Saloniki, Greece, December The French and British troopers sta- tioned in Saloniki since the begining of the Allied Balkan undertaking Never cease to marvel at the number of newspapers able to live in a of, normally, only about 150,000 habitants, of whom a very large per- | ctentage cannot read or write. Though | the second city of Greece since its conquest by the Greeks in the last Balkan war, Saloniki has never been and is not now in any real sense a Greek city. Indeed, a scant per cent. of the population is Greek. Yet the clty supports five Greek daily newspapers, tbrec morning and two | afternoon journals. Besides these, probably the most widely read of all is the unique daily, the Forward, which Is printed in Hebrew characteres for | the benefit of the overwhelming Jew- ish population of the place—but He- brew characters spelling out Spanish, not Hebrew words! The newspapers of all Greece play R very important if not a dominant part in the politics so much the lead- | ing occupation of the Greeks.

It is by far the newsiest sheet to be had in Saloniki, for it prints all the official communiques of the various countries at war, as well as a great deal of information gleaned from the wireless service of the French battleship. It is distributed free of charge to all the Allied ships lving in the harbor, to the headquarters and various other offices of the Allied armies on land, and may be subscrib- ed for by private individuals at the rate of fifty cents a month. nce the arrival of the British troops, an Inglish newspaper has al been started and is said to be very properous. It is called The Balkan ews, and.is published wunder the suspices of the editors of the French journals I'Opinion and I’Independent.

ALL STORE morning and L’ndependent the even- | are | is | FIND PREHISTORIC RUININMESA VERDE in National Park 17—The report the Secret of J. Walter Fewkes, Washington, Jan. just submitted to the Interior by Dr. of the Smithsonian Institution, who conducted the excavations of last summer in the Mesa Verde National park, shows that the ruins then un- earthed were of extraordinary inter- est. In fact, Sun Temple, as it k been named, is an altogether new and mysterious type of ruin. the discovery of which Dr. Fewkes calls a scrvice to American archaeology. The mound which Dr. Fewkes, at the request of the Interior Depart- ment, opened last summer lay on a point of the Mesa directly across CIliff Canyon, and opposite the celebrated prehistoric ruin known as Cliff Pal- shown signs of having been worked artificially, indicating the character of the masonry of some ancient build- ing undoubtedly buried below. Cedar or pinyon trees of great age grew upon the mound. Indications pointed to a building of large size. Dr. Fewkes had reported these facts as long ago as 1909 and 1t had become his great desire to penetrate the mystery. During the prosecution of the work last summer nothing reached print, although a ruin of large size and unknown character was rapidly emerging and hundreds of national | park tourists visited the spot and listened to Dr. Fcwkes's camp-fire [ talks at night. During the autumn a few hints of the importance of the | discovery became public; but the offi- cial report, here epitomized, contains the first definite information on the | subject. Of Entirely New Type. All his hopes, Dr. Fewkes reports, were realized. “The results of three months’ work,” he sa: riking than had heen expected. “There was brought to light a type of ruin hitherto unknown in the pari, and, as was well expressed by a vi itor, the building excavated shows the best masonry and is the most myster- ious ruin yet discovered in a region rich in so many prehistoric remains. Although at first there was some doubt as to the use of this building, it was early recognized that it was not con- structed for habitation. and it is now believed that it was intended for the performance of rites and ceremonies the first of its type devoted to re- ligious purposes yet re-organized tin the Southwest. Sacred Rooms and Others. There are about 1,000 feet of walls in the whole building. These walls average 4 feet in thickness, and double, inclosing a central core of rub- ble and adobe. They are uniformly well made. “The rooms in this building,” con- circular, th The former are sacred rooms; latter unknown. one kind being rectangular as ki the purpose of the s, or of about equal size in the original building and a third occupies the cen- ter of the annex. New Light on Pueblo Culture. Outside the main building is a cir- cular building with walls 4 feet thick which closely resembles the base of a tower. This was probably intended, like the “tower” in Cliff Palace, for ceremonial rites. One of the most interesting fea- tures is the embellishment of the walls by geometrical figures cut in their surfaces—a rare form of deco- ration. Several stones with incised figures were set in the walls. Gener- ally, the designs are geometric, but there are others, including the figure of a ladder leaning against a wall, turkey tracks and the sign for flowing water. Mystery of the Fossil Palm Leaf. “The fine masonry, the decorated stones that occur in it, and the uni of plan stamp Sun Temple as the | highest example of Mesa Verde ar- | chitecture.” | The walls were constructed of the | | sandstone of the neighborhood. Many stone hammers and pecking stones were found in the neighborhood. | One of the most remarkable fea- tures of the structures is a stone | fossil set in the outer wall near the southwest corner. Mr. F. H. Knowl- ton, of the United States National Museum, has identified this as the fossil leaf of a palm tree of the Cre- taceous epoch. The point is that the rayed leaf resembled the sun, and the ancient races were sun worshipers. A natural object resembling the sun would powerfully affect a primitive mind. Mystery of the Temple's Age. Naturally the two first questions asked about this structure concern its age and its uses. Both are myster- fes. “It is impossible,” says the report, “to tell when Sun Temple was begun or how long it took for its construc- tion or when it was deserted. There are indications that its walls were never completed, and from the amount of fallen stones there can hardly be a doubt that when it was abandoned they had been carried up | in some places at least 6 feet above their present level. ¢The top of the 6 feet in the interval between tho time it was abandoned and the date one can tell the length of this interval in years. Remarkable Development. This remarkable discovery marks, in his opinion, merely the beginning of a still more remarkable development. ““The Mesa Verde,’ he says, s unique in its educational importance. { It is destined ultimately to be a mecca for all students of the prehistory of the southwest and an object lesson to all visitors who wish to see the best | preserved buildings of pre-Columbian Mysterious Sun Temple Unearthed | | viz, | dwellings, the work this summer has ace.

No ! times in our country. It is self-evident that the excavation and repair of all the ruins in this park can not be ac- complished in a few years, even were it desirable to attempt it; the work means many years of arduous devotion intelligently directed, and a large sum of money. It is d ble to open up these precious remains of antiquity carefully, following a definite plan, availing ourselves of methods acquired by experience. The work should be done with care and it will be an addi- tional attraction if visitors can see how the work is done. “Three good representations of the type of ruins called cliff dwellings have already been excavated and repaired, Cliff Palace, Spruce-Tree House, and Balcony House, to which I have this year added another of the same type, viz, Oak-Tree (Willow) House. “Although we have always thought of the ruins of the Mesa Verde as cliff greatly broadened our ideas of the architecture, and hence the culture of the aborigines of Mesa Verde. Nine More Mounds. “There has been brought to light a new type, which is a new attraction and adds a new zest to the study. TwWo or possibly three other types await the shovel and pick of the explorer plead- ing for their turn. The great mounds You bet it’s good—it’s 0.K’d by Nature Good old Sun and Rain did their part.

The Mummy Lake cluster of mounds lies on the main road from Mancos, Colo., to Spruce Tree House, and with this advantageous position work here will from its inception arrest the at- tention of visitors and increase inter- est in the park. “But excavation and repair of the nine large mounds in the Mummy Lake cluster will bé a work of great- | er magnitude than any in this line yet undertaken on the park.” Dr. Fewkes constructed an automo- bile road around Sun Temple so as to give free access. Many cars were run to the spot last year and made a road for themselves up to the road he con- structed. $75,000 RESIDENCE FOR PHILIP CORBIN To Build Magnificent Structure at "Sunnyledge'—W. T. Sloper Also Plans Fine Home. The Sunnyledge section, southwest of Walnut Hill park, which was opened more than a dozen years ago by Vice President E. Allen Moore, of the Stanley Works, is to be further enhanced this spring by the erection of two heautiful residences. Philip Corbin, who some time ago bought a sightly tract from Mr. Moore, W. H. Cadwell and the T. H. Brady estate, dwelling of the Georgian type. It is said the structure will cost $75,000 and that Mr. Corbin will have install- ed in it an organ to cost $20,000. Da & Brooks, the Hartford archi- tects, have the plans. The residence will be of stone and when completed will be the finest in the city. Mr. Cor- bin at present has apartments at the Britain club. The other residence will be hulir by William T. Sloper, who has Just bought from his father, Andrew .J Sloper, a 20 acre tract on Corbin avenue just beyond the junction of Lincoln street which has a frontage of 350 feet on the west side of the avenue. The residence will be set well back from the street and it is reported will cost in the neighbor- hood of $25,000. Brick and stone MR.

Your Next Logical Move Is Electric Power WITH YOUR FACTORY EQUIPPED WITH ELECTRIC MOTORS AND OUR SERVICF, THE COAL QUESTION IS FOREVER SETTLED HERE’S AN EXAMPLE: One morning last week a small New Britain Manufacturer called us by ’pho!le and told us he was entirely out of coal and could not procure any at once. The sit- uation was SERIOUS. He could not afford to be shut down a day, so he purchased am electric motor and had it installed. By night our service was connected to the motor and the next day his factory was in operation. After one day’s service this m.anufnc- turer told us that the new Electric Motor gave him much steadier power than his steam plant had ever given him and that he was very much pleased with our service.
