MORE CLIFF JEWELLERS.
Discovery of Another Ruined City
 in New Mexico.
It Shows That the Prehistoric Race That Lived There Was Civilized Over Fifteen Thousand Rooms in
 the Face of the Cliffs.

To the lover of archaeology no field presents a finer prospect than this DOT tion of northern New Mexico, writes a New York Advertiser correspondent from Abiquiu, N. M. It abounds in antiquities of every description per taining to the prehistoric races of America. Its ruins and monuments are undoubtedly as ancient as the pyramids and somewhat analogous in many respects. MT. A. P. F. Coape, the artist, and the writer have been in camp amid the ruins for the last two weeks, excavating and Investigating generally.
 We estimate that the city must have contained fully 5O,OOO inhabitants, as we have counted over 15,0OO rooms in the face of the cliffs, where they are ten deep and ten feet square on an average. They extend around the face of a circular mountain for a distance of over five miles. The level mesa on top is full of the ruins of their old tenn ples, pow-wow holes and dwellings. Estimating three persons to each room, and 15,000 rooms, we have 45, 600, but the probabilities are that each room was the abode of at least five persons, and the buildings on top of the mesa may have contained fully as many more. It is safe and conservative to say that it was city of at least 50,00O inhabitants.
 That they had enemies there can be no question, as they selected strong natural fortress for their city. Their enemies were undoubtedly savages, perhaps the Apache Indians, whose present reservation is on the hunting grounds of their forefathers, not more than fifty miles distant from this ruined city.
 The cliff dwellers were doubtless a civilized people to a great extent, as their architecture, their pottery and other evidence here abundantly tes- tify. It twould seem that their enemies finally prevailed over them, destroying them and their city, as they nave dis appeared from the face of the earth.
 The country is as wild as the interior of Africa. It is not an agricultural re zion, and how fully 50, 900 people main

 THE Elizabethan ruffs are growing more general in net, null, lace or fluffy narabout feathers. But this style of neck adornment is only becoming to tall women.
 BROWN shoes are not made of goat this season: the leather par excellence is Russia kid. It is light weight and very glossy, which lends to the foot a slender appearance.
 IN evening dresses there is radical change in the sleeves. The large, full putfs are gradually disappearing, and in their place is a bell-shaped sleeve made of frills lined with definite color.
 IN Paris bags are being worn to match the dresses and are in pretty contrast. They hang from the waist by ribbons or by girdles of beads and pendant tassels. They are of var1ous shapes, and have overlaps.

Convertible Steamships.

Convertible steamships are the new est designs in shipbuilding. They are
 built to carry general or liquid cargoes on very short notice. The first vessel of that type, the new British steam ship Mexican Prince, arrived here a few days ago from the Tyne. She was built at Wallsend, England, for James Knott, and had every req uirement for loading and discharging anything that might have to be sent across the sea. Steam fans to drive out gases that al ways accumulate on this type of yes sells were part of the ships equipment.
 Winches and high-power pumps were also on board to suit the varying de- mands of commerce.

NAPOLEONS HATS.

Existing Relics of the Great French Elm
 peror.
 Careful inquiry has led to the discov- cry that there are no fewer> than nine of Napoleon Is hats still in existence. A writer in The Vie Contemporaine gives list of them. One is in the pos session of Mime. Claitte, whose grand father, Gen. Giraud, picked it up at Marengo. At critical moment Bona parte started off at gallop, and the wind blowing off his hat he did not stop to pick it up.
 Another of the hats, says the London Daily News, is in little crypt beside Napoleons tomb at the Invalides This was worn on the 7th, Sth and 9th of February, 1907, at Eylau, and it is the identical one represented in the colossal picture of the battle by Gros, to be seen in the Louvre During the peace which succeeded the battle Gros was commissioned to paint the picture, and in order that the figure of the em- peror might be faithfully depicted the hat was given to the painter.
 At the death of Gros in 1885 it was found under a glass case upon a wooden stand, and it was sold by auc- tion among the painters effects for two thousand and forty-seven francs fifty centimes to Dr. Delacroix, who presented it to Louis Philippe The latter, after the famous second funeral Of Napoleon, ordered it to be placed be- side the remains with the emperor's crosses and the sword he wore at Aus terlitz. Of the remaining hats, one belongs to Prince Victor Napoleon and another to the mrserm at Gotha.

WOMEN AS HUNTERS.

There Is No Reason Why They Should
 Not Be Such If They Wish.
 I am convinced that if woman finds pleasure in killing fish or bird, she is perfectly entitled to so amrse herself, and the great, round, Coggle-eyed world has no right to poirt ct TOT talk about her, says writer iA Outing The few women who oc2..ly handle rod and gun as though they really knew the uses of the tools seldom fail to acquit themselves creditably; and, best of all, in following their chosen pastimes they find what every man and woman wants above all earthly things health of body and of mind. Long, dusty ages ago, from out the old blue clay was fashioned man, and after him was woman. She, the humorists tell us, has been after him, more or less, ever since; and, in my humble opinion, the more she is after him in the line of field sports the better for the gentler sex. There is no evil in the wilds as nature made them; there is wondrous truth in the sermon of stones and streams, in the whisper of wind-stirred foliage, in the ripple of waters and the sigh of swaying pines. There is health and purest pleasure in store for those who follow the windings of musical trout-brook, or tramp long, breezy miles behind staunch dogs-should not woman enjoy these things? She may never acquire the art of lugging a great flask ofrye along during outings; she may never master the intricate problem of throwing responsibility of misses upon the gun or the ammuni- tion-she may not even learn to lie freely and persuasively about the num- Der of fish she caught or of the size of those that got away, but she can be a sportswoman true, and the sooner she realizes this fact the better.

The Burning Mountain.

In johnson County, Wyoming, there
is what is called the Burning Noun.
tain. 1t is an immense coal bank,
that has been on fire ever since the
first white man visited that country.
There are many traditions among the
Indians ms to the origin of the fire,
but all point to its great antiquity,
and it is possible that this bank has
been burning for 200 or 800 years.
The country around presents o
singularly barren appearance, which
is not the least improved by the locke
of the mountain itself. In places here
and there reefs of coal crop out, and a
high wind fans the fire to furious
blaze. Elsewhere the fire is mainly
underground and indicated only by
the heat of the surface and the in.
Vulnerable jets of smoke and tongues
of flame that appear through the cracks
in the baked earth. 1t is dangerous
to go about the place, for not only are
there frequent cnvings of the surface,
but the gases which arise from the
burning coal are extremely deleterious

Fifteen to twenty fathomr is the
average depth, while two minutes is
the usual duration of the dive. Each
diver puts the sponges he pulls into n

In this country n sponging crew is
divided into twos, each pair consisting
of "sculler" and "hooker," sup
piled with n small yawlboat known MS

stern of the dingy and SOULS it slowly

to stop it and hold it exactly in place

Tho March of Color.

In the early months of summer
white flowers predominant in the
northern field and garden. In July
yellow flowers begin to prevail and
their reign seems to eliminate in
August which is the month par cx-
cellencc of golden hucs. In Septem-
Der and October the ascendency
passes to blue and purple blossoms.
One cannot help noticing that this
march Of color among the flowers,
carrying them from white in the
spring to blue in the autumn, recalls
The supposed progression of age among
the stars as indicated by their colors.
1t has generally been thought, al.
though the ract has not yet been
dnally demonstrated, that the white
stars are the youngest, that the yell
low stars represent tho mid-season of
solar life, and that the deeply colored
stars, red, purple, and blue, are those
which are fast passing into decadence.
