VOL. 28. NO. 49. SACRED LA LAKE GUATAVITA AS IT WAS I N a room on one or the upper floors of a New York hotel a man stood with a cigar box in his hand and gazed proudly at the articles that it contained. They were not cigars—not anything that one might expect to find in a cigar box; they were queer little rings and toys of thin beaten gold, rough green stained diamond circles of golden brown amber. The man took them out of the box and held them in his hand. "El Dorado," he said softly, "El Dorado, after centuries. The gifts of the golden man. The treasure of the sacred lake." Out of the Indian legends of centuries ago, the wonder-tales of the Spanials in the New World, the man with the cigar box explained, had come these strange bits of gold and precious stones. Modern enterprise is discovering the lost treasure of a South American superstition. The sacred lake of El Dorado, the water of Guataya into which Andean tribes threw their riches to "El Dorado," he said softly, "El Dorado, after centuries. The gifts of the golden man. The treasure of the sacred lake." Out of the Indian legends of centuries ago, the wonder-tales of the Spaniards in the New World, the man with the cigar box explained, had come these strange bits of gold and precious stones. Modern enterprise is discovering the lost treasure of a South American superstition. The sacred lake of El Dorado, the water of Guatamala into which their tribes threw their riches to their gold, has been drained, here are some of its treasures. Hartley Knowles, the man with the cigar box, is an English engineer who has made the excavations and has now brought some of the things to America. He says himself that they are all exceedingly valuable as antiques, and, intrinsically, as gold and gems. One of the Americans to whom Mr. Knowles has showed his treasures adds that the excavation of the sacred lake of the Andes brings with it a possibility that the excavator has apparently not thought of in discoveries as to the lives of prehistoric peoples and in civilization of prehistoric times. The story that lured a modern Englishman to South America, and is interesting American coloons in South American discoveries, is the story of the Spanish half-century googled the Spanish adventures to conquest in the unknown western world. It is the story of El Dorado. It is a tale that most of us have heard long ago, and long ago forgotten. It is the legend of the holy lake. Upon the original story of the sacred lakes of the Chibcha tribes in the northern part of South America innumerable myths have been built. The early tales themselves are well-nigh shrouded in mystery and somewhat obscured by legend. Yet the story of El Dorado has its historical foundation, the lakes of Guatabita, the lakes of Vitaca, or Guatabita, is accredited by historians today. Much of the wonder-tale of El Dorado as the Spaniards and their followers built it on the first substructure is probably untrue. But the story of the lake, so far as historians have been able to ascertain, is a bit of real history—the tale of a people and their sacrifices, the record of wealth thrown away in a religious ceremonial as an offering to the gods, the true story of an ancient superstition. According to the legends, old by travelers and the historians, the Andean tribes of the Chibcha venerated the mountain lakes of their province, and into them threw their jewels. Great feasts and great fastings, the accessions of rulers, the celebration of a pilgrimage, the prayer for the tribe's good fortune—these were all accompanied by gifts of the gods; the gifts were thrown into the lake. Of these mountain lakes Guatabita was the largest and most important; here most of the feasts were held, the offerings made to the gods. And here excavators and engineers go from Engineer Guatabita to diggers and engineers and set up modern apparatus to drain the lake. The lake is drained now as nearly dry as the excavators do to make it. Quantities of pottery, gold and precious stones have been taken out. The excavations are still going on, and, it is believed that the discoveries have only begun. Various attempts have been made, in the last four centuries, to find the treasure of Chibcha piety; this latest effort is proving successful. "I should say that the gold and gems already taken out amount to about $20,000," said Mr. Knowles, who is left. I shouldn't dare to say. But I think that we are just reaching the most interesting part of our work and our discovery. "I think that most of what we have taken out up to date is from the sides of the lake. We have not yet dig down to the bottom, and we don't know just how much more we have to dig THE APPEAL. "Not only was the ceremonial of Guatavita particularly elaborate, but it gave rise to the stories of El Dorado which so fired the imagination of the early conquerors and gave such an impetus to the exploration of the interior. According to Fresle, the population of the neighborhood repaired to the sacred lake of Guatavita clad in their finest ornaments of gold and feathers. Inumerable sacrificial fires were kindled on the banks, and the lake was encircled with a cloud of incense. The ruler-elect was divested of his garments, anointed with an adhesive earth, and powdered with gold dust. Attended by his four principal sub-chiefs he embarked upon a reed raft ornamented with gold dust and furnished with four braziers for incense; at his feet was piled a mound of gold and emeralds, and amid the shouts of mum and笛 and the sound of whistles and other instruments, he entered the middle of the lake. There he plunged into the water and washed off the offerings of gold dust, and the gold and emeralds were thrown in at the same time, the four chiefs making offerings on their own account. The raft then returned and the proceedings terminated with the revelry and chicha drinking so dear to the heart of the Colombians." before we reach it. But, according to the stories, the bottom of the lake is where the richest treasures are. We have most of us heard in our childhood that the Spaniards of the sixteenth century dreamed of "El Dorado," the land of gold, and that they sought for it in strange and savage and ever hopeful ways among strange and savage peoples. We have read how the lust of gold seized the adventurers of Spain, and they pressed into the wilderness and found-conquered more and more land without ever finding the land of gold. But, as a matter of fact, the Spanish explorers did find El Dorado. Only El Dorado landed of gold; it was the golden man. And the treasure of the golden man's gift was not a treasure that could be found on the land it lay at the bottom of a lake, and the Spaniards could not drain it. The story of the real El Dorado is the story of the religious festivals of the Chibchas. The chief with his gold-dust coat was in real- legend and Indian highland man of Spanish legend and Indian highland man of Spanish The tribes of the Chichua, according to recent historians, occupied the plateau region of the northeastern province of Colombia, and were among the richest, the most magnificent, and the most enlightened of South American tribes. In the past, the tribes of the Andean handicrafts, they ranked with the Aztecs of Mexico and the Incas of Peru. Their land was rich in emeralds. Gold they procured in great quantities from their immediate neighbors. Rich textiles and dyed cotton stuffs, as well as the feathers of beautiful birds, added to the wealth and their magnificence. Amber they obtained from the tribes, and from the other side of the world they procured in some unknown manner some quantity of lade. Splendid as were the ceremonies attending the consecration of the tribal chief at Guatavita, or Guatabita, as professor Joyce calls it, the national pilgrimages and feasts were still more important. These pilgrimages were made periodically to all the chief lakes of the country. The northern Chibcha honored Guatavita almost exclusively, while the southern tribes paid their religious homage at Ubaque, south of Bogota. While the chiefs and nobles were throwing their gold and jewels into the sacred waters, the common people were burying theirs by the side of the lake or in secret places not far removed from the holy waters. Many curious bits of pottery have been recovered from the neighborhood of the lake of Guatavita. Savage, uncontrolled in their indulgence of the arts of pleasure that they had cultivated even more eagerly than the arts of war, they were yet a thoroughly religious people. Their heirarchy of gods and goddesses had passed beyond the simple worship of the forces of nature and included definite deities with definite powers and included occasionally they offered up human beings to occasionally they sacrificed taking parrots to avert calamity. But for the most part they gave their possessions to their deities, and worshipped, with barbaric wealth of sacrifice, at the sacred lakes. When Mr. Knowles came to America a short time ago he brought with him many of the treasures that he had taken from the sacred lake. Most of the pieces are small. Whatever may be their value as ancient pieces of handicraft, the emeralds are undoubtedly the richest "finds" in intrinsic worth. M. de la Kier of the Royal Institute of Paris is quoted as estimating the probable value of the articles in the lake at several million English pounds. But such estimates are, of course, guesses. The bottom of the lake has not yet reached, and is still in a semi-liquid muddy state. It is hardened that the articles taken out to date were thrown in the sides of the lake and have been. In the same since, carried toward the center by the pressure of the mud. The number of pottery vessels found seems to substantiate this view. There were five of these lakes in the district that we now know as Colombia—Guatavita, Guacaca, Slecha, Teusaca, and Ulaque; of the five, Guatavita was by far the most important, Ubaque being its nearest rival. The people made pilgrimages to all the lakes, but to Guatavita most of all, and with the richest gifts. It was at the lake of Guatavita that the great ceremony of the Chibcha tribes took place—the installation of the chief. Guatavita was the most important center of the Chibchas, the religious "capital" of the tribe. The work done by Mr. Knowles' company—which is incorporated in London under the name of "Contractors, Limited"—is but the final link in a long chain of explorations that stretches from the times of the Spaniards down to the present day. The chief who came to his kingdom with sacrifices to the holy water of the plateau was an absolute monarch, whose power rested largely on the assumption that he was semi-divine. No subject dared his leader in the face, but in the royal presence turned aside or assumed a stooping attitude. No messenger might approach the chief without hearing a gift, not to win the royal favor, but merely to do homage to the royal state. Over every detail of his subjects' lives he ruled, and if a man of Guatavita wished to alter the style of his dress he must ask his leader's permission and receive the new garment from the royal hand. In his "South American Archaeology" T. Aisha Joyce of the British Museum denounced the Zipa of Bogota: "His garments were of the cotton cotton, his thighs was of gold studded with emeralds, and he tweaked in a litter hung with golden plates. His head dress was of gold, and a golden crescent ornamented his brow; nose and ear ornaments were of the same material, and also the breastplate he wore upon his chest." In 1562 Antonio de Sepulveda of Santa Fe de Bogota lowered the waters of the lake to fifteen feet, or thereabout, and is said to have taken out great quantities of gold and an emerald of rare beauty. Sepulveda had made his attempt by digging a trench, and before the work could be flushed the sides of the trench caved in, and the waters began to rise again. During the three centuries that followed several attempts to drain the lake, always by means of trenches cut from above, were made and failed. In 1897 a small company of native engineers was formed and three years later sold out its rights to Hartley Knowles, and his company. "I had read about the legends of the golden man," said Mr. Knowles, who stands sponsor for the foregoing history of the attempts to drain the lake, "and, being an engineer, I thought I should like to have a try. I have been working at it twelve years. The lake is drained as dry as it twelve years. If it is completely drained the mud at the bottom may solidify, and we do not want that. What we are after now is to dig down to what was the bottom of the lake 450 years ago. The present bottom is, of course, a sediment of years. The lake is cup-shaped, is about 10,000 feet above sea level in the Colombian Andes. It took four years to drain the lake. Now we are excavating. For five years or more before a Chibcha chief became his people's ruler he must remain in seclusion, preparatory to the great ceremony of the lake. At the end of his rigorous period of probation—for it was also a period of stern self-delicacy—the chief's nose and ears were pierced for the ornaments of his rank, and he made golden offerings to the gods. Professor Joyce, who in his book describes the ceremonies of the sacred land, only attested facts, quotes from the history of the conquest and discovery of New Granada, by Juan Rodríguez Fresle, written in 1638: The government of Colombia has been most kind in letting us make the excavations and take on the things. Of course the interest that attaches us is for antiquarians, museums and collectors. Defective Page ALL ARE HAPPY HERE City of Munich Is Loved by People for Itself Alone. Even Americans Feel at Home and Are Not Stared at as Though They Were Curiosities—Noted Academy Here. Munich—In olden days when the people of Munich were starving an angel, disguised as a little child and dressed in the yellow and black garb of a monk, came down from heaven to help the people. Even to this day this little child, the Muncherkind Kinder, has been the symbol of the Munich people, and instills into them the true essence of peace and happiness. But it casts a magic hand over every stranger that enters its gates. Munich has the faculty of spelling all other places in the world for those who have once lived there. It is not beautiful like Vienna, nor gay like Paris, nor picturesque like Rotherberg, but it is just Munich, and is loved for itself alone. The cold unsentimental nirthern Germans style style the "City of Beer and Art," but what does the stiff Berliner know about happiness, or a cold Hanover know about contentment, or a freezing Hamburger know about sentiment? Munich has been called the city of happiness. Here you can live and be yourselves and no one makes a comment. If you can, you must pessimist the Muncherwill will not try to meet you, or if you are a gay optimist the Muncherwill will not stare at you; even Americans are not picked out as curiosities in Munich. Perhaps the wide streets and spacious buildings of Munich have something to do with the freedom of thought of its people. There is no cramped-up feeling here, that is so characteristic of most cities. Ludwigstrasse is one of the most imposing streets in the world. It runs from the village of Schwabing, a broad straight street, and lined with beautiful massive buildings, down into the center of town, and is terminated by a building that is a copy of the Loggia at France. In a way it is more beautiful than original, for it is raised from the ground and looks more imposing. Every Sunday morning city band plays here and the people gather Ludwigstrasse to listen to the music. Such happiness these people get from simple pleasures every afternoon. The same band plays in the Hofgarten and the park is packed with people who stop their work to feed their souls. Some parade back and Old Rathhauss in Munich. forth, while others sit at the tables along the sides and sip ices and coffee. But beneath all this apparent iden-ness and pleasure loving, Munich is a very busy place. It is the very heart of young artistic Germany, and the great revolutions that have taken place in newspaper and journalistic art have come direct from here, the home of the Jugend, the Simplici-ismus and other weekly papers. These magazines have introduced impres-SION to our English and American papers, but even still a Municher artist can tell a story in one line, for which an Englishman must use ten. The Munich academy is the second best in the world and has sent forth such men as William Chase, Frank Duveneck and Marilyn Seisser. If you ask a Munchenger who was the most important man in the world, the answer is either the prince regent, and Franze Von Stuck of Franze Stuck and an independent independent cropping out in his children. His little girl is a true little German fraulein, while his boy takes all his traits from his mother's ancestors, and is said to be no favorite with his father. Stuck is one of the teachers of the academy, but the best life class here is headed by an American from Milwaukee, Carl Marr. The Zugel animal class is one of the famous art classes of the world.

NOTED LAVA CAVE IN HAWAII Tunnel Made by Overflow of Molten Rock Discharged by Mount Mauna Kea. Hilo, Hawaii—A short distance from the town of Hilo, the capital of Hawaii, which is the largest island of the Hawaiian archipelago, is a wonderful lava tunnel, called by the natives the Cave of Kaumanu. Through this tunnel, which has an average width of 20 feet, flowed the stream of molten rock discharged from Mt. Mauna Kea, which, hard by, rears itself to a height of 13,000 feet. It is likely that the torrent originated high up the mountain, and, as the surface of the lava grew cold the molten stream sped on beneath, to emerge lower down as a fiery geyser, spreading ruin on all sides. To reach Kaumanu the traveler leaves the town by the main road. Entrance to Cave of Kaumanu From the Sea. says the London Field. Three miles out beds of lava begin to be encountered on every hand. It is 30 years since the flow ceased, and vegetation is now beginning to cover the area of destruction. The route follows the edge of the lava beds for a distance of about 20 minutes' walk, and then turns across the scattered array of hummocks to where, a hundred yards further on, is the entrance to the lava flow. This point is extensive and variegated. There is the blue expanse of the Pacific, perhaps dotted with vessels making for the harbor, or Japanese "power" sampans returning from a night's fishing. The smoke to the right ascends from Kilauea's mighty crater, and the scene is completed leftward by the snow-capped summit of Mauna Kea. But the special object of the trip is to see what lies below. The storekeeper who lives near will supply rough-and-rough torches for five cents, and the storekeeper will really required for the trip under ground, though there are some dainty mortals who bring a suit of overalls. The torches are joints of bamboo filled with oil, in which is a primitive wick, and they prove most effective. The opening to the tunnel is shrouded by a thicket of scrub. A wooden ladder leads down to the floor a distance of perhaps 25 feet. Rows of diminutive stalactites hang from the roof, glittering in their youth, for they are hardly more than 20 years old and the formative stage. The slides of the stalactite are smooth and sometimes damp, but the floor is scored and rough. A distance of three miles can be covered with the help of the torch, but care is needed where the tree roots thrust themselves through the roof of the tunnel. The presence of these pendant roots indicates that the surface of the lava bed is only a few feet above, and judicious blasting would usefully provide another entrance near the beautiful Rainbow Falls. In places crawling has to be resorted to, but a few strokes of a pickaxe would doubtless remove the necessity for even stooping.

CATHOLIC WOMEN TO BUILD They Plan to Erect a Church Near University at Washington—To Be Finished in a Year. Washington—Catholic women of the United States have banded together for the erection of a church at the Catholic university. The movement was undertaken when the necessity for a church building at the university was discovered and the women devotees contributed the fund. They will furnish the money, and also have a voice in the style of building to be erected. The structure will conform with the architecture in vogue at the university and it is expected that the building will be completed within a year. $2.40 PER YEAR. PERILS OF CLIMBING Woman Gives Account of Narrow Escape From Death. Guide Falls in a Crevasse While Scaking Peak in the Himalayas—Taken Unconscious and Died Soon From Injuries. Paris—Mrs. Fanny Bullock Workman, the mountain climber, writing from Skardu in the Himalayas, sends the first detailed account of the accident which gave rise to the report that she had been killed by an avalanche. She says. "We were crossing Bilapo pass about an 18,000 foot height when I and an Italian porter who had accompanied me on four Himalayan expeditions, left the caravan in order that Dr. Workman might photograph us in a picturesque standpoint. After we had been photographed the porter, we was carrying the rope, strode ahead. I was about three paces behind when suddenly without a word or a cry he disappeared, carrying the rope which was the only means of extrication. "I stood appalled on the brink of a hole in the ice and called to the others, who hurried to the spot. The head guide was in an hour in advance. Having only one extra rope remaining the guide called down the crevasse and a faint reply showed that, Chenoz the porter, was far below he still alive. Six started after the head guide, who was back in an hour and a half, when Chenoz was extricated from an eighty foot death. "He was still conscious, but there was no pulse and he was nearly frozen. He was carried to camp and everything possible was done for him, but he died the same night from shock. He had not been expecting to meet a crevse, and the accident was due entirely to his want of care. My own escape was simply miraculous." He wrote that describes the work of the expedition to the Slachen or Rose glacier, which is the largest and longest in Asia. During the nine days in July Dr. and Mrs. Workman and three Italian guides made the first ascent of four important snow passes at two sources of this glacier, the heights varying from 19,500 to 21,000 feet, which constitutes a record for glacial exploration. On two of these ascent Mrs. Workman established a relation of the northeast Kakarau water parting with Kashgar and two others and discharging into the unknown Kondus glacier. An important climb was also made to the great Silver Thorne plateau. more than 21- Distant View of Giant Peak of Himalayas. 000 feet east of the main peak of this group. From the northeast Slachen pass, a pass to Kashgar was found and a new group of high peaks discovered beyond the east Slachen boundary on the Kashgar side. The highest of those is 25,000 feet high. The sixth ascent was of a high peak northeast of Bilapho pass, which was crossed in reaching the Slachen. This was made on July 11. The last 800 feet of this peak was at an angle of 50 degrees and each step was cut on as surface of black ice. An extensive view of the summit enabled the explorer to map out much future work. For six weeks all the camps were above 17,000 feet and the cold was off en intense. Grant Peterkin, a London surveyer, was enabled, owing to favorable weather, to map the entire Rose glacier. Mrs. Workman's expedition of 1911 and 1912 makes the previously unexplored Siachem the most thoroughly explored of any of the HIK expedition of 1910. The expedition after traversing one of the new passes connecting the Siachem glacier with the Hondus will make the first descent of the Kondus glacier to Karmene and Baltistan.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1912 According to reports of experiments conducted by Prof. Reichert, of the University of Pennsylvania, with human blood, he has made some wonderful discoveries. The professor says he has been able to learn from a drop of blood whether it is the blood of a white person or a black one, from a male or a female, and, approximately, the age of the subject from which the specimen has been taken. If this is a fact there are a lot of people in this country who would not care to have their blood tested by the professor for fear that the presence of Negro blood would be detected. It would be a good thing for conductors to use down in jim crow car land so that they will be able to positively determine whether some passengers are white or black. It has not been very long since a dark-skinned Jewess, who was compelled by the employees of a Southern railroad to ride in a jim crow car. recovered $15,000 damages on account of that damphool law. And we know of numerous cases where light-skinned Afro-Americans have not been allowed to ride in the jim crow cars because they were presumed to be "pure" Caucasians. We don't believe that Prof. Reichert could have definitely decided in these cases, either. Governor Blease, of South Carolina, in his very foolish talks before the Governors' Conference in Virginia, has brought out the fact that all the white people do not agree with him in his unfair, inhuman theory of lynching black men. Many of the women in the audience showed their disproval of his rabid utterances by abruptly leaving the hall. And, Governor John F. Saforth, of Colorado expressed our sentiments pretty fairly when he said: "One mob can do more injury to society," he said, "than twenty murders, because a lynching permeates the entire community and produces anarchy. The influence of mob rule is most reprehensible. When laws are made it should be the duty of a governor to enforce them, whether he ap proves them or not. When the law prescribes hanging for an offense, and if a man is found guilty, he should be hanged, whether white or black, and there is no excuse for mob law. I conceive it to be our duty as governors to declare for law and order." NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS Odd Callings Are Found in Uncle Sam's Census Tests Confirm Danger of Common Stable Flies Fair Sex Drinks More Than Men in the Capital Capital Society Girls Abandon Sports for Art --- SNAKE BUSINESS IS A FINE BUSINESS ONE DOESN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT BURGLARS WASHINGTON—Oftentimes a man doesn't do as well at his own occupation as he ought to—thinks he has made a misfit and believes he can better himself. Here are a few suggestions for anyone thus dissatisfied from the thirteenth United States century. There is a snake merchant who has a ranch out in Texas and has for more than seven years made a business of handling snakes. In one year he sold over 150,000 rattlers and blacksnakes, getting from a quarter to two dollars each. Formerly all the parts of a shoe were made by a shoemaker; today this industry employs judges, fakirs, skis, sluggers, busters-out, cripple chasers, shoemakers—all engaged one way or another in the making of shoes or parts of them. SURGEON JOHN F. ANDERSON and Past Assistant Surgeon Wade H. Frost of the United States public health service have completed experiments which confirm the contention of Dr. Milton J. Rosenau of the Harvard Medical school, that infant paralysis is communicated by -the stable fly. At the International Congress of Hygiene and Demography here recurrent, Rosenau described his experiments. Rosenau monkeys with infantile paralysis, and adopted them daily from the time of inoculation till death to the bites of several hundred stable files. Twelve other monkeys were then exposed to the bites of these flies. At the time that Dr. Rosenau made his announcement of the twelve had developed symptoms characteristic of infantile paralysis. Of the six, two died, three were paralyzed and one recovered. In the cord of one of the monkeys were found the characteristic lesion of infantile paralysis. The cord of the other dead monkey showed the characteristic of the disease. At the commencement a sufficient interval had elapsed to determine the result of the attempt to transmit the infection of other monkeys by inoculation with BROTHER JOE THINKS IT AWful THAT I DRINK WOMEN, especially young girls, are rapidly becoming more and more addicted to intoxicating liquor in the national capital, while the men are rapidly growing more abstemious, according to Albert E. Sheoemaker, at the Anti-Slavery League of the District of Columbia. His accusation has aroused women generally here, and it is a subject of agitated discussion. Mr. Sheoemaker made his charge before the Women's Christian Temperance union, attributing the increasing thirst among women to the heavy competition among proprietors of handsome furnished cafes and their willingness to "take a chance" in permitting women and young girls to drink He also declared that under the ex- GROUP of Washington society girls have forsaken outdoor sports for the fine arts. In previous years most of the members of the smart set could be found almost any morning taking a "beauty ride" in the parks or on the speedway. Three mornings each week the daughters of cabinet ministers, soldiers and diplomats may be found leaning over casels, with brushes, studying oil painting under the tutelage of E. C. Messer, head of the art school of the Corcoran art gallery. The embryo artists do not seem to get any special attention from their professor just because they happen to be daughters of notables. When Professor Messer was asked what progress the members of his class were making he replied that they were all showing some talent, although he did not seem to realize that he was not made in the late additions to his class role. "Miss Nagel, the daughter of a cabinet officer?" he asked. "Why, it never occurred to me to ask who her father is. Girls are just girls when Jim and Joe, respectively aged ten and twelve years, were told to go out and cut and pile wood. Both played until dusk, and after supper their mother inquired: "Well, my boy, how much have you done today?" "Very wellly came Joe's answer: "I have done nothing." "I have been too late to hear his brother's remark, was put the second question: "And what have you been doing?" Quick as a flash the unfortunate young fibber answered: "Oh, I've been piling it up." Another man seems to be in a class by himself. In Kansas City he bottles the smoke of hickory logs. He says that when it is let loose in an air-tight compartment where meat has been hung it will produce the same results as though the meat had been cured in an old-fashioned smokehouse. There is a man out Seattle way whose business it is to secure the mustaches from walrus killed in Bering Strait. These stout bristles are plucked from the nose of the walrus by Indians, tied into small bundles and sold by the Seattle citizen (who made $1,000 by this traffic in 1911) to agents on the Pacific coast. The agents ship them to China, where they are in demand as toothpicks. In an aged bull warrus the bristles are long and hard as early as thick as a lead. The teeth tough, and when made into picks can be pushed between the teeth without injury to the enamel. Then there are also the whitier and the pouncer in a hat factory; a dock waller is a kind of longshore man; a vibrator works in a clock face; a worker works in connection with oyster; a teaser works in a class factory. the cord of one of the two that had died. Dr. Anderson and Dr. Frost sought to repeat the conditions of Dr. Rosnau's experiments. Their report made public the other day states that on October 3 monkey No. 242 was inoculated with an emulsion of the cord of the monkey which died of infantile paralysis. Until its death from the disease in October 8 the animal was exposed for two hours daily to the bites of 300 stable flies, collected in Washington. Another monkey similarly inoculated on October 7 was, beginning October 7, exposed daily to the bites of the same flies. Beginning October 4 two other monkeys were exposed daily for about two hours to the bites of these same files, and, beginning October 5, a third monkey was similarly exposed. All three monkeys dropped syrptoms of infantile paralysis. listing laws it was impossible to secure the conviction of those who sold liquor to minors. Insanity seizes upon the bachelor with greater ease than upon the benedict, despite the worry the latter is supposed to undergo, according to the report of the government hospital for the insane, just submitted to Secretary of the Interior Fisher. Another fact brought by the report is that out of nearly 3,000 patients in institution only three are being treated for insanity brought by the use of alcohol. This is contrary to the generally accepted theory which contributes to alcoholism a large proportion of the unfortunates. A significant feature of the reports lies in the statement that there are a far greater proportion of foreign insane patients than American, and that of the foreigners the majority are Germans. That insanity, in a large measure, is hereditary, is evidenced by the statement that the asylum scientists have discovered one family in West Virginia whose pedigree has been traced back through 675 individuals, of whom 54 were mentally defic then come to the school. But she is doing fine work. Miss Meyer and Miss Townsend are doing well also. Miss Townsend already has gone into the life class." Miss Townsend is the daughter of a former minister to Portugal. As a child she played with the deposed King Manuel. Several years ago the former playmates met in London, and it was reported that the king had asked her to marry him. Miss Hildegarde Nagel is the eldest daughter of the secretary of commerce and labor, and Miss Meyer is the daughter of the secretary of navy. There are about a dozen altogether in the class who were recruited from Washington's smart set. bounced by Women. Two of the most famous female religious orders in the world, the Sacred Heart and Sisters of Charity, were founded by married women. Mme. Barat organized the Sacred Heart primarily to look after the education of the poverty stricken daughters of nobility and aristocracy of France, stripped of their property by the terrorists and Napoleon. The Sisters of Charity were organized by Mrs. Elizabeth Seton, a well-to-day Protector convert to Catholicism. She was the daughter of a New York merchant, and she established the order to teach and minister to the massees. CAVE DWELLERS OF TUNIS High Cost of Lumber High Cost of Living Not Vital Question for Troglodytes—Many Other Advantages. Matata Tunis.—Warm in winter and cool in summer; inexpensive to build and inexpensive to keep in repair—such is some of the recommendations of the southern Tunis. The troglodytes, who live in them today are descendants of the men who lived in similar caves when the country was part of the Roman empire. A writer in the National Geographic Magazine describes entertainingly his visit to the region where they abound. Imagine arriving at a town of 5,000 people and not seeing a single house; only a pictureque mosque built since the French occupation. There are 2,000 people in the district, of which this town is Matata the chief city. All of them are troglodytes. There is, first of all, a great hole dug in the earth; the average hole is Crossing the Desert to Tunis. perhaps 28 feet deep and 45 or 50 feet in circumference. This hole is used as a path or courtyard. Numerous caves dug in the walls serve as living rooms, chambers and storehouses. One enters these dwellings by means of a passageway tunneled through earth or rock. Walking through the passage into the circular courtyard, open to the sky, one sees large caves cut into the sides, that serve as grain storehouses. There are also caves here for goats, sheep and donkeys. A square trough of masonry pipes the rain water into a large clistern in the center of the courtyard. It rains rarely, but when it rains, it pours, and every drop of water is carefully preserved—so carefully that horses and animals are watered only once every 24 hours, and all they want. Sheikh asks us to enter. The courtyard is full of kudron. Pushing open a door of palm tree boards, we enter the sheikh's cave. It was white washed. To the left is a wooden chest and a gun, one of many. Back of the gun is a shelf cut out of the rock, and an oil lamp standing on it—the shape dating back to Greek and Roman days. The wives of the sheik live in a cave similar to this, and so do their sons, and their wives and children. The question of rent is not of great importance. Hollowing out another cave is not a very difficult task. ODD MURDER VERDICT STANDS Why Missourian Is Ordered to Serve Life in Prison as Wife Slayer. Jefferson City, Mo.—Unusual circumstances surrounded the case of A. J. Bass of Greene county, Missouri, farmer, who was convicted on the charge of murdering his wife and sentenced to life imprisonment, which verdict was affirmed by the supreme court here. After Bass' house burned in January, 1911, the body of his wife found in the ruins. A coroner's jury decided that the woman met death in the fire. Later her body was exhumed and an autopsy revealed that she had been shot through the heart and several shot were extracted from her body. Bass was then arrested. At the trial the defense contended that Mrs. Bass. had been struck by shot from shotgun shells in the house, which were exploded by the fire. Neighbors who were attracted by the fire filled the room that they heard numerous explosions. It was burning. Much expert testimony was introduced to show that loose shells when heated slowly will explode. Judge Ferris, who prepared the opinion of the supreme court, found that the case was tried properly in the lower court, that the jury was the best judge of all the circumstances and that the verdict must stand. Supposedly Homesick Swan Berquist in Queer Acts at St. Cloud, Minnesota. St. Cloud, Minn.—Supposedly suffer ing from an attack of homesickness which for a time mentally unbalanced him, Swan Berquist, twenty-four years, jumped into the Mississippi river here recently, swam against a strong current to an island in midstream, turned around and swam back again and then ran down the river bank three times, he could be captured by an equestrian. When taken to the police station, where he was given an alcohol rub, Berquist seemed rational. Berquist came to the United States-six months ago and worked awhile in Boston, reaching here Tuesday. He will be examined as to his sanity. King Has New Adornment. Madrid—King Alfonso has turned out a splendid set of mutton chops thwart either side his jowls, the same kind of hirsute adornment his late father wore.

Stafford in a lecture delivered here on "polygaty in Ch MAY SOLVE MYSTERY English Expedition Soon to Start For Easter Island. Theory of Lost Continent Which Is Believed to Have Joined Asia With America—Trace of Giants Found. Victoria, B. C.—As a result of a port made by the officers of H. M. S. Algerine regarding the visit the gunboat (now overhauling at Esquimalt) made no long ago to Easter Island, a 250 ton auxiliary schooner has been launched at Winstone, England, to carry a party of scientific investigates reports of remains found of a lost race of giants. The vessel has been christened the Mana-Polynesian, for good luck, and the party, headed by W. S. Routledge, M. A., will proceed to the south sea island as soon as she is placed in dislusion. The island is the most eastern of the Polynesians, being about 2,000 miles from the coast of South America. Immense platforms formed of stone fitted together with cement are found to have been erected on the island facing the sea. Some of the stones weigh five tons, and in places these mysterious sea walls are thirty feet high and 200 feet long. On the land side of these platforms there are broad terraces, also of stone, bearing the pedestals on which stood huge figures carved out of lava from an extinct crater eight miles away. Most of these images have been thrown down, but there are 555 of them in the forty-five square miles of the island. The figures extend down to the hips, and the faces represent a receding forehead, a broad, adzelline nose, thin lips and a powerful chin. One of the smaller statues of Easter island—five feet high—is now in the British Museum, having been brought back by H. M. S. Tong which visited the island in 1868. Other British warships have also visited the island, the last being H. M. S. Algerine, which went from Esquimalt last year. No metal is found on Easter Island, and the only ancient tool found is a stone chisel, with which it would have been impossible to execute such colossal work. To drag the statues from the crater workshop over hill and dale to the platform must have required a far larger population than this island, with very scanty supplies of fresh water, could support. Some of the platforms weigh 250 tons and Picturesque Shore of Easter Island. It would need modern engineering appliances to move them. There is ample evidence that the making of these huge images was suddenly stopped and the theory has been advanced that the island is the last pinnacle of a submerged continent which occupied the greater part of the South Pacific and possibly joined Asia with America. Ruined temples of the same style are found on the mainland of America, in Indochina. Under the platforms are vast numbers of skeletons. Originally it may be presumed they were the victims of human sacrifices, but in modern times the Kanaka inhabitants, although Christianized by the Jesuits, have continued to bury their dead in these sacred places. Mr. Routledge's expedition will find a place for excavation in this mystery island, the Cicifico, and the revelation of its secret may solve the whole mystery of the Incas of Peru. CAR CRASHES INTO GARAGE Motorman Fatally Hurt — Grocer's Skull Is Fractured When Coach Falls to Take Curve. Omaha, Neb. — A westbound Farnam street car ran into a garage at 40th and Farnam streets, fatally injuring the driver. When the seriously injured five or six others, Michael Welch, a wholesale grocery man, received a fractured skull from a falling brick. Motorman Triver says the controller failed to work and that he was unable to shut off the current. The car failed to take the curve, crashing instead into the garage. The front end of the building was caved in and several automobiles were smashed. Many of whom had attended the opera and were in evening dress. Two women were removed from the car in a faint, but were revived. FREE SOAP DENIED SCHOLARS Gotham Board of Education with draws Plans When Cost is Estimated at $350,000 a Year. New York—the proposal to supply soap and towels to the children of the New York public school—has evolved indorsement from many local societies a few weeks ago, has been cast aside by the board of education, which decided that, while such cleanliness was desirable, it was too expensive a luxury for adoption at the present time. The cost of supplying the towels and soap was estimated by a special commission at not less than $300,000 a year, it would cost $300,000 a year, it would cost the more laundry expense for cloth towels would exceed $300,000 annually.

A short time ago the members of the Elks lodge of St. Paul, which has for one of its principles "Charity," conceived the idea of giving a public entertainment, the entire NET proceeds of which were to be donated to making happy some of the worthy city by giving the Christmas dinners.

The committee that had charge of the entertainment was competent and entered into the work with a will. The affair was thoroughly advertised in every available medium and manner, and a program was arranged in which the following named public-spirited, charitably-dispensed persons volunteered their services, viz.: Mr. W. T. Francis, St. Paul's leading lawyer. Mrs. Blanche Purdy, professional pianist. Mrs. J. N. Sellers, Minneapolis' great reader. Mrs. Harriet Loomis-Oliver, St. Paul's sweet soprano. Mr. B. S. Smith, Minneapolis' great lawyer. Mr. C. H. Miller, St. Paul's premier comedian. Mrs. Mattie Campbell, St. Paul's chic singer. Mrs. Valdo Turner, a leading literary light of St. Paul. As accompanies there were: Mrs. C. V. Ritchey. Miss Bessie Johnson. Now if this is not an aggregation of talent that should appeal to any one looking for the worth of his money "where will one get it?" The orchestra for the occasion was composed of some of the best musicians of St. Paul. The hall, Hiawata Temple, the largest and best available. The price of admission only 50 cents. The object CHARITY pure and simple. Now why were not the people present? It is a burning shame! The number present, long after the proper hour to begin the exercises, was so small, that the management at the request of the participants on the program WHO WERE THERE announced that the exercises would not be carried out, as they did not muster their talents on the ambient air. It is true there was a sudden change in the weather but this was not enough to cause so poor a show of the spirit of charity. Fully three times as many as were present should have been there; then, instead of there being a deficit of about $25, which the charitably disposed lodge HAS ALREADY MADE GOOD, there would have been money enough to make many worthy persons happy on Christmas morning, including the images of Christmas, including the Storm King is it hoped that whenever any other organization undertakes to do something for sweet charity's sake the Storm King will not give the dear people a chance to hide behind him.

We clip the following from one of our exchanges to warn our delinquent subscribers what a hot time they will have if they fail to pay their newspaper bills. The same fate awaits our slow-paying advertisers: "An editor who died of starvation was being escorted to Heaven by an angel sent for that purpose. "May I just glance in at the other place before we ascend to eternal happiness?" So they went below and skimming around, taking in the sights. It so happened that the angel lost track of the editor and went around Hades hunting. He found him sitting on a morrown and gazing with rupture upon self and gazing with rupture upon a crowd of lost souls in the fire. Over the furnace was a sign bearing the words, "Delinquent, subscribers" "Come," said the angel, "we must be going now." You go on, said the editor, "I'm not going. This is heaven enough for me."
