; and whom it does not stop, it
shatters. And this even when ut Is most
transparent and seemingly still, when mist
wells arc withdrawn, and no clouds curtain
the sky.
Moreover, the evil grows with the power
OF the instrument. Atmospheric trou hles
are magnified neither more nor less than the
objects viewed across them. Thus, Lord
Roses giant reflector possesse5-nominally-
a magnifying power OF 5000; hat Is to say,
1t can reduce the apparent distances OF tho
