C'eanlng Bagdad Rugs.
It Is very difficult to wash a Bagdad
iouch cover or rug successfully. The
colors are almost sure to run when
treated In the ordinary way. Before
beginning operations separate the
strips. Then wash each one In a sep
arate water.- . Use white soap and
lukewarm water to which a little salt
has bren added after a suds has been
raised by brisk stirring. Do not rub
the strips on a washboard, but merely
dip them Into the water and stir them
briskly, then quickly rinse them and
hang them over a clothes horse In the
kitchen away from the sunlight Be
careful when drying that the strips
do not overlap. When almost dry press
out the wrinkles with a hot Iron. If
the middle BtrlpB have become slightly
worn exchange them with those on the
outside, when sewing the cover togeth
er again.
THE TRUTH ABOUT BLUING.

IMPORTANT recommendations to
the Smithsonian Institution are
made by Jesse Walter Fewkes re
garding the treatment of the na
tional reserve created in northern
Arizona by order of former President
Roosevelt under the name of the Na-
vaho National Monument, In which
many Important prehistoric ruins are
to be found. Dr. Fewkes was sent by
the bureau of American ethnology to
examine these dwellings of the
ancients, and bis preliminary report,
which la now being published, sug
gests:
That one of the largest two cliff
dwellings in the Navaho National
Monument, either Betatakin or Kit-
slel, be excavated, repaired and pre
served as a "type ruin" to Illus
trate the prehistoric culture of the
aborigines of this section of Arizona.
-That this work be supplemented by
excavation and repair of Inscription
House, an ancient cliff dwelling in
West Canyon.
That one or more of the ruins In
West Canyon be added to the Navaho
National Monument and be perma
nently protected by the government.
Dr. Fewkes describes In detail the
three routes by which the cliff dwell
ings may be reached, tells where wa
ter may be had for men and horses
and outlines improvements that would
make the road more passable for tour
ists. ' -Find
an Instructive Specimen.
One of the most instructive speci
mens collected in the Navaho Nation
al Monument was found by W. B.
Pouglas in a ruin designated as Cradle
House. This object is a cradle made
of basketware, open at one end and
continued at the opposite end into a
biped extension to serve for the legs.
It la-decorated on the outside with an
archatic geometric ornamentation.
This specimen may be regarded as one
of the finest examples of prehistoric
baBketry from the southwest; more
over, with one exception, It is the only
known cradle of this form. A pair of
Infant's sandals .found with the cradle
leaves no doubt as to its use, while
the character and symbolism of the
decoration refer It to the ancient cliff
house culture. The design suggests
that which characterizes certain speci
mens of the well-known black-and-white
pottery found in the San Juan
drainage. Evidences of long use and
repair appear, especially on one side.
Unfortunately the specimen, although
entire when found, later was broken
across its middle.
The only other known cradle of this
type was brought to the attention of
ethnologists by Dr. W. J. McGee when
TO MEASURE THE INTELLECT
Scientists Have Invented Machine
Which Does the Work With Math
ematical Accuracy.
A machine has been perfected by
which one's mental character can be
determined and his intelligence meas
ured with something of the accuracy
that scales determine the weight of
coal or chocolate creams. The appa
ratus consists of a revolving mirror,
the axis of which is horizontal and
which can be turned at any required
speed by a handle and belt gearing.
The speed at which the axis is rotating
at any Instant Is shown by a special
Indicator.
The mirror revolves In a dark box
having windows of colored glass di
rectly above and below the mirror.
Outside each window Is a screen of
white paper fixed at an angle of 45
degrees to the plane of the glass and
Illuminated by an electric lamp.
A beam of diffuse light thus passes
through the colored glass of the win

"The Navaho National Monument,"
writes Dr. Fewkes, "contains two
kinds of ruins, cliff dwellings and
pueblos. The architecture of the cliff
dwellings is characteristic, their walls
being constructed of stone or adobe
built against, rarely free from, ver
tical faces of the cliff.
Two Types of Klvas.
"There are two types of klvas, one
circular and subterranean, allied to
those of the Mesa Verde; the other
rectangular, above ground, entered
from the sides.
"The masonry of these northern
ruins Is rude, resembling that of mod
ern Walpl. The component stones are
neither dressed nor smoothed, but the
walls are sometimes plastered. There
Is a great similarity in architecture.
No round towers relieve the monotony
or impart picturesqueness to the build
ings. The walls of ruined pueblos In
this region and the ceramic remains
closely resemble those at Black Falls,
on the Little .Colorado. A prominent
feature of the walls is a jacal construc
tion In which mud is plastered on
wattling between upright poles. The
ends of many of these supports project
high above the ground, constituting a
characteristic feature of the ruins.
This method of wall construction Is
unknown at Black Falls or at Walpl,
but still survives In modified form in
one or mpre Oralbl klvas .and In one
at least of the Mesa Verde ruins.
"Naturally the questions one asks
In regard to these ruins are: Why did
Inhabitants build these cliffs? Who
were the ancient Inhabitants? When
were these dwellings inhabited and
deserted?
"It is commonly believed that the
caves were chosen for habitation be
cause they could be better defended
than villages in the open. The
ancients chose this region for their
homes on account of the constant wa
ter supply In the creek and the
patches of land in the valley that
could be cultivated. This was a de
sirable place for their farms. Had
there been no caves in the cliffs they
would probably have built habitations
In the open plain below.
May Have Been Harassed.
"They may have been harassed by
marauders, but it must be borne in
mind that their enemies did not come
In great numbers at any one time. De
fense was not the primary motive
that led the sedentnry- people of this
canyon to utilize the caverns for shel
ter. Again, the Inroads of enemies
never led to the abandonment of these
tlon beam passes over an aperture in
the side of the box, against which the
eye of the person being tested Is
placed. When the reflection beam
has passed over the aperture the col
or Impulse on the retina ceases until
the mirror has reached the position
In which it reflects the next colored
beam of light Into the eye.
The experiments of Shelford Bid
well and of others have shown that
the sensation of a color persists for a
short time after the external impulse
has ceased. If the duration of this
persistence is equul to the time inter
val between two successive impulses
from the revolving mirror the color
will appear to be continuous.
Joke Made His Credit Good.
To illustrate the fact that some per
sons are devoid of a sense of humor,
this story, according to the New York
Tribune, was told at a downtown lun
cheon club: "I forgot to pay my news
boy last night and when I saw him
this morning gave him the five cents
due him and said: 'I thought every
minute last night you'd send a collec
tor for this.' 'Naw not on your life;
great clllThouses, If we can Impute
valor in any appreciable degree to the
inhabitants. Fancy, for instance, the
difficulty, or, rather, improbability', of
a number of nomadic warriors greft
enough to drive out the population of
KItsiel, making their way up Cataract
canyon and besting the pueblo. Such
nn approach would have been Impos
sible. Marauders might have raided
the KItsiel cornfields,, but they could
not have dislodged the inhabitants.
"Even if they had succeeded in cap
turing one house, but little would have
been gained, as it was a custom of the
Pueblos to keep enough food in store
to last more than a year. In this con
nection the question Is pertinent.
While hostlles were besieging KIt
siel how could they subsist during
any length of time? Only with the ut
most difficulty, even with aid of ropes
and ladders, can one now gain access
to some of these ruins. How could
marauding parties have entered them
if the inhabitants were hostile? The
cliff dwellings were constructed part
ly for defense, but mainly for the
shelter afforded by the overhanging
cliff, and the cause of their desertion
was not 1 due so much to predatory
enemies as failure of crops or the dis
appearance of the water supply.
"The writer does not regard these
ruins as of great antiquity; some of
the evidence indicates that they are
of later .time. Features in their archi
tecture show resemblances derived
from other regions.
Ruins Not of Great Antiquity.
"The Navahoes ascribe the build
ings to ancient people and say that
the ruined houses existed before their
own advent in the country, but this
was not necessarily long ago. Such
evidence as has been gathered sup
ports Hopi legends that the inhabi
tants were ancient Hopi, belonging to
the Flute, Horn and Snake families.
"There is no evidence that cliff
house architecture developed in these
canyons, and rude structures older
than these have been found In this
region. Whoever the builders of these
structures were, they brought their
craft with them. The adoption of the
deflector in the rectangular ceremonial-rooms
called kihus Implies the
derivation of these rooms from cir
cular klvas, and all indications are
that the ancient inhabitants came
from higher up San Juan river.
"Many of the ruins In Canyon de
Chelly, situated east of Laguna creek,
show marked evidence -of being mod
ern, and they In turn' are not so old
as those of the Mesa Verde. If tb.6
ruins become older as we go up the
river the conclusion Is logical that the
migration of the San Juan culture was
down the river from east to west,
rather than In the opposite direction.
The scanty traditions known to the
author support the belief in a migra
tion from east to west, although there
were exceptional instances of clan
movements In the opposite direction.
The general trend of migration would
indicate . that the ancestral home of
the Snake and Flute people was In
Colorado and New Mexico."
The Dickens of a Toast.
The wit of the late Dr. Francis A.
Harris was always ready. It came
like a flash as, when being told that
a Chinaman was about to be ap
pointed on the police force, he re
marked, "The Asiatic collarer," and
passed on. At a banquet given to
Charles Dickens the younger, the
chairman inadvertently talking back
ward, referred to the guest as one
not only honored for himself, but
because of bis father. Then younger
Dickens, in response, dryly observed
that he was glad to see that critical
discrimination had not been lost on
hospitality, and Dr. Harris saved the
situation by rising and proposing a
toast to "Charles the Second, who
never lost his head."
