Moki Indians Descendants of
 Cliff Dwellers of Territories

Just what place the ancient el'h dwellers of Arizona and New Mexico occupy in the 'Who's Who" of eth hology comes very near being deter mined by the recent exploring exped- tion undertaken by Professor John Uri Lloyd of Cincinnati, Dr. J. A. Munk and Dr. O. c. Wellborn of Los Angeles, says the Los Angeles Herald.
 The party, which has just returned from a six weeks stay near Gallup, N. M. asserts with conviction as al result of its investigations that the Moki Indians are the direct descendants of the cliff dweller, who lived SO long ago that his chronological epoch is in doubt.
 The identification of the relationship between the Moki and the cliff dweller was made by means of fragments of pottery of the two races.
 Professor Lloyd is emeritus professor of chemistry and head of the Eclectic Institute of Cincinnati. He is perhaps best known as author of "Stringtown on the Pike" Last year he went to Arabia at the request of the Smithson- ian Institution of Washington to study Arab types. With his brothers, C. G.. Lloyd and Ashley Lloyd, he founded the Lloyd library, devoted to American medicinal plants.
 J. A. Munk is an authority on Ari- zona and is the author of "Arizona Sketches. He possesses the best It. brary on Arizona that is in existence. Dr. Wellborn has travelled extensively in Korea and Japan and rendered valu- able assistance on account of his know ledge of Mongolian types.
 "We started from Gallup" said Dr. Wellborn yesterday, "made up our pack train there and proceeded to the Chin Ice settlement of the Navajo Indians at Dechelly canyon. We studied the pottery of the Mokis and the Navajos and then collected a lot of fragments of cliff dwellers' pottery which we found in the ravines, where they had been thrown centuries before. When Coronado visited Arizona in l540 the cliff dwellings were destroyed and bro ken as they are today.
 "The Mokis today live in the same way that the cliff dwellers did. All they want is cave, water and a little piece of tillable land. They can raise corn where white man would fail. A piece of sandy soil with almost nc water will produce corn for the Moki but not for the white man. It is knowI as the process of dry farming.
 "Another similarity between the two peoples is their preference for altitude The government built the Mokis com fortable homes at the base of the cliff some time ago. The tribe moved dowi and lived there a short while, then thcl moved back into their caves cH t1' cliff. One reason was that alt r sures immunity from d;es a9d .is "' toes. It also fui, s"' ,.'"

human being was saved. The upper part of the coral was broken off and swept away, and few days later noth- ing but the placid waters of the ocean was seen where the atoli had stood.
 But such events are a part of our modern history and have little resem- blance to the mighty movements that have buried wide lands beneath the sea. North of Europe in the shallow Barentz sea, whose bottom geologists now have no doubt was once above the water, so that Nova Zembla, Spitzbergen and Franz Josef Land were once part of Europe.
 Iceland, southern Greenland and a few other islands are all that is left above water of the great land bridge that once joined Europe and America. though we find in the submarine ridge that extends all the way from Iceland to Scotland a part of the foundation of that land.

LETTER RECEIVED FROM NATION AL INSTITUTE IN REGARD TO IMMENSE TUSK DISCOVERED RECENTLY NEAR DOUGLAS.

DOUGLAS, July 25.-In connection with the finding of part of the remains of some pre- historic animal on the Wills ranch about four and one-half miles north of Douglas, letter has been re- ceiyed from the Smithsonian Institute in Washington by a member of the Dis patch force who wrote them relative to the find. The parts of the skeleton brought to Douglas consist of a large tusk seen in the window of the Arizona Drug company and tooth and another section of tusk, which is on exhibition at the store of,L. D. Mccartney, at the corner of Thirteenth and G avenue. The letter is as follows:
 ''Dear Sir: beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of July 9 and to thank you for bringing to the at- tention of the museum the discovery of the remains mentioned, which are prob ably those of mastodon, and are per haps the same as those mentioned in a letter recently received from Mir.

 coral island is sometimes torn to pieces by great storm, showing that islands disappear in more ways than one. This happened to the Milatoll in the Marshall group in 1905, when it happened to be in the path of a terrific hurricane.

SUNKEN LANDS .
 OF INTEREST VAST AREAS NOW COVERED BY THE OCEAN WHICH WERE
 ONCE DRY LAND

The recent discovery that group of little islands some hundreds of miles south of New Zealand were once part of a great continental mass extending in all probability to Antaretics and South America, which finally sank be meath the ocean, leaving only these rem nants, calls attention to the fact that there are vast areas now covered by the sea which were once dry land. The process of disappearance was very slow. It involved no cataclysm or sudden catastrophe overwhelming all animal and vegetable life, but the work went on century after century till great sur faces were part of the sea floor.
 Events often occur that recall such vicissitudes. A little after Chile s beau tiful port of Valparaiso was destroyed by earthquake on August 16, 1906. the news came that the island of Mas a Tierra, on which Alexander Selkirk was east away for five years, his unhappy fate suggesting to Defoe the story of Robinson Crusoe, had sunk beneath the waves. The story was incorrect, but it called again to mind the facts that are believed to prove that the Juan Fer nandez group, to which this island be- longs, was formerly part of South America.
 Land once rose above the wide waste of waters that now separated the isl ands from the mainland.. Among the many proofs of this may be mentioned here only the two varieties of humming birds peculiar to Chile that have been seen on the islands ever since they were first visited by sailors.
 It is not very uncommon for vol cauc islands, after they have been ! thrust above the surface, to disappear again. The island Krakatau was liter | ally blown into the air by world-shak- ing explosion in August, 1883, and the | great wave that resulted, over one hun dred feet high, swept over the northern coast of Java, drowning 30,000 people
 Falcon island came into view above the Pacific nearly twenty years ago sank again in about ten years and once more has come into view. A part of our, new land at Bogaslov, on the Alas kan coast, disappeared after a few years, and other land has recently riser in the same neighborhood.
 Far out in the Pacific in 1904 neal the Bonin islands, new bit of lanc rose above the sea and the Japanes, raised their flag over it and gave tn, \ name of Nushima to their new acqui sition. It has slipped from their grasp however, for the following year it melt ed away to nine feet above the seq level, and the last vestige of it has now disappeared.
