event recorded thereon occurred lo.ess
years ago. according to Doctor Curry'l
reckoning.
When the three nations then ~inhabitins

made q national emblem of the objects

Another record in Doctor currys oot-
lection is a stone weighing thirty-fivs
pounds.
1t is Is inches in length and Q inches
thick. shaped similar to a pyramid
This also was found by a farmer plov-
Ing in q field near Grand Gulf.
The hieroglyphics on this stone arr

According to Doctor Curry, the hero
giyphics tell Of the greatest battle evsr
fought on the globe.
1t was he war which expelled the (so-
cailed) mound builders from this oont-
nent.
The victors were the direct ancestors of
the North American Indians, and tradi.
tons handed down to them for ages con-
firm the records made on this stone. The
great battle took place 397 A D..
To those unfamiliar with the prehistoric
races of America the most interesting
relic in Doctor Curry's collection is a
tool made of copper and tempered harder
than steel. The tool resembles a hee and
was used In corking large vessels.
Doctor Curry found 1t in a mound at
st. Iguad, Straits of Mackinaw.
1t has a handle OF copper, welded on the
blade. Both the welding OF copper and
the tempering of this metal are lost arts
proving that the races which inhabited
this continent thousands OF years ago
were highly civilized and. It is claimed by
Doctor Curry. were far In advance OF the
races OF to-day.
Numerous specimens OF pottery. such a.
are not made in this age. tomahawks, ar
row heads n innumerable implements
OF wal are found in Doctor Curry's colieo-
ton. He also has what the Indians uy-
ing on the shores Of Lake Superior and
in Mexico call a barometer.
This is q stone. almost of pure white
color. . inches In diameter. an inch thick.
1t is followed out on both sides. similar
to a saucer.
when a storm Is brewing the stone gets
warm and turns red twenty-four hours In
advance Of the event. and after the storm
is over the stone grows cold and turns
gray.

CHART ILLUSTRATES
FoRMArIoo OF THE WORLD.
Doctor Curry has made q large chart
showing the geological. biblical and tradi-
tional stories Of the formation OF the
world.
Ha says they are all identically the
same, with a few exceptions.
In his work on the prehistoric races
Doctor Curry starts at the beginning Of
mans life on earth.
The first record OF this he found On the
north shore Of Lake Superior. Carved high
upon q cliff 300 feet above the wstsr ieyei
can be seen these hierogiyphics.
Doctor Curry sat In q boat on the waters
of the lake with an Indian Ind his little
son and copied the characters
