Colorado Explorer In Ken
Mexico*
Capt. Cecil A. DeaDe, of the Denver
State Historical society, lately spent
two weeks near Oallup, N. M., looking
for a sandstone house partially cov
ered by a bed of lava. This, says a
Denver exchange, he failed to find, but
he discovered other evidence of the
presence of man in that locality dur
ing the tertiary period. Near the given
site of the elusive stone bouse they
:ame upon the site of en old lake cov
»red with lava. Fifty feet above the
ariginal level of the vanished lake a
cliff house was found. From this long
unAenanted abode the explorers took
two bushels of calcined corn, which,
however, had not come into contact
ivith any burning substance. It was of
m altogether different variety from
;he corn that is and has been used by
the Indians. Over the corn was a layer
jf chipped stone reddened by intense
heat from t he lava bed of solidified de
bris which lay above the burnt rock.
In the house in which the corn was
stored there were no weapons or uten
sils made of lava. On the other baud
such weapons and utensils were plenti
Pul in the cliff dwelling at a lower level
These facts have convinced Capt
Deane that the region was inhabited
before nnd after the lava flow, which
St of the later tertiary period.
Mnnt1n*n Destructive Ants.
The white ants of Manila are fond
of wood. They bore boles from the
outside, enter in thousands, and eat
articles of furniture until little is left
but mere shells. HornetImes they de
vour the legs of a chair, so that when
a person sits down, the chair crum
bles under him, and he suddenly and
ungracefully lands on the floor.
The Tortolne nn a Weather Prophet.
A tortoise is an excellent weather
prophet. Tortoise farmers on the Af
rican coasts notice that, even 24 hours
before rain falls, these curious ani
mals prepare for it by seeking the
convenient shelter of overhanging
rocks
