Scientists Unedth in New Mexico the Ruins Of G in the Cliffs,
, Hundreds Of Feet Above the Bottom Of the Canon.

Rev. DR.. George L. Cole has returned
to Los Angeles within the past few
days from a trip to Arizona and New
Mexico, where he has been exploring
again the cliff dwellings, with news If
the most remarkable of all those sur
prising discoveries. He has found the
metropolis of the cliff jewellers, vast
city compared to all the other discov-
cries previously unearthed, in which
probably twenty thousand of these
strange people lived More than this,
he has uncovered strange skeletons
which in various attributes show
marked differences from any previous

its results sIrpasses any previous one,
save only in the extent of its re-
searches. which. for the reason that it
was unprepared for extended work

His discovery was due to a strange
good fortune. He accidentally heard Of

from Paris is the decoration of dresses

the result is admirable. A dress OF

When an able and experienced ply
stefan offers to give away $40, 900 worth
of New Personal Treatment for dis
eases of the heart, nerves, stomach or
dropsy, it is conclusive evidence that
he has great faith in it. And when
hundreds of prominent men and wo-

certainly worthy of serious considera-

mates that it would cost about $1,000
to properly excavate the ruin and to
scientifically collect all the informa
ton which it could throw on the life
of the cliff jewellers.

sity, scientific body or museum may
undertake the exploration and that
the ruins may be protected from the
relic hunters and vandals that ne has
kept to himself the means OF reaching
the newly discovered pueblo and the
name of the prospector who found it.
A hint of why the city was aban-
doned with its pottery standing in the
familiar corners, its stone mortars
against the wall and its mats upon the
floor is found in the fact that the
mound Is largely of volcanic ash.
Across the canon are marks of re-
cent volcanic action. DR.. Cole believes
that centuries upon centuries ago there
was an outpouring of internal fires.
Terrified by the sinking Of the rock
platform which had long been their
home. half suffocated by smoke and
sulphur fumes, the cliff dwellers, at
the very beginning of the disturbances,
filled with superstitious terror, fled,

nothing to be feared from the extreme
cold of the far north. His own recent
experience, however, shows that he was
mistaken. After exerting himself to the
point of exhaustion he was caught on
an ice foe. far from his camp, and was
obliged to spend the night under a
temporary shelter. AS result his feet
were so severely frost bitten that seven
toes were amputated. In spite of this
accident he has determined to stay in
the arctic and will start early in Febru-
airy on dash to the pole by dog sledge.
In the effort he will be assisted by an
entire tribe of arctic highlanders.
Many explorers believe that he has bet
ter chances of reaching his goal than
any of his predecessors.

A FILIPINO UNIFORM.
1t Indicates How Small the Natives
Must BE.

Must BE.
Among the interesting trophies sol
diers in the Philippines have sent to
Des Moines is uniform which Frank
Merrill of company H, son of Jere-
miah M. Merrill of 1904 East Ninth
street. took from a captured Filipino
and sent to his parents in this city.
The uniform is patterned somewhat
after the Spanish uniform, and is quite
fantastic for use in war times. The
red and yellow combinations so popu-
lar with the Spaniards appear on the
blouse of the uniform. Some idea of
the inferiority OF the Filipinos and
their insignificanee as compared with
Americans can be had from the size of
the uniform. 1t would be good fit for
a 12-year-old American boy. and it is
easy to believe all that has been said
after examining their uniform. The
trousers Of the uniform are of red call
leo and are made regular pajama style,
being tied at the top with draw
string. Along the outer seam of the
legs are stripes of black velvet. The
blouse is made of heavy cotton ma
terial, which is woven with alternate
pin stripes of white and black. The
collar of the blouse is Of red calico and
is adorned in front with two stripes
of yellow calico. The cuffs of the
blouse are also of red calico and bear
three stripes of yellow The front of
the jacket bears six stripes of red and
yellow calico combined. Altogether
the costume looks as If it might have
been designed by some child who had
a fondness for bright colors. The sew
ing on the garments has been done
with sewing machine and the blouse
has been fastened with hooks and eyes
and buttons similar to those in COM
mon use in this Des Moines
Capital.
