Mummies Found in Steam
Heated Cave; Vault Kept
Warm by Volcanic Fires

The mummified remains of 10 Aleu-
tians were found in a steam-heated
cave on Raganil island recently, and
IL Of them have been taken to the Ma
tional museum at Washington. The
cavern that served as a burial vault
was kept warm by volcanic fires. The
mummies were wrapped in skins and
nets, and were completely dried up. 1t
is supposed that the ancestors of the
present island natives mummified
their dead because they did not wish
to part from them, and not for any
religious reason. Their method was
to wrap the bodies in the skins and
intestinal membranes of sea mammals,
place them in squatting attitude on
wooden trays, and hang them up in
dry caves. Many of them found are
undoubtedly very ancient, but Of the
origin and history of the race little is
known. The Aleutians spoke the Rus
sian language when the islands passed
into the possession of the United
States, along with Alaska, in 1867.
Then until 1884 they were left to gov
ern themselves. They have now for
gotten the Russian tongue, and are be-
coming Americanized. Most Of them
live in clean wooden houses and wear
American clothes. The women weave
wonderful fabrics of grass, SO finely
plated that they resemble silk.

From South America.

Washington.-The apparent Increase
in American imports from European
countries in recent months Is more
apparent than real, according to DR..
Philip 3. Kennedy, director of the bu-
reau Of foreign and domestic COM
merce. Because most Of the imports
received from European countries,
where the American dollar commands
a large premium, are valued by the
custom house authorities at the par
of exchange rather than at the 60
ing rate in the exchange market, i'm
ports from those countries are valued
at considerably more than their actual
worth in the official statements is
sued by the department Of commerce.
Doctor Kennedy explains this situa-
ton as follows:
Situation Explained.
"The situation results from the
close association of collecting duties
and collecting statistics Dutiable
value for assessing ad valorem duties
is the foreign value converted into
American dollars. The conversion Is
made normally at par according to a
statement based on the gold content

that country the paper Ira Is admit
tedly worth less than the gold Ira
and our consuls can accordingly GER
tify as to the percentage of deprecia-
ton. In France and Great Britain on
the other hand paper money Is still
legally at par with gold although the
difiiculties Of effectlng conversion are
serious.
This was the situation up to the
middle of this month, when the pres
ident amended the consular regula-
lions so as to permit consuls to GER
tify to the exchange rate between the
local currency and the American dol
lar. AS soon as this regulation comes
into effect-that is, as soon as the in
voices that are now being certified by
our consuls come up for entry-the
statistical values reported will be the
actual value of foreign moneys as
shown by the prevailing exchange
rate. But for the past the values re-
corded for many foreign countries
have been too high by the difference
between the current exchange rates
and the par value of foreign coins.

but still something that really exists.
For Instance, you pick up an empty
bottle and say: "There Is nothing in
it"-but there Is air in 1t. When a
person is taken Ill he may say: ut
is nothing" but 1t may turn out to be
something that will result In his death.
Then again the expression, "He began
life with nothing" means that he be-
gan with very little. II have done
nothing all day" means that I have
accomplished little. not that I have
actually done nothing, for that would
be impossible. Such uses of words
are proper. according to common sense
as well as authority. Dryden wrote !:
"'Tis nothing, says the fool; but, says
the friend, this nothing, sir. will bring

There We're also large gains from

In sections where low temperatures
