stone axe-heads. of various shapes

ing the process OF coffee planting. A
reason for the great number found
at this place has been suggested by
the fact, that. since they had discov-
cred the art OF making copper (axe.
heads OF copper have been found.
They came to this hill, from FAR

However, to Mr.. Furlong belongs
the credit OF having unearthed some
very strange inscriptions, carved on
an immense boulder In the bed OF the

covery was purely accidental. He
had selected this giant stone as an
anchorage for suspension bridge
