C. armor, worn in ancient battles in prehistoric Alaska 1,000 years ago, and weapons, tools and household articles that add greatly to knowledge of life in the Far North before the dawn of history, have been unearthed by a joint expedition of the National Geographic society and the Smithsonian institution. Preserved for many centuries in the perpetually frozen Alaskan soil, the relics furnish valusbl new knowledge of two fencient Eskimo cultures or primitive 'civilizations of Alaska, and fill important gaps in the history of the ancestors of the modem Eskimo," says the National Geographic society. , ' Old Eskimo "Thai Culture" The remain! were excavated during the past summer under the leadership of Henry B. Collins, . Jr., of the Smithsonian. Assisting ' him were James A. Ford of Louisian State university and Harrison Prln-dl-e of Washington, D. C. j The armor which th expedition uncovered was hihdi bt ilats of bone, similar to the slat armor used by some Asiatic tribes. Other finds included harpoon and arrow heads, fish lines of flexible whale bone, fragments of clothing, cooking utensils, combs, awls, needles, ceremonial masks and even, toys carved in exact llfttlatloft el d boats, ftfiimais, etc. Working at and near Cape Prince of Wales, westernmost point of the North American continent, the expedition excavated mounds of prehistoric rubbish accumulatsd over long periods from villages long since abandoned.

The archeologists uncovered the first site of the old Eskimo Iftule Culture ever found In Alaska. The Thule Culture was tha stage of development attained by the Eskimos previous to the stage they had reached when found by the first white explorers, and is characterized by certain types of tools, weapons, and art objects. Links Two Civilizations. The Thule culture spread all over Arctic North America and even to Greenland. While it has been known to exist in those regions for some time, the new finds confirm the important fact that it spread eastward from Alaska. These proofs were found In e mound located previously by Dr. Diamond Jenness of the National Museum of Canada, who made the first systematic excavations in Arctic Alaska. In the same mound the expedition found evidence that the Thule culture was derived from a still earlier one known as the Birnirk culture which once flourished in the region of Point Barrow. In successive layers downward in the mound, harpoon heads gradually changed from the Thule style to that of the Birnirk type. This establishes continuity between the two cultures and closes a gap that previously existed between them. Two miles from this location the archeologists found another older mound in which the remains were entirely of the Birnirk type. This was the first discovery of a site of the 'Birnirk Culture outside the Point Barrow region. In other mounds the expedition found remains of more recent times, and thus was able to piece together a complete picture of Eskimo development in that locality over many centuries." full-size- PRICE Fur Trimmed Coats, Fur Trimmed Coats Light on Prehistoric Eskimo Life.

' Elephants, as we in India know, of most are among the intelligent animals. Their sagacity is equal to, and often exceeds, that of the two other friends of man the horse and the dog. How exceptionally elever some elephants can be is revealed in the following true stories: In the teak yards of Rangoon, where troops of elephants are employed to stack the logs, the hours of working are from 6 a. m. to 11 a. m. and 3 p. m. to dusk. The elephants know to a minute when the time to knock off for the lunch hour arrives and no coercion by theif mahouts will persuade them to move a Single log after 11 oclock has struck. They will not even complete the job in hand. Down tools is their slogan and no trade unionist could be stricter in his observance of the rules. Tha elephants belief in trade union principles Is also illustrated on the rubber estates of Ceylon, where elephants are often employed The lateral to fell rubber trees. roots of the trees are cut through with an axe and elephants are put on to push the trees over.

His trunk will go up and he will advance to the tree, push his head forward and give a shoves. couple of experimental Then back he will go a step or two and turn his head away. Nothing, not even the goad, will persuade him to push again until a coolie with an axe has been summoned and those roots have been properly cut through. The elephant's long memory is well known and is another sign of his exceptional intelligence. Cases have been known of elephants beby mahouts and not ing them again for years, but seeing when eventually brought face to face with the offenders they have remembered them at once.

Gives Monkeys Fur Coats for Winter The Moscow zoo will put pants, fur coats and gloves on its monkeys this winter to keep them warm. While polar bears thrive in the Russian winter, tropical animals suffer from being kept indoors. Providing clothes for monkeys was comparatively simple, but when it came to the elephants the zoo was up against another problem. A huge light hall of 300 square meters was built for the pachyderms. The monkeys, shedding their pants and coats, can come into an artificial tropical wood. Quarters for them have bathrooms, a room and hospital dining with equipped Other animals are equally well cared for, and evidence their satisfaction by bearing young for the first time in captivity.
