studying the hier0glyphs the author
explains that IN Maya inscriptions the
glyphs ara usually arranged IN paral-
lei columns and read two columns at q
time from left to right at the top.
Some inscriptions. however. occur In
horizontal bands. in which case they
are read from left to right, taking
two glyphs at q time. Unlike the Egyp-
tians, the Maya complicated their
writing BY varying and %augmenting
their elemental forms until O com
plete symmetrical picture. filling the
whole allotted space, was evolved. For
this reason there appear to be many
forms with the same meaning, which
have to be analysed for their essential
characteristics. In some cases two en-
tirely different forms represent the
same thing, and again the writer's in
dividual peculiarities In style caused
variations which are puzzling to the
student. Careless drawing and even
the material employed also caused va
riations and difficulties, which. togeth-
er with those mentioned. have led the
author TO use another form of clnssi-
ication than by appearances alone.
He advocates an arrangement into
two groups, the first consisting Of the
glyphs used In counting, and the sec
ond, those having an explanatory
meaning. Most of the glyphs whose
meanings have been determined fall
within the first group. though the
names Of the principal gods, the signs
Of the cardinal points and their asso-
ciated colors, and some glyphs with
astronomical Significance. are included
in the second. .
Mr.. Morley says that the theory
most generally accepted is that the
Maya glyphs are chiefly Geographic,
each presenting some complete
thought. although they are sometimes
phonetic also. This kind OF writing
has been called ikonomatic, but II is
more Familiarity known to US as rebus
or puzzle writing. The picture of an
EYE. for instance, recalls not an eye
but the sound OF the word. and al
the personal pronobn I, the principle
being that of homophones, or words
and characters which sound alike but
have different meanings. such as were
used also by the Aztecs in their pic
ture-writings.
Maya Time Reckoning.
The writer devotes a chapter to
Maya time reckoning, another to ar'th-
metic: he then enters into a detailed
study and translation Of the inscFip-
tions found on monuments. and finally
takes up the texts drawn from the Co
dices or hieroglyphic manuscripts
It was due to Mr.. Morley's re-
searches that the oldest dated anti
guilty in America was recently identi-
fed and described by the Smithsonian
Institution; the Tuxtla statuette dated
100 B. C.

than one-half allowed their pigeons
free range. Barley. rye, sorghum seed,
and prepared mixed pigeon feeds were
additional feeds mentioned. Most
farmers who did not keep their pi-
geons confined fed only grains which
they raised, such as corn, wheat ald
oats. Twelve per cent mixed fine salt
with grit and oyster shell, and 5 per
cent fed the salt dissolved in the
drinking water. oyster she'll and grit
were supplied by most breeders. A
few used special tonics during the
molting period. Only 80 per CEN re-
ported the use Of tobacco stems or
leaves, as agair-t so per cent among
the larger breeders.
The diseases most frequently men,
toned were canker. going light, and
roup. The principal method of treat,
ment was prevention; by keeping ev-
everything clean. using dislnfectants
freely, and killing sick or diseased
pigeons. Remedies mentioned for pre-.
venting sickness were the use of kero.
sene oil, permanganate Of potash, lime,
copper sulphate. carboiic acid. quassia
chips, epson salts, venetian red. tine,
ture Of gentian, or a tonic in the drink.
ing water. Dry sulphur and diluted
peroxide Of hydrogen were used in
treating canker, and kerosene oil foT
roup. A few allowed diseased pigeons
their freedom when they had beeG
kept confined. About one-fourth re
ported some loss from rats, but most
of the larger breeders made their pens
r%at-proof. Losses from hawks and cats
were reported in some cases where the
pigeons were allowed their freedom.

pair of breeders varied from 20 cents

LEGS AND LIVER OF CHICKEN
Make Hens Scratch for Their Food,
Advises Poultry Expert-Fat
Fowls Make Records.

There is a correlation between the
legs and the liver of a chicken. Liver
activity is absolutely necessary for
egg production, so make the hens
scratch for their food, is the advice Of
N. L. Harris, superintendent Of poul-
try, Kansas State Agricultural college.
"All grains should be fed in a deep
litter" says Mr.. Harris. "Oat straw
or alfalfa hay is good for this purpose.
Hens should be fed literally but should
not be fed until they are willing to
work for their food"
There Is an old-time fallaey that a
hen can become o fat to lay. Elk
periments have been carried on to de-
ternine the laying ability Of fat and
lean hens and in every instance the
fat hens have outlaid the lean ones
The egg begins it's formation with the
yolk, which is practically all fat, and
so it is absolutely essential that a hen
have excess fat before eggs are
formed. A hen does not cease laying
from IN oversupply of fat in the opin-
ion OF Mr. Harris, but because her legs
and liver are not working to their full
capacity.

FIND 20 INDIAN SKELETONS
Superstition That They Were Buried
Near Where They Fell
in Battle.

Oregon City, Ore.-whiIe excavating
for a basement near the river bank
men employed by Frank Busch have
uncovered 20 skeletons Of Indians in
one hole.
The bodies are supposed to be the
remains Of Indians killed In battle. for
in one or two cases arrow heads have
been found caught between the bones.
The first trace of the bones was
found early in the week when the
workmen uncovered a skull. It was
buried by itself and Mr. Busch. who
has studied the find carefully. believes
that 1t belonged to a chief OF leader.
To prevent disturbing the bones the
workmen began e~xcavating in another
place and they found a hole with a
radius Of about six feet which Mr..
Busch estimates contains the bones
Of at least twenty Indians The skele-
tons are lying like the spokes of d

About oLe-half supplied tobacco

used pine needles, cut pea-vines, and

Unusual Case Tried Over Bones
Of MastOdOrin Tennessee
Court.
BOYS MAKE THE DISCOVERY
Courts Are Asked to Decide Whether
the Remains Belong to Disoow
erer or the Owner
Of the Farm.

Halls, Tenn.-An unusual case has
Just been tried over the bones Of q
mastodon by the Lauderdale county
circuit court at Ripley, Tenn. A few
weeks ago two little boys. David Oar
nell and Cherrell Boone, were setting
traps on the farm Of N. d. Salisbury,
Eve miles northwest Of here. One
OF the boys hurt his foot on what
they thought to be the end OF a large
horn. Their Curiosity was aroused
by the unusual size of the object, and
the Boone boy went for his father
to assist them in digging It out.
Tusk Weighs 80 Pounds.
The father, Ellis Boone, came with
implements, and dug out a tusk
weighing 9S pounds and s feet
8 inches long. Another tusk was
found, but was broken in prying It
out Of the ground. A jawbone with
four teeth was unearthed. The teeth,
when removed from the bone. weighed
FIVE and a fourth pounds each and
were in perfect condition. Several
other bones were found.
There wac also found the jawbone
OF some other animal, with the teeth
in it. The back teeth Of this animal
are an inch long and worn. denoting
that It was very aged when IL died.
Salisbury commended that as the
bones we're found on his farm they
were his. He had them r~eplevined
from Boone. Boone %contended that
by right of discovery they should be
his.
