GREAT BIRDS IN THE RING
Ostrich Is Strong as Horse and
Boxes With His Feet.

Ostriches battle for supremacy
with as much ferocity as stays, bulls,
buffaloes, and other animals. An
ostrich fight is amusing inasmuch as
II amounts practically to a boxing
match with the feet, wherein the com
batants lightly dance around each
other. There is, however, this diff
ference: If any human boxer could
hit as hard with his hands as can an
ostrich with its feet the champion
ship would be decided by a single
blow. In sparring the ostrich stands
on one foot. with the other foot and
the wings raised, the bill wide pen
and the necy distended. He strikes
with the force of a triphammer.
Sometimes on an ostrich farm a
keeper will become involved In such
a mix-up, in which event IL is not in
frequently the case that the human
emerges from the scrap with brok-
en- limb or head.
Under modern training an ostrich
equals horse In power and. indeed,
can perform many OF the stunts
whereof his equine colleague is cap
able. In one respect. however, he
excels the horse for by the aid OF
its wings the ostrich can leave be-
hind the understanding thorough
bred. In harness an ostrich has al

MOST REMARKABLE DISCOVERY

Richmond. Va, Dec. l6.-skeie-

dungeon ten feet below the surface
of the street by workmen demoiish-
ing the old building at Governor and
Ross streets.
Under a bricked-over trap door
they found the remains of man
and a woman. The bones were COW
cred with mould and were crumbling
TO pieces with age. Not the slight
est clue was furnished as to their
identity. The damp mould was ex-
amined for buttons or pieces OF jew
elry. but nothing was found save a
small fragment of cloth and several
wisps of reddish brown hair.

New Light on chronological
Problem.

Berkeley, Cal, Dec. 16.-Confront
ed with the problem of aboriginal
languages of the Califyrnia Indians
so highly developed that ii must have
taken thousands of years to work
out their evolution. Prof. A. l.. Kroe
Der. OF the anthropological depart
ment of the University of California,
has suggested the theory that the
tribes must be related In some way
to the Asiatic peoples across the Pa
cific.
This theory, he believes. Is borne
out by certain peculiar resemblance.
and Is associated with the discovery
that at least one tribe in the neigh
borhood of Los Angeles is intimate
ly related to the famous Aztecs of
Old Mexico. The theory Is of the
greatest importance in the study of
ethnology, new facts and theories
In this branch of science being eager
ly awaited by savants In this country
and In Europe.
The question OF migration and dis
tribution of the great races is inti-
mateE bound up with the problem.
As yet there is not sufficient data to
advance 1t in anything more than a
tentative form. but the members OF
the department of anthropology in
the university are working hard to
bring out all the facts.

Strange Mystery.
That there was a strange mystery
connected with the house many
years ago was ascertained this morn
ing from an antiquarian, who told a
weird story of beautiful daughter
of former resident of the house
and several unfortunate love affairs
with which she was connected. The
young lady was named Atelia (the
last name the gentleman refused to
dlsclose). For love of her a young
man named George Spalding, he
said, committed suicide, while an
other man. Thomas Wynn, is said to
have been mysteriously murdered in
quarrel in which her name was
mentioned.
The position OF the skeleton
would indicate that the woman-or
young lady-died lying at full
length. The bones of the other
skeleton show that the man died
while crouching or kneeling in a
corner.
The sealing was SO carefully and
thoroughly done that 1t would be
practically impossible for the utmost
sound made by a person thus i'm
prisoned to be heard above, while no
sound from the outside world could
leak down into the dungeon.
How long the bones have lain
thus undistufbed no one may ever
know. The remains of the old fry
ing pan bear mute evidence that
food was probably passed down into
the cell before 1t was sealed and the
victims left to die alone and hope
less in the darkness.

A Six-Inch Appetite.

M. Escoffier, the famous chef
who has just celebrated his fiftie h
Jubilee in London. once entertained
me with some marvellous stories
about big appetites." said New
York hotel man.
i think the best of these stories
was about an alderman. This chap
said to his neighbor at a Christmas
banquet as he pushed his chair a lit
tie away from the table:
"I'll give you a tip. It's one I've
followed for years. At the start of
banquet ! sit six inches on the table.
and keep on eating till I'm up to
it, Exchange.
The Paducah evening sun. [volume] (Paducah, Ky.) 1906-1929, 1909-12-16

body of the woman was found the
rusted remains OF an old iron dish
or frying pan.
Some distance from the skeleton
was found parts of the skull. which
had been dragged away by rats.
Several teeth picked up indicated
that the woman was young. the
teeth being sharp, smooth and ex-
oellently preserved. Lying near the
skeletons were found the skulls OF
two enormous rats. which had been
dead so long that only the heavier
bones remsined.
Is An Old House.
AS to how these two persons came
into the cell, as 10 their death and
the probable causes of IL. specula-
ton is staggered The house near
which they were found dates back to
the middle of the last century and
has served as a dwelling, hotel, club,
hospital and tenement. When built
the house was in the most fashion
able residential district of the city,
but this changed later into the bust
ness section as the city moved west
ward, until the old house ceased to
be used as a dwelling. Passing
through various hands it was finally
practically ndoned-holding all
the while its secret of the skeletons.
According to the best information
obtainable the. house was built In
the early 4O's by wealthy Irish
man, John Cullen. After his death,
in 1852, the house changed hands
several times and was during and
Immediately after the war the Rich
mond House, one of the first hotels
in the city. 1t was later used as a
clubhouse, but was converted into a
hospital in 1889 and for the follow
ing ten or fifteen years was the
property of the late DR.. Hunter Nc
Guire.
Recently 1t was used as a kind
of tenement house. Finally. the old
building was bought by the Rich

dan languages and dialects have
been secured by members of the de-
partment, many of them being sup
p,emented by Photographic records.
The total number of distinct aborig-
inal idioms in California Is now es-
timated to have been 1856. Few In
dams are still found who speak a
language that has not been previous
y noted. Such a new dialect was
only this month recorded by Prof. A..
l.. Koeber from the Sacramento val
ley.
The numerous languages fall in
about twenty groups. known as fam
lies or stock. All the dialects with
In one group show a certain similar
lily, but there is no resemblance
whatever between one group and
another. Owing to the absence of
historical records for more than a
livery short period, the similarjties
and differences between the various
languages furnish the best means of
classifying the Indian tribes and of
determining their relationships and
origin. In this way 1t has been as
icertained that certain tribes of Hum
bo'dt and Mendocina counties have
sprung from the same source as the
Indians OF Alaska and the Apache.
The Indians that formerly inhabited
Los Angeles county are relatives OF
the famous Aztecs Of Mexico. The
majority OF the California Indians
have no relatives outside of the state
so that they are thought to have
either originated in the state or to
have sprung from ancestors that
lived there many thousands of years
ago.

That dependency in women is a mental condition often
traceable to some distinctly female i'll!
Women who are well do not have the blues, neither are
they irritable and restless. Derangement of the female
organism breeds all kinds of miserable feelings such as back
ache. headache, and bearing-down feelings. Try Lydia E.
Pinkhams Vegetable Compound. There is no doubt that
1t has made many remarkable cures of female ills after all
other means had failed. There is hardly a day that some
woman does not write us that this simple old medicine,
made only of roots and herbs, has cured her of a severe
illness after several doctors had done their best and failed.
Here are two such letters read them they are
genuine and reliable.
