Western Amusements In the Summer
Palace at Picking.
Commenting on the recent dancing in
the palace at Picking. the China Times
says: 1t was a matter of great sur
prise to many to learn that the grand
old dowager had taken Il real interest
in western music and that princesses
were lancerinE in way calculated to
upset the traditions of the Summer pal
ace. 1t appears that reform in China
can be best introduced through western
pleasures and nmuSementS. TientSin
has selected the humble medium of the
merry so round with horse power mu-
sic, while Picking in its pride of place
called upon the services of Sir Robert
Harris famous band. ADJUSTMENTS are
far more insidious than study, and it is
the first aim of every teacher to inter
est first and instruct afterward.
China is in the kindergarten stage of
western learning. She must be amused
TO be taught. Don't hurry her; don't
cram her. Let her learn the alphabet of
reform I'm a pleasant manner. Instead
of sending to China strong bands OF
foreign military, send strong military
bands. with Dan Godfrey TO lead them.
The high appreciation of Sir Roberts
band by the imperial party opens up
very alarming prospect to ofticialdom.
For the empress to express such de-
light in western music is equivalent TO
ordering the officials in the capital to
encourage such music. There can be no
other prospect than every Picking Off
cial blowing his own trumpet with va
riations. 4 wave of music will pass
over Picking, and every household will
have an additional Tyre. There is one
great danger to be guarded against.
They must not learn the eXtortionate
powers Of the waits"

LIGHT ON MOUND BUILDERS
New Evidence of Their Knowledge
of Farming and Domestic Arts.


of Farming and Domestic Arts.
w. C. Mills, curator of the museum
of the Ohio State Archaeological and
Historical society, has made a discOv-
cry in Ross county, a few miles south
of Chillicothe, which, he believes, will
have an important bearing upon the
final estimate of the attachments of
the mound builders. He and party
of Ohio State university students have
unearthed a prehistoric village on an
elevation near the Scioto river whose
inhabitants left signs that they knew
something of agriculture and the do
nestle arts, says the Columbus (O9 cor
respondent of the New York Post
Thus far forty nine pits on the site
have been eXcavated. In several of
them, among heaps of parched corn
and beans, evidence was found that
the mound builders did not subsist en-
tirely on fish and game, as has been
thought hitherto by many arch9olo-
gists. The pits contain also rude weav-
ing instruments, needles, bObbins and
other household implements. some made
of flint, others of bone. Broken pot
terry of various shapes was found, as
also necklaces of shells, polished bea-
yer teeth, carved bones of curious
shapes, tobacco pipes, stone axes, avis
and beads.
Not all the pits were used as store
houses or dwelling places. In one of
them We're found several skeletons.
One narrow grave was occupied by two
aged lovers clasped in each others
arms. Their extreme age is shown by
the fact that, while the bones are re-
markably we'll preserved. the woman's
skull contains only one tooth, very
much worn, while the mans has none
at all.
Another pit bears traces of feast to
which Mr.. Mills believes 1900 people
sat down. y hole in the center of the
apartment four feet In diameter and
ten feet deep tells the story of how the
mound builders cooked their food. The
clay soil. from the bottom to the top
of the excavation, was burned to deep
red, while 400 stones heaped up in the
center of the hole show signs of hav-
ing once been fired to n red heat. Mus
sells from the river supplied the first
course, and more than 10000 shells
show either that the diners We're very
numerous or that their appetitcs We're
exceptionally keen. Bits of deer bone,
neatly chopped to five inch lengths.
prove to Mr. Mills that the venIson was
well stewed befsre II was eaten. some
Of the corn, beans and hickory nuts
provided for the feast remain still in
the cave, and, quite after the manner
of modern dining room decorations, the
place was adorned with the heads of
bears, two of which are intact today.

ANIMAL SWIMMERS.
The Squirrel Is Very Swift and the
Rabbit Is oddly Awkward.

The Squirrel Is Very Swift and the
Rabbit Is oddly Awkward.
Almost all animals know how to
swim without having to learn it. AS
soon as they fall into the water or are
driven into 1t they instinctively make
the proper motions and not only man
age to keep afioat. but propel them
selves without trouble.
Exceptions are the monkey, the cam
ell, giraffe and llama, which cannot
swim without assistance. Camels and
llamas have to be helped across water,
and giraffes and monkeys drown If
they enter it. Now and then both of
the latter species manage to cross wa
terways when they are driven to ex-
tremities, just as human beings occa-
sionally can keep themselves above wa
ter through sheer fright.
A funny though able swimmer is the
rabbit. He submerges his body with
the exception of head and tail. The
latter sticks away up into the air, and
his hind legs make soap suds" as he
churns the water madly to get away.
But with all his awkwardness he is a
swift swimmer and is only beaten by
the squirrel among the land animals.
The squirrel swims with his heavy
tail sunk away down in the water and
his head held high. He cleaves the
waves like duck, and a man in row.
boat has all he can do to keep abreast
of the swimming squirrel.
One thing that none of the land living
animals does is to dive. No matter how
hard pressed a swimming deer, rabbit,
squirrel or other purely terrestrial ami
NAL may be it will remain above wa
ter. But the muskrat, beaver, ice bear
and otter dive immediately.

NEW CORNELL. FIELD.
IthacRns TO Have Extensive Athletic
Grounds on College Campus.

Ithacans to Have Extensive Athletic
Grounds on College Campus.
Work will be begun o.. Cornelrs new
athletic field at Ithaca, y. Y, on Sept.
10. This decision was reached at the
recent meeting of the committee in
charge of the athletic fund, when it
was announced by G. w. Bason of
New York, chairman of the committee
that $4,000 had already been sub
scribed and that $4,000 would be
available on Sept. -, says the New
York Commercial Advertiser.
The plans for the new field include
more than u mere football gridiron, a
diamond and II track. a large play
ground will be constructed where stu
dents not interested in regular athlet-
les may secure outdoor exercise. The
new field will be directly east of the
veterinary college, on a portion of the
present university farm. 1t will cover
an area of ffty-fve acres, twenty Of
which will be devoted to n university
playground and the rest to n varsity
athletic field.
The playground must be finished
first. This was the condition upon
which the board of trustees of the uni
versity granted the land to the field
committee. 1t will be laid out with
tennis courts, baseball diamonds and
the like. BY its agreement with the
board of trustees the field committee
will not eXpend less than $4,000 on
this portion Of the field.
The athletic field proper will cover
thirty-fve acres and will be some ten
or twelve feet above the level of the
playground. It's baseball diamond and
its gridiron will be separate. The run
ming track will be half mile in length.
The grand stand will be constructed Of
steel, and the general equipment Of
the field will be as fine as that of any
college In the United States. With sub
scriptions turned into cash, as agreed,
the work, costing in all some $4,000,
will be completed in two years.
