Indiana Rullt Of stona.

Ruins which are held by archaeolo-
gists to be the forerunners Of the
Pueblo cliff dwellings have been exOa-
waited and explored In the Texas Pan
handle by w. w. K Moorehead d.
rector Of an expedition sent out by
the University of Pennsylvania. Pro
lessor Moorehead believes that the In
dams In the Canadian and Cimarron
valleys were the first to desert the
buffalo tepee for stone construction.
Later these housing pioneers. In his
opinion. moved west and built their
famous cliff dwellings in the Colorado
River valley and other parts of the
Rocky mountains.
The expedition has worked through
four counties In northwest Texas and
several counties in Oklahoma, and
has observed about one hundred stone
foundations, usually In groups of a
dozen or more. but situated In almost
inaccessible canyons and Wild places.
The foundations range from three to
five feet deep and apparently support
ed structures very much like the Mex
lean adobes of today.-Detroit News.

According TO Mr.. Paine. the arti-
Giles of Capt. Sellers often began: my

conditions and recite incidents and
comparisons dating as far back as
1911. To the younger pilots on the
Mississippi. among them Samuel Gle

of Capt. Sellers afforded much amuse.
ment. In an attempt to further this
amusepent, Samuel Clemens wrote
preposferous story Of cruise he was
supposed to have made In the year
176S. the ships crew being Choctaws
and the captain Chinaman. The
story was satirical Of the writing of
Capt. Sellers and was thought to have
much literary value. Upon the insist
ence OF one Of his friends Clemens
permitted the article to be published
In the True Delta in May. 1859. Capt.
Sellers never wrote again for the
newspapers-his literary pride had
been wounded.

eral hfndred houses were damaged,
scores of persons were thrown from
