Of Braganza, pretender to the throne Of
Portugal. whose only title TO the throne
is based upon Usurpation. by the former
Dom Miguel. now dead
Untl recently Miguel had been con-
tent TO live quietly in Austria, where
he was well treated as a relative o.
the Hapsburgs. In fact he was treated
almost as d member of the imperial
family, receiving the command of a
crack Hussar regiment and the order
OF the Golden Fleece, as though he were
an Austrian archduke. Born in Austria
in 1883. and educated in that country
he has been looked upon until now as
al Austrian in everything but name ami
title.
The late Dom Migue. reigned s King
OF Portugal for a short while, through
his usurpation of the throne, which ne
secured by a violation of all his prom
ises to the people, his family and the

Field work in ethnology and archaic

long as he has ON the continents OF
the old world and did he originate here
or was he an importation? Not long

Nebraska which were thought at first
to belong to a comparatively early
age and to antedate the present era
by thousands of years at least. The
bureau Of American ethnology at
Washington delegated n of its ex-
perts, DIR. Aies Erdlicka. TO make a
thorough examination Of the finds. and
he made a report to the effect that
