ANCIENT DENTISTRY
The modern dentist, with all his
finesse and intricate tools, and the
skill with which he furnishes the hu
man mouth, is not so far ahead of
the American aborigines after all.
A Pan-American Union bulletin tells
us Jha.t Dr. Saville, professor of
American archeology in Columbia un
iversity, has recently returned from
South America, where he made sev
eral interesting discoveries, the most
remarkable of which he thus de
scribes:
"In the spring of 1913, a Cholo, one
of the natives of Atacames, a town
in the province of Esmeraldas, about
eighteen miles southwest of the city
of Esmeraldas, found a skeleton in
a burial tube on the right bank of
the Rio Atacames, just above town.
The skull was found with the teeth
inlaid with gold, but the finder con
tnted himself with breaking off the
superior maxillary, throwing the rest
of the skull away. When I visited
the town in June of the present year
for the purpose of making some ex
cavations to supplement my former
work, I obtained the fragment. The
two upper middle teeth are decorat
ed by the insertion of thin gold disks
in cavities drilled or bored in the
enamel of the face of the teeth. An
unusual dental feat, in addition to
the decoration, is found in the right
middle tooth. This is not a right
middle incisor, but a right lateral
incisor which does not belong to the
jaw but was implanted to replace
the middle incisor. This is such an
extraordinary feature that we must
weigh very carefully the evidence as
to its having been found in the jaw.
* * * Indeed there is no reason
to doubt that the replacement is a
genuine triumph of the ancient den
tists of Atacames.”
Dr. Saville some years before had
found that among the Indians in
Mexico teeth-filling was an art pro
duced perhaps a thousand years ago.
In the Mayan area, as far south as
Salvador, "the object most often used
for the inlay was jadeite. In Mexico,
for example in Oaxaca, I have found
hematite used; in Vera Cruz, tur
quoise has been found; and in other
parts teeth with settings of rock
crystal, obsidian and a red cement
have been found. We have never
heard of th's custom in Colombia or
Peru, but in Esmeraldas, in Ata
cames, skulls have been found with
tiny disks of gold set into the teeth
in the same xnanner as-in Mexico and
Central America, with the exception
of the material.”—Ex.

WMI IN IRELAND
i _ -
Ulsterites Are Told to Remain Quiet
By Their Leader Carson— Ire
land An Armed Camp.
LONDON, July 18—The House of
Lords and the government are en
deavoring to find some method of
settling the Irish mess and hope to
effect vai settlement satisfactory to
all sides. All of Ireland is one vast
armed camp according to a high au
thority jin government circles and
civil war may break out at any mo
ment. The military authorities at
Belfast have been instructed to main
tain order but to be conciliatory. Sir
John Carson has also been in confer
ence with the ministry in an effort
to prevent any Outbreak an$ has
sent word to the covenanters not to
make any overt acts towards the
government. It is expected his in
struction will be obeyed as the Ulster
army is completely under his control
and the civil war will come when
he issues the order.
It is reported that Premier Asquith’s
attitude has undergone a modifica
tion and that he is now ready to
grant excluusion of Ulster by statute
instead of by the ballot.
A rumor was current today that
50,000 rifles had been landed, on the
coast of County Mayo for the Nation
alist voluunteers. It could not be
confirmed.
The Ulster Volunteers have been
notified, according to The Belfast
Echo, that the time has arrived
when, on an order from their com
manding officers, the men may carry
arms openly. Any attempt to seize
the arms or the Volunteers who may
be carrying them in accordance with
this order is to be resisted.

MUNICIPAL DANCING
PAYS IN CLEVELAND
CLEVELAND.—Cleveland’s munic
ipal dance halls are a decided suc
cess. This fact was today attested
to by Mayor Baker and other offi
cials who have watched the opera-,
tion of ‘‘clean dancing” at three cents
per dance in the city park pavillions.
The dances are open air affairs. Every
afternoon and evening except Sun
day during the summer months young
couples of the city are enabled to en
joy chaperoned dancing, but the tan
go and other latest dips and twists
are barred. *
Nine thousand, nine hundred and
seventy-seven tickets were sold at
Edgewater Park pavilion on the op
ening night. The municipal chaperon
had an easy fine. At Wood’and
Hills pavilion Mrs. Carol Sullivan, the
chaperon, had not a single case to
need her attention, though 5,624 paid
for dances. Total receipts at the
two municipal dances on the open
ing night were $462.03, representing
a good profit for the city after the
musicians had been paid. The dance
halls are (o be kept open every af
ternoon and evening except Sunday
until the chill autumn winds inter
fere.
