WHERE THE INDIANS WORKED. ‘The Ancient Quarry Workshop Excavated by Mr. Holmes. ARich Archzological Discovery on the Verge of the City—Remains of the Primitive Industry Found in Vast Profusion—A Picturesque Spot on the Piney Branch on Which is Traced Part of the Life His- tory of the Ancient Dwellers in This Region. amen emnes LTHOUGH it may seem 6 strange statement to make, it isa literally true one that thie city is paved with the art remains of & race so far abso- lutely unknown to four people, and who occupied and deserted the site fm the dim and misty past. For in the vicinity of our city rude stone implements of a certain class are found in great numbers. So great ere their numbers and so thoroughly scattered throughout the Potomac valley are they that they are brought in with every load of gravel from the creek beds, and the laborer breaking stone for our streets each year passes thousands of them under hiv hammer. These curious relics have at all times attracted considerable attention from archwolog: but it is only re- ed careful study. centiy that they have rec Of late Mr. W. H. Holmes, the archwologist of the bureau of ethnolog them his undivided bumber of im ence to these relics of a bygone race. A QUARRY WORKSHOP. Within a mile of the city limits a quarry} work shop of these early stone workers has been unearthed and can be sven today almost | exactly as it was left by this prebistorie people. noone knows how long ago. This is one the most fertile fields fo search tobe found avywh This workshop of the anci tool cutters has now been carefully and a large number of spectinens of work have been preserved for further and speculation. Recently a Stan reporter accompanied Mr. Holmes to the scene of his labors. In passing out of the city by way of 14th street extended one crosses a pictu juely io- cated bridge at a point 13, miles from Bound- ary street. The little stream known as Piney branch falls into Rock creek ata little more than half a mile below the bridge. Arrived at the bridge one is already within the limits of the implement-veariag area, an the rude objects may be picked up on all hand: in the lanes that lead up through the forest- skirted farm of Mr. Blagden, in the beds of all the streams and upon all the slopes north aud south of the creek, including an area three- fourths of a mile square. ”~ WHERE RELICS ARE FOUND. The investigating committee under Mr. Holmes was particularly concerned with a por- tion of this area on the north side of the creek and lying just west of idth-strect road. Here | the plateau faces rise to 100 feet above the creek bed and 200 feet above tide water. The | slopes are precipitous, but generally even and | regular, and are covered with forest, much of | Which is primeval. An femal rivalets | descend from the plateau through deep ravines | into the ereek. The cutting of two ravines by | these small streams hasieit between them a | promontory or spur of the plateau with a} nearly level top 100 yards in width, the steep slopes of which descend to the rivuleta on the €ast and west and to the creek on the south, Upon these steep slopes the primitive people found the material used im implement making, and here they worked until a mass of refuse of astonishing magnitude was accumulated, and } Which 18 found not only upon the slopes but in | the masses of gravel at the base of the slopes | and in the flood planes of the valley even down to Rock creek aud for an unknown distance along its course. THE PISCOVERY OF THE SITE, So far as is known the first discovery of imple- ments upon this particular site was made by Mr. De Lancy Gill, who at that time, 1837, was | ‘Mr. Hoimes’ assistant in the illustrations divi- | sion of the geological survey, and 1s now in charge of that work. He was engaged in | sketching upon the bank of the branch, and by chance observed an implement in the gravel at | his feet. Leaving bis work he climbed the | bluff to the north looking for others, and at a} subsequent visit came upon a number of heaps | of shop refuse in the western ravine at the point now cut by the section which has been dug. The neighboring valleys had been pre- viously visited by Mr. 8. V. Prondfit, and per- baps by others, but no shop sites seem to Mave been definitely located. In September, 1859. Mr. Holmes visited Mr. Blagden, owner of the property, to obtain per- ‘ission to work upon the premi d learned from him that about the year 1878 a street con- tractor had been permitted to collect material for paving from these grounds and that the piles of refuse stone which had been noticed were gathered together at that time, a portion only of the heaps collected having been curted away. At that time s narrow roadway was cut leading from the creek up the little ravine to the site of the recent labors. e for an unknown distance, but whi a | stone b features of the vicinity, determined from the eccentricities of contour the location of the old quarry and excavated a trench which cut a sec- tion directly across the line followed by the ancient workman in his labors. He was re- warded by finding a little below the surface and masses of debris, the half-finished and rejected implements thrown aside by the workmen. It would appear that the workmen seeking suitable bowlders from which to lorm their rude implements worked over large part of the slope and that probably mil- hous of worked stones and broken fragments Bow occupy the site.

From a trench $ feet wide and 80 feet long eat through the artificial deposits of this slope have been obtained 3,000 worked stones, all exhibiting design, and over a thousand cubic feet of material have been examined and shifted, all or nearly all of which had been worked over by the aucient occupant and fully one-tenth of which consisted of fragments from nis hammer. If other parts of this promontory face are as well supplied with artificial products as this one, and indications are that such is the conse, it is safe to estimate that the site contains over a million finished, unfinished and broken im- plements, this belt extends horizontally ia, STAR: WASHINGTON ATTRACTIVE HOMES. Some of the Latest Fancies in the Way of Ceramics. POINTS FROM THE PHILADELPHIA CHINA EXHIBI- ‘TION — FANCIFUL NAMES FOR FANCIFUL DE- SIGNS—A DINNBR WITH SPECTACULAR EFFECTS— BOVEL DECORATIONS FOR THE TABLE. The exhibition of china at memorial hall, Philadelphia, is interesting especially to china Painters, The quite large collection by the udents of the school of design is looked at with close notice other students and workers, Nothing, however, bf striking beauty or orig- inality appears m that connection, though many pieces are well painted and fired. Miss Louise McLaughlin, whose name is familiar to all china painters, has a number of articles displayed. One odd and attractive effect was gotten by painting a group of conventionalized flowers without leaves; then near them, beginning with gold, an irregular small figure in outline is painted, Just outside of this is aline of gold following its outline, and so on until maybe a half of the dish is covered with these close lines, surrounding the flowers, the lines breaking to let them in, asit were. The nearest resemblauce to this design, and what may have suggested | it, isa small island, ot group of islands on a map, with the encircling water lines. SOME OF THE WARES EXHIBITED. There are a chocolate picture and small tray shaped dish in this decoration, with durk red flowers and gold lines, and another tray with much darker coloring, bronze and black in effect, There 1s something quite novel and effective and decidedly unamateur in this orna- mentation. From Ciucinuati comes also a large and beautiful display of Rookwood pottery, tor which that city 1s famous, The shapes and coloring are so Varicd and pleasing that it is diticult to pick out any one piece if one has a | choice among so many lovely things. ‘The | high price of this pott will keep it from bi | coming too common—if such pretty things can | be spoiled in that way. ‘Lhe Beileck—made at trenton, N. J., in imitation of the | jirish ware o: that name—is specially worthy of mention. There is a charm ing display of this china of egg shell ‘wlispare: and mother-of-pearl hues. It} te rivals in’ beauty specimens of the old world, ‘ihe prices of this ware, which 1sin meny dainty forms, are quite reasunably low. ‘Lhe also a large collection of the art pottery, also HOW THE IMPLEMENTS WERE MADE. Mr. Holmes showed Tie Stan reporter how, in all probability, the ancient workman pro- ceeded with his task, : Taking up two bowlders and adjusting them to the hands, the firet step was tostrike the edge of one against that of the other at the proper angle to detach a flake: the second step Vthe third were the same, and on until circuit was completed. If no false step was made and the stone had the right fractare these few strokes, occupying but as many seconds, gare as a resnlt a typical turtle back— a bowlder with one side fuceted by artificial flaking remaining smooth. With perhaps a few additi the second stage wax comple nal strong strokes d and the ron; gan to suggest the outlines of the fini form. [tat this or any preceding stage the stone showed any marked ir ies or in- equalities which would unsuit it for the end in view it was cast aside. CG . SPECIMEN RELICS. There have been collected from this one swall spot fully 1,000 turtle backs of the two forms, a greater number than has been found heretofore in the whole Potomac province, and why? Therecan be, Mr. Holmes says, but one answei This spot is the great workshop and these things are the failures. Out of 1,400 specimens that have been examined carefully there were only twelve that approached any- where near perfection. The conclusion to be derived from # consideration of these figures is that all perfect specimens, and they alone, have been carried away as being the entire product of the shop. The heaps remaining are com- posed of the rejected and defective materials, The rough fashioning of the boulders at the | quarry was only the first part of the work- man’s task, It is more than likely that those specimens that seemed suitable for further working were taken back to their villages aud homes to be completed at their leisure, THE AGE AND THE RACE. When asked by the reporter as to the age and race to which these workmen belonged, | Mr. Holmes said that if the evidence is not decidedly in favor of great age, the natural conclusion is that the race concerned is the Red Indian, for be is well known to us as an actual occupant of the region, while bis time, though coming down to ours and therefore recent, is not at all well defined upon the other limit. If, on the contrary, the evidence tavors great age—if the latest limit of the period of occupation ig still remote from the present and apparently behind that of which we have knowledge through history—we shall be war- ranted in advocating the existence of a people distinct from the Indian and belonging to another and earlier stage of culture, An examination of the quarry shop refuse mukes it apparent that the period of occupa- tion was very long. The accumulations of worked material are of enormous extent and remarkable thickness; their great degree of compactness is also a notable feature. At the same time it can hardly be claimed that these facts can help materially in settling the ques- tion of their age. The same may be said of the growth of fo trees upon the site, A fine chestnut fully a century old stands upon the surface of a bed of refuse which is filled with artiticial remains, and that to a depth not even penetrated by the strongest roots, but the age of a tree or of many generations of trees will not carry us back beyond the age of the Indian, Mr. Holmes thought there was no geological evidence to carry the history of man in this place back beyond the age of the Indian, and a uumber of things conspire to contine it to that period. vidence of @ cultural kind ‘here is no that points significantly toward another race. Mining and quarrying are well-known agcom- plishments of the red man and we have here on Rock creek and near at hand soapstone quarries that no one would think of attributin; to any other people.

Many fanciful names are given to the vari- ous shapes and styles of china independent of | their decoration, Tho Diana is very pretty—in some pieces especially so. The cups are quite flat on the bottom, with straight sides and sov- eral indentations around the edge. Allarticles of toilet use in decorated china are much sought | after, as well as the plain white, which are for , the china painters’ benefit. The ‘Diana’ | | brush and comb tray ie extremely pretty, with | its straight up-and-down rim and dents in each | side of the oval shap The rim has little ridges, which are very effective, with gold ap- plied to the raised lines, The “Trianon” has a rim also, but the edge is thicker and plain, ‘There are also curves on the sides of this shaps | but not so sharply defined as in the “Dians, A pretty piece of the “Trianon” style is asmall tray with a handle—basket-wise—where the curve comes on the sides. This can be used | either for the dining table or for the toilet ta- ble. “La Tosca” is a name bestowed on a num- | ber of articles, ® certain shape of} china among others, A pretty specimen of this is a leaf-shaped dish for ices. Single pieces of undecorated china are favorite | purchases with china painters. Especially are | articles looked for which can be bestowed on a | man at present-giving times without being too | palpably inappropriate. Of course the un-| offending man is liable to be deluged with ash | trays, sull here is one which is certainly unique. It represents a map of France, with | the lines indicated, ready for coloring, as well as the spot occupied by the city of Paris. The figure of an Englishman intent on guide | book is in one corner, with his umbrella lying beside him. Still another thing intended as a ift for a man is an inkstand in the shape of a egoma leaf. A big beetle crawling on the leaf forms the lid to the ink holder, sunk into the leaf, which conceals it and forms the pen tray. This could be decorated in natural colors of @ begonia, or some entirely different design suited to the space might be applied. MECHANICAL ACCESSORIES OF A DINNER, Mechanical contrivances have not been gen- erally adopted as accessories of the dinner table, but from London comes a story of such an enhancement of the ordinary charms of a repast. A wax fizure of a peasant girl carrying a basket—life size—was standing beside the table. As @ course of roast lamb was bein; served tothe guestsaslight noise was hear | which drew attention to the figure. The lid of | the basket suddenly opened an: lamb's head appeared which said “ba-a-a” And then as sud- denly retired, the hand of the girl touching the lid as if pushing it down. The narrator adds, “the effect was admirable!" When desert time came strains of music startled the guests, com- ing, as they did,from the mould of flowers in the center of the table, which hud been noticably high. Slowly this mound opened and the figure of @ fairy arose from the bed of flowers, which danced in time to the music. These were sup- poved to be aids toconversation, as the surprise would call forth animated talk, but it would be an unfortunate host who has to resort to such tricks to make a dinner party a success, ILLUMINATING THE TABLE. A new method of lighting dinner tablos in a decorative way has already been introduced here. Electric wires are run about the table, illuminating small globes here and there. These globes can be of one color and thus accentuate the ticular tint chosen for the occasion, or ean be of many shades, giving a general bi liancy. It is guid that these electric lights will supersede candles, as there is no going out too soon and no smoke with electricity, e diffi- culty is small of ranning a light wire wherever such an illuminating effect is desired, while the Fesult is softiy brilliant and beautiful. Bince flowers are no lo! seen in quanti- ties in table decorations way of giving much color with the lighting will iprobebly be popular.
