PREHISTORIC MAN,
A Valuable Collection of Relics Placed 1
ks I.,s

the Smithsonian Institute.
There has recently been received at
the Smithsonian Institution a colIec-
tion which is of the greatest import
ance to the archaeologist, and which,
when all the facts conc arning it are
known by the casual visitor to the
place, will be of undoubted interest,
says the Washington Star. In it are
weapons and implements used by pre-
histo &c, primevsl man, hundreds of
thousands of yea ago. 1t may have
been that with such a weapon as is
comprised in the collection Cain kill. d
Abel, and the residents of the stone
age hunted the huge monstrosities in
the wi!ds of Africa, the plains of II dia
England.
The collection is kpOwp a the Seton.
Karr contri button, having been discov-
cred by this prominent English expert
in archaeological matters in Somai l.
land, on the eastern coast of Africa
som, months ago. The implements
were purch ased from the discoverer by
the Smithsonian Institution and pl ,ced
in the division of prehistoric authrOp
Ology.
There are about fifty pieces in the
collection, made of flint, or qua tide
and ranging in size from an inch or sc
in length TO half a foot, some eighing
several pounds. The objects are sup
posed to be spear heads, battle axe:
aud wedges, truncheons, hludgeons, OF
whate Yer they may be termed.
Gazing at them one can gain an ides
of VIDA. the ancestors of the human
race locked like, muscular and hairy
coarse of form and atUre, with huge
| bodies and massive limbs. Such i'm
plements could have been welded by
none except race of giants.
Archa biologists say that the object.
belong to the palaeOlithic age, which
| is, thev also assert, the first stone age
pals eolithic meaning ancient store
They also belong to the Clipped stone
age. practically the same, the GROUND
stone having come later. To be def
mite, the cole ctiop. according to the
archaeologists, comprises objects made
and used by the first people who in
| habited the earth.

Dr. Swearingen and Quarantine

Health Officer Swearingeu thinks
the scare is exaggerated and wants to
alleviate the EN- barrassing quarantine
81 ua' ion us much as possible in ord r
tba: traffic in the state may be re-
sumed. AS it is now every section of
tines and DR.. Swearingen's aim from
now on will be to try and show the peo-
pie that Texas is in no danger from it's
interior and explain why such rigid
interior quarantine is unnecessary. An
effort is now to be made, according to
reports here, to abol sh rigid interior
quarantine so that traffic can be resum-
ed. Border quarantine will be mai =
tanned as rigidly as ever, but the hope
is that local quara ntines will be made
much milder so that trains and people
can travel from point to point, which is
practically prohibited at present under
| existing guarantees.

RESOURCES of New Mexico.

| The secretary of the interior has re
ceived the annual report of Gov. Ote no
of New Mexico. The governor says
the population of the territory has in
creased by 10000 since the census of
| 1890, and adds that it is capable of sup
por ing five millions of people.
| The governor dwelis with special
| emphasis upon the mineral and agri
cultural resources of the territory. He
says that fruit growing is progress q g
| ra pidly and that 1000, 900 pounds Of
| wool were grown last year. He states
| that the culture of the sugar beet is
making rapid Roadway in all parts of
the territory, but especially in the
Peco valley, where the culture has
| become we'll established.
A sugar factory has been established
at Eddy, and the governor makes the
prediction that this will soo1 be known
as beet sugar center. He says, how
ever, that experiments demonstrate
| that the entire RIO GrAnde valley. from
Colorado TO Texas, is equally well ad
apted to the culture of the beet, and
| that the entire irrigable land in the
territory may thus be used. The cul-
tivatiOn of canaigre for tanning pur-
poses is also growing to be an import
ant industry.
The governor calls attention to the
fact tbs at New Mexico is a gold bearing
country anu says tndb WlInln the past
few years there has been a great re-
newal of activity in the mines ''Sev.
eral DISTRICTS he says, ''have been
found and new placer beds have been
worked by new men who have taken
out thousands of d liars" ard he adds:
Information which is reliab BILE from
gold camps throughout the territory
strength" ms the hope that New Mexico
will soon reap the benefit of genuine
mining boom. Never has there been
such interest since the advent of the
railroads, in the mineral development
Of the territory, especially near the
COlors do line"
Gov. Otero says there are 100000
sheep in the territory; that flu ly $1,000
of the people are supported by the wool
industry, and that last year was the
most advantageous ever known in the
business. He predicts large growth
in the industry.
The governor takes strong ground in
favor of statehood, claiming the peo-
pie to be entirely capable of self gov
eminent. He argues that admission
into the union would be beneficial

called to al unusu Il field of usefulness
They are filed and refilled. The only
times when they are empty are whel
they are returning from some vessel
whose hold has been filed with theil
contents. No one in New York ever
remembers anything like it. The
ships are insufficient in point of mum
bers to carry out of the harbor all the
cargoes of grain that are wanted else
where. This is the harvest time of thu
tramp steamer or sailing vessel. 1t is
no longer doubtful as to whether or no
cargo can be secured, but the ques-
ton is which shipper will pay the
highest price.
ALL OVER THE WORLD.
To mention the individual places
where American wheat is going this
year would be to recapitulate the map
of the world. The wheat crop of the
world is short, and, therefore, the
United States must make up that short
age as best it can. and incidentally
profit imme nsely. 1t is declared by
tnanciers that in the movement of the
whe at crop New York City banks alone
will be called upon to furnish $50, 0O0,-
600. This is comparatively but drop
in the bucket. Great fortunes have
been made by the spectators, of
course, but the farmer gets the best
of it in the long run. There will be
no more so cent wheat for many long
year.
There are also heavy exports of corn
this year, but the price of corn has ad
vauced but little compared with that
of wheat. This is due partly to the
fact that the 1896 crop will be enormous
aud there is not the same demand for
It in other countries that there is for
wheat.
