accounted for by the supposition that they had

The situation of this remarkable archaeological
find was a deposit OF shell, gravel and sand in
bank consisting Of about thirty acres nearly
surrounded by the Clear Creek. This deposit
consists of seven distinct strata each about three
feet thick, and between each stratum there Is
deposit OF silt or earth from one-fourth inch tt
one inch in thickness. On the top OF the bana
the soil is about eight inches deep and large
live oak trees grow thickly over it. 1t is one
of the last places one would go to in looking for
the remains Of a prehistoric race. No two
OF the strata are exactly alike, some having
larger percentage OF gravel than Others, and tho
shells also vary. Some much larger than
others, some are oyster shells and some arc
ELAN. On the average the deposit consists OF
| about 40 per cent. shell, 10 per cent. gravel and
20 per cent. coarse sand In the second layer
from the top the bones were found in great
alnlntlarcc, and in the bottom layer, Just at
water level and about twentyone feet below tho
top OF the bank, large quantities Of the bones
were found. Just how to explain this phase
of the situation has taxed the antquarians. Some
suggest the possibility Of two successive tidal
waves, one perhaps far removed from the other
in point of time. The ivory beads found We're
about one.fourth inch in diameter and one and
one.half to two inches long with hole length
ways and diagonal groove cut on the outside.
%
The exhibit OF these bones in the Ethnology
building of the Pa1.American exposition at Buff
falo will be most valuable one in view OF the
wide interest excited by the fate Of Thousands
who perished recently in this same part OF
the country in the same way. The Inhabitants
OF ancient Pompei and IIerculaneum perished in
day and their cities were blotted from the face
Of the earth ty the fiery flood from the burning
mountain Yesuyius but generations later the lava
covering their houses has been removed and their
homes together with their skeletons, their uten-
sls, and the remains of their rich civilization
have been uncovered to the curious gaze Of this
scientist and the sight'seer. Here, too, In this
western world lived people which was over
taken by flood and which perished in a night,per-
haps longer ago than the event described SO
graphically in Bulwer's LAST Days OF Pompeii"
and in the closing days of the nineteenth cen.
tury their bones have been taken from the friend
ly earth which for many ages has sAcredly
kept the secret of their abiding place. And by
singular combination OF events the secret was
discovered Just before the occurrence Of another
great tidal wave, similarly disastrous to human
life, and in time for the exhibition Of the relics
at the exposition which is to illustrate the prog
ress upon tbs continent OF race which saw Il
not till perchance thousands Of years after the
convulsion of nature which put the seal Of death
upon the secret Of this rehistoric people.
