Prehistoric Culture in Ohio.

Digging into the tomb OF mound
builder chief near Newark, o., scien-
lists recently discovered ancient
trinkets which they declare establish
the fact that the stone-age inhabitants
Of the locality belonged to the same
tribe whose earth monuments are
found In other parts Of the state,
notably Ross county, where similar re-
search work has disclosed surprising
evidence of prehistoric culture. The
sepulcher Is located near the flint quar-
ries from which aborigines obtained
material for arrOwheads and other I'M
plements. 1t Is made of small stones
and is buried In a circular mound In
earth about thirteen feet high. The
chiefs skeleton indicated that he
was man nearly six feet tall and
over average weight. Underneath the
bones was found what is considered
the most important article taken from
the excavation, a copper gorget, be-
lieved TO have been a token Of authori-
ty or rank. Other objects of interest
were copper earrings, an armlet Of the
same material and beads made from
sea shells. which evidently had been
worn as a neckpiece. and are deScrib-

WON BY sHAMMING INSANITY
Turkish captors by Period of
Feigned Madness.

Are they really lunatics or brilliant
actors:
Sceptical Turks and British asked
the question as they looked at the
weird, CHASTITY figures of Lieutenant
Jones and Lieutenant Hill in the
prisoners ward of Turkish hospital
in the early days Of the war
Here is picture of Lieutenant HILL
As described by another British off,
Ger:
"A tousled Scarecrow of man. His
long, untrimMed hair hung over his
unwaShed neck, his cheeks We're sunk
en-, his hands were clasped over the
bed-elothes that covered his shins. He
never looked at US but with an express
sion of the most answering austerity
continued TO read a book that lay
open on his knees. AS l passed l saw.
from the ruling and paragraphing OF
the pages. that it must be a copy Of
the Bible"
Jones was in bed opposite. His
face was unusually white. The young
forehead was divided and subdivided
by deep wrinkles; golden beard
tufted from the chin; the head was
covered by a too large fez, made OF
white linen.
He grinned and waved an arm
toward the Turkish orderly. / am not
English he protested, in Turkish. i
am a good Turk. The English are my
enemies. wrote TO his excellency En-.
yer Pasha, telling him I wished to be
come a Turkish officer"
The reputation of these two officers
as lunatics had spread through every
prison-camp in Turkey, says the writer
who tells the story in "Blackwood's
Magazine" But they were not mad.
They were feigning madness the whole
time in order to recover their free
dom And they won through.
As soon as the British vessel on
which they We're shipped had left
Turkish waters they miraculously re-
covered
1t was one Of the most amazing
cases of malingering on record. The
marvel Is that Hills mind did not give
way under the ordeal. For twelve
hours a day he sat up in bed reading
and re-reading the Bible. He showed
no signs of interest in anything; pray
ed aloud for nearly half an hour morn
ing and evening in the presence of
dozen people, and never smiled
a task which required almost inhuman
concentration. Jones, on the other
hand, acted farce instead of tragedy.
and both men completely duped the
Turks
