ARIZONA sEPULCHREs.
A Remarkable Recent Discovery on

occasionally been taken from among
the ruins of the cliff-dweilings

The cliff homes in Northern New Mex

,-dozen mummies have been found dur.
ing all the extensive explorations oil TIE
Aztec ruins in the dry valleys of Arizona.
These few mummies-poor specimens OF
the mummifying art-are highly treasured
bv scientists, because they give the an

strange peoDle, who had the earliest civil

best archaeological explorers ana students
are vet ali at sea concerning knowledge
OF who the Aztec or Toltecs were, now
they looked and lived, and why they
came to be SO completely oblterated from
he face of the earth.
This ignorance is due largely to the fact
that no satisfactory remains of the dead
Aztecs nave been found. This ancient
people were cremationists, and they prob
ably burned household effects with the
dead. leaving almost nothing for the curl
Gus scientist of this age to patch into u
theory. Frequently nowadays digging

prehistoric communities In the valleys of
Arizona come across quantities of burned
bone-dust, carefully sealed in jars. Tire

The mummy, which two gold mine pros

some men ike - change their legs
often, to get a new one every year or two
and have two or three on hand, In case of
accident. I've known a man 10 be run
over by car and have nothing but his
artificial leg crushed. The fact that ne
mad another at home made him so pleas
GO with himself that he forgot TO be
wrathy about the accident. Then anoth
er man gets attached 10 a leg and wears
il twenty-five years, not because he
couldn't afford a new one but more as a
matter Of sentiment than anything else
An artificial limb factory Is rather a
grewsOme place. Appliances for every
variety Of crippled leg or arm are there;
legs for nip, knee and ankle amputatiJns,
for deformities. arms. hands. fingers, toes.
In one room webbing and leather are be-
ing made into supports and straps 70
fasten around the shoulder or waist, or.
as is often done IN woman's case, to
the corset. Socks to be worn on the ar
t{fcial feet are also made in this room.
Next door is the wood shop. where will
low and Eastwood, carefully seasoned,
are carved into the contours of natural
limbs, every leg and arm being different
i'm form, size and character from all
special model, 10 suit the person who is
10 wear it. Further on, these wooden
moulds are covered with tightly-stretched
rawhide, which gives lateral strength
and this rawhide receives an enamel coat
ing. IN another room rubber is being
vulcanzed and moulded into feet ana
hands which are covered with calfskn.
The sponge rubber used is lighter than
wood and absolutely odorless. 1t is COW
cred with waterproof enamel and no
change OF temperature less than 80 de-
gress can affect it, In the last stage Of
the process the leg or arm is set up,
the parts put together and the springs
and straps adjusted.
The weight OF an artificial leg varies
from one and a half to seven pounds.
small child may use a uncomfortable
pound leg, but an adult must have one
strong enough to resist all unavoidable
strain. For a light woman a leg weigh
ing three pounds may be used, but Lhat
is A marvel of mechanical construction.
The average man needs fiye-pound leg
and no lighter one may be trusted. IN
expected strains will occur. and 1t Is not
wise TO build leg close to the danger
line OF course, if the amputation mas
beer for only the foot or small part OF
the leg. the artificial leg may be lighter.
A leg too light may give one an I'M
natural walk The aim is to attain
maximum strength with minimum
weight.
American manufacturers are exporting
artificial limbs in large numbers, ana
from all parts Of the world orders TOT ar
tincial limbs come into the United states
When Count Okuma prime minister OF
Jap1n. lost his leg through bomb thrown
by an anarchist, he sent to New 1ol
for an artificial leg. The Russian Prince
Galitzin came all the way from St Peters
burg to New York to have an artihcial
leg fitted and made. The President OF
the United States of Colombia wears

Hidden Cemeteries
The CAsa Grande Indians in Southern
Arizona undoubtedly buried their dead
but so faithfully has the secret been kent
through succeeding generations that no
mint Of their cemeteries ever reaches the
ear of culfosity-hunters In the early day
II was thought that these Indians, who
claim direct relation with the Aztecs. were
in posse ssion of knowledge which would
lead to the finding of Aztec remains. and
with them quan titles Of precious Jewels
ard stones. MANY a weary mile has been
traVersed by pro spectors, and many tons
or rock loosenei in a vain search for
these buried treasures. Not a sestos ever
came to light These people valued the
simple product of the field, more than

ana New Mexico have more elaborate
funeral rites and ceremonies than any
other tribe of Indians on the North

Many of the Southwestern Indians had
no belief or knowledge of a hereafter
w men they fell iii battle or succumbed to
Clsesse, they lad reached the end. As n
consequence no extra amount of care
was taken with their remains. and m.
only reason for removing them at all

TITLED FOLK.

The duke and duchess of Manches-
ter occupied seats on the bench of the
Cincinnati police court recently and
witnessed the disposal of number OF
petty cases at short range.
In his 80 years of life the young
marquis of Queensberry, who recently
succeeded his father, has seen a good
deal of the world. He has served in the
militia, has been sailor, explorer and
mining expert, and the fortune he has
made unaided testifes to his ability as
a fnancier.
Lord Alverstone is not very we'll
known, but Sir Richard Webster is, and
both names belong to one person, the
present lord chief justice of England.
After being called to the bar he made
$1,000 in his first year and S., 900 in his
second year, and for many years be-
for his promotion to the bench he was
making 100000 per annum.
Princess Louise duchess of ArgylD,
who undertook to execute a statue of
the queen to be placed over the new
western porch Of Manchester cathe-

may be her gift and remembrance of
the time when the duke and her royal
highness were connected with Man

SCIENTIFIC INFORMATION.

The solar orb would appear blue to
anybody who should view it outside
of this planets atmosphere.
A distinguished astronomer asserts
that on the planet Uranus the sun
rises in the west and sets in the east.
The ornaments used by the Thomp-
son Indians of British Columbia are,
in the opinion of Dr. Boas, to be re-
garded as photographs, rather than as
decorations.
A scientist, after years of expert
menting, has succeeded in coloring
the plumage of birds by the admins
tration of food mixed with analine
dyes. In this way he has, it is stated,
produced red blue pigeons, and has
impaired to canaries all the tints OF
the rainbow.
