PREHISTORIC PEOPLE.
Discoveries Showing the Existence
Of m Unknown Race In Florida
CHICAGO Record

Major Dwell, director of the Bureau of
American Ethnology. has Just returr-,I
from visit to Florida. where, under his
direction. Frank Hamilton Cushing. the
famous explorer, has been making sotE
very ren,a rkablc discoveries. He has dem
onstrated the former existence OF a Eitl 81
to unknown race who lived in Florida in
prehistoric times, and whose habits and
customs were very much like those Of that
curious people who still live in huts raised
upon piles over the surface of the water in
Lake Maracaibo, in the western part of
Venezuela.
The existence OF this race was unsus-
pected until recently, but during the last
winter MIR Gushing has found the mo-
abundant evidence of their occupation, EoJ
only in the southern part OF Florida, in
Guiding all the bays and swanps. lakes and
everglades. but also the innuInerable islands
and keys that lipe the coast. Evidences OF
their existence are found as far north as
Tampa Bay, and Mr. Cushing expects TO
trace them to Yucatan- His Investigation
thus far have been confined TO two counties.
Leo and Dade. Tampa Bay, Charlotte
harbor and the o 900 isiands.on the west
ern coast of the State.
Under the she'll heaps that are so COM
mon throughout this locality he has found
carloads of most interesting relics. pot
tery, Inpiements aud vessels OF wood, bore
and stone, innumerable burial mounds in
an excellent state or preservation, hut
unlike anything found else ewhere in this
country and although his Investigations
have not been thorough. Mr. Gushing he-
heves that all tire coral islands in the Gulf
of Mexico are covered With such things

BIG CARGO OF SUGAR.
The Roanoke Is on the Ocean With
$3.50 Tons I'm Her Hold

san FRANCISCO EJdnitpef-
The Roanoke, the largest American ship
afloat, is on her way from Houolulu TO New
York, with the biggest cargo of sugar ever
shipped in the wCrld. and one OF the la rgcst
cargoes that has ever left any port. She
has slowed in her hold 5, $40 tons of mer-
chandse.
The Roanoke WIS chartered by J. ID.
Spreckels' Brothers 4 Co. TO clean up the
expert sugar in the islands. She is the last
vessel that will sail from Hawaii for the
Atlantic side this year. Sugar has been GO
ing from Honolulu to New York and Phila-
t,clpia since January in rder TO divert the
supply frt IN this port that the markctmight
mt be overbalauced and prices sent down.

REUNION AT MONUMENT

they will submit a report to the reunion
here, and that action will be taken in the
matter.
Among the cities competing for this
museum are New Orleans. A ;lanta, Charles
ton. Richmond and Washington. 1t is
understood that Richmond is held in the
mast favorable light of any OF the cities
competing, because of its being the old
capital, though there are powerful arga-
ments for all. There is already a large Con-
federate museum here, with headquarters
in the old Jefferson Davis mansion, the
White House of the Confederacy. The value
or this museum Is thought to be about
100000, and efforts have been made to
try to get the Rouss Museum combined
with this, to form the Battle Abbey of the
South. II this fails a strong pressure will
be brought to bear in favor of Richmond as
the place, and it is more than likely that
the capital of the Confederacy will be Sc
lected.
The number OF guests that will visit Rich
mond at this time can hardly be estimated,
for all veterans whether of North or South,
rally at the word reunion, and it is likely
there will be such gathering as has never
before been thought possible North or
South. JOHN s. IRBY.

A SONG THAT TOUCHED HER
twas Sung in Midsummer Where
Men Were Scarce.
Truth

"Arma virumque cano."
The Boston girls eyes filled with a tender
light as she bent over the well-worn vol
ume Of the Aereid and softly spoke the
words. but the Vassar maid in the nearby
hammock only stirred uneasiIy in her
sleep.
wiping the mist from her gold-rimmed
glasses with a yiolet-scented kerchief, the
Boston girl hugged the beloved book to her
bosom and again her lips parted.
''Arma virumque cano,' she repeated
dreamIly, and cnce again the s.eepe stirred.
Deity hooking the glasses in the deep in
dentations that marked the bridge OF her
aristccratic nose, the Poston girl glanced

obseryatOries- This is to 0bviate any
chance of accident to the plates, for IL
both were lost, the damage would be al
most irreparable. Some idea OF fhe mag
nitude OF the task undertaken may be
gained from the fact that to Reproduce
the map from the plates will cost over
S2,oOO.OOO. When to this is added the
cost OF the instruments, the time Of the cal
cuiatOrs and measurers, and the number
less etceteras which pertain to a work of
so gigantic nature, the ultimate cost
will be Tremendous. But the map, when
completed, will be Or inestinabIe value

what aspect the heavens presented at
the period represented
Any changes subsequent to this period
will be at once detected, and valuable in
formation gained We know that the stars
are constantly changing their positions.
but except in the case of the larger ones
we do not know what those changes are.
The observatories participating in this
work will each year bear the cost of. and be
responsible for, its own peculiar piece
of sky. When completed the photographs
Will all be forwarded to the Paris Observa-
tory for the production of the map
Stellar photographs are always used
Just as they come from the camera, With
out any retouching whatever The num-
ber OF stars shown is proportionate to the
length of exposure of the sensitive plate
At first it was intended to include stars
of the fifteenth magnitude in the measure
ments. but the treme endous additional
labor involved caused the congress to fix
the limit at the fourteenth magnitude
Almost nothing is known of stars which
are such an enormous distance away, and
no map or record has ever before been
made of them As matters stand at pres
ent few millions Of them might dis
appear without astronomers being any the
wiser. The gigantic map was planned by
the Paris Observatory in S66, and propo-
s;tion made to all the big observatores
to assist in the work. Since that date the
principal observatories have been busy on
the big scheme. which will certainly be the
most wonderful thing modern astronomy
has accomplished

The map will be in total area nearly
two acres, but must necessarily be divided
up into manageable size. For each
hemisphere there Will be l l 900 little maps
or 1000 for the whole sidereal universe
Upon it will be shown about thirty millions
OF stars. OF these 2.OO0, 900 will be cata-
logued and numbered. SO that any star
up to the eleventh magnitude can be loca ted
as easily rs an island in the map of the
world. The stars actually shown upon
the map will be ali those upto the fourteenth
magnitude. A great number or the stars
shown upon the map cannot be seen by
the human eye, even with the aid of the
most powerfuiteiescope The Photographic
plate, however. can detect many millions
of stars which no man has ever seen.
The long exposure necessary in order
TO get photographs of stars beyond the
fourteenth magnitude renders the opera
ton too difficult for the co instruction
OF q map. The most sensitive plate known
would require some days exposure to ta &c
picture of star of the eighteenth or
nineteenth magnitude, and after oil the

to be recorded, and TO do this hundreds -
astronomers have been working for years
Special apparatus was purchased by each
observatory fas the work. All the instru.
ments must be similar in size and con-
struction, or the photographs woulsI not
be alike. The International congress which
was held at the Paris Observatory eight
years ago decided that q telescope must be
constructed for each observatory engaged

There was young man who was q slave
TO the bitter weed. His pet form of the
vice was the deadly and much berated
cigarette. Tie young man does not mind
buying his own cigarettes. but. being OF
frugal tendencies, does not like to supply
his friends also. One day not long ago
willie sea ted alone he took out his cigar
ette package. He discovered that he had
four OF them left. He had at first sup
posed that he had only three cigarettes.
SO with sigh of satisfaction he adjusted
one of them to his lips and lit 1t.
He had scarcely finished it when several
of his friends entered the room. His to-
bacco hunger was still unsatisfied. but he
feared to take out his box because he
thought bis friends would ask him for the
other two ciga rettes. But still he loDged
very much to smoke. AT last he bethonght
himself of a strategy and proceeded to
work II. He drew out the cigarette box
and quickly took one of them out.
.Give me cigarette" said one of the
friends.
Tue frugal gentleman. with a shake of
the hea d. closed the box and threw it on
the floor. The strategem worked. as the
Others supposed. OF course, that the cigar

the frugal gentleman winked one eye
knowingly and returned the box to his

1t was an amusing case OF the bitter

men, who faced very pretty girl CON-
fortably seated at their elbows. One of
the young men was attracted by the pretty
face and was apparently soon determined
upon campaign OF conquest. As he could
not attract her attention in any other
manner, he evidently resolved to do it by
touching her toe with his foot. To his
delight the touch of his shoe was returned
with light tap, and for two blocks he
kept up this novel form of filtration.
Finally the girl rose to get off, and the
young man who had not previously figured
in the matter, who proyei to be the pretty
damsel's escort, turned to follow her from
the car. ''Sec here. you blanked IDIOT he
