Some figures have been prepared re-
Gently showing the great ports of the
world, from which it appears that the
trade of London is worth s2S5, ,000, 900
year, while that of Liverpool stands
the other great ports are rs follows
New York 1921, O,O0o, Hamburg (in-
Guiding the coasting trade) f230,000,-
600. Marseille, GlS6, 100000, Antwerp
(iuclusive of river and canal traffic }

bay e51 100000. Singapore $4,000. 900
and Sydney s3S S,OOO,0 900, 1t should be
noted that the figures for the two Brit
ish ports do not include the value of
the coasting trade. The probability of
London being able to maintain its posi-
ton as the greatest port of the world
is becoming somewhat doubtful.

THE MOUND BUILDERS
Burial of Dead in This Manner Prac-
tised Up to Advent Of Whites.

Burial of Dead in This Manner Prac-
tised Up to Advent of Whites.
Mound builders of the Mississippi
| dead, were IN close touch with those
of the valley Of the Ohio, and had
something In common with them, en-
bracing the ideals displayed in the an
cestor worship of the Oriental, as well
as antedating the custom of settling a
granite shaft as a mark of respect over
the graves of our departed at the pres
ent time.
Formerly mound builders were sup
posed to have become an extinct race,
occupying the territory in which these
numerous burial mounds arc found,
prior TO its occupancy by the North
American Indians, but in the light of
more recent and more thorough investI-
cation, writes Richard Hermann, IN
"Records of the PAST il has been
shown that burial of the dead In
mounds has been practiced by the Mus
kawakies of the Foxes, who occupied
the territory up to and including some
OF the time when the first white people
settled in the upper Mississippi valley.
The former erroneous supposltion
came about principally through the un-
communicativeness of the Indian.
When questioned concerning the
mounds and their contents he would
invariably act the stole, for according
TO his ideas of ancestor worship the
subject was held sacred and was not
TO be touched upon, nor were any of
the belongings which had been buried
with him ever in any manner TO be
used again by any living man. For
this reason, when shown flint arrow or
| spear heads they would profess iguor-
nnce and insist that they were there
before the arrival of the Indian.
The conical mounds, Mr., Hermann
states, arc generally individual or fam
| lily burying mounds. The earth, sand
or other material is carried there by
the members of the tribe or the nearest
| of kin and flied around the body. APP
parently the further the earth, sand
! or other material of which the mound
is being built is brought or the more
laborious the work Of carrying it to
the place of interment. the higher the
respect paid to the dead. And In this
respect they do not differ materially
from white people. We would disdain
TO erect over grave in the middle
West a shaft made from the limestone
OF the local Galena formation, but in
stead get a granite shaft shipped from
Vermont or elsewhere, equally as great
distance, and at as great an ex-
! DenSe,
