Grain and Vegetables Raised by the CIin
DweIlers.
In the wilds of Colorado and Arizona
are found extensive ruins of habitn
tions, which, from having been built
in the face of steep cliffs. have re-
ceived the name of cliff dwellings,.
These ruins, says the American Agri.
culturist, have lately been explored 10y
scientists, and in them have been
found numerous human mummies
These people were of ordinary stature
well formed and had hair of a blonde
color, which goes to show that they
were not like the red Indians of the
present day. They knew the art of
spinning and weaving, the making of
ornamental cooking utensils, and the
art of brick making. But what is of
still greater interest they raised corn,
cotton, beans, pumpkins, and other
vegetables. That these crops were
raised by them is indisputable, as |
have seen great quantities of each
that were taken in dried state from
their dwellings,. 1t is interesti1:r TO
note the great Improvement in the
corn of the present day over that which
wa" i;tiHed by the cliff dwellers. The
corr 'thc latter was very sinai both in
the krrucl and in size of tho car. This
contrast goes to prove what u wonder
full effect human, selection and good
cultivation can produce on plant life.
There were found in these cliff dwell
iffgs' robes made of feathers. also
blankets made of wool and cotton,
childrcn'.' toys and crutches for the
use Of some invalid. Where these peo-
pie came from is a question archaeology
! Is noe yet aitlcf to answer. But that
they we're I'M agricultural people adj.
rtiits 6f no doabt, and that they were
surrounded by hostilevtril,es isaalso
evident, as they were. acSd ssto Si;Isa
refuge in their almSst mace essibl@
abodes on the steep cliffs.

Having Been Locked Three Years.
The huge vault at the mint, known

forj nearly four:syears '50,00O,O0O of
standard silver dollars, was opened
few rHBys tsg6, and the udohEa aid
laboei8nsf task of counting this big
amount of money was begun. AS the
occasion was deemed one of impor-
lance. says the Philadelphia Times,
there WAS Observed somelfttle formal
ity! Dr. Caleb Whitehead had come on
from Washington to represent the
mint bureau; Frank Sartori represented
Superintendent Townsend, and w. l..

William E. Morgan, United States

to be in this city, and accompanied by
Maj. NORMAN, witnessed the breaking
Of the seal and afterward made a tour
of inspection of the mint. ... ... ..
Maize. H. Townsend, cashier of the
mint, having been given the combine
ton Of the vault, proceeded to open
the door. This waS easily accomplished,
but when the inner door was reached
some difficulty was experienced, as
even after the combination lock was
manipulated the door refused to open.

This was soon overcome, however,
entrance was finally effcctcd and the
assembled officials stepped within the
Enclosure where lay piled hp millions.
On the inside door, fastened by scaling
wax, was sheet of foolscap paper con-
tanning the statement that $33. coo, 900
had been placed there on February Z,
1890, with Maj Meline. of the tr"a&Ury:

James c. Eyster. of the mint. present.
and that, further, S17, 900, 900 more had
been sealed up on May 26, 1891.
The vault emitted a damp, musty
odor when opened. Under the glare %
the electric light the great wealth Of
stored silver was visible. There il lay
in bags just as it had been placed
There were 10000 bags, each contain
ing $1,000 in shining coin. These bags
were piled up one on top of the other
the topmost almost reaching the
arched ceiling of the vault, nearly
nine feet high. The whole mass had
been arranged in different stacks
The first stack was thirte(-. .,ars high
and eight across. Just III &c rear OF
this was a second stack, while still
further back doomed up third. This.
though, represents only one section of
the vault Altogether there arc Jine
The weight of this great aulonn: Of
silver is 3,s5O,OOO pounds avoirl,,pois,
and the tremendous pressure Of the
upper bags upon the lower had caused
number of the latter to burst, caus-
ing their glistening contents to spread
out upon the floor.
