SECURES FINE RELICS
American Museum of Natural HI
tory Adds to Its Exhibit.
Excavations ON Long Island Bring to
Light Many Interesting and
Valuable Rsmiadess of
Prehistoric Days.

When the many relics of prehistoric
days which have recently been un-
earthed at Weir Creek Point, near
Throgs Neck, are exhibited in the Amer
ican Museum of Natural History, that
institution will have come into posses
sion of an archaeological collection of
great scientific value.
Raymond Harrington. who is in
charge of the museums local field work,
has met with unexpected success in his
latest Investigations at Weir Creek
Point. between Fort Slocum and City
Island. Skeletons, argillite, imple-
ments OF antique shape. stone cooking
utensils, pottery beads and pipes have
been found in shell heaps since Sep
tember is. the pieces OF broken pot
terry and stone implements discovered
at the bottom of the excavations being
much more crude than those near the
surface. This difference, Mr.. Harring-
ton says, tells Of the progress made in
the handicraft In hundreds of years.
All of the relics come from period Of
distant antiquity.
Twenty skeletons, which have already
arrived at the museum, were found al
Port Washington. on Long Island,
where excavations were before the sci
entists began to dig at Weir Creek
Point. They were found In pits about
four feet deep, which had been filled
with dirt, shells and broken pottery.
The skeleton OF dog was found under
the skeleton of an adult in one grave.
A stone arrow point between the ribs
tells how the canine died. There were
fractures in the skulls Of two skele-
tons, probably warriors, found in a
single grave, and the bones OF three
children were unearthed together.
Mr.. Harrington's most important dis
coveries at Weir Creek Point have been
soapstone cooking utensils. rolled
copper head, telling OF probable contact
with Lake Superior Indians, argillite
implements, arrow points, stone knives
bone implements and split bones. A
stone ahl, used In n bow drill In the
manufacture OF wampum, is regarded
as valuable find.
Mr.. Harrington expects to find sleele-
tons near the borders OF the Weir
Creek Point shell heap. He believes
the Indians Of that village had more
respect for their dead than 10 bury
them in the piles OF refuse which the
shell heaps ultimately became.

Killed Two Couaars.

Sidney and Melvin Andrews. while on
hunting trip recently on the divide
between Evans and Pleasant creeks had
the good fortune to bag some big game,
namely, two cougars who rashly in.
truded themselves on the observation of
the boys. The animals appeared in a
small opening in the timber about 40 or
90 feet from Sidney, who Immediately
and without ceremony shot one OF them
in the head, hitting the mark with the
utmost precision and accuracy and kill
ing the animal Instantly. The other
was treed by the dogs and also secured.
The cougar is an animal that is be.
coming exceedingly rare in this country
and those that remain are very shy and
seldom allow themselves to be seen
