FIND 20 INDIAN SKELETONS
SuppositIon 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 q skull. It was
buried by itself and Mr. Busch, who
has studied che find carefully, believes
that It belonged to q chief or leader.
To prevent disturbing the bones the
workmen began excavating 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 q
wheel with the skulls in the center.

SUMMER CORSETS IN CHIFFON
combine Liohtness Of Weight with
Wearing Qualities That May Be
Called Remarkable.

One of the daintiest accessories for
the bride or bridesmaid for that mat
ter is the corset of Powered chiffon.
No woman who possessed blouse of
the best quality chiffon but knows
how 1t wears, how it washes and
cleans and bears strain and pressure
out Of all proportion to its apparent
fragility. The new corsets made of
three thicknesses of chiffon are boned
with transparent composite reeds and
fastened with backalite clasps. A
great amount of hand work is put upon
them, and a small collection exhibited
recently in New York shop was en-
broidered with sprays Of blossoms and
trimmed with real lace.
A very pretty new sports model is
laced down both sides Of the front
about four inches apart. A narrow
panel of silk elastic Is inset at the
sides to give perfect freedom. The
newest models are rather high in the
bust, with a prominent incurve at
the waist and distinctively shorter in

fashion back and front.
Another innovation Is the taffeta cor
set made of pastel-tinted or pompa-
dour-flowered silk to match the elabo-
rate plated and rufied petticoats OF
the season.
The corsets are to be worn beneath
the thin summer dresses without any
camisole and with merely q net under.
bodice to veil their charms.
Corsets of silver cloth. while they
were very much used during the win
ter. are not shown for summer. and
upon the whole the silver lace CANT
soles to be worn under evening dresses
of black and colored tulle are rather
more chic. But the line of the corset
top, the thick portion Of the camisole
and the upper edge Of the bodice or
girdle are identical and the fashion for
the very close-sheathed figure. espe-
cially at the waist line, tends to elimi.

HeIne's Monument In Paris.

Paris has its monument to Heinrich
Heine. 1t is at the tomb of the "liber-
ated Prussian," in the cemetery of
Montmartre. But no more, as former
ly, does the little basin at the foot Of
the pedestal contain the cards of Wis

the custom of depositing their cards
there when they went to the tomb Of
the poet. q pilgrimage recommended
by Baedeker. II was quite rare that
a week should pass without many new
cards ornamented with German names
to add to the heap that had accumu-
lated in preceding weeks. Today there
is not a single card. In the little basin
where the winter leaves a little rain,

conclude from this like the project Of
police, that there are no more Ger
mans in Paris. But this without doubt
would be an error.

studying the hieroglyphs the author
explains that in Maya inscriptions the
glyphs are usually arranged in paral
lei colu0ns and read two columns at q
time from left to right at the top.
Some inscriptions, however. occur in
horizontal banda In which case they
are read from 1T to right, taking
two glyphs at a time. Unlike the Egyp-
tians, the Maya complicated their
writing by varying and auEmenting
their. elemental forms until Q 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 pulling 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 CLASH
fication 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 1t 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 means
the personal pronoun 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 srith-
metic; he then enters into a detailed
study and translation of the inscrip-
tions found on monuments, and finally
takes up the texts drawn from the CO
dices or hieroglyphic manuscripts.
1t 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.
