WHIRL OF THE WORLD


 An Indian burial place Of dh inter- esting character has been discoverea near Braddock. in Allegheny county. Pa. The foreman of q gang of work men first made the discovery of seven skeletons in bed of sand not far from the bank of the Monongahela river. The skeletons were surrounded by mus sel shells in such a manner as to indi- cate that the bodies had been covered by the shells when they were buried. When the bones were taken out some jade arrow points were found with them. The bones were in such con dition that they crumbled readily when handled, and only small portions were so hard that they could be carried away as relics. Many persons living in the searched for relics. Many arrow points were found. with some larger stone i'm plements which may have been toma- hawks or ctisels for the skinning of animals. These Indian skinners which are quite common, are often taken for tomahawks by the uninitiated. Stone tomahawks made by the Indians arc very rare.
