kcts were steady. this being evidenced
by the rally in foreign exchanges in
this market. Local supplies of call
money were unusually abundant and
freely obtainable in private loans at 81
and even 81 per cent
The recovery in the London rate of
exchange amounted to fully 81 cents
from Yesterdays minimum. French
and italian rates were Z to IL points
better, but neutrals. including Holland,
Norway and Sweden, again reacted.
South American bills were depressed
on selling at this center for London
account.
Responsive to the recovery in sterl
ing exchange British bonds rallied
smartly in today's broad but compare
lively light dealing. Continental. Jap
anese and Mexican bonds of various
descriptions were irregular. The
strongest feature Of the domestic list
was Reading As, which rose two points.
Final prices for Liberty bonds were
mainly a trif1e lower. Total sales, par
value, aggregated s12.790,0o0.

Il this wonderful collection in Man
haitian Square, New York City, which
contains some ten acres of floor space,
was laid by President Grant in 1877.
The purpose of this great "curios-
ity shop" is TO procure actual spec
linens upon which accurate knowl-
edge of the animals. birds, minerals
and other wonders of the world are
based and exhibit them for the edifica-
ton of the public
A few of the displays which attract
particular attention, the like of which
probably does not exist elsewhere, are !:
the largest known meteorite. brought
from Greenland and weighing 3e tons /;
an Indian dugout 641a feet long, made
from single tree; a section of q
California tree, Is feet in diameter
and more than 1900 years DID, a
life-size model of a 20 foot whale
probably the largest animal that ever
lived and which probably weighed 20
tons; mounted specimens of more diff
erent kinds of birds than you imagine
the world contains; collection Of inn
plements used by prehistoric man.
representing period Of approximate
ly 100000 years; exhibits of fishes,
including some so primitive as to
be scaleless; an exhibit of snakes that
gives you the creeps; an intensely.
interesting exhibit showing how dis
ease is. transmitted by insects, and
a library of some 10000 volumes on
natural history, travel and anthropol-
ogy.

to be the largest remaining work of
the aborigines north of Old Mexico.
Whence came these Mound Builders.
how long they remained and whittier

Scientists have failed TO establish the
definite period of time which their
construction represents. That these
monuments of prehistoric man direct

Of whose history we know little or
nothing there is. of course, no question.
1t is thought by some that the So
called missions of California, many of
which are falling into decay. are as
infants compared with these ancient
piles Of earth which stand in mute
evidence of the fact that, years be-
fore modern civilization. this section
was the seat of an empire of most
primitive race.
The greatest of these mounds is
