UNIQUE PREHISTORIC RELIC

A perforated human tooth, used as
an ornament by cave dweller, is the
especially interesting specimen in the
collection of relics of prehistoric races
given to Yale museum by Professor G.
G. McCurdy, head of the anthropo-
logical division.
These collections were gathered by
Professor McCurdy in his tours of
England, France and Spain. AT La
Combe he made the first exploration of
a cave, where the human tooth was
found. 1t is the first ornament of the
kind. as distinguished from those made
from the teeth of animals, ever recov-
cred in Europe.

ELEcTRIFY PLANTS

DR.. Lyman J. Briggs. head of the ex-

industry, Is stringing electric wires
over a government garden on the Po-
tomac river for the purpose of raising
plants by the aid of electricity He
will eIectrify onions and snap beans,
potatoes and hops.
For some time DR.. Briggs has been
experimenting with electricity in the
cultivation of plants, but his apparatus
was not of the best type until now. A
few new wires from England were i'm
ported and are in position The wires
are about sixteen feet above the
ground.
DR. Briggs will not tell Just how he
is going to apply electricity to the
onion and the bean. but he thinks that
he will produce better vegetables at a
lower cost than the farmer.

MAPS AS WINDOWS

Celebrated old maps of the world re
produced as glass transparencies in the
windows of the American Geograph-
ical society building in New York city
are being used by the society for per-
manent window decorations. Forty
two maps selected to represent the de-
velopment of mapmaking from the
first to the seventeenth century are
shown in the windows of the first floor
of the building on the Broadway and
One Hundred and Fifty-sixth street
sides.
The idea of utilizing the windows for
map tranSparencies occurred to DR.. Ed
ward Luther Stevenson, secretary of
the Hispanic Society of America He
saw that the building, with its many
windows, received plenty of sunlight
which made the windows we'll fitted
for transparencies, and that the trans
parencies would go far to hide the ugli-
ness of the iron bars on the outside of
the windows. DIR. Stevenson took his
idea to Archer NJ. Huntington. the hon
orary president of the Geographical So
ciety. and Mr.. Huntington and other
officers of the society thought so well
of il that they told DIR. Stevenson to go
ahead with his transparencies.
The maps reproduced on the
windows were collected by DIR. Steven
son from many of the cities of the old
world.
The originals of the maps We're made
by monks and early geographers.
Many of them represent the world in
curious shapes and sizes. In the early
maps the east is shown at the top
and the garden of Eden and heaven
