been quite popular and have followed
in quick succession. The fad for yellow

already appeared in one or two rather
elegant functions.

ana prehistoric vanoais, were IN q TO-
markable state of preservation and bore
excellent likenesses to the originals. It
was decided, as the images could not be
removed to the plain below, to take
plaster casts Of them, and this was
done, although not without heroic effort,
as water with which to mix the plaster
had to be carried on the backs Of the
professor and his helpers from the can
yon below. The temperature was some
thing frightful and added not little
to the dangers Of the undertaking. But
the indomitable will and courage Of the
scientist carried the day and the casts
were finally made They will ultimately
be exhibited in the Walker museum Of
the university.
Photographs Of regions seldom, If
ever, visited by white men were Sc
cured, and they were not expected. Pro-
fessor Starts main purpose in making
his trip was to secure photographs Of
the Pueblo Indians, but the nonarrival
of the official photographer turned his
attention TO other channels. When,
however. the photographer joined the
party in the canyons of the Rio Grande,
he made up for lost time and many ex-
cellent views were obtained. Lack of
time alone prevented the professor from
making trip to the Mesa Encantada,
or Enchanted mesa, whose top is clouded
III mysterious legends.
Owing to the ignorance and supersti-
tion of the Pueblo Indians and their
suspicion of everything done by the
whites it was extremely difficult to get
any reproductions of their likenesses,
but Professor Starr succeeded in secur-
ing 16. The collection includes types Of
both sexes and all ages. They will be
colored true to the shades of the origi-
mails and will be ON exhibition in the
museum. The anthropologist says that
he thinks the busts he has secured are
the finest in existence. He does not
think that in the world there is finer
collection Of busts Of Indian tribes than
those he has secured from the Pueblos.
He also expects to secure two life size
figures illustrating the national and
sacred dance which is held annually in
July. Mr.. Melville, the modeler, has
been left in New Mexico in charge of
the enterprise, and he has instructions
to proceed to San Felipe, Lagun and
Acoma for other models.
Professor Starr expects to return to
New Mexico in the fall, when he will
also journey into old Mexico. New

INDIAN ART RELICS.
VALUABLE REMAINS FOUND By PRO-
. FESSOR STARR IN NEW MEXICO.

a Remarkable Painted Cave, . Supposed
Stronghold Of the Fierce Cochitis.
Carved Stone Figures Found Which DIS
play the Skill Of the Indian SCULPTOR.
After successful trip Of exploration
among the Pueblo Indians of New Mex
leo Professor Frederick A. Starr, head
of the anthropological department Of
the University of Chicago, returned re-
Gently to Chicago literally loaded down
with valuable data of their prehistoric
life and a fund of information for fu-
ture researches. Though in that coun-
try but little more than two weeks
Professor Starts explorations have
proved eminently satisfactory, and he
found time to visit and examine some
of the enchanted fnesas Of the Cochiti
Indians. With the professor was I. B.
Melville, who acted as his modeler,
taking copies Of the wall paintings in
the mysterious abode of the ancient Co.
chitis in Caeva Pintada, or painted
cave. This cave is only reached by
rough footholds cut in the sides of the
almost perpendicular cliff which rises
100 feet above the plain. The cave is
at the top Of the cliff. Professor Starr
will have complete model made Of
this cave, the history of which is al
most entirely unknown, but which is
supposed to have been a stronghold Of
the fierce Oochitis
Some Of the paintings in the cave are
the finest north Of Mexico. They are
done in red, black and white, with red
predominating, and in this shade are
done the painted descriptions Of the
kaehinas, or sacred dances. For centu.
ries this cave was the Mecca of the
tribes dwelling southwark and west
ward, and the Cochitis had lived in it
many hundreds of years ago. Professor
Starr dissents from the views Of some
who connect the place with the Aztec
civilization and claims that it was the
exclusive dwelling place of the Cochitis,
who, he believes, had nothing to do
with the ancestors Of Montezuma.
A thousand feet above the Cueva Pin
tada rise the dizzy heights of the Potre-
70 de las Vegas, and the scaling of these
ramparts the anthropologist considers
one of his greatest feats. While not at
all anxious to repeat the trip, it will
bring important results, as at the top of
the mesa were found objects Of untold
value to science and to history. The
place overlooks the canyon Of the RIO
Grande and is practically impossible to
animals Of any kind except the noun
tain goat. The place used to be a pas
ture for the Mexican sheep. but upheay-
ais OF nature have rendered the passage
to the top extremely hazardous, even to
man.
Two carved stone images of panthers,
evidently executed centuries ago by
sculptors Of no ordinary merit, were
found ON top Of the mesa, surrounded by
. circle Of polished stones. They were
evidently fetiohes Of the Chochitis, and,

France, and through France the whole
of the civilized world, is threatened
with an irreparable calamity, from q
gastronomic point of view. Roquefort
cheese is menaced with extinction. The
milk Of the sheep that browsed on the
thyme clad banks Of the Larnac and of
the Aveyron has long since ceased to
suffice for the market. Flocks have ac-
cordingly been fed in grassy pastures
and have yielded larger quantity of
milk, but Of q very inferior quality.
Worse still, cows milk has been min
gled with that OF the sheep. and the
cheese being artificially ripened speedy
deterioration ensued. Cheesemongers
now look askanoe at what is called
Roquefort and hesitate to such an extent
to buy it that business which in times
past has been worth $40, 100000 and
has afforded employment to over 100,
600 people is at standstill, with no
prospect Of revival, for name and an
art once lost are almost beyond recovery.
The Rus, one of the most important

cred that his principal assistant was q
police spy who had joined the staff of
The Rus in order to keep the authorities
thoroughly posted in what was going
ON in literary and journalistic circles
On learning this M. Hadjeburoff at once
notified his assistant that he was dis
missed, whereupon he himself was sum-
rnoned to the Office of the imperial CEN
lor Of the press and notified that unless
he consented to keep the spy in his en-
ploy the powers Of confscation and of
censorship would be employed to the ut
most by the government to ruin the pa
per, whereas il the spy was permitted
to remain The Rus would enjoy COM
parative immunity from censorship. NJ
Hadjeburof declined to be a party to
any such an arrangement and, in order
TO escape the persecution Of the impe-
rial censor, suspended the issue of his
paper.
