FIND PYCMY RELICS
Scientists Unearth Queer Bones
in California.
Skulls Suggest Existence Either of Lit
tie People or Strange indian Os-
tracsm--Interestin Cooking
Utensils Also Found.

Los Notwithstanding either a
race of hitherto unknown pygmies, OF
the ostracizing of the unfit by the
aborigines of the Pacific coast, 81
strange malfOrmed skulls and other
interesting remains have been dug w
near here by De Moss Bowers and
Charles T. Brown, amateur archeolo
gists.
Whether the relics are of pygmies
or primitive form of eugenics is
question / can't answer" said Mr..
Bowers. ''The skulls are by far the
80 years of excavating for Indian re-
mains in California. The malfOrma'
ton CT the skulls may be highly sig
nificant.
Though / can't answer whether
these were the skulls of the unfit, the
morally depraved, who had been os-
tracized, or those of pygmies, l can
answer another question. 1t is that
these are the skulls of fully grown
men and women. The maturity OF
the teeth shows this.
I'm the grave we found ollas or
cooking bowls of steatite serpentine
bowls, and knives of ebert, affixed to
redwood handles by asphaltum. Now
steatite is found only en- Santa Gaia

pentine are known outside of San

sion Indians. Bones from the head of

were used as the head and fOotstone
Of the burial cairn, though the burial
place is nearly 100 miles from the
sea.
"A mystifying find in the cairn was
a baked clay bowl. The Indians of
Arizona and New Mexico knew how
to bake clay, but those of California,
so far as we know, did not. 1t might
be that we have here strange iso-
lated tribe that is related to others Of
which we know nothing.
Copper vessels of Spanish work
ranship were also found in the grave,
along with Venetian blue beads and
stone and shell beads. This liking for
ornaments shows that the tribe was
not Gepraved below the esthetic level.
Some shell ornaments were also
found of a boring SO minute that it
suggests that these pygmies were
artificers of no mean ability. Fine
specimens of fishhooks were also dug
up, together with the ear ornaments
of shells"

This hat, becoming to almost every
