One OF the most interesting curiosi-
ties lately added to the Museum of Nat
ural History In New York Is a prehis-
toric life size statue of an American In
armor. Visitors who go there will
learn that men in armor are not con-
fined to the effete monarchies of Eu-
rope. The time when Americans wore
this sort OF clothing began ages be-
fore the Oldest suit Of armor in tho
Tower of London. This terra Gotta fig
ure was found by an Indian in a cave
near the modern city of Texcoco. Il
was broken In a number OF pieces when
found, and with these fragments were
portions belonging to two other figures
of similar character. The figure In
approximately life size, and represents
man with arms extended and mouth
open as IL singing or shouting. The
hands show that each formerly grasped
some object; the ends OF the fingers
are broken on The body Ia dressed In
quilted armor; the head Is artifcialIy
fattened. 1t seems evident that we
have, in this remarkable specimen OF
art In terra Gotta the actual portrait
or statue OF some distinguished war
chief OF the old Alcoihuan tribe, dress
ed in armor, and very probably having
in his hands his sword and shield.
This statue carries us back to the days
when the American continent possessed
civilization of its own that has dis
aDU6ar red more cOmuiete1v than that ~
ancient Egypt or Assyria. Then there
we're kings who wore golden crowns,
and knights in armor, and temples and
palaces, and the very memory OF which
bewilders the imagination with their
size and splendor. These men were
learned in the arts OF painting and
sculpture and architecture, and in the
sciences OF warfare and engineering
and mechanics.

The extraordinary carelessness OF
parents in leaving dangerous drugs
within reach of children is In marked
contrast with governmental superyi-
sion over druggists and physicians. A
Few weeks ago man bought some
chloroform with which to kill a dog.
and while waiting to use it, wrapped
the bottle in cloth and tucked 1t into
work-basket. Two little children
found 1t, presumably faneied it a sick
ooi, and took it to bed with them. In
the morning the child clasping the un-
eorked bottle was found dead; the
ether unconscious, past recovery. So
bitter an experience emphasizes the
oft-repeated and oft-forgotten warning
that the first essential for the family
medicine-chest is lock and key.
