PREHISTORIC RACES.
Frederick Monson Lectures for Bene-
fit of Local HOSPITAL.

In lecture on prehistoric races, given
at the Belasco yesterday afternoon for the
benefit of the Episcopal Eye, Ear and
Throat Hospital Frederick Monsoon out
lined the tribal history of the Navajo In
dian from his inscrutable beginning as q
cliff dweller to his present humble stand
ing as ward of the American nation. It
was not lecture care fully prepared from
text books and illustrated by photographs
bought in a shop. 1t was the recital of a
man fresh from eighteen years of explora-
ton and study among the Indians of the
far west. whom he has learned to under
stand and love. The story was made adj
ditionally realistic by scenes and types
photographed and colored by the lecturer.
There were giant cliffs showing the ruins
Of palatial architecture which science still
finds as unsolvable as the sphinx's riddle,
and, perhaps to illustrate the march of
progress. there were other pictures of I'M
comfortable shacks in which the Indian
lives today. There We're desert scenes
that varied from cloudless day to glowing
sunsets and starlight nights; there were
fields of corn and herds Of cattle; bucks
on their burror and squaWs weaving blan-
kets cuddling their queer babies stra p
ped OH boards. Mr.. Monson said he had
often wondered why the Navajo baby
never cried, but finally concluded that
even baby must realize that in SO arid
a region not a drop of water could be
spared. He had words of honest good
will for the Navajo, man, woman and
child. and even a tribute for the loyal
dog that had its place in every phase of
family life thrown on the screen; the
baby's first plaything, and last friend of
the time-worn old man who had crept in
a cave to die.
The lecture was given by Mr.. Monson
especially for the hospital and is not in
cluded I'm the course announced for this
month and April.
