While the Egyptians used artificial means to mummify their dead, the Indians of the Southwest did not, the dry climate being sufficient to preserve the bodâ€" ies perfectly. In gallery 31, Gunsaulus Hall, in the Art Institute a case of ‘ pottery containing many fine examâ€" ples of prehistoric American pottery may be seen, the gift of James H. Elworth. . 1 . Rare Pottery Found In making excavations in the Park, Mr. Hagar and his companions found, besides many rare specimens of pottery, two skeletons, one of a grown man and the other the mummy of a baby in a perfect state of preserâ€" vacation.

This race was deepâ€" ly religious and was a peaceful, agriâ€" vultural people, and although it disâ€" appeared as recently as six hundred years ago, its manner of diappearâ€" ance has never been definitely deterâ€" mined. The most generally accepted theory is that, owing to a prolonged drought they were forced to migrate, with the intention of returning, but that they were set upon and slaughtâ€" ered by warlike plains Indians. _ A communication just received by’ Frank G. Logan, Hon. \'ice-President, of the Art Institute gives an acâ€"; count of an expedition into the mysâ€" terious camyons of the Mesa Verde National Park in Southwestern Coloâ€" rado, headed by a young explorer, Richard Haga.. This expedition unâ€" earthed many interesting and uniquq pieces of pottery, the work of artists of a race much earlier than the Ax-! tecs. â€" |uum and universities . throughout l‘h worldâ€"the lead easily being takâ€" en by the groups from the United States. Many different countries are being searched and numerous sites are being excavated, notably in Asia Minor, where, near Kih, the Univerâ€" sity of Chicago has an expedition making priceless discoveries. The Field Museum also has many expediâ€" tions out in widely separated secâ€" tions of the globe, one very importâ€" ant one having just returned from Abyssinia. Other expeditions are in South America, Alaska, China, Cen-l tral America, and Mexico. Chas. E.

Civilization does not ad ‘ Story of Starvation ‘ Poring over dusty mn{lscripts preâ€" served in the Mission ruins, the Reo party unearthed an absorbing account of a struggle against starvation by the Fathers of Carmel Mission in 1771. The only means of getting supâ€" | plies to the Mission was by boat, it was found, and the boats had failed to arrive that year. The Fathers, slowly starving, struggled on as best they could, but finally had to throw themselves on the charity of the Inâ€" 1dimns they were attempting to conâ€" vert. Their kind treatment of the Inâ€" dians since the establishment of the: Mission was rewarded in this emerâ€" gency, for they were enabled to keepf alive by means of the food brought | to them by their redmen friends.
