An ancient burial ground has been
discovered on the ranch Of Lu1iana
Q%uintana, near Mesa Rico. in New
Mexico. about 200 miles southeast Of
Las Vegas. Two stones were first
found that bore curious Inscriptions.
and beneath these were found in shall
low excavations the bones Of a frame
that could not have been less than
twelve feet in length. The men who
opened the grave say the forearm was
four feet long and that in a well-pre-
served jaw the lower teeth ranged
from tie size of a hickory nut to that
Of the largest walnut in size. The
chest of the being is reported as hav-
ing a circumference Of seven feet.
Q%uintana, who has uncovered many
other burial places, expresses the opin-
ion that perhaps thousands Of skele-
tons OF a race Of giants long extinct
will be found. The suppositlon is
based on the traditions handed down
from the early Spanish invasion that
have detailed knowledge Of the exist
ence Of a race of giants that inhabited
the plains Of what now is Eastern New
Mexico. Indian legends and carvings
also in the same section Indicate the
existence OF such a race.

Unusual Form OF Music Introduced in

j. T.. LOckart, superintendent Of the
Berean Baptist Sunday school of
Augusta. Ca, is responsible for a new
departure in church music, and
through his efforts the innovation has
been eminently successful.
Mr.. LOckhart obtained his idea from
The B%urgomaster, which recently
appeared in Augusta. He heard THE
rale Of the Kangaroo" whistled, and
when the audience Joined in the che
rus the effect struck him as being so
unique that he at once decided to put
It in use in his choir. Mr.. Lockhart
talked the matter over with the. Rev.
]. H. oliver, pastor Of the church, and
It was decided to try the plan the fol-
owing Sunday. The Sunday school
numbers 3O1 members. On the Sum
day when Mr.. Lockhart had planned
to introduce whistling music the ex-
srcises were opened by a short talk on
the sa~credness of all melody and har-
mony and Of the praise that could be
rendered to God in every form of mu-
sic. Mr.. Lockhart then told the pu-
pills that they were going to try a new
form of music. He said that, as a
great many Of the young men who had
really good voices would not sing be-
cause they had never been trained in
music, he had decided to form a
whistling choir.
The superintendent had no difficulty
In inducing the boys and young men
10 come forward and whistle.
