of the burial, places, extending well down

that at one time the race VIII CHI practiced
this form of sepulture must have been

months of the past summer in uncover

these old bur.als. which had escaped
the serious attention of previous in

ancient tombs, which are, technically,
termed cairns.
"They are from six to twenty-five feet
in diameter and generally consist of an
irregular Pile of bou,ders. many of which
are of huge size, weighing several tons,

structures are usually situated on slopes
with gravelly soil, strewn with angular
boulders. They overlook, and in most

DAYS LABOR FOR DESTITUTE.
Rev. w. Il. MuInfOrd's Plan to Aid
Industrial Home.

Two years ago, Feb. %, Rev. W. E.
Mumford, opened the doors of Faith
Cottage" Georgia Industrial Home, five
miles north of Macon. The specific OBJ
ject of the Home is the salvation of the
neglected, abandoned and outcast chill
dren of destitute and disreputable white
parents. 1t Is non-sectarian and nom
sectional. 1t is now in possession of 200
acres of land. over 5000 have been ex-
pended in the purchase of the farm and
improvements thereon. There are now
six nice buildings besides the outbuildings
and barns.
The Home started with three children
on its opening day and has cared for
about 100 since that time, gh of whom
are now its happy and promi'ing inmates.
These chi dren are from over 70 ty coun-
ties in Georgia Every leading city in

Washington, Feb 22.-The region OF
British Columbia and Washington has for
some years been a favorite exploring
ground OF ethnologists. who are collecting
material about the Indians Of the region.
Owing to contact with the whites. the
native stock of Indians is fast disappear
ing, and with them their curious cere-
monies and customs. or the scientific in
vestigators who are making a study of
this region a number have noted there
heaps of rocks of varying size, for which
they could find no adequate explanation.
Some considered them to be freaks of
geological upheaval, while other believed
that the present Indian Inhabitants had
piled them up for some ceremonial pur-
pose. though the Indians deny any knowl-
edge of them. Last summer Prof. Harlan
l. Smith of the Jesup North Pacific Ex-
pedition tore epar a number of these
mounds, and the result is an Interesting
and valuable addition to American ethnol-
ogy.
Every mound explored by Professor
Smith was found to be tomb in which
had been buried an individual of a race
whose history is an entire blank; whose
very existence has hitherto been I'M
known to ethnologists. This style Of
burial is not known in the earliest re-
cords of any of the Northwestern coast
peoples. One of the unusual and puz-
zling features of the discovery is the
fact that the explorers have not been
able 20 Gull from the enduring stone
sepulchres a single definite fact as to
the identity of the race now vanished
from the face of the earth. No archi-
tectural remains or ruins were found
which might have been inhabited by
these people, and the Indians who to-
day inhabt that region have no tradi-
tons or legends regarding them. Pro-
fessor Smith believes that the race was
of a lower form of civilization than the
Cliff or Mound Builders, and that it
was beyond question extinct long be-
fore the advent of the whites.
The excavations began in the south
eastern part of Vancouver Island, B.
c., and in The San Juan group and Wild
hey Islands. State of Washington. A
whole series of the massive stone tombs
each containing a single skeleton, was

! any object in the graves, such as pottery
or implements of handicraft of any de-
scription, renders difficult the task OF
assigning an accurate date to the sx-
istence of the race. There is good rea"
son, however. for believing that In tho
tombs were buried the makers OF the
shell heaps nearby. These shell heaps
also contain skeletons, and in some cases
stone utensils and carved objects OF
rough workmanship. Why these utensils
should be found in the shell heap graves
and not In the stone tombs Is, and Is
likely to remain, mystery.
Aolue to the racial character OF these
people Is obtained from the shape OF
the skulls found in the graves. These give
evidence that the people practiced inc

graves the skeletons were found sunk
four feet and greatly decayed. In many
complete skeletons were secured. Some
of the skeletons were partly burned
but it was thought that the burning did
not take place in the grave
The greatest number of these tombs
were found on land belonging to the
Hudson Bay Company, about four miles
northeast of Victoria, near Cadboro Bay.
In this vicinity was evidently the capital
of the mysterious race of rock tomb
builders, for the graves here seemed 20
have reached the highest type of de-
velopment. The structures north and
south from this point appear to have
undergone notifications as the distance
increased. Those made of the largest
boulders and the most elaborate In con-
struction were found near Victoria. The
burials of Whldbey Island, in the State
of Washington, resemble those found at
Victoria more than do those at other
places One of the largest of these stone
mausoleums was found on San Juan
Island, southeast of Vancouver, and
north of the State of Washington. 1t

ing roof over the body. Over this vault
like opening the rough pile of the tomb
is reared. 1t is frequently bounded by
a single row Of large stones, while the
filling between this wall and the vault is
of small fragments, boulders, and in
some cases largely Of soil or mixtures
of these materials. Rectangular tombs
have been found where the outer row
CT rocks has been carried up so as to
form a retaingirg wall making the whole
structure similar to a truncated pyra-
mid. Structures were also found in
which the body was placed at the side
of a large boulder and covered with
smaller ones piled up against the large
rocks. The stones forming the interior
sepulchre and those of the outer row are
often imbedded deep in the soil around
the grave. 1t is probable that they were
not so placed in the beginning, but sank
to this position by reason of their large
size and great weight.
