turquoise ever found In America, and far exceed.

ranging in size from tiny toy affairs to some as

large and small water jugs, and black, undeco-

like.

with their dead by throwing them into the graves,
and this was likewise the case with other house

The site OF Hawlkuh covers an area Of about
1W BY $50 feet, 70 that only a comparatively
small part Of the site WINS excavated during this
season. The refuse was found to attain a depth
OF IAN feet In the western slope. and It will
probably be found to reach a depth Of at lenst
IL feet before the walls Of the summit Of the Gle.
walton are reached.
An Interesting discovery consists Of the remains
Of many wills entirely beneath this great deposit
OF refuse, showing TINT the site WINS occupied In
prehistoric times long before Hawlkuh itself was
built.

Very few Of us would eyer think OF
ordering orchid ice cream without a
little tremor Of the pocketbook, for
everyone knows that the orchid is the
most expensive Of flowers. But there
are thousands Of persons who eat or
child Ice cream daily. Although they
probably have not been aware Of the
distinction. 1t Is none the less n fact.
OF course the Ice cream Is not ordered
by the aristocratic name Of orchid.
On the contrary. 1t bears the very pie

There are said to be no less than
$4,000 varieties Of orchid scattered
over the earth. All Of them have the
peculiar artificial beauty and the
haunting odor that seem inseparable
from this flower, which looks almost

these $4,000 varieties, only M hns any

much to the care of the Indian farmers, for the
Indian was an able pomologist. 1t was not I'M
usual $50 years ago for Indian orchards to have
1900 trees, all of which had been duly pruned
and cultivated by the people we are prone to re-
gard as nomadic savages. To the world the Indian
introduced such fruits as the persimmon, the paw
paw, the pineapple and the Virginia strawberry.
Primitive as the manual part of the farming OF
the Indians may seem, their agriculture did very
well with the facilities which were available.
Science points strongly to the theory that the
horse had Its origin in this Western world, but
the animal disappeared many aeons before the
aborigines appeared. The Indian had neither
horses nor bullocks. and had he developed q pillow
he would have had no animals to draw it. He had
no wheels, rakes or such devices, for the wheel
had never been in use among primitive races Of
the Americans. The dog-drawn litter, or travels,
was about as near as the Indian ever got to a
wagon. His agricultural implements were few
and simple. What with his hoe and mattock. his
willow rake and his planting stick. he had run
the gamut of tools. What he lacked In equipment
he made up In enthusiasm and skill.

Washington, u. Can expedition organized by
The bureau Of American ethnology Of the Smith
sonian institution and the Museum of the Amer
lean Indian. Heyc Foundation Of New York City.
under the immediate direction of Mr.. F. W. Hodge,
ethnologist in charge OF the bureau mentioned,
has just concluded It's first season Of eXcavating
among the ruins Of Hawikuh in western New
Mexico. This pueblo was one Of the famed
Seven Cities of Cibola." which was seen by Mar.
cos de Mia. a Franciscan friar. in 1899, and was
the scene Of the death Of his negro guide and com.
panion. In the following year the pueblo was
stormed by Francisco Vnsquez Coronado, the ce!e.
brated Spanish explorer. who almost lost his life
In the attack. The Zuni occupants of Hawikuh
fed to their stronghold n few miles away; the
Spanish took possession Of their village, which
Coronado called Grenada, and while there wrote
his report to the viceroy of Mexico, giving nm
account of his expedition up to that time and
sending various products of the country and e-
amples Of native art.
The excavations were commenced mt the close
of May by Mr.. Hodge. assisted by Mr.. Alanson
Skinner and Mr.. L.. +. Coffin of the Museum Of
the American Indian. Work was begun In a great
refuse heap forming the western slope OF the ele-
walton on which Hawlkuh is situated. This refuse
was found to contain many burials Of Zuni dead,
Of which there were three types--remains ere.
mated and deposited In ~cinerery vessels accom-.
panied by food and water vessels; others buried
at length, or In abnormal pOstures without accom-
paniments; and usually ~dismembered; others
still deposited at length with head directed east-
ward and with them numerous vessels Of earth.
enware. great quantities Of food, and the per.
sonal tools and ornaments Of the deceased. In
all, 297 graves were opened during the three
months devoted to the work in which quantities
of pottery vessels Of various forms and with O
great range Of decorative painting. were uncov.
cred. Among burials Of the third type mentioned
were several skeletons Of members Of the Zuni
Priesthood Of tho Bow. with their war p~arapher.

A Franciscan mission was established ut Hawi.
kuh in 1889 and continued In operation until 1910,
when the pueblo was abandoned on account Of
Apache depredations. Considering the length Of
