A party of psychologists and anti
quarians have made important discov-
cries in the hitherto unexplored region
at the northern limit of the Harqua
Hala range of mountains in Arizona.
A great desert and the total absence
Of water have prevented any previous
examination, and only the Indians
know Of the |curiosities Of these noun
tains, One side of one mountain rises
in terraces and presents many features
recalling the Grand canyon of the Col
orado. The whole mass is Of obsidian.
or volcanic glass, and glitters in col
ors of green, blue and black. 1t may
be seen on clear mornings at great
distances and the glitter of the noun
tain has lured many travellers in its di-
rection. 1t Is pretty much as the last
eruption left it except that where frac-
lures have occurred the varied and
beautiful colors of the volcanic glass
are brilliantly reflected. The noun
tain is dangerous and difficult of as
cent, owing to the p%recipitous terraces
and the ice-like smoothness of the sur
face. The exploring party found under
a high shelving rock a narrow necked
ola, or earthenware jar, bottom side
up, containing human bones, a broken
hammer, and a metate, or stone, en-
ployed by the prehistoric races Of Art
zona probably for the same purposes
as a similar utensil is used by the aDor-
igines of today, for grinding maize.
Slabs, turquoise stones and other curl
osities were revealed by digging, and
there were marks on burial rocks,
which were supposed to be inscrip-
tions.-Chieago Journal.

AMONG ANCIENT PERUvrANs.
The Early Tribes TrephIned skulls with
Stone Instruments.

The Early Tribes Trephined skulls with
Stone instruments.
Prof. w. J. MCGEE of the bureau of
~ethnology, in Washington, has received
official permission to exhibit at the
Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo
his studies OF trephining among the
early Peruvians. He will show ancient
skulls trephined by stone implements,
and in connection with this, some ami
NAL skulls, showing experimental work
done under Prof. McGee's direction,
using the same flint implements which
the aborigines were forced to employ.
1t is doubtful whether the ancient OPP
e~rations were performed for a distinct
ly surgical purpose or whether the OPP
Grafton was of some mystic signihc-
ance. In some cases the freshness OF
the wounds in the bone showed that
the patient did not long survive the
operation, and in one or two instances
it is plain that the ancient operator
must have cut down upon a large blood
vessel, causing almost instantaneous
death, but IN other cases the operation
was more successful and the patient
must have survived for some years at
least. Prof. w. H. Holmes, of the Ma
tional Museum, will exhibit a dozen
groups of models representing the do
nestle life of the aborigines of both
North and South America, and will
show also the houses in which they
lived and some of the garments and
implements of their daily life. This
exhibit, although under the auspices Of
the National Museum, has been planned
to supplement the regular ~ethnologic
and a~rchaeologic exhibit Of the EXPOSE
ton.

Everything is show, show, show. In
1903 st. Louis will celebrate the Louisi-
ana purchase, an affair Of some note
in the days Of Thomas Jefferson, in
volving disposition of 1,171,931 square
miles of virgin territory. The tract
reached from the Mississippi river to
the Rocky Mountains, from the Gulf
of Mexico to British America, and
was about twenty-four times as large
as the state of New York. The price
paid was $751; OO, 900, the cost of two
or three big Office buildings in this
city at the present day. Now, the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition already
has in its treasury more money to
begin the show with in 1908 than our
government paid in 1903 for nearly
the entire west, a princely domain Of
75O,O35, $40 acres. The municipality Of
st. Louis has given IS, 1000, 900, the fed
eral government $5,O 0O,O 900 and the
people of Missouri by voluntary sub

plotures g Armiss. PAINTERS.

That success in art is not the mo-
nopoly of such as are lowered with
the normal number of limbs is con-
clusively proved by the skill of Mile.
Rapin, a Swiss artist, who, though
without arms. has made a name for
herself with her portraits and bias re-
liefs, and OF the Belgian painter, re-
Gently deceased, whom many of us
have doubtless seen at work in the
Antwerp picture gallery copying the
works of the old masters there on
view. Other, armless artists, too. have
acquired fame, among whom may be
mentioned the celebrated Miss Bitten,
who earned a living as a miniature
painter. Originally on exhibition at
Bartholomew Fair, she was seen by the
Earl Of Morton, who took her under
his patronage and paid for her artistic
education. She was a favorite of
George ". and William ", the latter
of whom allowed her a small pension.
Turning to earlier armless celebrities,
mention must be made of John Vale
RUS, born In Germany in 1867. who
was capable Of performing many sur
prising feats. He could shave himself,
play on the drum, fence with much
skill, and, IN short, use his toes with
as much adroitness as most men can
their hands. He possessed, however, a
modern rival in the person Of Herr
Unthan, whom many will remember as
exhibiting himself a few years ago in
London, where he. surprised large au-
diences with his marvellous feats. Mat
thew Buckinger, who was born in
Nuremberg seven years later than Va
lerius, was but a mere trunk, possess
ing neither arms nor legs. Despite his
natural Disadvantages, however, he is
said to have been an excellent per-
former on the flute. bagpipe and trum-
pet, while bis sketches landscape, fig
ures and coats OF arms-which were
executed with a pen. were equal to the
most finished engra wings. His cslig-
raphy. Of which examples are still ex-
tant, would have done credit TO the
most expert writing master and, in
deed, he was able to make no incon-
siderable Income by the sale Of these
specimens Of his skill. He figured,
likewise, in the not very invidious role
of w~ife-beater, for on one occasion
when one of his wives-he was mar
ried four times-insulted him he
sprang upon her, got ner down. and

buffeted her so severely with his
stumps that she was glad to escape
further chastisement by promising
amendment in the future-a promise
that she faithfully kept. Equally mar
velous were the feats Of william
Kingston. who at the commencement
Of the present century resided at Dit
cheat, near Bristol, where he cultivated
a small farm. He could, without other
aid than that of his toes, saddle and
bride his horse, milk his own COWS,
cut his own hay. bind up in bundles
and carry it to his cattle.

Today, to the diamond dealer, a
stone purchased twenty years ago is in
appearance as old-fashioned as a suit
of clothes Of that period is to tho
tailor. Instead Of being cut oval or
cushion shape. as diamonds were then,
stones today are cut round, thus In
creasing the number of surfaces. It
used to be the style to have a large
table, as the upper surface of a dia-
mond is called. and to obtain this a
stone was cut in the form Of a cushion.
This style was changed not many years
g upon the discovery that by cut
ting a stone round and increasing the
number Of bevels It's briliiancy was
greatly increased.-The Empire.

An extraordinary species of rabbit
has been found high up on Mount Po-
pocatepetl. Mexico, at and above an
altitude of 5000 meters approximate
ly 10000 feet). NThis singular animal
has exceedingly short hind legs, and.
instead of moving by.a series of leaps
like ordinary rabbits, runs along on ell
tours and lives in runways in the grass
like the meadow mice. p, w. Nelson,
who discovered this new species in the
worA of mammals, says: "On my first
VisTe to Mount ~Popocatepetl 1 learned
that these little rabbits were found
there, and on my return to the city
of Mexico I prepared for an expedition
to secure them. On Jan. 5, 1894. my
assistant, E. A. Goldman and l made
our camp on the side of a n y at
an altitude Of about $500 meters ILL.,
900 feet), on the northwest slope of the
mountain. We were accompanied by
three Indian hunters and our packer.
Among the frs and alders at this. al
titude the northerly slopes of the hills
and canyons are covered with a luxuri-
ant growth of succaton grass in huge
punches, from three to six feet across,
and often reaching a height Of six or
eight feet. II was evident hat the
rabbits were very numerous here, and
we all proceeded to hunt the Vicinity
carefully for them. Upon the first day
of this sort Of work l saw three. but
was unable to get a Shot at them. One
came running through the grass along
one of the hidden trails, and, seeing
me, stopped in a little opening only
seven or eight feet away. 1t was too
near to shoot. and so it escaped after
looking at me with inquiring eyes
for a few moments, The following
evening I shot one, and thereafter sew
eral."
Prof. Miller, assistant chief of the
department Of mammals at the Smith
sonian institution, in commenting on
the discovery, said:
This is the most extraordinary va
riety of rabbit that has ever come I'M
der my notice. It is very small, and,
in fact, resembles in some respects a
rat, notably in its method of going

TIE Exciting Race Between Kean and
tho stage Hand.
Some strange tales have been told by
old-timers in the stage business about
the Keans, both the elder and the last
to be seen on the American stage.
Some have said that hard study made
them a little wrong at times, and some
Of the things they did certainly looked
queer. 1t is told by an old New Or
leans horseman. who is here from the
Crescent City, that when Kean, the
younger, was playing there, he nearly
scared a super to death and came near
"pinking" him. 1t was in Richard
1II.H in the scene where ne sees the
ghosts. The stage manager was a lit
tie bit the worse for drink and deter
mined to have some fun. He did not
like Kean, as. he was a hard man be-
hind the scenes. Among the supers
wal a raw Irish lad who had never
seen a stage before. The manager told
this fellow that If he would run acros
the stage when he gave him the tip
he would stand to earn 50. The poor
fellow was broke, and a two-spot
looked to him like a national bank.
He agreed and the stage manager gave
him a gaudy oilcloth banner bearing
these words: Smoke General Jackson
Cigars" 1t was nearly a panic that
this Irish lad started. He ran across
the stage, and when Kean saw him he
was furious. He made a lunge at the
unfortunate super with his sword, and
as the rag" came whizzing down to a
hurry call he chased the poor standard
bearer off the stage, down the passage
and to the street. For two blocks he
followed him in his Richard costume,
and finally the super escaped down a
dark alley. What effect it had upon
the show the turfman does not say, bat
certainly it was only the super's agil-
ity of foot that saved him.-Cincinnati

Rats Ate DE- Her rortnns.

Mrs. Martha Williamfeither of Tip
ton county, Indiana. 6S years old, after
many years of toll on an old-fashioned
carpet loom and at the washtub, ac-
cumulated between $500 and 5000 in
currency. During her years of saving
she had little faith in banking insti-
buttons. She secreted her hard-earned
treasure in a smokehouse adjoining
her home. The money was placed in a
small wooden box. Mrs. Williamfeither
went to the smokehouse to deposit
more money in her little bank, and
when she looked into the box she
found the money gone. Soon after her
attention was attracted to a house-cat
by its mewing. The feline carried a
full-grown rat in its mouth. and a
piece of a $40 bill was p~rotruding from
the stomach of the mutilated rodent.
This gave Mrs. Williamfeither a clew
to the thieves. She searched for the
den of the rodents and there found
all her money excepting $50 or $50.
Several of the bills were mutilated,
and will be sent to the government for
redemption. The house-cat is to be
rewarded with a. gold dollar for its
shrewd detective work.

College OF Embalming incorporated.
A pro forma decree of incorporation
was granted to the Missouri College
Of Embalming yesterday by Judge
Hough. The institution will engage
in teaching the art of embalming. H.
Chouteau Dyer, amicuscuriae, who ex-
amined the petition for Incorporation,
in his report, after saying that the OBJ
.jects Of the corporation were to be
commended, says: THE art OF the
Egyptians, though now lost to us In
the preservation of their dead, has told
to us their history; it has revealed to
us much Of their habits, customs and
laws; in truth, 1t is that art, the art
of embalming their dead, that has
given us an insight into the many
other arts of that wonderful people. l
might add that since the development
of our colonial system and the cou-
current necessity for the exercise of
our arms in foreign chimes, the art of
embalming the dead has been sttmu-
lated. The soldier is brought home 70
rest, and the preservation Of his body
during the long journey is a small bur
dear comfort to his family and
friends. st. Louis Globe-Democrat

London's neglected Opportunity.

toned little boats running every half.
hour, and quite unpunctual at that,
have been the L~ondoner's lot for years
past, and because tho service did not
pay, as well it might not, it has been
entirely discontinued since last sum
mer So that a fine thoroughfare which
If properly utilized would at least go
some way toward solving, the problem
OF London's congested street traftc, lies
neglected and unusued. To remedy
this state of things the London county
framed and lately brought be-
fore the house Of commons a bill em-
powering them to build and run on the
Thames passenger steamers of their
own. This bill, however. has been
thrown out, certain vested interests
being wholly opposed TO it, and Lon
don is left pretty much where It was.
