The vote “or the appropriation was 22 to 6. Most of the members were of the pinion that the meeting would be a asere formality for thé ralsing of the aoney and when ex-Mayor Orson F. turtis and ex-Alderman John O'Brien, saders of the opposition began a eated discussion concerning the prop- | Tty they received a start.

Walter Fewkes, chief of the bureau of American ethnology of the Smithsonian institution, recently re- turned from an investigatidn in the dbsolutely nothing of the lost race whose ceramics, first found by him in 1913, are pronounced to be among the best ever unearthed in North America. The figures of men and animals, birds, fish, reptiles and insécts, as well as geometric designs of unusuval ex- cellence, decorate the pots, bowls and 1 pther household articles found by Dr, Fewkes. The representations of life are full of action, and it is difticult for scientists to understand how the ancient inhabitants of the valley were able to achieve the accuracy and per- fection of the involved designs with- out the ald of mechanical devices. The pottery has been found for the most part under the floors of the ruins of angcient buildings, and com- mercial exploitation of the material has become so0 widespread that the valley ruins are being rapidly de- molished and the instructive arche- ological objects lost to science. One reason for Dr. Fawkes' visit was to made a collection for the National Museum before the supply was ex- hausted.

A dispensary and hospital to care for either railway employees or for travelers will be located in nnother‘ section, Among the other features planned for the station will be dry goods and wearing apparel stores, florists’ shops and the latest devices for announcing the arrival and departure of trains. The total cost of the main building will be 810,000,000 and the construc- tion work will take 18 months. “Bassinette’” 18 really a word of French origit méaning a cradle made of wicker, Chauffeurette !

BLGermany is rapid- ly displacing Switzerland as a center for all sorts of political agitators and refugees, They are attracted here by the falling mark and the tolerant at- titude of the government. Switzerland rapidly is losing favor with radicals of all sorts, Persians, Turks, In- dians, Egyptians, Arabs and Tunisians are so numerous in this city that they have .united in the erection of a Mo- hammedan mosque in one of the best residential sectlons of west Berlin. Mohammedanism gained consider- able foothold in Germany during the war. Many Mohammedans who were fighting with the Russian forces were taken prisoners by the Germans, or voluntarily gave themsel¥es into Ger- man hands, because they did not wish to fight against the Islamié¢ brothers, the Turks. These Mohammedans were treated with great consideration by the Germans, who placed them in a camp at Wuensdorf, a Berlin suburb. A mosque was erected there for them, and they were given every opportun- ity to live in acordante with their re- liglon. In fact, they were guests of Germany, rather than' prisoners, The missionary who is directing the construction of the new mosque be- long to an Indian Islamic move- ment which has over 500,000 adher- ents and is seeking to make the fol- lowers of Islam less fatalistic, without altering in any way the teachings of the Koran.
