will be a Encouragement Of data con-
corning the ruins left by prehistoric man
in the south and the southwest The re-
mains in various sections can now be
classified more exactly and many things
which were mysteries can now be ex-
planned. The discoveries made under the
auspices of the museum may prove to be
of as much Importance TO this country
as were the explorations made in the
caves of Spain and France. in which
there were found strata which revealed
the manners and customs Of thousands OF
years before the taper Of history was lighted.
The specimens which Mr.. Nelson found
in the ancient dwellings in the land of
the mesas include not only pottery but
stone axes, millstones, stone polishers
for floors, many axes of fine workmanship.
knives Of flint, avis, needles, beads and
scrapers of bone, and numerous orna-
ments made from shells evidently brought
from the Pacific. These objects were
found in great apartment houses, some
Of which must have held a population OF
$500 persons each.
Many Of the old abodes where mankind
lived in such communal way are shaped
like half circles, with the diameter built
across. The outer walls were high and
sheer and in the inside the stories were
in terrace form so that the top Of one
story was \ garden which the tenants OF
the floor above might enjoy. There
were found numerous skeletons, which
will be stuffed in connection with the
vessels and offerings found in the graves.
The collection will be especially useful
in contrast with the recently installed ex-
hibit showing prehistoric man In Europe.

but seemed depressed and begged the
doctors to make him well. He kept NOV
ing his legs and struggling his shoulders
continually and would always lie on his
hospital cot with his legs drawn under
his chin.
When he was hypnotized he was able
70 remember all the events that had
happened to him. He remembered the
direction from which the shell came, how
be was lifted up by 1t and how he fell on
his back. The physician told him that
when he awoke he would not have
headache and that his twitchings would
De gone and that he would recover his
spirits and his memory.
When he did awake all his spasmodfc
movements ceased and he was able to
stand, absolutely free from headache and
spasm. His memory had come back and
he looked another man.
Another successful case was that of a
private thirty-two years old, who was
not able to say a word but could read
and write easily. II was buried alive on
and again on . and then I had
the misfortune to have two shells burst
over me on ." he wrote for the
physician.

How the Aboriginal American Lived

IT T was in a refuse heap that Nels c.
Nelson, of the American Museum of
III Natural History, found enough things
to give him a pretty clear idea of
the aboriginal tribes who occupied the
southwestern part Of this continent
many, many centuries ago.
He found in a refuse heap, near an
ancient pueblo or community house,
thirty miles from Santa Fe, New Mexico,
relics which evidently date back from
1000 to 1000 years. The strata show
the rise and the decline of the races of
the southwest in the industrial arts, and
especially in the making of pottery.
The old tribe of the Tanos, whose col
lapsed dwellings are at least two thou
sand years old, lived in the regions over
which the expedition has been carrying
on its work. The refuse heap, which
was about ten feet high, has on its lower
layers broken pottery, implements of
stone and utensils of all kinds which
show race emerging from savagery.
The pottery, which is so good an index
Of the civilization of a people, appears in
this early stage as crude, marked by
primitive designs. 1t becomes more fin
ished in the stratum above. The race
has learned how to burn it red and to
decorate it in two colors. Then comes
a period of perfection almost in their
ceramic art, for the forms are beautiful

bered was Of being on guard and of
digging himself out Of the fallen sand
bags.
After that he remembered running to
the shell trench but found 1t too hot"
and returned to the firing line, going to
his dugout, where he noticed his eye
sight was defective.
He lay covering in the dugout each
time a shell came and tried to get into
the smallest possible corner" At night
he came out to do guard duty but some
body noticed that he was making strange
movements that we're spasmodic
At the hospital it developed that he
had been in France eight months and
that four months before he had been
shaken up considerably when four or five
bombs threw dirt over him. After that

peared and his complete health returned
Later he was transferred to a base
hospital and then for three weeks to a
hospital in England. His recovery was
complete and he has rejoined his regi-
ment.
Another private, whose age was about
twenty-three, was taken in at a casualty
clearing station. He talked much about
the Germans sending over "whizz-bangs
and coal-boxes" in reply to French she'll
ing and spoke about having got pitched
up into the air." The last he remem-

DRY for these two days was completely
gone The two men finally came across
French artillerymen who directed them
to their regiment
He did not remember how he had
got his food in those two days. He
said he was unhurt, although he had
found a piece of shell in his tunic, but
that the first time he had been thrown
on his back by the shell and that he had
suffered from pains in his back and head
and from insomnia.
His understanding was slow and his
look vacant. His arms ierked a great
deal and every once in a while he made
a noise like a snore. He was unable to
raise his arms above his head and could
not keep them raised in front of him

and lustrous glaze and well blended
colors appear.
Apparently for several centuries there
was a high type of civilization. Gradual
ly the secret Of making the glaze dis
appears. The formula is lost Expert
ments follow. The Tanos potters are
mixing glazes which run from the designs
and blur them when heat is applied
The shapes of the jars and bowls return
to an ugly crudity. The markings on
them show a race which has become
trresolute and unskillful. Then the max
ing of glazes becomes an entirely lost
art, and the vessels are so crude that
they seem to show the relapse of the
people into what they we're centuries
before.
The period of deterioration might be
traced from these remains to the Spanish
conquest, in the sixteenth century.
Either the Spanish provided some sub
stitute for the pottery which was then
made or period Of decentralization ex-
tended throughout the land.
The vessels which Mr.. Nelson has res
cued from oblivion are mostly in frag-
ments, and this will be the task of
piecing them together again. He &C

Tanos bowl, which may be 1000 to 1900

danger of being smashed by the young
hopefuls of the family, but for all that
this precious archaeological relic survived
and will be placed on exhibition.

Even with his eyes open he failed to
touch his nose with his index finger and
he stood unsteady. The only vowel he
could initiate was a and the only con-

and for trembling when he heard a gun

The editor of The Eagle receiv-

same day this week. One came
to "call him down" for the favor
able mention he had made of a
third party, while the other COM
plimented him on the early pub
lication of the report of the COM
missioners on the north and south
railroad. The first visitor, who
has received dozens-aye, scores
of complimentary notices in
The Eagle, was so jealous and
envious that the mention without
criticism of anyone else was like
gall and NORWOOD, and not to
be tolerated for minute. The
second visitor was broader mind
ed, and with no thought of per-
sonal likes and dislikes, looked
upon the construction of the north
and south railroad as blessing
