BLAKESLEE (Asscclated Press Science Editor) CAMBRIDGE, Mass.,, Nov 30.— | Five hundred years before Chri .l the ancient Irish were cremating| their dead in the present Irish| Free State | This is one of the first prehis-l torical facts unearthed in a ‘five year survey -of Irish racial history, sccial and economic development and anthropological peculiarities, vl taken by Harvard University's Départment of Anthropology with the approval of the President of the Free State: Raft Village Discovered The burial customs, pottery, stone implements and ‘bronz: daggers showing how these Irishmen of long ago lived were dug up in a préliminary survey the past sum- mer. They were found in a huge calrn on Knockast Hill, a 600-foot high elevation. In County Wastmeath, at Ballin- derry, the Harvard anthropologis‘s discovered a raft village of the 10th century, A. D. It was made by lake dwellers, who started with a huge log raft for a foundation. On top of this they added new platforms of peat| and brushwood, cem:n by clay, to form an artificial island. Some times 40 persons at a time lived on| this raft. Farm Life Revcaled igh wooden stakes fc protective palisade. Rotted nants of dugouts nearby showed how these ancient peope reached the land. Bones of domestic mals, deer and bear told the story of their hunting and farm life. ‘Wooden tubs, barrles, iron knives, iron axes, bone combs and bronze pins filled in details of family and social occupations. ‘The survey is under direction of Professor E. A. Hooton of the Har- vard Department of Anthropology. He will conduct ‘also the physical anthropology studies. | Dr. Hugh O'Neill Henclen, As- sistan| Qumtor of Furopean An- thrc af Peabody Museumn Havard, conducts the antiropo- logical work. W.

AMES, Ia, Nov. 30. — Burning | corn in lieu of coal is no joke with Iowa farmx It iS so much a reality that Iowa State College experiment s!a has made tests to discover | pracncahm ¥, heating values, 1 eomparison to coal, and has vered these facts: 2s cheaply as Iowa coal, more cheaply than they can bum out- | cheaply than anthracite. It may, the station points out, be more profitable to feed the corn to stock and markel it as meat in the spring, or more con- venient to. sell corn and buy the coal. Nevertheless, the following figures are offered: . One hundred and forty-one pounds of ear corn with 8 per cent moisture has the same heating value as 100 pounds of Towa coal— in other Wwords 40 bushels of corn | (70 pounds per bushel) is equal to a ton of Iowa coal ‘About 47 bushels of corn equal a ton of out-0f-state coal.
