GLASS MOUNTAIN.
Remains of Prehistoric People Found
Near an Extinct Volcano tn an
Unknown Region.

A party of archaeologists and arti-
quarians have made important discoy-
cries in the hitherto unexplored region
at the northern limit Of the Earqaa
Hala range of mountains in Arizona.
A great desert and the total absence of
water have prevented any previous ex-
animation, and only the Indians know
of the curiosities of these mountains,
says the New York Sun.
One side of one mountain rises in ter
races, and presents many features re-
calling the Grand canyon Of he Col
orado. The whole mass is of obsidian.
or volcanic glass, and glitters in colors
of green, blue and black. 1t may be
seen Oh clear mornings at great dis
tances and the glitter Of the noun
tain has lured many travellers in its di-
rection.
The exploring party found under
high shelving rock narrow neeked
ola, or earthenware jar, bottom side
up, containing human bones, Il broken
hammer and metate, or stone en-
ployed by the prehistoric races of Ari-
IONA probably for the same purposes
as a similar utensil is used by the
aborigines of to-day for grinding
maize. Slabs, turquoise stones and
other curiosities were revealed by Dig
ging, and there were marks on buried
rocks which were supposed to be in-
scriptions. A careful study of the GU
riosities was not made. but another
party will be organized for the pur-
pose of unearthing all available relics
in the mountain and to study them.
The mountain of glass is a Tgarvel of
volcanic upheaval. It is pretty much
as the last eruption left it, except that
where fractures have occurred the
varied and beautiful colors of the vol
canic glass are brilliantly reflected.
The mountain is dangerous ard diff
cult of ascent, owing to the precipitous
terraces and the ice-like smoothness
OF the surface.

MUSICAL TASTE OF MONKEYS.
According to This Authority 1t Runs
90 the Bagpipes of Which They
Are Very Fond.

Now that Prof Garner is instruct
ing us in the language of monkeys, it
becomes a matter of family interest,
as it were, to note any pecularitics
of development in the animals from
which the evolutionists mainta.n that
the human race descended or, more
properly speaking, assembled. 1t may
be classed with the study of geneal-
ogy. The author of Studies in Cor
sica" touches on monkey music in
speaking of the bagpipe.
''The weIl-known boast of patriotic
Scotchmen that the bagpipe is sacred
to Scotland, and speaking a language
which only Scotchmen feel, is as
slight in foundation as it is dubious
in import. In Syria, in Persia, in
Af@harss an and India, in fact,
throughout the south of both Europe
and Asia, the bagpipe is known and
is enthus stically cultivated,
''In India, if I may believe some sol
der friends, the pipes attached to the
Highland regiments are far more
enjoyed by the native population than
the best brass bands of other bat
talions.
NAY, so much akin to our original
nature is the dulcet music of the
simple bagpipe that it is the one sort
of music which stirs the monkeys
For, according to the testimony of
the same officers, the Indian mon
keys, although unmoved by bands,
are so powerfully fascinated by the
Scottish pibroch that when a detach-
ment of Highlanders is marching to
the pipes. and when the roadway ira
versed is lined with trees, the mon
keys will follow the troops with signs
of delight, scrambling after them
from tree to tree. From facts such
as these one cannot doubt that the
bagpipe is one of our Oldest instru-
ments."
