WOMEN WARRIORS.
AnNazons of Old Appear to Have Been
DANES of High Decree.

DANES of High Degree.
For long time it was held that the
story of the Amazons. the valiant race
of women warriors. so great a favorite
with the Greeks and other peoples OF
antiquity, was IA mere poetic myth, but
within recent years archaeological re-
searches have indicated that there
were indeed women fighters of high
rank in those remote days
A couple of years ago there was un-
earthed sepulcher in that part of Italy
known as Etruria in which was diScov-
cred a war chariot of bronze and iron.
wherein was crouched the skeleton of
woman About this skeleton were
the remains Of rich robes and orna-
ments Of cold and ivory, such as in the
old traditions the Amazons wore in
battle The bronze work and the terra
Gotta vases fixed the date of the tomb
as about 500 B. C.
The first stories of the AmaZons as
signed them to the northeastern part
of Asia Minor, but Etruria was peO-
pied from Asia Minor and had attained
a high degree of skill in certain of the
arts long before Rome was founded
Such evidence as this tomb affords is.
in the opinion of more than one au-
thority, more convincing than the pic
lures of Amazons on the old vases or
such legends as that of Queen Pene-
thesilea. who was said to have led
5000 women fighters to the aid Of
Priam during the Trojan war.-Har-
per'S Weekly.
