s I y.\nishin<; kacj: SCIENTIFIC STCDIES OF THE NORTH AMERICAN INDIANS. O. P. Putnam's Puiic. T^ mystery thai was -formerly ™**** to hang over ,ome of the al.orieinal «»^°«> Amerl,a hnsbeen pretty thoroughly di^i pated by modern ethnological research The "vanished ra.es" of mound builders and ..Iff dwellers and the civilized tribes of Mexico are 'ow record to have been, together , ith ,h. rsm'tmaux. of the same stork as the red 'nd iax, 6"-th.6 "-th.- different between them being due to different stages of advancement, and hence not of kind, but of degree. Mr. DHlenbaugh. in this admirable *tudy of the Indian race, has en forced thts fact and added to Uncertainty of it If any addition were SLLlSinr. He writes of the "Amerind,." „ he rails them In accordance with the term adopted by the Bureau of Eth nology not only as an archaeologist thoroughly at home in .he results of recent Investigation and a contrD>utor to them himself, but a- one familiar with many different tribes by intimate contact with 3hem. His examination of the his torical questi.ms involved. Us discussion of the languages and »i'rttinsr. the industries, the man ners and customs, the folklore nd the organiza tion and government of the Indians, touches all side? of the SB***) end Rives the unprofessional reader a complete- and. in many ways, a novel view of th. Indian -an.l his real position In his tory One of the mm* valualfle features of the book Is its Illsiiall— which are very numer ous and derived from authentic sources. Wherever they came from originally— Mr. Drllenbaugh B*cnw>to favor the theory of an ex ceedingly remote peopling of this continent from various directions-thr>re is no d.,ubt that the "Am-rfnds" long ago 3^came homogeneous. The differences in their attainments in civilization were due to differ, in their surroundings and other conditions. iS>lirUH» climatic changes. Everywhere there are evidences to show that "the North American tribes were everywhere working and gradually oorquerine: the secrets of nature juft as cur • BtßtS <Ud. ar.d Just as we are still d «sk to-day; some doing more. other* tern: some belac sat*. and others clum sy. Ignorant and dull." Mr. l>l2er.baug!; de fends the Indian from the discredb usually at tributed to him of "Fhiftl^sness." Evidences of his tell are found everywhere on the continent. His life was one of almost constant labor— for hunting with him was a means of livelihood— end there are proofs of his f1<:!1 In many differ ent things, and in making the best use of the mean? at his disposal. The invention of the mow house of the Esquimaux, for instance, is "or>e of the greatest triumphs over environment man has ever accomplished." The same kind of adroitness in taking advantage of resources at hand is Ehown in the great adobe structures of the "Ameritids" in Northern Mexico and the Southwestern. I'nited States. The cliff dwell ings, which some writers would clothe with mys tery, were no more mysterious than dwellings now occupied— they — constructed in cliffs pimply because it was exi»*diont to build them there, and n»>t because the builders were a race apart from olher "Amerinds." So. as Mr. Dellen baugh observ*-?. "it is not sensible, when some etyleof construction is discovered differing from that which we .have bssa accustomed to see. to ascribe it to poiw mysterious race." The mystery of the "mound builders" has gone with the reft. Tin** mounds that have been found In large numbers weiv> foundations for buildings or were deft-nref. or were connected with relig ious rites in various -ways; and it is not neoes sary to look beyond 'tfc»* Indian for the origin of them— that is. beyond the Indian as he was known in the regions^where the mounds occur. He built mounds after the whites arrived; and if he built one or several, he might have built all. The reputed ski!', shown In the carvings found in mounds has be»»n greatly exaggerated k by romantic writers:, andf-the alleged likeness of I certain animal forms to. far off tropical beasts 'and birds is shown to be< non-existent. In fact, on the slightest accurate fiiV>-si!g-ati<.ij the "mys tery bubble" bursts. Contrary to the long; prevalent idea that the Indians never worked and were Incapable of doing more than weaving baskets, most tribes carried on farming, and other industries were not uncommon. In the West and Southwest they built ten Rive Irrigation works. Mining was done in different parts of the continent; the rich I,ake Superior copper deposits, once con sidered the scene of one of the "mysterious" people's labors, were the most extensive known m the Indians. The workers in these mines had a knack of getting the almost pure copper out of the ground, but they were not different on that account from their neighbors. The knowledge of working it was limited, and no objects have been found demanding skill in manipulating a quan tity of the metal at once. The "Amerinds" are to be properly described as In the Stone Age of culture. Mr. Dellenbaugh has extremely interesting chapters on the languages and dialects, the Mexican sad Central American writing, the amusements, music and game*, the customs and ceremonies, myths and legends, all of which are treated with acuteness and Insight, but neces •atily i>om»what briefly. The languages chow great divergences, and though the comparative study of them 1 as not« yet advanced far. there seems to have been no progress In finding rela tionships between the various branches. Much work has jet to be done to rescue many facts about the languages, manners and customs of the Indians from oblivion, and it must be done speedily; for. as Mr. Dellenbaugh points out. the title of his book. "The North Americans of Yes terday." is based upon a fact: "There are still some "Amerinds' extant, and a few are even yet apparently leading the old time life. Neverthe less, they are merely remnants of a people whose sun baa set, and who therefore properly belong to yesterday." THE ARTUVM.W If,! |/) ¦ A PERSUy PARALLEL. From The Athen»um. The following anecdote from the •Taahklrmtu -a .: ya" ("Remembrancer of the Saints") has :n Its main feature* a strong family likeness to the tale of Sir Kediv.re and the brand Excall bur In Tennyson's Passing of Arthur." Doubt !*•• legends of the Fame type occur elsewhere although I cannot ray so definitely, but as this one belongs to a Persian book that has not hitherto been translated, or even published ex cept In Asia. It may perhaps claim attention from th* curious. Al-Tlrmldhl lived In the first half of the ninth, and Faridu'ddln "Attar who composed the "Tadhklratu M-Aullya " in the twelfth century.

Tin: i.a.st TEARS or THE >"25 I HBI2r (KXTIKV. By Elizabeth \\ ... meley l-itimer Octavo, pp. 115. Chicago: A. C M<-< lurg & < 9. Mrs Worn.eley rails her book a continuation of be,- previous volumes on the events that have occurred In various European countries In the nineteenth century. It is divided into sections, relating to France. Russia and Turkey. England. Europe In Africa. Italy and Austria-Hungary, and Spain, and covers the last seven or eight •wars In its narrative. Those years have been thickly crowded with the material for history; and while the writer has not undertaken to write history in the larger sense, she has given an In telligent, well ordered and really readable ac count of the Important happenings in Kurope and— so far as relates to the Spanish war-in America during that time. It needs, doubtless, a more ample perspective than Is at present af forded to put these events in their true rela tions, or to appraise them In any final way. Mrs. \\ormei.y has scarcely undertaken to do that. She has simply given an Intelligent observer's account of things jis they have passed, rescuing them from the confusion of detail and uncer tainty In which they are apt to present them selves day by day. and showing them In so much of duality as can be ascribed to them In bo short a time after their accomplishment. Her talent for clear statement and her usually sound Judgment have made her book a useful sum mary of recent events. Her treatment of the last years of the century In France begins with the Panama scandal and ends with the disposition of the Dreyfus case and the accession of President Loubet. She has ample opportunity of showing the Inconsistencies of French ideas as to Justice and expediency in public affairs. M. BaThaut. for instance, was the only one of the six Cabinet ministers prosecuted for criminal complicity in the Panama dealings who had the courage to admit the truth and plead guilty, whereat he was bitterly reproached not only by his colleagues, but by the public, for showing a want of patriotism! And of course the Dreyfus case is full of such anomalies. The verdict in the latter Mrs. Wormeley "cannot but think now. under the circumstances, the best thing that could have been done." Neither party triumphed by it. and Dreyfus, having re gain..! all he had lost save bis military honor, if he be truly a patriotic Frenchman, will resign the barren satisfaction of military rehabilita tion for the tranquillity of the country. In Russia the new Czars political purposes are Interpreted by the chronicler to be dlscouragment of all aspirations for parliamentary government as a system unfitted for peoples too ignorant or too much influenced by demagogues to employ it to advantage. His rescript against the Finns is hard to understand, but apparently this at tack on the ancient constitution of Finland "was planned by some of the Czar's advisers who are opposed to his liberal and kindly tendencies. ' and his assent was given with the intention of using the increased imperial power he gained thereby in promoting Internal Improvement. The disturbances and massacres In Armenia are the subject of a detailed description: but the Sultan himself, in Mrs. Lstln>er*s opinion. Is one than whom no man in Europe needs more pity on ac count of the stat» of his empire and the nttltude of the power*. The complications of affairs In Crete and In the Balkans are Intelligently cleared up. and the minor frontier contests in India, together with the terrible visitation of plague and famine, are recounted. Egypt is», Of course, the subject of a more detailed narrative; and Lord Kitchener's campaign?, together with the events that led up to the Faßhoda Incident, are told at length. In her treatment of the Boer war Mrs. I^atlmer is a thoroughgoing English partisan; her view Is thus epitomized: ¦When your house Is entered forcibly, what can be expected but that you should do your best to turn out the burglar? Unfortunately for Eng land, too much attention had been paid t- the conscientious scruples of people at home about provoking war by hostile demonstrations. As to the future, she thinks that: While we are very sure that there will be no third restoration of "independence" to republics which have made so bad a Ufe of former gener osity, we have every reason to hope that so brave an enemy will be treated with all Justice and consideration. insect srnjy. I'OPI'I.AR WORKS ON ENTOMOLOGY. INSECT I.IKE. An Introduction to Nature Study and a Guide for Teachers. Student* and Other* interested in outdoor life. Hy John Henry Com- Ptork.

MOSQUITOES: How They Uve; How They Carry DlFeaje; How They Are Classified; How They ' May Be Destroyed. Hy I, O. Howard. Ph. D o<t;.vo. pp. xv. 2«. McClure, Phillips * Co. One of th«» most pleasing and practicable branches of nature, study for the average high school pupil Is that which is concerned with Insects. These can be observed more easily than birds, and larger collections of them can be obtained. Moreover, some of the specimens which the amateur entomologist la able to capt ure are exquisitely beautiful. In "Insect Life" Professor John Henry Comstock wisely confines i himself to a detailed description of the princi pal forms which one will encounter In Ameri can ponds, brooks, orchards and forests, and along American roadsides. And while he Is careful to emphasize the structural differences upon which classification depends, he avoids anything like mere enumeration, and mingles i poetry with technicality. The usefulness of the book Is enhanced by several chapters on the collection and preservation of Insects, and Its beauty by the colored plates which supplement the wood engravings. These are of unusual ex cellence and striking truth to nature. There Is still some question as to the extent to which mosquitoes are concerned In the propaga tion of malarial diseases and yellow fever. Some Investigators hold them exclusively responsible, : while others believe that these Insects are only i one of several agencies concerned. But even th. latter view of the case gives to them an Impor tance which they did not enjoy a few years ago. It la especially desirable, therefore, to know which genera have been convicted of this grave offencf and which are regarded innocent, how to distinguish between them and how to deal with the pests. Dr. I-. O. Howard has treated all these phases of the nubject In hi* book on "Mosquitoes." He Is confident that these trou blesome creatures can be exterminated complete ly with suitable co-operation and diligence, and at little expense. The stagnant pool* wherein* they breed should be drained or filled up. If pos sible, and such seemingly Insignificant but avail able receptacles as tomato cans should not be permitted to contain water. Petroleum poured on the surface of ponds that cannot be obliter ated kills the lan-* and prevents th» full devel opment of the inrects. The author gives reasons for doubting the alleged virtues of eucalyptrM leaves and the castor oil plant la driving away matured mosquitoes. NEW-YORK DAILY TRIBUNE. SATURDAY. JUNE 22, IJWI.
