Picturesque Seminole Still Found in Florida Visitors to Miami are always interested in the Seminole inians. whether seen in their camps in the Everglades, padding down the Miami river or the canals in their quaint canoes or mhniinii n-ith tho rrnwrts unon the

streets in their characteristic and pic-1

turesque dress, made of gaudy coiorea horizontal stripes of cloth. During the summer the Indians go far out into the Everglades, but in winter months they come nearer the city and a camp of them is usually situated on the Miami river just outside the city limits. Here in a tropical jungle, on the banks of the river, they erect their huts with thatched roofs and sides, arranged in a circle with the communal camp fire in the center. The number in this camp varies from 30 to 50. They go baclr&nd forth into the glades to their truck farms for proisions and for fish and game. The Semionles are a peaceful tribe, and cause no trouble. They have taken on many traits of civilizaMon, and a few have adopted the white man's mode of dress, but if they do wear trousers they insist upon their traditional gaudy shirt of the horizontal stripes. The women have never changed the length of their dresses to con form to style, but they still trail on the ground. The sqaws have consented to adopt the labor saving device, the sewing machine, but evm w'th that aid the making of a Seminole dress is a long drawn out process, which requires much sewing and cutting.

Report Extraordinary Survival of Animal Life

An extraordinary survival of the animal life of 3,000,000 years ago has been reported as still flourishing in certain parts of South America. The little animal, which looks like a sharp nosed rat, with rounded ears, slender tail and soft brown hair, was discov

ered in Venezuela by Dr. Wilfrid II.

Osgood of the Held Museum of Natural History. In "A Monographic Study of the American Marsupial, Caesnolestes," Dr. Osgood says: "This little animal is quite unlike any other now living in the world. Although it does not resemble closely any species now living, it is very intimately related to animals which flourish far back in geologic times, when the foundations were being laid for the evolution of the higher animals of the present day. "All the others of the group to which it belongs became extinct ages ago and Caesnolestes alone has sur

vived to the present. We know this because its bones and teeth are essentially the same as those of the extinct animals. If the bones are the same

! it is probable that other parts are also

similar. Therefore Caesnolestes is a prize to the student, for it enables bim to learn more about the ancient fossils than is shown by their bones, which of course are the only part3 preserved."
