HUMAN BONES UNEARTHED
GREwS0ME DISCOVERY MADE BY WORK.
MEN EMPLOYED ON SIXTEENTH
STREET

Workmen engaged In repairing Six
teenth street yesterday unearthed
many human bones. The grewsome
discovery was made where the street
Is being graded Just north Of Exchange
street. The bones are not in good
state of preservation, and have the APP
appearance of having been in the
ground for fully 100 years.
Among the bones unearthed are two
from the arm Of man. Other bones
were also found. OF finds OF this kind
made In Astoria. the bones discovered
yesterday have evidently been longest
under ground.
II is believed that Sixteenth street
south from Exchange was once an In
dian burial ground When that thor
oughfare was improved some Is years
ago dozens of graves were found by the
men engaged in excavating. Liberal
quantities of beads and other Indian
relics were also found
The find yesterday was some distance
from that previously made and there
were no beads in the immediate vicin-
ity. 1t is somewhat singular that the
skull of the skeleton could not be found
The impression prevails that the bones
are those Of q man named McTavish,
who was an employe of the Hudson
Bay Company, and who was buried
there in 1872.

The new biological station is to be stu
ated at the Flats, so called, half way be-
tween Hamilton at one end of Bermuda and
picturesque old st. George at the other. A
good-sized, comfortable building has been
obtained, overlooking the deep indigo blue
water that surrounds the thirty or forty
little islets of the group, which will afford
table room for about a score of expert in
vestigators. The persons to be connected
with the station are all either on the teach
ing force of some educational institution or
engaged upon independent researches that
entitle them to a place among the advanced
students of modern scientific problems. The
station will be supplied with all the regular
paraphernalia of a well-equipped marine
laboratory With this laboratory as a start
ing point the Bermuda Natural History So
ciety. acting as hosts, have agreed to fur
nish the visiting scientists with all the
necessary facilities for the collection of
their specimens; namely. a steam launch,
about forty feet long. with a native crew; a
sailboat, with an ample fish well for the
preservation of living fish, and a carriage
cdpdple Oh carrying ten or dozen paSSen-
gers wherever they may wish to go in the
interior. The expenses of the trip have been
reduced to the lowest possible figures, spe-
cial arrangements having been made with
the steamboat company that will transport
the party and with the hotel which the
scientists will make their Headquarters dur
ing the six or eight weeks that the station
will be kept open. Prof. z. L. Mark, d.
rector Of the Harvard geological laboratory,
and Prof. c. l.. Bristol, Of New York Uni

of the undertaking.
Aside from its scientific interest this little
American invasion of summer Bermuda
will probably be welcomed by the people Of
