The seat, unlike many a stiff throne for European kings, was made with a k effect, and had short legs at out four inches high. Scrollwork adorned the wood. Like Those on Watling Island. This village discovered by Mr. Krieger is at Hamilton cave on Long island. Long island was one of Columbus' three stopping points in the Bahamas when he made his famous voyage in 1492. Indians of San Salvador or Watling island, where Columbus first landed, were of the same native type and group. Science has heretofore depended mainly on Columbus' journal for information regarding these Columbus called Indians. them the Lucayana. Mr. Krieger's search for archeo-logicremains has produced cumulative evidence that these Indians were Arawaks who migrated from Haiti. That is, their ancestry linked them with South American Indians rather than with tribes to the north in Florida. They had trade relations, however, with Florida, for their pottery and other objects bear some clues to contact with that relean-bac- long-vanish- ed al gion. They Had Flattened Skulls. Skulls found by Mr. Krieger show that the Indians met by Columbus had heads flattened front and back. This was a custom among Indians in Haiti, but not in Florida, another fact pointing to southern origin of these Bahaman natives. Proof that these Indians used tomahawks of stone, with wood handles is announced by Mr. Krieger. Heretofore, only the stone weapon heads have been found, and these were taken for "celts" or unshafted stone axes to be held in the fist. Wood handles have now come to light The discovery is another that links these Indians with southern origin, for such tomahawks were made in South America. Modern Negroes of the Bahamas ' sometimes find the stone heads of these tomahawks, and superstitious-l-y call them "thunderbolts." the Dutrh an according thropologist. Dr. W. P.

The oldest metal statuettes of men and women ever discovered have been un earthed in ruins of a temple in Syria, dating from 3300 B. C. Quaint stiff little figures with solemn faces and arms folded or bent sharply upward, these copper statuettes are believed to represent grds of war and goddesses of fertility. They were discovered by the Syrian expedition of the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago, at Tell Jedideh. The male figures wear silver helmets almost hiding their eyes, and the women have silver curis or an elaborate headdress. self-start- er er vote-gett- Caught in Middle of a Revolution. They were looking forward to a decent meal and something better than swamp water to drink. But as they approached the town they heard firing in the distance, and as they came closer they saw that Coro was virtually in a state of siege, surrounded by government soldiers. An- other one of those South American revolutions had sprung up overnight, and Coro was no safe place to be in What to do? You know those little South American revolutions are sometimes more cruel and bloody fought with less regard for human life than the big wars of Europe. If they went on they'd be right in the thick of it And if they turned back over that long jungle they might starve before they could cover the distance to the nearest town. While they were deliberating, the matter was decided for' them. Half a dozen soldiers appeared suddenly on the road ahead and began firing. Frank pulled the Mr Norwegian down on the ground. He whipped out a white handkerchief and waved it The soldiers took them prisoners, marched them into town. They were searehed and questioned.

Scientists of the Optical Society of America heard of the baffling glowing property of a mineral known as Hackmanite. This mineral has been known to science since it was discovered, first in Greenland, back on a Danish expedition. in 1906-0- 8 O. Ivan Lee, mineralogist of Jersey City, described how Hackmanite exhibits a beautiful color when first fractured into pieces but how this color quickly passes when the fresh surface is exposed to lignt. Mr. Lee's discovery is that this striking and characteristic color may be revived at will if the mineral is exposed to light for a short time. While kept in the dark the color persists permanently but exposure again to ordi nary light promptly makes the color fade out. n pheThere are two nomena which cause materials to clow in a fashion somewhat like Mr. Lee's new discovery. They are flu orescence and phosphorescence. The glowing, however, is nei ther of these for the color seen is different in shade from the mineral's fluorescent or phosphorescent way was through dense jungle, full of snakes and animals.

He was elected governor last November. He is a Democrat, and his political skill and experience have been largely parochial, with no very definite orientation in national affairs, but on his own home grounds he is hard to beat. This department recently became interested in him on account of so many political railbirds insisting that he was a to whom the nademon tional party must in time give serious attention. He has a big, bulging Jaw and physiral bulk in proportion, and, if he weren't so amiable, might seem formidable. He played center and guard on the Boston college football team, but, with a nice sense of comparative political values, prefers to talk about his marbles cham pionships at an earlier age. In many such instances he has disclosed sound political instincts. Only for e years old, he hits Massachusetts politics with tremendous momentum.
