Discoverer Of Monte AIban Prehistoric
Tomb; ArcheoIogist Of National
Museum Of Mexico

OAXACA CITY, Mexico, Jan. 20.
For days we had been excavating
at Monte Alban, the ancient fort
reSS-city, now mountain of ruins,
near this city in southern Mexico.
AT last our picks and shovels I'M
covered the entrance to the ancient
Mixtec Indian tomb that was to
prove so interesting and rich in
treasure and archaeological evil
denceS.
We entered the tomb through an
ante-chamber, approached by a pair
OF steps. AS we made our way with
in we found that there were two
rooms, separated by a portal. The
first OF these rooms has a fiat cell
ing, but the second is 8, gabled
vault with ceiling like an inverted 5.
Find Carved Bones
There we saw dead warriors, six
of them, seated around the walls,
jewel covered, and ornamented
with gold and other precious things.
The long years had dealt severely
with them. We found that their
skeletons had practically disinte-
grated during the many decades
since they had baen placed there.
Near them we're many extraor-
binary objects-gold, silver, cop
per, jade, turquoise, shell, pearl,
coral and other materials.
These precious articles were i'm
mediately removed under guard to
the vaults of the Bank of Mexico
for safekeeping.
Human bones, beautifully carved,
were found in the tomb, and
promise to be of the greatest scien-
tif1c interest. They are carved with
a technique not surpassed by fine
Chinese work on ivory.
History Is Pictured
The various engravings upon
these portions of human skeletons
picture happenings of history. They
also have worked upon them de-
tails from the ritual calendars used
by these ancient Indians.
Thus the carved bones are veri-
table leaves of books, books of
human bone used to record in
formation important to this ancient
race.
A sacred mask that represents the
Indian god, Xipetotec, is one of the
ornaments of gold. Xipetotec was
the god of the flayed, in whose hon
or a woman was beheaded, and the
skin of her body worn as dress by
ritual dancer.
Diadem Is Found
A diadem of gold, breast orna-
ments of gold, bracelets and neck
laceS, all of gold and beautifully
worked, were among the treasures
of the tomb.
An unusual bowl of rock crystal
and several beautiful alabaster YES
sells we're in the mass of treasure.
Many pearls also were found, some
of unusual size.
A human skull, richly encruSted
with turquoise and shell, was prob
ably some ancient warriors trophy.
When it was found it had a flint
knife resting in the hollow of the
nose.
Those who explored this ancient
tomb with me we're Martin Brazan,
second leader of the expedition;
Juan Valencuela, and my wife.

Away Feathered Horde.
Riverside city nursery today was
recovering from several recent de-
vastating visits by an immense flock
of birds of a type unknown to nur-
Sery employees.
Several nights the birds swooped
on the nursery, breaking tree limbs,
keeping up a constant chatter and
flying around all night, according to
Andy Miller, nurseryman.
Miller said the birds somewhat
resembled blackbirds, having black
bodies spotted with grey and yellow
beaks.
Monday night employees of the
nursery were forced to discharge
shotguns to drive the birds from
utility wires which were in danger
of breaking from the weight of the
feathered horde.

became secretary of commerce in
1921. 1t was believed this has been
reduced, both by liquidation of
profitable investments when he took
Office, and because of recent large
charitable donations and philan-
thropic enterprises.

LECTURE AT LIBRARY OF

IN the auditorium of the Library Of
Congress the Rev. Dom Anselm
Hughes of Nashdom Abbey, Bucking-
hamshire, England, gave an illuminat-
ing talk yesterday afternoon on
medieval music before good-sized
audience that came, pencil in hand,
from pure interest in this branch Of
music. The lecture, sponsored by the
Plainsong and Medieval Music So
ciety, was illustrated by phonograph
records, made by the choir Of the Ber-
lin State Academy Of Church Music
and the Winchester Choir Of England
from rare manuscripts.
Dom Hughes is an eminent authority
on plain chant, having spent 20 years
Of his life in extensive search and COM
pilation, sometimes finding his ma
terial under most unusual circum-
stances. He has unearthed and pieced
together some of the rarest and most
valuable of these priceless early COM
positions, thereby facilitating the trac-
ing of the obscure beginnings Of har-
monic music.
He told how the science Of music
was carefully guarded by the church
and how its highest expression was
found in the mass. From the time Of
St. Gregory it had followed an un-
changing form. Then a sudden de-
parture from the old form was made.
To a few melodic notes sung by a
group of voices, another group was add
ed, then intervals were attempted and
then more intervals until an intricate
cross-working Of melody was realized.
Thus was the first step taken that,
leading through devious and doubtful
paths, has brought us to the present.
