The following advertisement appeared
In the newspapers of St. Joseph, Mo., re

“Wanted—Human skulls! must be t»

fine specimens. Apply Hotel M. Charles

“I have now in my possession Ss*.
perfect specimens of hun.au skulls," says
Mr. Jenkins. “They represent the hu
man of many ages, and 1 find them an

tome to indulge in such a strange fad1!
'•Veil, in my youth I made a study of
inatomy, and" became lironsely ir.tef
-sted in the construction of the human
came. I gradually acquired a taste for
this form of bric-a-brac.
“I got my reai start as a collector of
<’ vtils in 1SS7. During excavations In
Joseph on prop'-rty lr. the possession
my fath-.r several specimens of an
indent race were exbum d, and
straightway found a res’Inc place upon
a shelf in a cabinet in my home I vis

tv: ere other specimens c? the ancient
:rhabitants were discovered. They dif
fr-r materially front the skulls found In
St. Joseph Then I • t-ited the holy land
fn search of specimens. From ’here I
drifted to the lands of the Ptolemies of
Egypt. Here some valuable acquisi
tions were made. I have tramped over
the Pampas of South America, the moun
tains of Peru and Chili, and even pene
trated into the wildernesses of the Ama
zon, where, in deposits of earth and
s*one, I have brought t’o light perfect
specimens of human skulls, represent
ing periods wkicL history does not
chronicle.
“In my experiments I have found thai
some skulls take on a very beautiful
polish, and I must say that, under the
hand of a skilled artisan, they are made
magnificent. These specimens occupy a
cabinet by themselves. I have a number
of skulls taken from the wreck of the
Galveston storm. I also have specimens
from other disaster? on this and other
continents. Five victims of the Mont
Pr'&c disaster are represented in my
collection. This business of collecting
skull? is a great aid in the study and re
ri ’ tion of important facts in history. !
