The Ohio Serpent Mound.The famous Serpent Mound, in Adams County, O.. where the Peabody Museum of American Archaeology has long had workers unearthing the secrets uf the strange structure, has been bought and turned into a magnificent park, for perpetual preservation. It U the most notable of all the mounds of this country. Prof. Putnam has recently found reasons for reversing tho opinion that had been growing among scholars, that this mound, and all similar structures, were the work of Cherokee or Shawnee, or other historic tribes of Indians. He concludes that at least the Serpent Mound was the work of a race of men either identical with the ancient Mexicans or akin to them. The preservation of our most important and characteristic monuments of antiquity should engage i t only our universities, but the (iovern-raent Harvard, with Prof. Putnam, has so far been left to do the work iu Ohio. — St. Louis (jlobe-Democrat.
