have been related to the former of these peoples.
 MT Saville is the head of the de- partment of archaeology in the Ameri- can Museum and has spent many years in. studying the traces of the prehis- toric peoples of America. Since 1889 he has been constantly making re- searches in Mexico.
 MT. Saville left on his latest and most successful trip on October last. It was his purpose to decipher certain picture writings which cover the temple of MonteZumas far-famed sun god, then considered the most important ancient American structure extant. Quetzal- coatl, the sun god, was the principal diety of the AZtecs, and by some lucky chance his temple escaped the destruc- tive hands of Cortez and the other Spanish invaders.
 The young explorer has just returned to New York, and the secrets which he has unearthed and which he now for the first time announces to the world, prove to be far more important than any that were in the keeping of the sun god.
 MT. Saville's work was prosecuted under the auspices of the Mexican Gov ernment, and he was accompanied by MT. Humphreys, a surveyor who acted as an official Mexican representative. They took along with them a consider able force of Mexican laborers to do the work of excavation, and carried a type writer, oumera and other implements Of modem civilization with which to prosecute their work.
 While on the way to his intended field or labor, Mir Saville found traces of great group of pyramids near Xoxo This region has long been recognized as a fruitful field for the discovery of Zepotecan relics. Thinking that little exploration might uncover something of value, MT. Saville set his native la borers at work and in a short time had unearthed number of pyramids and smaller mounds. The twelve largest of these pyramids are of the sort called teocalli, an Aztec word meaning divine tombs. The ground throughout this re- zion was thickly overgrown with gua- muchi Gnd mesquite. The roots from these trees penetrated to a great depth and in several instances they had broken through the stone floors or the mounds. Specimens of ancient pottery and other relics were found which had been broken up by the same resistless forces.
 One day while MT. SavilIe was recon noitering some distance to the north of the big group of pyramids he came to a rise of ground forming a sort of low plateau some distance above the rest of the plain and covered with the usual heavy vegetation and undergrowth. Separating the vines and brambles as well as he could for short distance from the outer edge of the growth. and

THIS DOG HAS FALSE TEETH

with his new set of artificial teeth.
 He revolted furiously at first, and fought violently against the innovation, but at length he became reconciled, and he is now an extremely proud, not to say a conceited, dog. His teeth are taken out and cleaned each night with his own toothbrush and special tooth powder.
 ''The outlay for materials used in ex- periments and failures said MT. Nose ly, was considerable. My leading mechanic was employed on the case for over ten days, and put in more hard work and took more skin off my finger tips in shaping those teeth than I have done in a year of ordinary work. No, I shouldn't care to do another one for a patient, unless I had carte blanche in both money and time, and even then I should think twice.

vincing data for the scientific meaning with which the explorations have clothed the masses of hitherto mean ingless stone and dust. Everywhere there was found proof that the Zapote- cans were peace-loving people who must have been governed by an elab- crate code of laws and customs. They had a literature, too, for we found proofs and traces of it, though, of course, there was no time to go eX- tensively into that phase of the ex- plorations. Their religion must have developed to an advanced stage, for we found proof that they did not offer up live sacrifices in their religious fetes
 Doubtless further work will bring to light other important and interesting facts about the lives and customs of these pc, pie whom we may justly look upon as our earliest predecessors on this continent. Just how extensive these discoveries may prove to be it is impossible to sav at the present time.

It will be made so chiefly by paper which MT: Marshall H. Sa- : vile of the American Museum of Nat ural History is preparing, and which he will read before the association. In this paper Mr.. Saville will relate the remarkable results of his recent ex- plorations among the ancient cities of Mexico, of which, until the present time, nothing has been published. The officers of the American Museum, who are the only ones thus far acquainted with the full import of Explorer Sa- vflles discoveries, have pronounced them the emost remarkable ever made on this hemisphere. Not only are they likely to revolutionize some of the pet '. theories of archaeologists. and anthro- biologists, but they are the greatest popular interest for the light that they throw on the much discussed question of the origin of the most ancient in habitants of the Western Continent. The results of this work promise to prefix at least one entrancing' chapter to the history of the Americans.
 The scene of these remarkable dis coveries. which promise to dissipate much of the mystery now surrounding the prehistoric civilization of this con- Nnent is XoXo, about five miles south or the district of Oaxaca. The most important part of the work was accom- pllshed during the six weeks of the half year over which MT. Saville's recent trip extended.
 The story of how the discoveries came to be made shows that the ele- ment of luck may play large part in Sclenufc explorations, as well as in the less exact affairs of men. Half by ac- cident, Mr. Savile stumbled upon the ruins of great prehistoric metropo- Ls, the ancient capital of the Zepo- tecas, by all odds the most enlightened nation that ever inhabited the new world prior to the advent of European civilization. He not only found this an- cient city, but unearthed hieroglyphics of a character far surpassing anything hitherto supposed to exist in the West ern hemisphere, besides other proofs of high culture and an advanced civil ization. The explorer Is convinced af- ter careful scientific analysis that these revelations place the prehistoric Zepotecan nation on a par with the an- cient races of India, Chaldea and Egypt, and that they possibly prove the first settlers of this continent to

phere as field for archaeological study, the great question has been to settle conjectures as to how the pre- historic tribes and nations sprang up in America. The theory most widely &C., cepted is based on the Hypothesis that the vanguard of human migration to this continent was composed of wan dering tribes from Asia who crossed by the Boring Straits into Alaska and who, meandering southward through North America, finally settled in Mex ico.. By this theory South America was populated partly by subsequent migra- tions from the same source and partly by secondary ones from the Mexican settlers. It is possible that further Za- potecan explorations will settle this question. which for four hundred years has been scientific riddle. and that the phonetic writings, burial GUS toms and architectural peeuliarities brought to light on and about Monte Alban may disclose the origin. and even the progenitors themselves of the first Americans"

He had no teeth, however, and found that we had to specially prepare food for him. He became very unfortunate in the ken nels, where the dogs would worry him, without his being able to defend himself, and treat him with the utmost contempt. So the idea occurred to me that I might make him set of false teeth It had never been done. before to my knowledge, and there were great difficulties in the way, but l saw no reason why 1t should not be done.
 "So I chloroformed Myn Duivel and removed the few stumps he had left. The puzzle, after the mouth was pre- pared, was how to fit the plate. Every thing had to be specially made, but at last I succeeded in taking models of the dogs mouth, and the most difficult part of the operation was over, or SO, at least, I congratulated myself. From the models metal dies were cast, and natty little platinum plates struck to fit each jaw. These plates had to be of double thickness in order to obtain sufficient strength, as Myn Duivel, hav- ing no fear of his dentists bilE Is reck- less in the way he tackles bones.

AT the annual meeting of the Morris

first vote on applications for license.
Commissioner Sturgis was chosen chair

On the first call of roll, Mr.. Fox stated
that as this was his first vote on applica-
tions he wished to say that he was in
favor of granting licenses to those whose
places were conducted according to law.

objection to Mr.. Glennon, he did object

3 P. G. A. sells Game cocks.

Twas an amusing scene that drew up
in front of the Police Headquarters yes
terday afternoon in response to advertise
ment by the local branch of the S. P. G. A.
that three game cocks with gaffs, recent
ly captured, would be sold at auction
to the highest bidder. All the local
sports and many not SO sporty
were present awaiting with anxious
faces the final word Of Auc-
tioneer John Babbitt. On the first
bird the bids started at 25 cents and ran
slowly to So so, at which it was knock
ed off, ;" with privilege Of the two, much
to the surprise and modification of some
who had their eyes set on at least zone"
of the birds, but both were taken by
George Thomas" who said he came
from Dover, notwithstanding there was
a "kick" that the cocks were not sold
separately, and also that third cock was
not sold as advertised, it having died
while in the keeping of the Society. The
gaffs, it was said are to be sold later,
