There are other herbs which are utilized
by the Indians as food. Indeed, there are

however, other things besides plants which
are made to satisfy the pangs of hunger
In the animal kingdom are a number of
varieties OF creatures, not classed in the

Insects as Food.
There are in the southwest, particularly
IN California, bodies of bitter, poisonous
waters known boracic lakes Owens

is Nerltable Dead sea. and, like the sea of
that name and its counterpart, the Great
Salt lake OF Utah, its heavy. brackish wa
tiers do not support fish or marine life
At certain seasons of the year the waters
OF these boracic lakes abound in n white
grub known to the Indians of that region
as 'koochbee." These grubs are the larvae
of two-winged fly, the Ephydra Califor-
Mica. So plentiful are these grubs in their
eason they line the shores of the lake to
a depth of several inches. where the waves
cast them up from their watery incubator
The Indians. at this season of the year,
camp upon the shores OF the lake gather
this peculiar harvest and dry it in the SUM-
Later the grubs are ground in stone NOR
tars into fine powder, and from this insect
meal they bake bread which is highly
priced.
There are a number of other insects liz

as food by different tribes. The chucka-
Wala. lizard somewhat resembling the

with lower California Indians, and with
some of the tribes north of the line. It
may not be the most inviting of foods

OI,DESTTHEBAN TEMPLE
ARCHAEoLoGISTs DISCOVER AN
ANCIENT BUILDING.
High Artistic Development of the
Eleventh Dynasty in Egypt
400 Years Ago.


From the London Times.
We have now cleared two-thirds of the
temple Of King Mentuhetep III of the
eleventh dynasty b. c. Zoo, the Oldest
temple at Thebes. The discoveries of this
year have raised important questions as
regards the development OF Egyptian art
and architecture.
We have unearthed the remains of a
building which at present is unique IN its
type. 1t consists of rock platform, which
was reached by means OF a ramp like the
terraces OF the ne!Ehboring temple OF Queen
Hatshepshu Of the eightes NH dynasty. At
the top of the ramp granite doorway (of
which the threshold only remains) led to u
triple row Of octagonal sandstone columns.
The columns formed double peristyle,
which ran along the four sides Of a cen
tral construction, the nature and purpose
Of which are not yet absolutely settled.
This construction IS a rectangular black. the
outside Of which was formed by casing of
large limestone slabs. beautifully joined and
resembling those Of the facing wall of the
court discovered asst year. Behind the cas-
ing IS heavy wall of rough and heavy
nodules of flint. and the MIDDLE IS filled
with rubbish and loose stones. so that the
whole was compact mass.
Architecture
What is most probable is that 1t was
basement or platform. with the usual
Egyptian cavetto cornice and a torus or
angle head at each corner tof these we
have found fragments) on which was raised
further construction of some kind. This
cannot have been an altar or n sanctuary,
as IN this case we should have found re-
mains Of a stepway giving access TO the
top. But on the basement may have stood
"a small pyramid. which gave To the build
Ing the appearance Of IA Itinerary mouu-
lueut Of type which We often see In the
papyri This monument may have marked
the presence Of tomb chamber at 4

not be reached from the top, but only by
q s. de passage opening some way Off. or II
may have been merely an architectural sur
vival. kind of atrophied pyramid retained
iu the design of the Itinerary temple, and
indicating no tomb.
This supposition that a small pyramid
stood on the central erection squares best
With the Psychological evidence, which de-
mands a pyramid here, but the effect of the
whole must have been peculiar since We
have also an absolutely unusual arrange
ment: the pyramid base was surrounded by
4 triple row Of columns, which certainly
supported a ceiling and formed a hypostyle
passage or colonnade which must have
been quite dark. or nearly so Qike the am
bulatorleS surrounding the shrines In later
temples), for the outside was closed by a
thick wall. the wall which was decorated
with the sculptured reliefs found both last
year and this. II would seem, judging from
the appearance OF the columns, that the
ceiling correspondent to the height of the
platform. but the ruined state OF the temple
does not allow US to assert this more def
nitely. In any case We have here q new
