clothes. Their process for making this
cloth is unknown and will probably re-
main one of the lost arts.
1t is believed that climatic changes,
due to the great geological mutations,
caused the cliff jewellers to abandon
their residences 1t is known that
there was ages ago plenty of water in
the region where they made their
homes with which to irrigate their
lands. Now the country is largely arid
and would not furnish sustenance for
a community of any size.
Investigations may reveal that after
leaving their homes the cliff jewellers
emigrated to all parts of the earth, and
students say traces of their influence
are to be found not only in the Ameri-
can Indian but in the Eskimo and the
Mongolians.
While there is as yet nothing definite
on the subject, it is believed that these
remarkable dwellings have been in ex-
istence for hundreds upon hundreds Of
centuries. They represent a civiliza-
ton older even than that Of the Chal-
deans, whose prehistoric ruins have
until now been considered the most an
cient in existence.
Among the more noteworthy ruins of
the Mesa Verde should be mentioned
Cliff palace, consisting really of several
buildings covering a span Of approx
mately 300 feet. Some of the towers in
this village extend flush to the ledge
overhead, forming the room. This pal
ace shows that the deterioration of the
dwelling is no longer due to vandalism.
Many of the walls are falling of their
own weight.
If the present plans are carried out
and the bills introduced pass Congress,
as it is believed they will, the ruins of
the cliff jewellers will be preserved in
great reservation that will furnish
pleasure and profit to thousands in the
years to come. The section to be made
a reservation comprises almost as
many natural wonders as does Yellow
stone National Park, and the latter
contains nothing of SO much interest to
the student of archaeology as the cliff
dwellings.
There is a fourishing society in Col
orado, composed largely of women and
styled the Colorado Cliff Dwellings AS
ISOLATION, which has interested itself in
the preservation Of the ruins 1t want
ed a State reservation. 1t is almost
certain, however, that this plan will be
defeated and that this wonderfully in
teresting region will be made nation
al reservation.

A Third End.

An Irishman who was out OF WORK
went on board a vessel that was III
the harbor and asked the captain II he
could find him work on the ship.

time handing the Irlshman piece OF
rope, IF you can find three ends 10
that rope you shall have some work.
The Irishman took hold Of one end
Of the rope, and showing it to the cap

sacred rites were daily performed.
Under this altar was a hole called the
saipapu, which represented the opening
through which the human soul passed
from the lower world into life. Some
what similar to the belief of the mod
ern red men that there Is happy
hunting ground was the hope of the
cliff dwellers for eternal happiness
after death in the Lake of Shipapu.
Those who led the right life, they
thought, would be rewarded by the
great creator.
The dress of the cliff dwelllers was
simple and artistic. A remarkable
cloth made from turkey feathers and
rabbit fur, which was strong and dur
able and served for both winter and
summer. was the material for their

Modern civilization may we'll look to
its laurels. Evidences are coming to
light that other races have progressed
even farther than the highest Of to-
day. Discoveries have been made in
Colorado recently that are astonishing
beyond the widest dreams Of the tic-
ZIONIST.
The race whose civilization antedates
the oldest evidences Of human life re-
vealed by excavations in the old world;
whose social, domestic and national
lives had reached a point Of which only
the most enthusiastic Of modern re-
formers dream; who had discarded
money and who knew nothing Of the
evils it carries with it; whose women
were supreme in their sphere and who
led life Of brotherly love and COM
llurion which sociologists declare the
civilization Of the future will adopt.
These are some Of the disclosures made
by Prof. Edgar L. Hewett, fellow of
the American Institute Of Archaeology
and one of the foremost ethnologists Of
the world, who has been conducting an
investigation of the ancient cliff dwell
ings in the Mesa Verde of Southwestern
Colorado.
A bill was passed by the Senate some
time ago setting aside the Mesa Verde
as a national park on account OF its
remarkable curiosity and the need foi.
preservation Of it's marvellous ruins
The House will undoubtedly pass the
same measure this month.
Future study Of these remnants o.
prehistoric days may, Scientists de
clare, prove that here was the dawn of
civilization and that it was these cliff
jewellers who, forced to abandon their
homes by climatic and geological
changes, later spread throughout the
world and populated it. Already the
Investigations, so far extremely super
fetal, have furnished the strongest OF
evidence that these people were not
descendants or offshoots of another and
older people, but that they themselves
were the original root of the family
tree.
Task Is Gigantic One.
Professor Hewett is working with
might and main to have the ruins
placed in Federal control. He realizes
their preciousness and the fact that
nowhere on the globe is their duplicate.
The entire world may be startled when
excavations are made in the Mesa Yer
def they are ever allowed. Hidden
beneath the soil of thousands upon
thousands of years are relics Of a PEG
pie around whom clings black cloak
Of mystery. Professor Hewett has a
life work ahead. 1t is to ascertain
whether or not the cliff jewellers vera
of the red, black, white or Monaghan
race. Peoples who lived in caves Or
dug holes for themselves in cliffs are
found in Colorado. Utah, New Mexico

there might not be even the most re-
rage The result was that the cliff
dweller was sound specimen physical
" and mentally, and disease was I'M
known among them.
Children took the name of the moth
err instead of the father. Nowhere has
there ever been such reverence for the
mother right Polygamy was unknown,
and the marriage relation was consid-
cred far more sacred than it is to-day.
There was no frenzied finance among
the cliff jewellers. The great necessi-
ties, wood and water, were held in
common. They furnish the only exam
pie known to history of a really sue
cessful communistic mode Of life
Money was discarded and research
shows that as the cliff jewellers devel-
oped all mediums of exchange vanished.
The result was a pure and simple
life, in which crime was unknown and
jails unnecessary. There were no po-
litical spoils to fight over and the COM
munity officers acted merely for the
honor the positions bestowed upon
them.
The cliff dwellers were not large men
and women. They had no need Of great
strength because of their peculiar life.
They were, however, wiry and strong.
They were capable of great feats of
endurance and able to handle immense

and one or two other sections. But
the cliff dwellers of the Mesa Verde
seem to have been class by them
selves-the first Of the first. In order
to ascertain whether or not these prim.
tive men and women existed at the
same period and belonged to the same
tribe the most exhaustive researches
must be made by Professor Hewett.
They include the measurement Of skele-
tons, comparison with whatever relies
may be encountered, deductions drawn
from modes Of life and examinations
Asia.
1t is a tremendous undertaking. Hut
science cries for it's prosecution. The
world must know who and what were
these prehistoric beings. 1t will require
years to obtain crumb of absolute
fact But science will count each crumb
a jewel and history may eventually
undergo a radical revision.
Some months ago Professor Hewett
recommended in an address before the
American Anthropological Association
in part as follows:
THAT the President of the United
States shall be authorized in his discre-
ton to declare by public proclamation
historic landmarks, historic and prehis-
toric structures and other objects of
historic or scientific interest that are

ceiling in the arts and in mental feats
than in displays Of strength.
Were Religious People.
Religion, it is believed, was the most
marked characteristic feature Of the
cliff jewellers, and when they left their
homes and settled in Mexico it became
almost mania. While the AZtecs made
frequent sacrifices of life to propitiate
their gods. there is no evidence Of the
worship of the cliff dvellers taking
such turn.
In one room of each house, called the
kaiva, there was an altar on which the

In his book on India, The High-Road
of Empire" Mr.. Murray enlivens a de-
scription of the carts of that country
with a story of a fellow Englishman
who had Travelled in the East He was
a Kentish squire, who was interested
in giving his tenants an intelligent idea
of what he had seen abroad
He had made a journey in Palestine,
and being an admirable craftsman, had
brought home a number Of excellent
sketches. One winter evening after his
return the squire gave lecture to his
village, and showed a number of his
drawings. Among them was q cart
very similar to that which | drew at
Jodhpur.
The squire explained to his audience
that it was a type Of the most primitive
conveyance known, and that it had ex-
listed in precisely this same form in
Palestine from the earliest times; in
deed, that it was probably a cart or
wagon Of this description that Joseph
had sent down from Egypt to bring his
father and his household goods from
Canaan.
Afterward an old farmer came up and
expressed his great interest in what he
had heard, adding that there was one
thing above all others which had inter
ested him, and that was the cart. For

King Edward is a member of one or
two clubs which are naturally among the

it follows also that no new member is
ever admitted to them unless his candi-

1t also goes without saying that the king
is not Il member, and never would be, of
any club which is run on political lines,
