 As regards stoning and a surfac- ing of screenings and sand the trunk highway is now completed from It's starting point in Bethel to Pine Tree Corner. There remains to be applied the four-inch layer of bitum1nous mixture, a process begun at the northern end but proceeding very slowly because of delays in obtaining the materials for it from New York. The strike along the New York water front and car shortage are the main causes of the trouble.
 The burial of the Il months old daughter of Walter Lilley, whose death occurred in Danbury with pneumonia as the cause, took place in the Ridge cemetery last Sunday afternoon The funeraI>~ party was about an hour behind the appointed time in arriving and as Rev.

 being reduced through education of
 girls of the leading families of the
 outlying provinces, according to
 Frank w. Carpenter, retiring gov
 ernor of the Department of Mindanao
 and Sulu.
 MT. Carpenter is here to turn over
 administration of his office to the
 Secretary of the Interior who will act
 through the Bureau of Non-Chris-
 tian Tribes in accordance with a new
 territorial law. This law leaves in eff
 feet treaty under which the Sultan
 of Sulu renounced all pretensions to
 temporal sovereignty but gained rec
 ognition as ecclesiastical head of the
 Mohammedan church in the Sulu ar chipeligo. The treaty guarantees to
 the Sultan and his people "the same religious freedom had by all adherents
 of all other religious creeds, the prac- tice of which is not in violation of the basic principles of the laws of the United States"
 '-It is important to note,'' said Car penter in one of his messages written as governor, that this includes a linn itation as to religious practice which necessarily includes the abandonment of polygamy. There can be no ques- tion that it will disappear as the relative number of persons of the two sexes reach an approximate natural equality.
 "An effort to impose upon the peo- | pie of the Sultan at this time the in- | validation of polygamous marriages heretofore contracted, the prohibition | at this time of polygamy or the dis | continuance of divorce, must unavoid- | ably result in the active resistance of | a people imbued with fanatic deter i imitation to die rather than submit 1 to a privation of their religious lib | erty in matters they believe to be ! fundamental and sanctioned by divine l authority.'
 | MT. Carpenter said that girls of l prominent families in Mindanao and l Su1u are being sent to Manila public | schools where they associated with | Christian girls and gradually become | imbued with the homogeneous ideas
 held by the Christians. The girls are | advised to adhere strictly to their own l Mohammedan religion as their influ- l ence, it is said, would be destroyed if 1 they abandoned it. When they re- 1 turn to their own people their irflu- 1 ence tends to eliminate plural mar
 riages, according to Carpenter, who | predicted that the practice will be | virtually wiped out in the course of | a few years.

For lack OF a better theory, It has long
been accepted as fact that the New World
was originally peopled by Asistics who
crossed by way OF Bering Strait. The
Strait, being only forty miles wide, and
frozen over in Winter, this idea was un-
deniably plausible. But there have been
serious objections II that theory were
correct. how explain the fact that in pre-
Columbian days there was no civilization
worthy of the name north OF Mexico
whereas in the latter country. in Central
America, and IN Peru there were peoples
with highly developed arts, Industries, and
even literature?
How explain the fact that these adj
vanced peoples had traditions and customs
wholly different from those OF the North
American Indians2
All the evidence points TO the conclu-
sion that their ethnic stocks were derived
from sources not the same as those from
which came the North American tribes

-7AS there in far distant prehistoric
.N/ times a vast continent where now
w is the Pacific Ocean-a conti-
nent covered with great forests, threaded
by deep rivers, studded with tremendous
mountain peaks and dotted over with
stone cities, the homes of the people OF
this lost land?
Professor William A. Bryan, who holds
the chair of zoology and geology in the
College of Hawaii, believes he has found
evidence of the existence of such conti-
nent in the shape of little fresh-water mol
luscs which he discovered on the island OF
Juan Fernandez, just off the west coast OF
South America.
Juan Fernandez is the island made IA
nous by Robinson Crusoe. That worthy
was never more surprised to see the foot
print in the sands than Professor Bryan
was to see these molluscs. They closely
resembled species found upon Hawaii-but
how had they crossed the thousands OF
miles of sea between the two places?
The islands of the South Pacific are, OF
course, Dut the suHLnits VI suphoieou
mountains.
There is, however, no unassailable
evidence that the mountains whose peaks
are the islands were once all above the
surface-forming continuous and con-
tiental land mass
Yet IL the molluscs found by Professor
Bryan turn out to be the identical species
as those on Hawaii they form very con-
vincing evidence indeed of such condi-
ton. For there are no means by which
they could have found their way from
Hawaii to Juan Fernandez or vice versa
than along the courses of rivers! And
IL there were rivers there must have been
land for the rivers to flow through
lands, that Is to say, extending from
Hawaii to the coast of what is now South
America
And IL such bridge is proved one
of the most battling mysteries of the
world will be in fair way OF being
solved--the riddle of the pyramids and
ruins both OF Central America and South
America, so like those of Egypt, their
legends so like the Northern African ana
Asiatic, and a civilization with such strik-
ing similarities to that of Asia that 1t has
seemed impossible not to have been In
