During March, two Taos Indians from New Mexico came to the 

 Museum and sang native songs into a phonograph, in the presence of an 

 interested company of Museum people and visitors. Later, the Indians 

 danced and sang lief ore the tepee in the Phiins Indians Hall. 



Contributors to our orphans' fund have been very generous. We 

 now have enough money to support two of our children for another year. 

 But we lack $50.00 of being able to care for the third child. There is still 

 some time left to us, however, before the present subscriptions expire, 

 and it is hoped that the required sum will be obtained. 



Any of us who.se sympathies need quickening would benefit from a 

 walk past St. Mark's-in-the-Bou\verie next Sunday evening at about 

 7 o'clock. At that time, bread-line activities will be in full swing — some 

 500 wretched men in rags, lined up along the stone Avail, their backs 

 turned to the street, will be devouring the bread and gulping the coffee 

 distributed from the church. It is not a comfortable sight. But it is a 

 perhaps needed reminder of some of the things we are too apt to forget. 



On April 1st, Mr. Sherwood addressed the Buffalo Society of Natural 

 Sciences and the Hayes School of Natural Science, in Buffalo, on "The 

 Wonderful Work of Water." Dr. Fisher, Dr. Murphy and Mr. Andrews 

 have also lectured to this audience. 



It is reported that geologists working in Nagy-Szent-Miklos, 

 in Hungary, have found in the River Arauka a huge stone coffin believed 

 to contain the remains of Attila. Near the site have been discovered 

 beautiful gold vessels belonging to the period of Attila, and thought to 

 be part of the treasure buried with him. These are now being exhibited 

 in Vienna. The story goes that Attila's body, encased in three coffins, 

 of gold, silver and iron, respectively, was buried in a river turned from 

 its course for the purpose; that priceless riches were buried with him, 

 the grave closed, the river returned to its bed, and the slaves who had 

 performed the work killed so that they might not betray the secret of his 

 grave. The coffin which has just been found is so large that it is thought 

 to contain several others, perhaps the iron, the silver and the gold 

 coffins which held the remains of Attila the Terrible.
