During the summer the indians go

and a camp of them is usually situated
on the Miami river just outside the
city limits. Here in a tropical Jun

erect their huts with matched roofs

the communal camp fire in the center.
The number in this camp varies from

Report Extraordinary
Survival of Animal Life

An extraordinary survival of the
animal life of 100000 years ago has
been reported as still Furnishing in
certain parts of South America The
little animal, which looks like a sharp
nosed rat, with rounded ears, slender
tail and soft brown hair, was discov-

Osgood of the Field Museum of Nat
ural History.
In "A Monographs Study Of the
American Marsupial, Caesnolestes, -
DR.. Osgood says: This little animal
is quite unlike any other now living
in the world. Although it does not re-
semble closely any species now living,
it is very intimately related to animals
which flourish far back in geologic
times, when the foundations were be-
ing laid for the evolution of the high
er animals of the present day.
"All the others of the group to
which it belongs became extinct ages
ago and Caesnolestes alone has sur

the last report of the Bureau of Pub

$17,630. Indiana has spent 1881, 1854
for 2S3 miles of road. and Ohio has
spent $24,107, 543 for 65S miles. The
cost per mile in Indiana amounted 10
about S34,910 while in Ohio about
$36,570 per mile was spent. Some OF
the costliest roads in the country are
in the east. In Connecticut, Rhode
Island and New York costs are in ex-
cess of $4,000 per mile.
