A Rare Bird Stone.

Excavations for the foundations of a
new steel bridge on the Chicago and
Alton road across the Vermilion river
at Streator, ILL.,, have unearthed Il mag
nificent specimen of bird stone, says
the Chicago Evening Post. 1t is ~
inches long and half an inch wide. 1t
is an imitation of bird. A bird stone
while Of the underlined class Of prehis-
toric ornaments or charms which have
been called ''ceremonials," represents
stone age art of no mean degree. This
specimen is finely finished and polished
and is extra ordinary in it's workman
ship. 1t represents perhaps the highest
achievement Of prehistoric American
art. This bird stone unearthed at
Streator must have been hammered or
pecked into shape and afterward
ground to it's present form and then
polished diligently, for it is nearly as
smooth as glass.

locate the heater, then sat down right
on top of it and buried himself deep in
his coat collar, as If he feared chill

sheer seventy feet from the ocean.
Forty feet above tidewater and thirty
feet from the top Of the cliff one end

the natives made an excavation in the

spot consist Of bailer for boat, a
