RITES OF MOUND BUILDERS
Hew "Bundle Burials" and "Burials In
the Flesh" Were Conduct by a
Ancient Race.
After an Indian mound has been
cleared mid surveyed It is tripied of
the surface sod and excavated by a
series of trenchew. One mound, says
the Houlheru Workman, contained no
lea than 43 "bundle burial," with two
"burials In the fleuli" above of later
dale. ' Tlittte "bu'idle burials were
disarticulated skeleton that .bad been
taken down from tresis and made. Into
bundles. In each "bundle," as a rule,
were the bone of from two to four
Individuals. They were placed end to
end, lengthways, north to auuth, and
ftnrined s layer some ten feet long and
five fret wide. Ttey were plated on
a carefully prepared bed of alternate
layer of gulden and bright-red and,
evidently of ceremonial Import, and
surrounded by - aeveral stone altars.
On tliee, appropriate sarrlnVes were
made to the dead; there were sIkhk
of fire all about. Some half-burned
human bones In welt-preserved oak
charcoal were found near the tup. In
dicating that wiine poor captive had
been burned at the stake to mlnlxter
to the souls of the dead on their jour
ney to the happy hunting ground. In
the top strata were found two "kel
etmn, both of them strongly fixed,
with the knees drawn op to the chin.
They were evidently of considerable
age, but ' of later origin than the
"bundle" burials. In fact, all the
bones In this group of mounds showed
extreme signs of decomposition. It
was neceary to "jalnt" them all with
a trannfuelng fluid the minute they
were exposed to the air. These two
skeletons were perhaps the remains
of people who bad died during the
construction of the mctmds and were
given burial In the top of them.
REALM OF DEATH ON EARTH
Country kt the Vicinity of Mount Ve.
suvius Graphically Portrayed by
Gifted Frwnchwoinan.
The country at the foot of Vesuvius
is the most fertile and best cultivated
of the kingdom most favored by
heaven in all Europe. The celebrated
Lacrynia Christ! vine flourishes beside
land totally devastated by lava, as If
nature here made a last effort and re
solved to perish in her richest array.
As you ascend you turn to gaze on
Naples and on the fair land about it
the sea sparkles In the sun as if
strewn with Jewels; but all the splen
dors of creation are extinguished by
degrees, as you enter the region of
ashes and smoke, that announce your
approach to the volcano. v
The Iron waves of other years have
traced large black furrows In the soil.
At a certain height birds are no long
er seen ; further on plants become very
scarce ; then even Insects find no nour
ishment. At last all life disappears;
you enter the realm of death, and the
slain earth's dust slips beneath your
unassured feet. Madame De Stael.
Armenia First Christian Nation.
The Armenians are an Aryan race
and probably emigrated from Europe
Into Asia Minor centuries before the
Christian era. Their language be
longs to the Indo-European group of
languages. Their king was converted
to Christianity as early as 301 A. D.,
and Armenia then bec?nie the first
Christian nation of the world. The
Armenian civilization has been estab
lished for centuries. The position of
the country on the highway between
Asia and Europe has subjected it to
invasion and subjupttion at various
periods by the Assyrians, Medes,
Greeks, Romans, Persians and Turks.
From the Fourteenth century to the
late war, the greatest part of Armenia
was under Turkish rule. Their en
mity to the Turks rises from their
struggles as a nation to be free, which
have frequently been accompanied by
massacres of Armenians. America's
Interest arises from sympathy with an
oppressed race that has for so long
upheld Christian civilization In the
Near East.
Bayoneted Insects.
There is In Cuba a curious grass,
Cenehrus eehinatus, which bristles
with tiny sharp-pointed splkelets upon
which multitudes of insects are im
paled, by nipht as well as by day.
The wings of the victims- are pierced
and entangled by the barbed spikes,
so that most of them are unable to
get away, and thus perish miserably.
Even a large, luminous snapping
beetle, which is so strong and uctlve
that it can with difficulty be held in
the hand, fails a victim to these vege
table bayonets. It has been observed,
however, that two species of Insects,
a large bug, Oebalus, and an earwig,
readily free themselves from the
spikes. Minute Insects are not caught
The grass does not appear to derive
any nourishment from its prey. It Is
found elsewhere In the West Indies
nnd in southern Florida.

BELL CASTING IN OLD JAPAN
People Gather In Thousands to Why
neea Ceremony Which Has Deep
Religious Significance. j
The making of the bell In old Jnpaa
was accomplished by great and solemn
rites, Harjorle Latta Rarstow ' write
In Asia. For month, sometimes for
years, the community had been con
tribnllng of Its bronze and copper or
naments snd precious poaoemlnns.
For many days before the easting
there were prayers to determine the
auxpldous moment at which to begin,
and to put all splrltaal beings snd
ministers f grace In a propitious
mood. Pilgrims came from all tha '
nrronndlng country, for the Jspsnesa
of long ago loved a pilgrimage at
much as do their defendants today;
and made of their act of piety an op
portunity to enjoy a little festivity
and see something of the great world.
On the appointed day, men gathered
in their finest attire. Then the priests
appeared In rich ecclesiastical bro
cades and the workmen In robes beau
tiful and sanctified. With prayer and
ceremony the work reached Its climax.
The great molds were prepared and
the flumlng, molten mass, into which
had gone so ninny precious things,
was to them what the dedication of a
cathedral was to the believers of the
middle ages. Before their eyes and
with their own co-operutlon, some
thing intangible and divine assumed
shape and tangibility. Many went
away to become heroes In their vil
lages because they hud participated
In the making of the great bell, which
became more precious and mysterious
as time went on, and they passed on
to their children's children, even down
to this day, the souvenirs of the occa
sion. Inscribed with prayers by tha
presiding priests. '
RETAIN THEIR WILD INSTINCT
Herds of Tame" Buffalo rlav Muck
In Common With Their Brethren
Who Have Freedom.
The "tame" buffalo of Yellowstone
National Park, are tame only In tha
manner of speaking. They retain all
the habits of the original wild species.
For Instance, they are able, without,
fail, to predict a heavy storm for ona '
or two days In advance. As the buf
falo of the old plains were known to
do, they point the storm, standing
with the head toward the point from
which it afterward breaks. Another
sign of uneasiness induced by heavy
weather is the stiff-legged leaping and
running about in circles which often
mark the herd just before a storm
breaks on their range. They live prats
tically In all respects the wild life of
the so-called wild herd of the park,
with the exception that they are
watched by horsemen and are fed hay
during the most inclement weather of
the winter. The ranges of the tame and
wild herds overlap to some extent, and
without doubt thej occasionally Inter
breed. The original hope, which bat
not been realized, was that some of the
tame herd would drift off and become)
members of the wild herd.
Ant Engineers.
It has been found that the popula
tion of an ant hill has solved many
complicated mining problems. Thou
sands of ants working instinctively
perform miraculous engineering feats
with amazing efficiency and without
profiteering. Each ant finds Its own
work and the team work when the big
problems must be solved is surprising
ly efficient When one shift of workers
tires er must stop for food or rest Its
place Is taken by other workers equally
skillful so that not a moment Is lost ,
When an ant becomes covered with
dirt others Immediately clean it by
washing and brushing. During their
mining operations in digging holes and
removing stones an ant is often In
jured, whereupon others rush to Its
assistance and carry it to a quieter
gallery where first aid may be adminis
tered. The resourcefulness of these
little engineers nas been found to an
ticipate many of our recent efficiency
methods. Boys' Life. .
The Wrong Number.
Mrs. New Auto owner, all excited,
called her husband ever the telephone
at his office, and announced: "The
auto tags came by mail, but we will
have to send them back. Tbey sent
the wrong number." Business of con
siderable questioning from the busi
ness office end of the telephone.
Then: "Well, they're not the same
numbers we bad last year, so I
thought they had made a mistake."
Explanatory : The machine had come
Into possession of the family late in
the year, a license number was ob
tained that had six figures and the
husband got in early for a 1921 li

Anyway, the wife had a good laugh
at her own expense when the hus
band arrived home thstt evening. And
she Is learning something each day

Water Affects Varnish.
The varnish on some furniture Is sa
hard and smooth that finger marks
and soiled places may be removed
with a cloth wrung out of lukewarm
suds, made with white soap, and tha
finish restored by rubbing with a cloth,
on which a few drops of light lubri
cating oil or furniture polish has been
sprinkled. In many case's this Is a
good method to use on the tops of
dining tables, but in general it Is un
wise to put water on varnished, oiled
or waxed surfaces. Painted and en
ameled furniture may, of course, be
washed like any other surface so fin
