AN TNTEREsTINa FIND.

Within recent years there have been several exhumations which forcibly re- vive ancient history and connect the present with the long buried past We do not now 'allude to the digging up of remains of prehistoric life, but to works of human hands which bridge the gap of centuries and unite our civ ilization with that of long ago. Of this character is the remarkable old ship which was found at the bottom of Lake Bolsena, in Italy. and which carries us back to the triremes of an- cient Rome when that country was at the zenith of her glory. Another dnd of equal interest was the ancient ship unearthed in Norway which evidently belonging to the old Scandinavian days of long ago.
 A more recent example was in New York City where. during some excava- tions that were being made. there was unearthed one of the old wooden ca noes or dug-outs. True. some of this class of boats are still in use among the Indians of the Northwest. but this was found under Cherry Street. and the depth of earth covering 1t show that 1t had been there a long while and may have been abandoned in one of the marshy streams or ponds be- fore Hendrix Hudson sailed up the river bearing his name. It is a re- hinder of the ancient Algonquins who inhabited that country in the long ago. and was possibly lost or forgotten be- fore any white man ever saw the coun- try. Had it not been found It might have lain there many centuries and in the far distant future some inquisi.ive archeologist would find it and publish a paper on "The ancient inhabitants of Manhattan" The old dug-out is a con- meeting link between the savagery of the red man and the civilization of the white
