A Curious Thing.

SEVEN the DkubEs
A Curious Thing.
A curious thing has been noted during
the researches in Arkansas. and that Is
the discovery of number of copper i'm
elements and ornaments. 1t is certain
that no copper was found south OF Su-
perior at that time, and the fact that it is
found so lar south proves conclusively the
communication between the north and
south of the country. A shell amulet was
shown, which. dug out OF a mound in
Henry county, Indiana, must have come
from the Gulf of Mexico, and as similar
ones have been found in Florida il is but
reasonable TO suppose that the specimen
came from there II Is broken somewhat.
but shows the perforations and gives evil
dence Of the use to which it was put.
Such are a few of the many curious
things in the collection. The reader can
speculate on the probable origin. the DeO-
pie who used them and the stage of civili-
cation existing when they were made. Ii
will he speculation, however, for they left
no inscriptions, no monuments throwing
any light upon the condition OF their
lives aud their state oil knowledge. Ali
the evidence 30 far collected assigns
them to a verv low place among the
people of the globe, either in the remotest
antiquity or in the more underatood pso-
pies Of nearer historical knowledge. All
the remains OF antiquity show nothing to
compare with the utensils and ornaments
found in the mounds of the Mississippi
valley and the more arch@ologists study
the more inclined they are to say they
have absolutely no knowledge of the
strange people who left such curious re-

A ceremonial Dish.

Another ceremonial dish has a ducks
head upon it and is seven inches in diam
eter and five inches deep. The head is
clearly defined and the general outline is
true to nature, albeit, somewhat rough in
execution. The conception is admirable.
the most curios and rare of the collection
is piece of basket pottery. the only one
in the mound. 1t is twelve inchAs
high. including the handle and the bulb
Is eight inches in diameter. The bulb is
entire being closed over the top and the
handle springs from the sides. making a
bow OF six inches or so in height above
the bulb. The most curious thing is, per-
haps, that it is hollow throughout. and the
top Of the handle has an opening into

1t Is known that the mound builders
used totems the same as the Indians who
inhabited this country 400 years ago. A
specimen OF the totem was found cut rom
a slate pebble, the turtle on the top being
carved in bas relief. The pebble was four
by two and half inches and the turtle
was slightly smaller. In the back of the
pebble are two perforatlons, through
which thongs were probably strung, and
the charm worn around the neck. One

diameter into which the material for smok-

once made their pipes OF peace. A piece
