Archaeological Trrsnorfi Blacovrr
cd Near the Inn of AVyman.
From the New York World.
Wyman. Mich., Hept. A table* graven
m an unknown lutigu.ige with what m|v
pear to be the Ten t’omm indnient* I* the
most Interesting of many extraordinary
antiquities dug from n mound north of
this village, nnd now lying about In farm
house* and barns.
Other curiosities from the mound are
sarcophagi containing what appear to be
burned human remains, flint spc.ir heads
scratched with rude pictures suggesting
Noah* flood, pottery, ornaments and
weapons.
Are these things relics of the mysterious
civilization that dominated •hi land be
fore the Indian arose to trample It under
foot? Only an archaeologist can answer
the question. That the curiosities were n*
"planted” by some practical joker Is prov
ed by the fact that Kreot pine trees some
centuries old have grown over the mound
since the articles w. re burled there.
No Inhabitant of this region can read
the Inscription* on t.ihlet* or sarcophagi,
but In n general way all recognize the
character* and style of h . >ratlon as re
sembling Egyptian or Assyrian antiqui
ties. This, to the lay mind, deepen* the
mystery and r • ill* the scientific theory
recently exploited In the Hunday World
that tiie American continent was the
cradle of the hum in race, and that the
tide of emigration was from Alaska to
Asta. instead of vice versa.
Wyman Is a lumbering town wlUi two
sawmills. All ihe country thereabouts bas
been lumbered off to thoroughly that
nothing but legion* of pine stumps meet
the eye In every direction.
More absorbed in thinking of the tim
ber supply and the problem of livelihood,
the local folk were only wildly Interested
when 8. O. Rooiford, then a painter liv
ing In Elmore, four miles south, disin
terred from the mounds some curious ob
jects, the like of which had never been
seen before.
Scot ford Is known as an eccentric char
acter of a rather Inventive mind, and his
discoveries were viewed with scepticism.
But other person* began to dig and find
similar curiosities. The largest collec
tion Is that of lllrnm J. Rich, a farmer
near Wyman, who has several dosen of
the relic* stored In Vila barn, where 4 he
writer Inspected them.
All excepting the flint spear head are of
burnt clay. They were not place,! hap
hazard in the mounds, but ea h one was
confined In a small chamber of red day.
When taken Out the clay Was damp, but
quickly dried.
The tablet th*4 seems to contain the Ten
Commandments Is patterned after the tab
let represented In the familiar engraving
of Moses on Mount Kina!. Arabic numer
als are not used to designate, but lines
like those used to tally scores In playing
cards. The tablet is about a foot long and
nine inches broad.
No less suggestive of biblical lore Is the
flint spear head. It Is almost nine Inches
long and si* broad, and has a flat polish-*
ed surface. On this ore scratched various
scene# depicting the flood. Men are hold
ing their arms above their heads n* if to
ward off the descending water. Scene No.
2 shows the ark on a mountain, and In
the final scene troupe of animals are fil
ing out.
The sarcophagi, or. rather, funeral urns
containing ashes, invito conjecture. From
n foot and a half high to two feet long
their breadth nnd hight average eight
inches. The lid Is stuck on by some un
known process, and Is usually adorned
with a reclining lion or panther, with that
peculiar headdress which adorns the lion
of Egyptian sculpture. The outside of
the sarcophagi is covered with hiero
glyphics.
In the Inside ashes of human bodies and
bits of human hones are found Rlmllar
discoveries were made at mounds hard hv
Crystal Isake. some miles away, and at
other places.
A few weeks ago the well-known Rel
ginn nvuerologl*!. Berson. In company of
two friends, made n mv* successful bal
loon voyage, starting from Ftrecht. on
the Putch-Bclgian frontier. The balloon
had a capacity of 11M0 cubic meters, and
lielonged to the T’nlon for the Tievclop
meot of Alrshlpptng * an average. 2H
kilometers were covered per hour, and the
entire trip lasted over thirteen hours.

now reviewing a rglment, now In one
city and now in atmther. At a Punch-and-

BRIEF DIRECTIONS
FOR SHOPPERS.
If you wish to pay fancy prices for good goods
do not come here.
If you wish to pay small prices for trash do not
come here as that is one thing we do not keep.
If you wish common-sense goods at the lowest
prices such goods can be sold for come here.
Nothing is cheap unless it is also good. This
is to be the store of real economies. No store will
ever bear a prouder title. Real economy, as you
know, is not wholly a matter of figures. It takes
more than a low price to make a bargain.
We are showing the following
