Scientist-Sleuths \ iew Indian City \ isited by De Soto \ncient Louisiana Site \^'a= Capital of Tribes New Orleans.?A great Indian capital in Louisiana, visited by Hernando de Soto in 15-12 in his weary quest for gold, has been explored to its depths by scientific excavatorsThe modern archaeologists, seeking prehistory rather than gold, have better success to report than the Spaniards had. Digging has revealed the career of one of the largest Indian "cities" east of the Mississippi. The great mound which has been explored was once built to a height of 80 feet, making it perhaps the highest Indian mound in the South. A number of technical reasons lor believing that this site is most probably the important Indian capital of Anilco, are found Dy Winslow M. Walker who explored the mound for the Smithsonian institution. Was Thriving Community. Accounts from Spanish conquest times describe this city as having about 400 good houses, with a beau in u i e in me miuuic. ine com fields bore abundantly, and there were good stores of beans, mai^e, walnuts, and dried persimmons in this and surrounding towns. The Indian chief drew up before the town with a battalion of 1,500 picked men, but when De Soto's army advanced, the barbarian horde fled. This Indian capital is now shown to have been an old, old settlement even then. The first settlers who started the great mound carried masses of clay in skin sacks and dumped and packed down the clay to build a platform. The detective science of archaeology infers from their broken pottery that these unknown Indian pioneers were very much like the famous Mound Building Indians of the Ohio valley. Sfory of Mound Building. Their mound building was interrupted when the platform was only a few feet high, and the raised place remained a camping site, littered by ashes, charcoal, bones and broken dishes while two little pecan trees grew up to mark the passing of time. Then, Mr. Walker found, building was resumed by these people or o.hers. With logs and cane layers and sand, a group of tr.ounds were raised. Invisible "Keep Out" Sign Makes Roots Stay Apart Washington.?"No trespassing" signs are written in some kind of unexplored chemical language by growing roots, to keep other roots from invading territory which they have taken for their own. Indications of this are graphically shown in a device invented v Prof. M. A. Raines of Howard university. Professor Raines' new method makes the root system of plants visible throughout their entire growth. Against a slightly sloping sheet of glass he lays a sheet of dark paper or other absorbent material, kept moist by a series of wicks dipped into a suppb of water. The roots sprouting from seeds placed at the top edge of the sheet grow down the moist paper, and can be studied in detail. Ancient Roman Empire Is Being Sorveyed London. ? Countries of the world that once formed part of the ancient empire of Rome are now making a survey of that onetime empire. The French have completed their survey of the frontier in Syria, says a report to the British scientific journal Nature. A great part of the survey is necessarily being carried out by airplane, as many sites are in the desert and can only be Potted from the air. The Cherokee Scout, Universe Growing Larger, Belief of French Astronomer Reckons Milky Way's Age in Billions of Years NEW scientific evidence has been produced that the universe is expanding, thus allaying the fears of those who worry because the sun and the stars are destroying themselves by turning their masses into the radiation they emit. This evidence is presented in an article in the Astrophysical Journal published in Chicago. M. Henri Mineur, astronomer at the Observatory of Paris, reports calculations showing that the stars of the Milky Way. despite their age of ten: of thousands ot m Uions of years, have only radiated away about one hundredth of their mass Thus if one takes M. Mineur's estimate that Milky Way stars are from ten to twenty billion vears old, the apparent age ot the universe. before all the mass it radiated away, would oe about a trillion years. Compared to the life of a man who lives to be seventy-five years old. the star galaxy which contains the earth ano the Milky Way is only a baby, about nine months old. and cutting its first teeth. Upsets Other Theories. Significant to astronomers is M. Mineur's calculations showing that the stars in the Milky Way must have been formed in the beginning with almost the same mass which they have today. Present - held theories of star evolution, therefore, must go by the board if the trench astronomer's calculations and the observations on which they are based are correct. Says the French astronomer: "The upper limit we have found for the age of the stars is so small that, in so brief a time, the great majority of the stars cannot have lost more than a hundredth part c their mass. We must therefore believe that the stars were tormed with nearly the same masses as they have now, and that the difference in temperature and spectral type actually observed are due to the fact that the stellar masses were already different at the time Oi their formation. "An evolution of the stars such as has been generally accepted is. then, impossible. Our result is, hcwever, in perfect agreement with the theory of the expansion ol the universe. "G. Lemaitre has suggested a hypotnesis for the formation ot the extragalactic nebulae based upon his theory of the expansion of the universe, according to which the age of the Milky Way would not exceed ten thousand million years." "Eat Eggs," Doctors Advise Sufferers With Arthritis Richmond.?"Eat eggs" is the message of five doctors of the Medical College of Virginia to people who suffer from arthritis. Drs. J. C. Forbes, R. C. Neale, O. L. Hite. D. B. Armistead and S. L. Rucker have found that diets wvuv.il wuMUU ca gi cai ucttJ ui auiphur and little carbohydrate are beneficial to sufferers from the painful disease. Arthritis, these doctors find, is accompanied by the presence of indole in the blood. This is a chemical produced by the decomposition of body products. It has long been known to be deleterious. To remove this indole the body needs sulphur. The Virginia doctors therefore feed their arthritis patients on diets which have such sulphur, such as is found in meat and eggs. To aid in preventing indole production in the body only very little carbohydrate is fed. Such foods as potatoes and rice are entirely eliminated. i Lapland Revealed as Warm in Stone Age Stockholm.?More than 30 settlements of human beings dating from the Stone Age, or about the year 3000 B. C., have been unearthed in Swedish Lapland by Kurt Tinnberg, Stockholm, archeologist. In a few months he has gathered some 3,000 flint tools, weapons, and utensils, said to be the most northerly ever found in Sweden. Murphy, N.
