P. H, NILES
Civil Engineer

perience in both public and private
engineering enterprises that stands to
the credit of p H. Niles. He has been

important engineering enterprises for

distinction, demonstrating the highest
ability along the lines required and
winning the highest encomiums from
all who kept in touch with his work.
At present Mr. Niles is engaged in
the private practice of his profession

BUDDHIST RELICS
 FOUND IN TAXILA

Delhi, India, March 29.-(Special Corre- spondence of the Associated Press. )-A number of sacred Buddist relics, including bone of Buddha, have just been un- earthed at Taxila. near Rawalpindi, in the Punjab. VI
 When Buddha died near Kusinara about the year 4S3 B. C., fragments of his bones were distributed as relics to a large number of the more important re- ligious centers. A quarter of a century ago knowledge of these centers was meager and no authentic discovery of them has been made. Since that time however, several certain relics have been found.
 Taxila. long before Alexander the Great made It military center, was one of the holiest and most important Buddhist sites.
 The relics of Buddha that have been found there were protected in various ways. generally being placed in crystal box placed within covered or cleft bowl upon which the nature of the treasure is described. The workmanship on these cases is very fine. There is vast field of search still untouched in India, but the skilful and energetic work of the British Archaeological society has already cleared up many uncertainties. and identified many of the holy places of Buddhism, such as Kusinara. the scene of Buddha's s death, and Rummin-dei, his birthplace. But there still remain hundreds OF au- cient unopened stupas, or dome-shaped earth shrines, many of which may con- tain priceless material regarding this im- portant period. The most tantalizing of all are five grand stupas'' at Khatman- du. which the government of Nepal will not allow to be touched, and which very likely will not be opened for many dec- ades or even centuries.

 The silk exports were $ls.OO0O0o less than in 1913. but $1.5OO.OOO more than in 1912. i;i

 England. however, took slS0OO. GOO less, the exports dropping from $i2,OO0,OO0 in 1sss to ss4,OO0 600 in 1914. N Italy took s2o0,O0O more and Spain $500 ( 'Oc0 more in silks than in 1913.
 Exports of French velvets more than held their own.

FRESH DECLINES
SHOWN IN WHEAT
reports OF Large Increases in Euro.
pean Visible Supply Results in
Weakening of Prices.

Chicago, March 21.-Wheat under
went fresh decline today, Influenced
10 considerable degree by a decided
increase in the European visible sup
ply total. In addition there were re-
ports from Missouri feelings of fields
greening up that heretofore were in
doubtful condition. Opening prices
ranged from &c to 1Mc lower with
May at 10Sk@ 109 andJuly at 107 to
1O7ss but were followed by a slight
rally.
Later temporary upturn took place,
AIDED by better inquiry for export
wheat and by statements that domestic
winter wheat would start this season
with poor promise and that abandoned
| acreage would be larger than in any
year since 1912.
The close nevertheless was weak. Ac
to % q 1ac net lower with May at lOS7s
Q1.O9 and July at 1.07& Q1077s.
Corn showed weakness In sympathy
with wheat and because the stock of
corn in Chicago is now more than
ten million bushels. After opening Nc
off to &c up, the market sagged mod
erately all around.
| The market subsequently hardened
as result Of gossip that the Dutch
government was bidding for corn at the
United States seaboard. The close was
unsettled at &c to A0ssc net advance,
Oats gave way like other cereals
Higher prices on hogs tended to lift
provisions.
