’ $ r___ HOME IN ROGKS TELLS OF ges! Remarkable Discovery Made By Revenue Cutter Men. ! Btructure Built by Primordial Man Is Found in the North. ‘ Special Dispateh to The Call, | TACOMA, Dec. 18.—Not since temasity began delving into the mysteries of the existence of primordial man has a dis covery been made so rich in its sugge: tiveness of the home life of the prehis- toric races as that made by the revenue cutter Bear on. her recent cruise to the retic ‘Ocean.

It was built after the plant of houses of the primitive inhabi- tants of America. Ribs of an enormous whale,. or of some animal now extinct, were d for the framework and over these skine had been stretched. The ekins had rotted away ages ago, but the framework was int The country surrounding Point Barrow is proving remarkably rich in prehistoric relics, and tusks of the mastodon and bones of anim: now extinct can fre- quently be found. In fact, there is evel evidence that the great plain was once a favored region of the earth, abounding in animal life and covered with immense vegetati fore and grasses. Fos- silized and rbo: ed remains of this tropic vegetation and the remains of tropic animals abound. SOME ANSWERS | TO QUERIES BY | CALL READERS TER SUNDA ] y in 189 fell on April TTLESHIPS—G.
