Remains of Ancient
City Discovered Near
Lake Superior Mines
Duluth. Minn.—Working from vague
descriptions of a supposedly ancieut
town near old copper mines on Isle
Lioyale, off the Dorth shore of Lake Su
perior, William P. F. Ferguson, of
Franklin, Pa > archaeologist, found a
series of setnt underground dwellings,
which he said were the remains of a
city inhabited one thousand to two
thousand years ago.
Mr. Ferguson came out of the-district
recently from his third > trip with a
party of six aides and departed today
for the East after making known his
discovery in the hope of equipping a
par tv to make more extensive exam
inations of the-district.
“Everyone knows," Mr. Ferguson
said, “that copper was mined on Isle
Uoyale many years ago, on land now
covered with traces of the mines, and
yet almost nothing has -been done to
explore the workings,
“No one has found any of the remains |
of the old miners, although there are
many 9tories of finding several tem
pared copper weapons. I have found
several.stone- hammers, each supplied
with thoogs>~and have been interested
for the last three vears in establishing

"A writer named Gilman whs hi -

but his description and locations were
so vague that it was impossible for any

Mr. Ferguson made his first* rip into
the region at the outlet of Sikiwi't
lake, which he sanl liv thought tallied
with Gilman's data, but there was no
trace of a town. Last year he discov

150 Harem Beauties
In Need of Husbands
Constantinople. —Kafet Pasha, gov-j
ernor of Constantinople, is trying to'
find husbands for 150 members of the :
former sultan’s harem The women j
range in age from 17 to 35 years. AH \
of them are pent.iless!
Rafet also is anxious to solve the fate ;
of the former monarch’s numerous |
progeny, as well as that of twenty |
princes and princesses of the royal |
blood. Since the sultan’s flight the j
nationalist government has been sup- I
porting these women, in addition to 100 !
eunuchs and many servants. The gov-1
ment now has decided t hat these people '
must shift for themselves.
Women of the harem who are able
to find husbands will he permitted to
remain in Constantinople, but the re
... .. I ^ .... .if . !. .. . . i ...ill ...... . , .I . VaI .. i
homes in the interior. Most of the
women are Circassians and are de
scribed as “strikingly attractive ”
“It ought not to be diflictilt to find
husbands or helomates- for these
women.’’ said a palace functionary to
day. “They all were selected for their
beauty, youth, aod figure.
“Most of them were gifts to the sul
tan from governors of the provinces.
They have matchless complexions,
dark eyes and tong c':. stout colored
hair. All of them are verv religious,
faithful and affectionate.
“Since their imperial master has left
them without support, we must find
husbands for them or thev will starve.
All they expect is a modest dowry.
This under our law will be returned to
the husband if he should desire the
women afterward ”
Doctor Tells How He
Put Pen in ex-Kaiser
London,—The icma iuoly youthful
appearance of former Kaiser Wilhelm
on his wedding day was mentioned by
eye witnesses.
An explanation was made today,
when Dr. Burchardt, a Viennese sur
geon, who has just, arrived in Lender,
announced tha, he is ready to perfoim
operations identical to that which if- '
juvenated the former kaiser on pa- j
tients here, restoring their lost youth
and rejuvenating their faces aod fig
ures.
Dr, Burchardt claims his process, j
which does Dot involve the transplanta
tion of glands, but the removal of use
less organs and secret X-ray treat
ments; renews youth for a period <f
five to twenty years in suitable sub
jeots.
