The Tomahawk. [volume] (White Earth, Becker County, Minn.) 1903-192?, 1915-12-16

vt APPEARS strange that the
greatest of American prehistoric
ruins, those now inclosed in the
4 Mesa Verde National park in
southwestern Colorado, should have
escaped discovery until 1888. Years
before, innumerable ancient ruins left
in several other states by the ances-
tors of the Pueblo Indians had been
described and pictured. They had
been the subjects of popular lectures;
they had been treated in books OF
science and books Of travel; they had
become familiar American specta-
Gle. Even the ruins in the Mancos
canyon in Colorado we're explored as
early as 1874. w. H. Jackson, who
led the government party, found there
many small dwellings broken down by
the weather. The next year he was
followed by Prof. w. H. Holmes, later
chief of the bureau Of American eth
nology, who drew attention to the re-
markable stone towers so character
istic of the region.
But these discoveries attracted little

to the better-known ruins of Arizona
and New Mexico. Had either OF the
explorers followed up the side canyon
of the Mancos they would have then
discovered ruins which are, in the
words of Baron Gustav Nordenskiold,
the talented Swedish explorer, 80
magnificent that they surpass any
thing of the kind known in the United
States"
This explains why delivers in H.
braries find so little about the Mesa
Verde. Most books and magazine
articles were written when cliff dwell
ings were novelty.

Baron Nordenskiold thus describes
in his book, 1.-THE Cliff Dwellers of the

~ AR OUT in the middle of the
South Atlantic ocean, 1000
miles from the coast Of Africa
L and 1900 miles from South
America, lies the rocky little island of
St. Helena, one of the many outposts
of the British empire. Discovered by
the Portuguese. about 1902 and settled
by the Dutch in 1916, it was taken by
the English in 1857 and almost con-
tinuously since then has been held
by them as a naval station. Its eco.
nomic and commercial Importance is
almost nil, and it's population is only
about 5000, but it's name will live for
ever, for to that: distant rock one hun
dred years ago Napoleon Bonaparte
was taken by his conquerors, there to
spend his remaining years in exile
under strictest guard.
There for six Years the man who
had dominated and re-made Europe
lived in such state as was afforded by
the somewhat meager allowance made
him, and there, on May 5, 1921, he
passed away. During all this time
several thousand troops and fleet of
warships were maintained at st. Hell
ena to prevent the escape of the great
Corsican.
Once again, many years later, the
island was put to similar use by the
! British, for during the South African
fwar Of 1S99-19O2 nearly 5000 Boer
prisoners, among them General Cron-
je, were sent there.
The island is crown colony and is
administered by governor and a
council.
Among Oldest Land on Globe.
Because of it's isolated position, its
peculiar fauna and it's very remark
able insular flora, together with it's
geological character, scientists believe
st. Helena is amongst the oldest land
now existing on the face of the globe.
1t is said that out Of sixty-one native
species only two or three are found
in any other part of the world.
The natural strength of the island
lies in it's compact form and size to-
gether with it's inaccessible coast,
formed by an almost uninterrupted
belt of rocks which rise perpendicu-
ilarly to height Of 600 to 1900 feet.
From the sea the lofty hills divided
by huge assures and deep gorges al
