BONES OF HISTORIC RACE
AnthropoIogists Intensely interested in
Discovery of Indian Skeletons
in California.

New indications that California was
once inhabited by race of gigantic
Indians was furnished when sewer dig
gers on Ferry and Howard streets, in
the heart of the business district of
Martinez, CAL uncovered an Indian
burial ground with skeletons meas
uring more than seven feet.
Several skulls and one well-pre-
served skeleton are to be given over
to the investigators of the amhro-
pOlOgy department of the University
Of California. The skulls and skele-
tons are declared to be of highly i'm
portant and scientific value,
Discovery of the burial ground has
revived an old Indian legend that an
immense treasure of gold nuggets
was Inferred with body of a chief
of the ancient tribe Of the giant In
dians SO convinced are the residents
in the truth of this legend that great
crowds have thrOnged around the
sewer diggers, largely hampering
their activities, and more than a
score of persons have applied to the
municipal authorities for positions on
the city's sewer-digging crew.
According to the ancient Indian
legend, the vast gold treasure was
buried in close proximity to where the
bones We're recovered.
Eight years ago William Altman,
curator Of the museum in Golden
Gate park, San Francisco, declared
that skeletons unearthed near Con
cord were the most valuable cOntri-
buttons to the scientific investiga-
tons of Fthe states prehistoric In

HAVE MANY HUMAN TRAITS
Scientist Who Has Studied Monkeys
Makes Interesting Report Con-
corning Their Habits.

Monkeys tiirt and make love. They
love to dance, and have some steps
that could be converted into modern
dances for humans. Like humans,
they are social creatures. They work
and play and rest together"
These are few of the conclusions
reached by Professor Doflein OF Bres-
lau, who has been experimenting re-
Gently with a number of monkeys and
chimpanzees from Guinea and the
Kamerun,
He discovered that they made espe-
cially strong friendships. Two Of his
chimpan2eeS, Nan and KOnsul, were
inseparable, while the whole company
showed a tendency to cling together.
The monkeys have a rhythmic
sense and respond quickly to dance
music. They have several distinct
games of their own, resembling chllds
play, and likewise indicate some signs
of military training, for they march
sOldierike.
Professor Dohein discovered, too,
that monkeys have many of the
facial expressions and many gestures
of humans. They can easily register
pain, surprise, admiration, tenderness.
They have language of their own.
They are quick to warn each other Of
danger. They have regular greetings
Their alphabet is similar to the hui
man. but they can understand Span
ish more readily than other tongues.

Mint Once Privately Owned.

Uncle Sam didn't always have a
monopoly on coinage and printing
bills, nor did he have any particular
laws governing his money. Then one
day three men opened mint of their
own in Denver, and out or this mint
grew the United States mint in Den
yer; law forbidding private coinage
was enacted, law forbidding imitat-
ing a United States coin or bill and
various and sundry other laws that
Uncle Sam now has thrown around his
money and its production.
This private Denver mint, too, is
responsible for the thousand or more
men drawing good salaries to see that
these various laws are obeyed, and
courts and lawyers for many years
past have worked and are working
because of this mint.

ing delight for grown-ups as well. In it

JAPS ARE FAR FROM STOLID
Writer Declares orientaIs Have At.
tanned Self-ControI, but They Arc
Fond of Jokes.
Among the misconceptions in regard

Among the misconceptions in regard
to the japanese is the belief held by
TAty foreigners that they are StOld
people. One might search the die
tiOnary and not find an adjective less
applicable to them. They have, it is
true attained a Self-contrOl that de-
ceives superficial observers, but under
this restraint is all The fire and motion
and effervescence of the Latin races
or the Celts. one expression of this
volatile and effervescing spirit is
quick wit and a keen humOr. A very
slight acquaintance with japanese art
will reveal this quality expressed in
many fOrmS-in designs for fabrics,
lacquer work, fans, carvings, brOnzeS,
screens and kakemOnO, and last, but
by no means least, in many of their
delightful illustrated books.
Comic pictorial work probably goes
back in Japan to the first immature
sketches of her earliest artists, and if
the greater part Of this work has been
lost in the serious religious art that
followed, there are still fragments that
indicate the humOr which animated
even the men Of the Yamato-ryu.
Among these early examples are some
drawings discovered a few years ago
on the pedestal Of one of the carved
wooden figures in the Nara museum,
The work belongs to the Tempyo pc
rlod eighth century, and was
found when repairs necesstated the
removal of the figure from its base,
Slight as the drawings are, having
been dashed off in a moment of wait
ing, perhaps, by some old artist priest
the technic in them Is by no means
crude or NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Mag
azine.

Tattooino Is Ancient Art.

Tattooing, that very apparent means
Of proclaiming ones love for the briny
deep, is an ancient form of adornment,
and in ancient times most honorable,
The POlynesians are known to have
been adopts in the art, and from that
time to this there have always been
people who have been attracted to
this form Of beauty.
These decorations have taken all
sorts of forms, from the plain black
and white work to that in the most
varlegated cOlorings, to say nothing
Of the method of cash" tatOOng
which consists Of cutting deep gaShes
in the desired design, filling them with
clay and then letting them remain as

"Buckinq the Tiaer.n

"Bucking the Tiger" is bit of
American slang meaning to gamble,
or, more literally, to play against the
"hOuse" or bank" in a gambling den,
where the player has no chance to
win. 1t Is probably derived from Chi
nese idoatry, the Detroit News states.
A favorite figure among the Chinese
gods of chance is tiger standing on
his hind legs and grasping a large
cash (piece of money! in his mouth
or his paws.
The name of the beast is "His Ex,
cellency, the Grasping Cash Tiger"
and this high-sounding title is some
times written on a piece of paper
which is placed on the gambling table
between two stacks 81 mock money.
