WAS INHABITED.
The Enchanted Mesa of New Mex-
100 Again Visited.
Second Party of Explorers Find
Traces of Former Inhabitants
of the Elevated Moun-
tain Plain.
The top of the Enchanted Mesa of
New Mexico was at one time inhabited.
It has been proved that Indian tradi-
tions should not be dismissed as merely
mythical after only casual explora-
tion.
This has been demonstrated as the
result of the trip of F. W. Hodge of
the (bureau of ethnology Smithsonian
Institution who has just returned
from an expedition to the mesa. The
Enchanted Mesa of New Mexico has ex-
cited the interest of scientists and the
daring of exploring parties. It was
brought into prominence a few weeks
ngo by the expedition of Prof. William
Libbey of Princeton university who
took rope-throwing mortars huge
kites balloons and tons of apparatus
to scale this hitherto inaccessible table-
land.
The purpose of the investigations has
been to determine whether the summit
of the mesa was at one time inhabited
by the prehistoric Acoma Indians. Prof.
Libbey reported no evidences of early
occupancy. Mr. Hodge’s explorations
have brought different results however
. for after scaling the mesa he spent
some time on the summit found a num-
’ her of fragments of pottery arrow’s
shell bracelets stone axes etc. estab-
lishing conclusively that the top of the
mesa was at one time the home of hu-
mans.
Mr. Hodge was sent by the bureau of
ethnology to examine a series of
1 ruins in western New Mexico and to
attend the snake dance of the Moki
I Indians. This done he was directed
to proceed to the Mesa Escanada and
scale its precipitous walls in any way
he saw’ fit. He procured an extension
ladder comprising six sections of six
feet each together with an ample sup-
ply of rope and proceeded to the mesa
September 3 accompanied by Maj.
George 11. Pradt deputy United States
surveyor at Laguna N M. who is fa-
| miliar with that section; A.C. Vroman
I of Pasadena Cal. who acted as photog-
I rapher of the expedition; H. C. Hoyt
1 of Chicago and two Laguna Indians.
The mest was determined to be 431
feet from the western plain to the top
of the highest pinnacle above the cleft
I and the talus at the base of the cleft
224 feet above the plain. The climb was
’ without any serious difficulty until the
party reached a great sandstone. The
ladders were hauled section by sec-
tion to this point by means of the
ropes then fitted together and raised
against the cliff.
Mr. Hodge ascended to the top and
climbing over the slope immediately
above lashed the top of the ladder
to a huge bowlder that had fallen from
above and lodged on the terrace some
20 feet from the summit. The ladder
was then ascended by the remainder of
the party and the top easily reached.
J The ascent consumed exactly 2% hours.
The exfflorers had not been on the
summit of the mesa five minutes be-
! fore Maj. Pradt picked up a fragment
I of ancient pottery which indicates
I clearly that the mesa had been visited
; at any rate in former times and that
1 ' Prof. Libbey was mistaken in his con-
j elusions. During the afternoon and the
I next day Mr. Hodge examined the
j ground critically while Maj. Pradt
made a survey of the mesa and Mr. Vro-
man secured a number of photographs.
Several potsherds two stone axes
(broken) a fragment of a shellbrace-
| let and a stone arrow point were the
chief evidences of former occupancy
found on the narrow storm-swept crest
but abundant potsherds etc. were
' found in the talus swept down from
! the summit. All vestiges of the an-
’ cient trail ascending the talus and
I continued thence to the summit by hand
' and foot holes in the solid rock have
J been obliterated but some traces of
* the hole remain. This verification of
J an Indian tradition notable for in-
-1 herent evidence of accuracy is peculiar-
[ ly gratifying to students of anthrop-
’ ology.
J Prof. Libbey’s ladder was discovered
1 still lashed in place above the crevasse
[ Mr. Hodge's researches will arouse
’ great interest among American ethnol-
-5 ogists and archaeologists. — Chicago

Ttie Candle Fish of Alaska.
With the discovery of the Klondike
with all its winterprivatiohs comes also
the practical discovery of a fish found
along the Alaskan shores which it is
said will furnish food light heat and
medicine to the prospectors who have
gone into the new El Dorado. This
fish is of the smelt variety but larger
and fatter. They are caught in nets
easily and on being caught are fouiM
to be of a rich green color on the back
variegated with blue and with golden
reflections on the belly. On being held
up to the light they are almost trans-
parent. On being caught these fish are
dried and stored. When the Alaskan is
snowed in and without a lighthe simply
inserts the tail of one of these fish in a
crack in the table and touches a match
to its nose. It gives out a clear three-
candle power light. The backbone is
largely formed of phosphorus which
not only causes it to ignite easily but
also accounts for the strength of the
flame and the heat developed. The sub-
stance of the fish largely fat retards
the rapid burning as the tallow acts
in an ordinary candle. The fish is also
valuable as food. Still another use to
which it may be put is as a substitute
for cod liver oil. which aiding the naL
ural heat of the body serves to protect
against the sevare cold. It is to be
hoped that scientists will discover a
way by which the skin of this fish may
be made into clothing and its backbone
sharpened into miner's picks.—Phila-
delphia Press.

Martin Lnther'a Body.
It has recently been ascertained that
the body of Martin Luther contrary to
general belief was never removed from
the palace church at Wittenburg where
it lies seven or eight inchesbelow the floor
ofthcr.ave.in a coffin of wood Tined with
tin. Close by is the coffin of Luther’s
friend and associate Mc'anchthon. —N.
Uns Lived 150 Years.
It is said that 1 he oldest person living
whose age has been proved is Bruno
Cortrim. born in Africa and now living
iff Rio Jar.vlm. He is 150 years old. A
coachman in Moscow has lived 140 years.
More people over 100 years are found in
mild climates than in the higher lati-
tudes. According to the last census of
the German empire of a population of
55000.000 only 78 have passed the hun-
dredth year. France with a population
of 40000000 has 213 centenarians. In
England there are 146 Ireland 578 and
in Scotland 46. Sweden has 10 and Nor-
way 23; Belgium 5. Denmark 2 Switz-
erland none. Spain with a population
of 18000000 has 401 people over 100
years of age. Of the 2250000 inhab-
itants of Servia 675 people have passed
the century mark.
Labeled Children.
In Japan small children of the poor
who have the gift of straying and no
nurses to look after them are safe
guarded by the simple precaution of
hanging labels round their necks which
tell their names and addresses.
