EXPLAINS THE MERMAID MYTH
for Mythical Creature They
Thought They Saw.

OF course there are no mermaids
such as have been depicted to US by
imaginative artists for many centuries
-nytj cal creatures. half woman.
half Gsh, with long waving tresses-
but Fl IS interesting to note that more
than half the ancient pictures of mer-
maid depicted the creatures sitting
on a rock iu the sea combing their
hong hair and looking int a small
hand mirror.
Where did man get the idea. that
mermaids possessed combs and mir
rors? At first one might think 1t
evolved through the belief that mer-
maid imam once believed they ex-
istedl ali possessed long hair. and.
possessing it, naturally did what all
ONE do-eombed it.
And because women have always
used mirrors-even the prehistoric
women used pools of water for this
purpose-these old artists gave their
painted mermaids mirrors and combs.
Bur this is not true 1t was no sup
posit-n on the part OF the old artists.
They made their pictures frcm the de-
scriplion that thousands of old sea-far-
ing men gave men who actually be-
lieved they had seen mermaids. And
these men frequently quite as solemn
ly avowed they saw the mermaids with
comb and mirrors.
Not the least strange part of all
this il the fact hat many of these
old sailors really believed they had
sger mermaids. There is 40 doubt
that they saw seals, or. more likely,
the sea calf. This peculiar creature
has a habit of half raising its body out
o. n water Away blck in the olden
days, when there were few sailors
IA they mad not saled far in any
Tart r Of the globe he sight of a
sea calf was a strange, weird thing

EARLY SETTLERS
IN THE NORTHWEST

Deep under inches Of rooted turf.
workmen have unearthed the first
evidences of early settlers presence
ia the northwest, indicating that as
early as 1903 hardy French voyagers
had pushed their way up the st.
Croix river and settled.
The find. which furnishes the first
material proof of the pioneers pres
enee at that early date, aside from
Father Hennepin's written nara
tive. was discovered on the Mime
sofa side of the st. Croix near the
lower end Of the Interstate park at
Taylor's Falls, and the workmen I'M
covered the primitive fireplace and
hearthstone IF some early white man
builder. for the Indians of that day
neither knew nor used a hearth or
fireplace.
The latter, as the unearthed foun-
cation shows. was built after the
roomy fashion Of that period, made
about four feet square and piled sew
eral feet high, with rough masonry
or traprock and sandstone and a
hearth of evenly laid flat rock. The
earth on either side of the three sides
of the hearth is still mixed with the
ashes of the ~voyager's fire, and here
and there can be found moldy bits of
bone, doubtless thrown aside from
tn emeal of wild turkey and deer.
There can be no doubt, say those
best fitted to know, that this ancient
fireplace is the first i~ndisputable proof
the meal of wild turkey and deer.
The three who first worked their
way up the St. Croix in the last cen
fury were Franklin Steele, Ed Baker
and w. Fl. G. Folsom. The first two
named at once laid claim to the st.
Croix falls, recognizing its value for
power. Folsom, however, knew more
of timber and logs than the promo
ton of future power plants, and Sc
leeted a site Just at the south end of
a little island in the river. now known
as Folsom < island. put there a saw
mill and logged lumber down the st.
lcroix to the Mississippi.
This was in ls45. Immediately in
front of his sawmill door grew a fine
blackberry tree. which he estimated
then at fully $50 years. Just a few
feet to the south OF that he found
the remains of a still earlier pioneer
in the hearth and fireplace.
The blackberry tree. its position
showed. had gown since the passing
away of the rough cabin of the early
conner. The same blackberry tree still
stands. and woodmen are agreed that
it is easily more than 200 years Old.

After the lights had been lowered the
