Show t THE RICH COUNTY REAPER, RANDOLPH, UTAH Dickie Brings Help in Nick of Time Tools of Mystery Race Are Found by Scientists Rochester. Hidden for more than a thousand years on the shores of Oneida lake, a mystery Indian civilization has been turned up by a field party from the Rochester Museum of Arts and Sciences. Hammered copper implements and an unusual variety of 'pottery were discovered under ground, Dr. Arthur C. Parker, director of the museum, said. Never before, he said, has hammered copper been found under ground, although plenty has been picked up on the surface. William A. Ritchie, assistant archeologist of the museum, who headed the party, said that the articles found by his men show skilled workmanship. There is evidence also that the ancient workmen changed the forms of their products. For example, an adze was reshaped to a chisel. The field has yielded barbed harpoons and barbed fishhooks. Five or six skeletons were dug from a large bone pit. Dr. Parker believed that the ancient Mrs. Christine Toth, seventy, of Lucaston, N. J., fondling her pet said helived between 1,000 and 2,000 people poodle, Dickie, after the dog had been instrumental in saving its mistress life recently.

There are more chickens in China than there are Chinese. China is the worlds greatest egg exporter, having almost a monopoly on supplies of egg yolk and egg white dried or frozen separately. In addition to the use made of them in American bakeries and confectioneries, the former is employed in tanning leather and the latter in dyeing cotton cloth, thickening ink, surfacing paper, and making photographic plates.
