CLIFF JEWELLERS.
DR.. Russell, of Harvard. Says rhoy Did Not
Como From Asia,

Como From Asia.
DIR. Frank Russell, who is In charge
of the chair Of anthropology at Har-
ward, was interviewed by reporter
on his arrival In Denver to attend the
meetings of the Association for the
Advancement of Science, and an
nounced that he has discovered re-
Gently in Arizona and southwestern
Colorado 15O ruins of the cliff dwellers
which had not been previously trodden
by the feet of modern Investigators.
He says he located them In almost in
accessible places, which required un-
usual efforts of brain and physical en-
durance. To reach one OF the most
valuable it was necessary to lower his
wife and wagon down the side of n
precipice for $50 feet by means of
block and tackle, and slide the mules
down the side of the mountain.
DIR. Russell travelled 200 miles by
wagon and 800 miles horseback, max
Ing headquarters at Tucson, since last
March. The trip was conceived for
the purpose Of making thorough
reconnaissance of the entire South
west for the bureau of ethnology of the
United States government. 1t includ-
cd the pueblo mounds of Arizona and
southeastern Utah and the dwellings
OF San Juan county. In this state. He
reports that some OF the newly discov-
cred ruins are of Importance, while
many are too small and valueless to re-
pay further Investigation. One of the
results of the Investigations is DR..
Russell's conclusion that the theory Of
the cliff dwellers having originally
come upon North American soil via
Behring straits from Asia is erroneous.
DIR. Russell believes that the cliff
dwellers were natives, and that the
progress OF their evolution was from
the south to the north, and that they
were separate tribes with constant
tendencies toward civilization instead
of rctrogression, similar to the evolu.
ton of the Algonquin and other east.
ern Indian tribes.
There Is nothing whatever" said
Dr. Russell, ION which to base the the.
ory that any OF the cliff dwellers had
an Asiatic origin. They had no Asiat-
ic customs. That idea is revival of

Where Artificial Limbs Are Made

Where Artificial Limbs Are Made.
An artificial limb factory is rather
gruesome place. Appliances for every
variety of crippled leg or arm are there;
legs for hip, knee and ankle amputa-
ton, for deformities; arms, hands fin
gers, toes. In one room webbing and
leather are being made into supports
and straps to fasten around the shoulder
or waist, or, as is often done in wo-
mans case, to the corset. Socks to be
worn on the artificial feet are also
made in this room. Next door is the
wood shop, where willow and Eastwood,
carefully seasoned, are carved into the
contours of natural limbs, every leg and
arm being different in form, size and
character from all others, because each
is moulded after special model, to suit
the person who Is to wear it. Further
on, these wooden mOulds are covered
with tightly stretched rawhide which
gives lateral strength, and this rawhide
receives an enamel coating. In another
room rubber is being vulcanized and
moulded into feet and hands which are
covered with calfskin. The sponge rub
ber used is lighter than wood and abso-
lutely odOrless. It is covered with
waterproof enamel and no change Of
temperature less than 28O degrees can
effect it. In the last stage of the process
the leg or arm is set up, the parts put
together and the springs and straps ad-
justed-New York Sun.

To Raise Palm. From seeds.


To start palm seeds is an easy mat
ter. Place half a dozen seeds in g.
inch pot, covering them so they will be
about two inches below the surface.
They should then be well watered, and
the soil should be kept fairly moist con-
tinually until the little seedlings push
their way up. The soil should never
be allowed to dry out, nor should it be
kept soggy. Another good plan 1t to
place all the seeds in box of moist sand
and examine them every few days. Those
that burst and begin to sprout may be
planted in fiat boxes two or three inches
apart. in good, rich sandy soil, or they
may be potted, if well started, in small
pots. 1t should be born in mind that

are usually entirely different in form
from the true, or character, leaves which
come later. In the embryo leaves the

was able to obtain al interview with
him. When first arrested, the man,
whose name, ,by the way is Reilly, was
incapable of making connected state
ment; the lawyer assigned to defend
him laughed in his face when he heard
his story. and advised him to leave
the romancing to trained lawyer as
his only chance of escaping the electric
chair. Naturally, under the circum-
stances, the poor fellow hesitated to
unbosom himself to a stranger. But
finally managed to gain his confidence
by showing him that l believed his
story, and that was trying to find
the men whose scapegoat he now is. 1t
seems that yesterday afternoon, at
about three o'clock, he was stationed

square, where he was accosted by
man, answering Chatham's description,
who engaged him to drive him to the
Fulton street ferry. On reaching the
ferry, the man ordered Reilly TO pro-
ceed to low grogshop on South street.
Here he entered, returning in q few
minutes to invite the cabman to take
themselves at table upon which a
bottle and two filled glasses were al
ready placed. Chatham handed one of
these glasses to Reilly, who drank 1t
and probably many more. At any
events, he remembers nothing further
until he was rudely shaken by Chat
ham, who led him out into the street.
Here the cold air revived him, and he
remembers noticing several things to
which he did not pay much attention
at the time, but which seem significant
now as he recalls them:
''Firstly-It was now quite dark.

cous lining of the Eustachian Tube When
this tube gets inflamed you have rumbling
