“Lost City” of Nevada Once Populous Place
There was a large city in the Moapa valley in Nevada at the time of Christ, where salt was mined, cotton grown, and where the weaving and dyeing of cotton cloth had reached a high state of development, writes M. R. Harrington, archeologist, in the Outlook. Mr. Harrington with an expedition from the Museum of the American Indian in New York unearthed+a city of over flve miles in length, officially titled “Pueblo Grande de Nevada” and popularly known as the “Lost City.” One of the buried houses was discovered to contain 100 rooms. Bushels of charred corn were found, which led to the belief that there was a large farming population. “But farming and hunting were not the only occupations open to these Nevadans of 20 centuries ago,” writes Mr. Harr'ngton in the’ QOutlook, “for the weuy ng and dyeing of cotton cloth had reached quite a high state of development. Scraps of textiles turned up in our diggings, crumbling rags that were really precious, that showed coarse weaves and fine, which proved dyeing in. red and blue and yellow, in purple and black. Doubtless the cotton was grown here, too. - “We also discovered that the Nevada of Christ's time had a mining industry, even as now—at least as far as salt mines are concerned—and that the Lost City people worked a series of ;mines of this sort to a really remarkable extent. The largest salt mine in which they left their ‘visiting cards’ showed ancient workings back in the mountain three to four hundred feet from daylight. So much of this salt was mined that it seems hardly -possible it could all have been used at home; some, at least, must have gone into trade with other tribes.” =
Ended Bear’s Career
Here's the season’s hottest bear story, as related by, “Lucky” Louis Larue, prospector from the Findlay Forks country of Alberta. Louis was fishing for trout and had just hooked a big fellow. when he felt a hot blast on his neck: Yanking the trout over his head, he turned around to look straight down the gullet of a grizzly, poised to catch the descending fish. The bear’s judgment was bad; the fish hit him a ‘slap on the nose, and the hook impaled itself on his jaw. The prospector dove inte the river, with the grizzly in snappy pursuit. The race was about even across the stream. Larue lost. so much breath yelling to his partner that he barely held his own sprinting across the meadow to:his shack. His partner heard the yelps and with great sangfroid snapped-up a stick of dynaniite, lit the fuse and hurled it at the bear ‘Just,'sa's Louis tumbled through the door. Bear, fish and hook disappeared.
Would Harness Gales
One of the most novel propositions in the matter of navigation ever advanced is that for which 2 French mariner named Fieron stands responsible. The Frenchman thinks that advantage may be taken of the favorabis winds at the edge of a cycloas for facilitating navigation. : By means of observations with the barometer and other instruments he would ascertain the direction in which the storm is going and so shape the course of his ship that it would be carried glong by the sweep of the atmosphere, without becoming involved in the dangerous center of the storm. This proposal to treat cyclones as friendly aids to navigation may strike one -as an extravagant play of fancy, but it is soberly advanced by Fieron, who, it is said, has made certain successful experiments . in this new method of sailing the sea.—Washington ‘Star. : ‘ :
Birds Like Candy
.Commenting on grackles Mrs. Ansel 0. Cole of lowa informs Nature Magazine of Washington of an interesting bird party she held for her many bird friends. Mrs. Cole put candy on the bird’s feeding table. The result was surprising, for among those who ate tended the party were robins and their young, orioles and thelr babies, catbirds, bluejays, cardinals, rosv-breast-ed grossbeaks, chickadees, nuthatches, tufted titmice and, of course, English sparrows. Grackles flocked in and carried off bits to their young. They also tried the soaking process in the bird bath and appeared much surs prised and chagrined to see the candy dissolve.
Clams Made Trouble
When a storm has covered the beach at Wildwood, N. J., with huge clams, men soon appeared to reap the hare vest. So did ‘thousands of sea gulls, They would swoop down and, grasping a clam in their talons, mount several hundred feet in the air before letting it drop to break it open. The men were literally bombarded with clams, but there was only one casualty. James Olson was struck on the head by a descending clam and required medical attention. ot
