In the last eight or ten years | have
talked weather with 10000 clever fell
lows. and the unanimous verdict is that
the seasons are changing. that Christ

that winter fingers scandalously long
in the lap of spring; that we have no
cold weather until January; and no
autumn until December; that billiards
come in April which used to come in
February; that roses which used to
bloom in May now bud in June; that
navigation in the Hudson closes later
every year; that sleighing that used
to be excellent in November is now
poor in December and January: that

Expedition Organizing TO Explore Sup.
posed t'elic Of the Stone Age.
A remarkable discovery has been
made on the shores of Prince William
Sound. While a prospector named
Leeds was out with party OF natives
looking for mineral he came to the
entrance of large cave almost con-
ccaled from view.
Leeds entered the cavern and was
astonished to find there fourteen
wooden canoes. each containing
mummfied corpse Stone implements
were found beside the bodies and
stone slabs covered the canoes, ev-
erything indicating that the bodies
had been placed there during the
stone age.
The find was as big a mystery to
the natives as to the white man. Their
tribe has been on the shores of Prince
William Sound from a period so re-
mote that their traditions do not run
back to the time of its advent there.
yet they have had no knowledge of
the cave or of the character of people
who are Inferred there. Nor do the
present natives use stone implements.
Leeds did not disturb the bodies,
but carefully marked the site of the
cave and after prospecting returned
to VALDEZ. An expedition is being or
ganized. headed by Capt. Story of the
Alaska Packers Association. to make
a thorough exploration of the cavern
and the remains chat repose therein.
