BUSHELS of pearls have been found
during the past few years in the
mounds built by the ancient Americ-
ans who occupied the Mississippi val
ley. Ohio has been the especially lu-
crative field for investigation concern
ing the mound builders. More than a
gallon of pearls were found with two
skeletons in the Efgy mound near
Chillicothe. All of the pearls were per-
forated, probably done with a heated
copper wire, and probably for the pur-
pose of attaching the pearls to belts or
clothing.

in a recent reading, showed that
snakes did not really have any fascin-

prey. The doctor comes to this con-

matter. He cites the fact that rabbits,
rats, ducks and hens, even after seeing
their companions crushed or swallow
ed, showed no signs of alarm.

PEACH CROP sHRINKAGE.

Hough & Barnes Will Have Less Than
 One Fourth Harvest
 Messrs Hugh & Barnes, one of the best known firms of peach growers in New England, whose extensive or chards are located near Meriden and Wallingford town line, report that they are harvesting less than one-fourth of 9 crop this year. They have been pick ing for about two weeks and will finish in ten or twelve days Last year in their orchards in that section they har- vested 13,000 baskets of the luscious fruit that has made their name famous among fruit consumers of New Eng land. This year, however, they do not expect that the total yield will eX- ceed 2,500 baskets.
 Peach growers have had great deal to contend with this season. First hail storms after the fruit had set, spoiled part of the crop, then the protracted wet weather damaged it further and the drought later worked more destruc- ton. After that the curculio appeared and finished the work MT. Barnes, of this firm, has very extensive orchards in Cheshire, and his crop there has been an absolute failure.
