tians tempered copper and bronze to
carry a razor edge is not borne out by
investigation Thomas Harper, of Belle

duce a piece of metal tempered by the
ancients that cannot be more than du-
plicated by any metal worker to-day.

ENGLISH MOUND BUILDERS.

Singular Antiquarian Discovery-A
Skull Buried Without It's Skeleton.
An interesting discovery relating to
the inhabitants of the British Isles in
pref historic ages Is reported from Shet-
land. A crofter at Quartz, in digging
into a mound on his field, came upon a
group of chambers constructed of stone
slabs. These contained urns and In the
one first opened a skull was also found
but in the other three no human re-
mains. If the skull proves to be hu-
man, ii is not easy TO account for its
presence without other bones; for the
urns indicated burial after cremation
The chambers, we may presume, were
not large-sueh as are sometimes called
Kist Vaens, or stone boxes. formed by
placing four or more slabs in an up
right position, with one to cover them.
In one OF these was placed an urn hold
ing the ashes of the dead, and over all
was piled a cairn of stones or mound of
earth Occasionally, however. the box
was made large enough to contain an
unburned corpse, which in early times
was commonly entombed in a doubled
up posture. But these houses of the
dead are built after several patterns.
In not few cases large slabs are used,
both for sides aud roofs, and the plan Of

construction varies very much. The
| simplest resembles that just described.
except that it forms chamber rather
than a box, more than one slab being
generally used on each side, but with
a gap or door left in one of them.
| The ground plan is rudely square or
oblong, and the roof often formed of a
| single slab. Such are called Dolmens,
| or in Britain, very often, Cromlechs.
Sometimes they are very large. The
uprights Of one in Brittany are about
| five feet above ground, and it Is big
enough to hold small cart. In other
tombs the chamber is approached by
passage formed of two rows of upright
stones, and rooted by large slabs; while
in third type this passage gradually
expands into the chamber, so that the
whole resembles in outline stunlpy
hook bottle. In most cases the slabs
are neither chiseled nor sculptured.
Perhaps. sometimes, a little rude trim
ming has been attempted, or a boulder
has been split. But in a few instances
carvings exist. These often are very
bridesmaid holes, like little cups or in
cised spirals-but occasionally they are
more elaborate-at New Grange, in Ire
land, and Gavr Inis, an island In the
Morbihan, in Brittany. In fact, no
part of Europe is 80 rich in ancient
stone monuments as the neighborhood
of Carnac and Lokmariaker, In the
southern part Of that country. There is
one other variety of these stone sepul-
chres-the rarest, and perhaps one of
the latest, of the group--in which the
roof is something like beehive in
shape, being formed Of slabs, each
projecting a little beyond that beneath,
until the top is closed by single stone.
This ancient form of roofing Is found
in few sepulchral chambers. notably
at New Grange, and at the famous
Macs How, not far from Kirkwall, in
Orkney, in a district particularly rich In
prehistoric remains. These chambers,
if Of any size, appear to have been COW
cred by a ca.irn, which in some cases Is
very large. But In Scotland, though
the Kist Vaen is common, and few
examples have been found of the "bee-
hive" chamber, the larger Dolmens,
with or without a passage approach, ar
rare. Yet they are common enough in
ireland, England western France, and,

os well as on the southern side Of the
Mediterranean. Chambered cairns,
however, do not occur north of the
Tweed, and more especially, as DR.. R.
Munro tells us in his book on "Prehis-
toric Scotland in the counties of Ar
gyll, Inverness, Sutherland and Cath
ness and the Orkney Islands. Here, as
in other countries, they illustrate pro-
gressive advance in structural details,
as If their builders had remained long
in the land. Moreover, their contents
prove that both cremation and inhuma-
ton were from the first customary.
Probably the latter really preceded the
former in time; 1t is the easier and SIM !
pier kind of entombment; but certainly |
cremation is far more ancient than |
classis times, though generally reserved |
for the rich.--London Standard.

when the Bi-centennial project was first
launched, resulted in securing approxi-
mately four hundred thousand dollars.
Of this amount, two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars was used for the pur-
chase Of the real estate on which the
builds are to rest, leaving on hand one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
The main canvass for funds is just be-
ginning now, so that there is nothing
more of Importance in the way of news
on the financial side as this paper goes
to press. The president, in his speech,
emphasized the fact that the buildings
would not be up at the cost of funds
necessary for the covering of the main
work of the university; that it rested
with Yale men whether they should be
put UP or not. He intlmated, by refer
ring to what Princeton university did
at her one hundred and fiftieth anniver-
sary, that he did not doubt that the
alumni and friends Of Yale would see to
it that there was money, not only for
these buildings, but for the other pro-
jects of instruction and university de-
velopment which demanded the imme-
date attention of those upon whose
shoulders rests the responsibility for
equipping Yale in her work in the COM
ing century.
The chairman of the building COM
mittee is Mr.. w. w. Farnam, Yale 66,
the former treasurer Of the university.
The other members from the corpora
ton are: Mr.. III. f. Dlmock, Yale '63,
Mr.. George c. Holt, Yale '66, and the
president and treasurer, ex-off1ciis.

THE BRITISH AND THEIR MULES

Uneducated American Mules in South
Africa Sure to Make Trouble for
Their Masters.
The fact that the loss of two crack
British regiments and a battery of artil-
lery at Ladysmith was directly attrbut-
able to the stampede of the ammunition
pack mulee strongly emphasizes a re-
mark that has been made repeatedly
during the past few weeks by the stock
men of this city 1.-THE English officers
ARE shipping some first-rate mules to
South Africa" has been the general
comment among experts, but they'll be
of no use for packing until they are
thoroughly trained"
The Importance of a first-cass pack
are now undertaking in the Transvaal
can hardly be overestimated. 1t is i'm
possible to use wagons to any extent
over the trackless veldt and the army
must depend on its mules to carry its
provisions, its ammunition, its machine
guns, it's light artillery and the major
part of its camp equipment. Without
it's pack train regiment would be in
very much the position of a man who
had match but no cigar.
In order to pack" properly mule re-
quires a special education, and therein
lies the source of no end of prospective
trouble in the Transvaal. Up to date

He says that in examining hundreds of
specimens alleged to have been tenn
pered to the degree that steel is tenn
pered, he failed to find any nor had he
dis covered any one who had seen such
work. and the fable which has been i'm
plicitly believed for centuries is being
shattered in the light of modern re-
search. This Is not the only story be-
lieved for centuries tending to belittle
the man Of to-day, to make him the in
ferior Of his forefathers, which failed
under the searchlight of inquiry and
eoience. The anoients were children in
mechanical knowledge as compared to
the people Of to-day, and If there was

A Case at Hand.

"In many cases OF supposed heart
disease" said the professor to the
class of medical students, "the suf-
ferer exhibits symptoms sufficient to
alarm those who are accustomed to
the true disorder"
The student at the foot Of the class
twisted around uneasily.
''It has been said by one," con-
tinued the professor, "who has given
his life to the study Of diseases of the
heart, that a sufferer from heart dis
ease is rarely cognizant Of the fact;
statement which is true, if we except
those acute attacks, which, of course,
point out their own diagnosis.
Chronic disorders are almost iEvari-
ably insiduous IN their workings, or
at any rate give no symptoms which
point the patient directly to the seat
of the trouble"
The same student got up but sat
down again.
"There is disorder of the heart,
however," the professor proceeded,
(which is marked by every symptom
of distress of that organ, and which
is always confused with the graver
forms Of heart disease, but which if
properly and early treated ends in re-.
covery."
The same student looked out Of
the window suddenly.
Excuse me, professor, he said,
"but there she goes now, and by
thunder I'm going right to her and
propose to her fat. haven't slept a
wink for two nights"
And the professor smiled and went
on with his lecture, Detroit Free

Mr.. j. W. Wood said "Mr. Chapel

him in Northeast Washington. Mr..

BEcKHAor GOVERNOR.

Orders the Removal From ONCE of the

Frankfort, KY, Especial Exactly one
hour after the death of Mr. Goebel J. c. W.
Beckham was sworn in as governor Of the
state, the oath being administered by S. j..
Shackeliord, clerk Of the Court of Appeals.
It had been determined to keep secret the
news Of the death Of Mr.. Goebel until Mr..
Beckham should have been formally inducted
into office, and the delay was made greater
by the inability Of DR.. Mccormack to leave
the bedroom Of Mr.. Goebel and make the
proper certificate Of death Until this had
been done the Democratic attorneys were
unwilling that the oath Of Office should be
administered.
The ceremony took place in a small room
on the same floor as that in which Mr.. Goe-
bel died, but a few doors to the west OF it.
