- SCIENCE -
MYSTERY

L A. MITCHELL-HEDGES,
i noted explorer. scientist
and big game hunter, recently
turned over to the British mu-
scum an object that battles
science. II Is the mummificd
body OF a child that was the
chief fetish OF the practically
unknown Chucunauue Indians,
OF the Panama mainland II
was used in making magic"
The strange part about II is its
wonderful preservation. This
shows knowledge OF a high sci
entific order. The process is en-
tirely unknown 10 science. and
IL far in advance OF the
mummy preservation practlced
by the Egyptians.
The Chucunaque Indians also
understand the process Of
shrinking human heads. In this
process the features retain their
life.like appearance, altho great.
~ reduced in size. and even
the hair of the eyebrows is
perfect. Other Indian tribes In
South America also understand
this shrinking and embalming
process How Il is done remains
a mystery to scientists. Solu-
ton OF the riddle may reveal
remarkable facts about high
civilization that existed ages ago
and today is unknown.

Texas History Studied

LEGATION since the organization Of
the association. Through this me
dium, articles have been published
which have practically reconstruct
ed the history Of the state from the
coming Of the Spanisrds TO the
annexation Of the republic by the
United States, DR.. Ramsdell said.
A greater amount Of space is now
being given over TO the history Of
the state since annexation.
One Of the richest and most
abundant sources Of history has
been found to be letters, diaries,
reports and the like by individuals
intimately connected with the life
Of the state in the early days, who
had little thought Of the light they
were throwing on passing events.
