Relics Of the Mound Builders.

Never before in the history Of America,
probably, have so many relics OF the race
or races which inhabited this continent in
past ages oeen brought 10 light, within
limited space 0f time as during the last
few weeks. Many monuments OF the
ancient Americans, If they may be so de-
nominated, have recently been invaded
by the elements or the hands OF men, and
their contents laid pare.
Reports Of the discovery Of human re-
mains, ornaments ami implements OF
stone and pottery, have come from North
Georgia, North Alabama, Tennessee,
Maryland. Massachusetts and Illinois.
These discoveries will furnish much ma
teriaI for the use Of Psychologists, though
the value Of this material can only be de-
term ned after careful examination and
borough study.
In most instances the bones and other
relics have been found In mounds upon
which grew gigantic trees, showing tina
these rude but enduring monuments
must have stood the abrasions OF time
and the elements for centuries. In some
instances the dead appeared to have been
buried Nth their personal effects or sym
bplic treasures with some kind of order
or ceremony. In others there are evil
dences of violence, which go to show that
the burial mounds marked the scenes Of
battle or Of wholesale murder.
The peculiarities Of the remains and
relics discovered in different localities IN
dicate that they must have belonged to
different races, or different types Of
common race, thOuSh these may not have
been cOexIstent, but may have lived GEN.
turtles apart.
The museums and literature OF Ameri-
can Antiquities are already rich and ex-
tensive, but the history Of the vanished
races is lost, and about all that the
irch@ologsts can hope to accomplish is
to arrive at the approximate dates of their
'Xistence, and to formulate plausibl-
theories as to some of their distinguish
ing features AMI peculiar customs.

Greece,s Claims.

It appears to be settled that Greece has
agreed 20 disarm and, that too, without
any assurance from the powers tnat they
will force Turkey to transfer 10 her the
territory which the Berlin treaty gives
her. There may be some sort OF secret
understanding BY when Greece's claims
are 10 he satisfied but If here is no init
nation Of it has been made public.
Althou h Greece did not take an active
part in the Eastern conflict OF 1871, she
was admitted to the Berlin Con sress. Il
seems that England thought that II would
he wise to have her admitted. 1t is true.
that when she found that in the treaty o.
san Stetano. which the Russians had die
tated at the gates Of COustantipOple, her
own claims were ignored, she sent an ex-
petition across the Turkish border. II
was, pCraaps, the very gentle remon
.fraace against this expedition, uttered
D. both England and France. that secured
to her the attention OF the Berlin Con
gress to her claims.
The boundary which that Congress
drew between Turkey and Greece IN
creased Greece's territory very consider
ably, and gave her about $1,000 more in
hahiiants. Unfortunately for Greece tn
boundary was rade to depend upon tht
acceptance Of it by both Of the interest'd
parties. Or course Turkey did not accept
II, and The powers did not undertake e.
make her accept 1t. They urged her, OF
course, but she responded with words moi
with acts.
The powers concluded, at the urgent
request OF Greece, to have a conferenc"
about the matter. This conference, which
took place at Berlin in 1890, drew another
boundary line, which Turkey declined to
accept. 1t was, in her opinion, alto
Sether too favorable to Greece.
Greece was determined that the powers
should give her what the Berlin Congress
SAID she should have, and kept Europe
lgila ed by her threats and preparations
or " ar. Bismarck stepped to the FROM
and called another conference at Berlin,
which decided upon still another bound
ary line. This line was far from being a.
favorable to Greece as the two fOrme'
ines had been. II gave her a little o.
Epirus and d part Of Thessaly, but lei
" thin the jurisdiction of Turkey =
great deal of territory coveted b.
Greece and Inhabited by Greeks. The
territory she got, and which she accepted
under protest, contained about 500, 900 in
habitants. and was equal TO about one
ourth Of the territory she already had
1t is probable, however, that she will
never be- satisfied until she gels what tht
Berlin Congress of 1873 agreed she wa
Justly entitled to. She may he cOerced
INTO disarming now, but the history of the
asst few years shows that she cannot be
coerced into permanent silence. IL would
not he surprising il she should renew her
demands alta time when the attitude OF
he powers towards each other is such
hat 1t will hardly be possible tor them Il
unite. as they are now united, in forcinA
ner to keep the peace.

Project the Birds.

There are laws for the protection of
birds in almost every State of the Union.
In most OF the States, however. these laws
are very defective, and in no State. proba-
ply, are they enforced, except so far as
hey relate to certain kinds OF game brds.
Generally the birds that unsportsmanlike
hunters want are the ones that should be
rlgidly projected, and those species OF
birds that are injurious to man are allow
d to multiply.
Much has been said aud written about
he enormous destruction of insectiverous
and song BIRDS in order to secure their
Olumage Tor the use of the mlliners. and
pub ic sentiment is apparently beginning
To turn AGAINST the fashion that demands
this cruel aud IneXcusable sacrifice. Tins
sentiment ought to he encouraged until II
becomes more powerful than the laws
seem to he. There are very many people
now who regard tle wearing OF bird or
nament as an evidence Of great heartless-
ness or thoughtlessness, and 1t is prob
able that the example set by the ladies OF
England in forming societies TO discOur-
axe the fashion of wearing bird plumage
Ou hats and bonnets, will ne followed In
many cities of tn S cOultry.
