II is quite possible occasionally to
apply to one business a scheme which
was devised for an utterly different
one. Some time ago, says the Electric
Railway Journal, the street car com
pany in Pittsburgh discovered that
dental cement could be applied sue
cessfully to the, shall We say decay
ed teeth OF commutators of their car
motors? More recently the Boston Ele-
waited railway has found something
worth learning from a college football
game. to-wit: The use of megaphones
for announcements. The possibility
of using dental cement on 4 commute
tor may be regarded as a happy dis
coyeTy. but the utility of the mega
phone is so obvious that il ought TO
have been a fixture in electric railway
service long ago. 4 terminal or loop
is generally a pretty noisy place where
the voice OF anyone but that of the
famous Stentor would be lost The
most desirable method would be to |

ton OF the car next approaching. but |
where this is not practicable mega !

phone announcements would prevent
confusion and insure a better distribu-
ton of passengers. An excellent field
for the megaphone exists on a certain
electric railway system where at sew
eral places passengers have he oppor-
tunity to board cars which have al
ready been partly loaded farther down
the line, or to get on empty cars which
are operated over loops. Unfortunate
", the boarding places for such class
es of cars are so located that people
waiting for the through car from down
town cannot readily see the loop car
from uptown. Thus it Is not uncom-
mon for some Of the passengers to
crowd on to the through car until the
loop car comes in sight and then for
the remainder TO make a mad rush
masses of people and vehicles
for a car which is already in motion.
Yet this practice could be readily end
ed if the starter was supplied with a
and an elevated position
from which he could survey all of the
tracks.

ANCIENT DENTISTRY IN ECUADOR

That the art OF filling teeth with for
eign substances was known to various
aboriginal TRIBES of the Americas
hundreds OF years before the Column
bian era, perhaps even a thousand
years ago. is a fact that has been
known to archaeologists for some time.
Among the leading anthropologists of
this. country is DIR. Marshall II. Saville,
Loubat Professor of American arch
aeology In Columbia university. in his
scientific Investigations in the west
coast provinces OF Ecuador and Col
umbia he has made many valuable dis
coveries. His first visit to this region
was made in the summer OF 1906. In
a communication to the International
Congress of Americanists held at
Vienna IN 1905. among other interest
ing details was the following account
dealing with the subject of decoration
Of the teeth:
Another custom which we found in
Esmeraldas. and which, so far as we
are aware. IS not present in any other
part of South America, is the decora-
ton OF the teeth by the insertion of
fnlays in small perforations cut in the
enamel of the upper incisors. This
custom OF decorating the teeth was
quite common in various parts of Mex
leo. where different settings were used.
In the Mayan area, as far south as Sal
vador. the object most often used for
the inlay was jadeite. In Mexico. for
example in OaXaca, | have found |
hematite used: in Vera Cruz, turquoise
has been found; and in other parts |
teeth with settings OF rock crystal. |
Dbsidian, and a red cement have been

custom in Colombia or Peru. but in Es-

A WISER INVESTMENT.

Instead OF buying half a dozen tour
ing cars for the use OF the heads OF
city departments the city commission
might better buy two or three service
cars and invest any surplus funds
which are left in repairing the second

been shown that the old pump in its

poses or whether at times IL may have

a mooted question. The general con
sensus of opinion among anthropolog
lists is that ornamentation was the
sole object"
Last summer Professor Saville re
turned from another archaeological
| trip to South America with numerous
valuable specimens. among them be-
ing one of unusual interest, described
by the professor as follows:
"In the spring of 1913. a Cholo, one
OF the natives OF Atacames, a town in
the province OF Esmaraldas, about IL
miles southwest of the city OF Es-
meraldas. found a skeleton In burial
tube on the right bank of the Rio Alta
canes, just above the town. The skull
was found with the teeth inlaid with
gold, but the finder contented himself
with breaking OFF the superior maxil-
l.ry. throwing the rest of the skull
away. When / visited the town in
June of the present year for the pur-
pose of making some excavations to
supplement my former work, OBJ
tanned the fragment. The two upper
middle teeth are decorated by the in
sertion of thin gold disks in cavities
drilled or bored in the enamel of the
fact of the tooth. An unusual dental
feat. in addition to the decoration, is
found in the right middle tooth. This
is not Il right middle incisor, but a
right lateral incisor which does not |
belong to the jaw but was implanted to
replace the middle incisor. This is
such an extraordinary feature that we
must weigh very carefully the evil
ience as to its having been found in
he law. Indeed there is no
reason to doubt that the replacement
IS a genuine triumph of the ancient
dentists of Atacames.'
Another skull showed teeth that had
been "face-crowned" with gold, the
