CAVE JEWELLERS IN AMERICA.

DIR. Carl Lumholtz writes in Scrib-

Tarahumaris; the most primitive Of

ing. and I shall confine myself In the
following paper almost exclusively to
| this ancient people, who may justly be
termed the living cave-dweliers Of the
American continent.
Are the cave-dwellers related to the
| ancient cliff-dwellers of the southwest
ern part of the United States and North
| ern Mexico? Directly not. Their very
aversion to living more than one family
| in a cave and their lack of sociability
Client cliff-dwe iiers, who were by nature
gregarious. The fact that people live in
| caves Is in itself extremely interesting,
but this alone does not prove any con.
nection between them and the ancient
iff-dwellers. Although the Tarahu,
mari is very intelligent, he is backward
| in the arts and industries.
| His pottery is exceedingly crude, as
\ compared with the work found In the
old cliff dwellings. and its decoration is
infantile as contrasted with the cliff
dwellers' work. The cIiff-dwellers
brought the art of decoration to a COM
paratively high state, as shown I'm the
relics found In their dwellings. But the
cave-dweller of to-day shows no sugges

terly devoid of the architectural gift

SCIENTISTS TO THE WORLD.
These Questions Are Mighty Hard to
Answer, but the Wise Men Do
Not Shirk the Task.
FIVE GREAT QUESTIONS OF THE DAY.
Darwin's Theory, the North Pole, the Flying
Machine, Sciences Progress and
Chief Problem.

The scientists who have been debating
all sorts of abstruse questions in Brook
lyn represent the accumulated wisdom
of the country. When other people are
at play, without "A thought of the stone
age or the secret OF the tides, they are
studying the stars, or prying among
dusty tones for the origin Of things.
Therefore II there is anything about
the revolution of the earth or the de-
velopment Of the hepaticae or the
color of a butterhy's wing or anything
else that bothers you. Just go to them
Bearing this fact in mind. The World
has addressed to these learned gentle
men. for solution. the five scientific
questions most frequently submitted to
the editor. These questions are un-
doubtedly of great current interest. and
here they are:
1. Has the Darwinian theory of nat
ural selection of the survival of the
fittest made any progress since the
death Of Darwin, or has 1t lost ground?
2. or what practical utility would the
discovery of the North Pole be? Is such
a discovery scientifically possible?
3. Do you think 1t will be possible to
construct a real flying machine?
4. What specially important discovery
or development In scientific matters have
you noted since the last meeting of the
association?
8. What do you consider the greatest
scientific question of the day?
These questions cover wide range OF
thought. and 1t takes a mighty knowing
man TO return complete and convincing
answers to them all. The East, the West
the North and the South are represented
in the answers, and naturally they vary
for very wise men differ In opinions
You should notice. however. how severa
agree that the origin of man Is the great
est scientific question of the day. Mosi

held its own and that the discovery OF
the North Pole would be useless to man
