- The Cliff Dwellers of New Mexico: The aboriginal America race that preceded the Pueblo Indians and built these ancient communal dwellings; these circular ruins contain 127 cell-like rooms and afforded shelter to about 1,500 people. Access to the dwellings is very difficult. A narrow dangerous path leads down from the top of cliff. Although peaceful people, these "cliff palaces" were at the time of habitation veritable fortresses. Fashions at the Beach: See the novel and nifty costumes exhibited on our bathing beaches. Here is Diana, of the sea. Chicago girl. The Zebra effect. The Queen's Cloak and the Geisha girl. The Whaling Industry: In the 18th century whale fishery was one of the most important industries, but has declined, owing to the restricted use of whale oil and whalebone. The primitive form of capturing marine mammals was by throwing a hand harpoon. The modern method is the harpoon gun. Whales are valuable chiefly for their oil. Their teeth were once our chief source of ivory. A Peep into Jungleland: Oswald, aged 250 summers and as many winters, partakes of 55 pounds of beef three times yearly.
