Traces of Their Mining Operations Cen.
turtles Ago.
As these facts have not been reported
by others, and yet are unquestionable,
l venture to emphasize them with few
words of description. Near Lexington,
KY, is a vein of lead ore which is trace
able for half mile or more through
cultivated and forest land. The ore is
galena in heavy spar, which has resisted
the solvent carbonic acid water that
has removed the limestone wall rocks
and shows conspicuouslya at the surface.
Thus it attracted the attention of the
mound builders, who seem to have
priced the galena only for it's brillian.
cy, as we find itin many of the mounds,
but so far we lack evidence that it was
smelted. To obtain it in the mine to
which 1 have referred, they make a
deep trench along the course of the
vein, taking out the ore to the depth Of
perhaps ten or twenty feet. One hun.
dred yards or more of this trench is
now visible, running through forest
which has never been disturbed by the
whites. Here it is five or six feet deep,
and is bordered on either side by ridges
of the material thrown out. On these,
trees are growing which have reached
their maximum dimensions, showing
that at least five hundred years have
elapsed since the mine was abandoned.

The World /. Cocoanut Shell.

The savage islanders of the south
Pacific believe that the world is CO.
coanut shell Of enormous dimensions,
at the top Of which is single aperture
communicating with the upper air,
where human beings dwell. At the
very bottom of this imaginary shell is a
stem gradually tapering to point
which represents the beginning Of all
things. This point is spirit or demon
without human form, whose name is
''Root of All Existence" By him the
entire fabric Of creation is sustained.
In the interior Of the cocoanut shell, at
