The American Museum of Natural
History the library of the New York
Historical Society, and the Dyckman
House in Washington Heights have
splendid collections of such articles
which have been found by the Field
Committee. The bulk of the work has
been done by Mr.. Bolton and Mr.
Calver, and the latter besides I'M
earthing innumerable objects which he
has donated or sold to the museums
and historical societies, has amassed
collection of British regimental but
tons and other articles connected with
the English troops which is probably
one of the finest in existence. Some
years ago he unearthed in upper
Broadway buttons which had been
worn by soldiers of the Twenty eighth
and Forty-second British regiments
during the Revolution. The buttons
were found side by side, evidence that
the two regiments had fought and
camped together. Some of them he
sent to the commanding officer of the
present Forty-second British regiment
and learned later that, curiously
enough, the two regiments were in the
same division during the war with
Germany.
In searching for signs that there
are articles of historical value be-
meath the surface of the ground, Mr..
Bolton and Mr.. Calver, who always
play their game Of discovery together,
use an interesting method. Their i'm
plement5 are the pick and the shovel,
and above all a peculiar utensil
which may be called the divining rod.
This contrivance does the work for
which the old fashioned divining rod
used to be called upon, but does it in
a different way. With it they find out
what is beneath the surface of the
earth, and by means of it they get on
the trail OF relics that have lain out
OF sight in from five to ten feet Of
earth during an uncertain number OF
centuries.
These rods are of steel, strong,
slender, and sharp at the end,
and they are plunged straight down.
ward into the earth. AS the physi-
clans probe hits the bullet. or tho
sailors lead plumbs the bottom, so
does the divlning rod in the hands Of
the antiquarians hit the things be-
meath the solid soil. But the rod, of
course, does not do all the work. It
will strike things, but 1t takes a finely
trained hand to tell what 1t has struck,
and both Mr.. Bolton and Mr.. Calver
have been plunging these steel rods
into the soil of Manhattan for so
many years that they can tell imme-
diately almost exactly what it is that
they have found.
How the Rod Speaks.
eff the rod strikes stone" says Mr..
Bolton, there is no mistaking the
quick, sharp stop in the progress
downward. When 1t goes through sand
or through clay the hand feels It and
knows IL. though the sensation would
be hard to describe. When It hits
metal, shells, pottery or any soft, dis
migrating bony matter TIM sense of
touch recognizes the object at the
other end of the STEEL Each substance
that we encounter has its own feel,
which training has enabled us to de-
tect, Take oyster shells, for example.
"In hunting for Indian relics they are
among our best guides. for they are
plentiful about the old Indian villages
and camping places along the shore.

Indian. to which Mr.. Bolton and Mr.
Calver gave much of their collection
when II was formed. Since its for
nation the Historical Society ex-
plorers have devoted most OF their
time to digging up and discovering
Revolutionary relics. while the search
for relics of the Indians has been I'M
dertaken largely by the Museum. Mr..
Calver. however, made the first i'm
portant discovery of Indian relics on
Manhattan, an interesting story of
which is told by Mr.. Bolton in his
pamphlet, THE Indians of Washington
Heights"
at was in the spring OF $780," says
Mr.. Bolton, that, during a search for
Revolutionary relics Mr.. Calver be-
came acquainted With James McGuey,
resident of Inwood, with whom a
casual observation of the ground at
Seaman avenue and Academy street
was made. Here a number of arrow
heads and q hammerstone were dis
covered, together with a fragment of
Indian pottery. This little surface find
started the explorers interest in this
direction, and McGuey extended his
Investigations to the land on the south
side of Dyckman street, where he Sc
cured a number of fragments of pot
terry. The wanderings of the first two
explorers led them to the shell heaps
at Cold Spring Hollow, where their
search was rewarded by many objects
of aboriginal character. Others were
found by them at the foot of Dyckman
street near the Hudson River bank,
and at large shell heaps near the
Kngsbridge road CBroadway) on the
line of the present ship canal A soap
stone pipe was found near the same
highway, bearing upon it crude rep
resentation of human face. At 209th
to Filth streets, along the shore of
the Harlem River, a number of shell
deposits proclaimed the one time pres
ence OF the Indians, and with them
were found bones of deer and split
bones of other animals, although the
surface of these deposits had been
much disturbed by the ploughs OF the
DyclImans.
Near this spot, on January 27, 1895,
Mr.. Calver found the first of the dog
burials which since then have been
discovered in a number OF places
around Inwood Vale. This skeleton,
together with fragments of pottery,
was found beneath a compact mass Of
oyster shells about eighteen inches
deep. The skeleton was incomplete
and evidently disposed at the bottom
of the pit with intention and care,
probably indicating that the animal
was sacrificed in some such ceremonial
as the white dog feast OF the Onon~
Gagas, which has survived to recent
times. OF these burials one was found
at 209th street and Ninth avenue, an
other at 210th street and Tenth ave-
nue., another among n series of pits
around the base of the hillock, in
! which was found the remains OF the
negro slaves Of the early settlers, at
212th street and Tenth avenue. The
latter was opened BY Edward Haga-
man Hall and Mr.. Calver and found
to contain, with the skeleton of a dog.
fragments of vase. Other pits at this
place contained the bones of "A turtle
and "A snake. and one contained large
fish bones, possibly the remains of a
necklace.

WARSAW, Monday. December 30
Renewed activity by Ruthenian and
bolshevIst forces at Lemberg is re-
ported in an official statement issued
by the Polish army headquarters here,
They are said to be attacking Wig
orously south of that city, having
heavy German artillery.
The POLES are said to have been
forced to fall back. 1t is said that
the forces commanded by Petlura, the
Ukrainian peasant leader. are joining
in tht attack.
1t iB possible that If more troops are
sent to Lemberg the expedition
against wilma, reported in bolshevist
hands, will be embarrassed. There are
not men enough for both operations.
The Polish chief of staff has been
unable to maintain communication
with the allies because of the use of
the wireless telegraph by the Ger
mans. He is also unable to use the
telegraph and in addition has not
cohde for use in laying the situation
before the allied commanders.

1918 TIRED DAN CUPID
Little God Made a Record for the
Whole Year, But Staggered
in December.

Dan Cupid was loath to part with 1918,
as he had succeeded during the last
twelvemonth in recording more con-
quests than in any preceding year in the
history of the National Capital. Ac-
cording to Col. W. A. kroll, the chief
lieutenant to the little god, nearly 40
more marriage licenses were issued dur
ing the last year than in 1917. which
had held the record for the District of
Columbia A total of 6,310 licenses were
applied for during the year, as compared
with 5,841 in 1917.
While business has been good since
the signing of the armistice, Col. Kroll
thinks that the war was responsible for
the great activity shown by the record
breaking figures.
The number of licenses secured in De-
cember, 1918. shows a decline from the
figures of the corresponding month of
1917. The exact number applied for last,
month was 522. while more than eco
licenses were issued in December, 1917.
