FOUND BUSHELS OF PEARLS.
Precious Gems That Were Buried In

Prehistoric EarthwOrl<s.
From the Boston Transcript.
Immense quantities of prehistoric pearls
have been discovered during the last few
years in the ancient mounds erected by a
forgotten race in the Mississippi valley.
especially at certain points in Ohio, and
the evidence thus obtained proves that
some of the chiefs whose people formerly
inhabited that region did actually possess
treasures in this form which far exceeded
In value those owned by the richest crown
ed heads to-day In fact, there are no
collections of pearls in existence at the
present time that would compare at all
with those gathered by che aboriginal
connoisseurs referred to. In some Of the
mounds pearls have been found, not by
hundreds of thousands, but by bushels
large numbers of them approaching or
even exceeding in size a hazel nut
How such enormous stores of them
were gathered is a problem not easily
solved The pearls were certainly obtain
ed from a species of mussel called the
'unio," which is stilI found In great abun-
dance in many of the streams of this eoun-
try; but In those days the shellfish in
question must have been far more plenti-
full than now. No more beautiful pearls
exist in nature than those yielded by the

have been magnificent indeed in the pc
Rod Of their glory. Unfortunately all OF
them have been ruined by decay due to
long burial. though an occasional specI-

Beauty when its outer layers are peeled
off.
In the famous Efiigy mound, near Chill
licothe, o. was found more than a gallon
OF pearls, with two skeletons. All had
been drilled with holes, made with a heat
ed copper wire This drilling was I'M
doubleday for the purpose of attaching
them to clothing or belts, as illustrated
by the fact that 400 or 500 had been serv-
ed originally upon shirt worn by one
of the skeletons. In other places in the
same region more than forty bears teeth
with pearls set in them were discovered.
From mound i'm the Little Miami valley
Prof. F. w. Putnam obtained over $1,000
pearls, nearly two bushels, drilled and
undriled. Two other deposits yielded up
ward of 100000 pearls.
Plenty Of evidence as to the possession
of great stores of pearls by the early alb
origines of this country is-~afforded by the
writings of the first explorers of the new
world. The attention of Columbus and
other Spanish discoverers was attracted
to the matter, and story having bear
Ing on the same subject Is told of the
followers of De Soto, who came upon
an Indian town near what is now Tampa
bay. Al one end of the town was tenn
pie, on the top Of which was perched
wooden fowl with gilded eyes. In these
eyes were pearls Of huge size. When the
Indian queen whose name was Ucita,
welcomed the strangers, she drew from
over her head a long string of pearls and
threw IL around the neck Of the leader OF
the expedition. Tho Spaniards returned
this courtesy by robbing the tombs In
the neighborhood, obtaining from them

OFFICER KAISER SICK
AT Present Suffering From Snme
Mental TrOubIe

.Patrolman George Kaiser, of the central
district is i'll at his home 90 East Ninth
street. Kaiser was the victim of partial
sunstroke last summer, when he was re-
heved from duty for nearly two months He
atterward seemed TO recover and was again
assigned to duty. OF late however Kaiser,s
associates have noticed rather strange con
duct on his part and Sunday night. While IN
duty, he showed marked mental trouble He
failed to communicate with Headquarters
through the patrol box, and when Lieut. Po
then hunted him up to ascertain the trouble
he could not get Kaiser to answer a word to
his questions. The patrolman simply stood
with his back to a telegraph pole and looked
at his superior with child-like smile The
next day Kaiser failed to report for duty and
Sergeant Ross called at his home Kaiser
appeared to be suffering from acute melan-
cholia and declared that his enemies were
attempting to harm him. He insisted that he
had no friends and that every one had
turned against him. Since Sergeant Ross
call it is said Kaiser simply sits brooding
about the house in full uniform and lament
Ing his imagined difficulties. He has always
been a popular policeman. Arrangements
were made yesterday to send Kaiser to a
hospital and today he will be placed unde:,
the care of expert physicians at local hos
pital to determine his particular mental all
ment, and, if possible, restore him to his nor
NAL condition. Kaiser was appointed to the
police force by Mayor Smith June II, 1894.
