eed stil CAVES OF YUCATAN. Were the Abodes of People of a Prehistoric Race. Selentific Expeditions {Sent Out from Pennsylvania to Secure Relics of a Race Anterior to the Mayas. If there is one thing more than an- other which archaeologists would hail with delight it would be the discovery which would unlock the mysteries of the Maya stone monuments and give to the world the keys to the history of the early races of Central America, as the discovery of the Rosetta stone un- locked the history of ancient Egypt. ‘There has been for many years a dis- pute as to the degree of antiquity which is to be accorded to the remains that are found in Central America. One sa- vant carries them back to a time al- most contemporary with ancient Egypt, while another will not allow that they are much earlier than the days of the Montezumas or the time of the discovery of the continent by Co- lumbus. If the Maya tongue was as open a book as the records of ancient Egypt this question might be settled. Who were the builders of Uxmal? Whence came the ancient race that carved the strange figures and char- acters that are found on the altar slabs at Palenque? No one can tell. After years of research we are but a little closer to the heart of the riddle than we were half a century ago. Recently the inquiry has taken an- other turn and the effort has been made to ascertain something about the prehistoric races that it was sup- posed might have preceded the Maya Indians in the occupation of the Yuca- tan peninsula. There are in the hills of Yucatan many caves, not large in extent, butwhich it was believed would, upon investigation, show in the de- posits «vhich might be found on their tloors some traces of prehistoric man in that region. The earlier races found shelter in caves, built fires there, and in the refuse of the ash heap are found the bones of the animals they consumed and the fragments of the tools, utensils and weapons that they used. Relics of importance might be found in the hill caves of Yucatan, and so an expedi- tion was sent out from the University of Fennsylvania to examine these caves and investigate the “kitchen middens,” or “culture beds,” as science calls the soil of which the floors of these caves is composed. The expedition was in charge of Henry C. Mercer and was known as the Corwith expedition, and Mr. Mercer has written an entertaining and valuable account of their re- searches. Ten caves were examined, and the method followed was that usu- ally employed in such cases, Trenches re dug across the floor with great “care, the earth removed in layers and ,carefully examined for relics and frag- +,'ments of pottery, bones of animals, arrowheads and other weapons. It was hoped that there would be found traces of a race anterior to the Mayas, In this the explorers were doomed to disappointment. They did not find any traces of the prehistoric man; but they found that the people who came to the caves were generally identical with the race that had reared the cities whose ruins have excited so much at- tention and wonder. They brought with them whatever degree of culture they were possessed of and had not developed after their arrival in Yuca- -tan. It was also established that these people had reached the country in geo- logically recent times. It will thus be seen that not all the results of the ex- pedition were of a negative character and that some of them were of impor- tance from a scientific point of view. It was ascertained that in all probabil- ity the ancient Mayas were cannibals. They were an agricultural people and not given to hunting to any great ex- tent. Nearly all the caverns contained wa- ter, and it was that fact which first led these earlier races to resort to them. The party devoted its entire time to vave explorations and did not study the ruined cities, The fact was estab- lished that no prehistoric race preceded the Mayas on the Yucatan peninsular, but no fresh clews were obtained as to how far back into the past that occupa- tion extended.—Brooklyn Eagle. Not for Carriage Wheels. It is not generally understood as it should be, perhaps, that bicycle wheels seldom or never are subjected to lateral strains. They need to resist only those strains which pass through their own plane and in this plane only have they any strength worth speaking of. This is worth remembering when the use of wheels of this type is being consid- ered for three or four wheeled vehi- cles, where the conditions are ess tially different and where, in turn- ing corners rapidly, or in going over ground that causes the vehicle to be inclined sideways, a very considerable lateral strain may be brought upon the wheels—a strain which the ordinary bicycle wheel is, very properly, entire: ly unfitted for. This is to be conside ered also in connection with devices for attaching two bicycles side by side to make a duplex or four-wheeled ma- chine of then. Neither the frame, the bearings nor the wheels of a properly constructed bicycle are adapted to such use without injury.—Chicago News. Menu for a Children’s Party. A very good menu for a child’s party may consist of bouillon, with bread- sticks ard celery, creamed chicken in little paper with tiny homemade biseuits, sandwiches of tongue and white bread rolled with celery, and ice cream, with such light cakes as macaroons and la fingers. Lemon or orange ge shells may be served e of ice cream. Have for favors the bonbons that con- tain pretty tissue paper c¢ nets, and a cake con served and bon- & ring, ning or in its place a little gift for each child.—Philade!phia " mes. EARTHLY PARADISES. Portions of the Earth That Approach Climatio Perfection. | For an inhabitant of the north tem- | perate zone the most nearly correct climate would probably be the island lof Tasmania, which enjoys warmth | without heat and freshness without | cold, and moreover possesses a climate so equable that the average tempera- ture ranges from 44 to 63 degrees, giv- ing a mean of about 52. In addition to this, or possibly in consequence of it, and the purifying effect of the sea breezes, there is practically no disease save what the inhabitants are responsi- ble for. There are many groups of is- lands in the South Pacific which fully deserve the name of earthly paradise, lut they have the fault of being too much like paradise. The valley of Cash- mere in northern India and of Quito in Ecquador possess climates which are almost perfect, but they suffer the disadvantage of a great distance from the sea. Australia is too dry and New Zealand too damp to approach perfec- tion; but Tasmania possesses the happy mean which affords health and comfort. without the danger of degeneration which is the penalty of more luxurious climes. Of places near home, the Isle of Man probably most nearly fulfills the conditions of the question. Al- though so much farther north, its aver- age temperature is almost as high and quite as equable as that of the Isle of Wight, but it possesses the additional advantage of freedom from the fogs, which are the greatest disadvantage of the shores of the English channel. TESTING CHRONOMETERS. The Interesting Process of Adjusting Watches for Temperature. Before a first-class watch is sold it has to go through a variety of tests or “adjustments,” and one of the most important is the adjustment for tem- perature. Chronometers are adjusted for tem- peratures varying from 50 degrees to 90 degrees, as a rule, but some makers —especially in France—cool them down to zero, and often they are heated to 120 degrees. Beyond this point it is dangerous to heat them, as the oil would be liable to injury, and even the tvorks might suffer. Pocket watches are adjusted for tem- peratures varying from 35 degrees to 95 degrees. The process consists in put- ting the watch in a close-fitting case, and placing this in a cold room, or a refrigerator with ice, and leaving it there for some time, altering the works so as to make it keep regular time. Then it is very gradually heated, great care being taken not to let the moisture in the warm air condense upon it. Next it is put in a specially con- structed oven, and heated to 90 or 100 or 120 degrees, the machinery being again adjusted to goregularly. Chron- emeters are usually kept a week in the cold chamber, then a week in the hot, and again a week in the cold chamber. After that they are ready to make voy- ages to any port between the equator and the poles without losing or gaining a minute. CURIOUS CHINESE CUSTOM. Calling to Mind the Blessing of Having Written Characters. In a work entitled “An Australian in China” occurs a description of the queer practice in China of honoring waste paper by committing it to the flames. In the center of the green stands the hollow pillar, in which Chi- nese waste paper is reverently burnt. “When letters were invented,” the Chinese say, “Heaven rejoiced and hell trembled.” “Reverence the charac- ters,” is an injunction of Confucius which no Chinaman neglects to follow. He remembers that “he who uses let- tered paper to kindle the fire has ten demerits, and will have itchy sores;” he remembers that “he who tosses lettered paper into dirty water, or burns it in a filthy place has 20 demer- its, and will frequently have sore eyes or become blind;” whereas, “he who gets about and collects, washes and burns lettered paper has 5,000 merits, adds 12 years to his life, and will be- come honored and healthy, and his chil- drenand grandchildren will be virtuous and filial.” But his reverence has strict limits, and while he reverences a piece of paper upon which a moral precept is written, he often thinks himself ab- solved from reverencing the moral pre- cept itself. Provoked a Speech. A rood story is told of the way in whicu a New England senator was once aroused to make astirring speech. At the outset of his political career he had been known as a remarkably clever “orator of the stump,” and later on, in the lower house of the legislature, he made a brilliant name for himself. But when he became a senator he ceased talking, much to the regret of his friends and admirers. Finally the liquor law came up for discussion, and the wife of a friend of the senator, who was much interested in its passage, was greatly disappointed to see that the briljiant man had no apparent in- tention of joining in the discussion. She sat down and wrote a few words on a sheet of paper, which she inclosed in an envelope and sent by a messenger to the senator. “Do speak! Even Ba- the senator to his feet and elicited one of the best speeches he ever made. A Tottering Spire. it is reported that the spire of Salis- bury cathedral, in the south of Eng- Jand, is tottering. When the cathedral was begun, in 1220, there was no thought of erecting a spire on the cen- tral tower. That was an afterthought, and the architect who designed the tower strained the strength of the orig- inal substructure to the utmost. Ithas always had to be carefully watched, and the means taken to strengthen it by iron bands and ties have only added to the weight. Of late the stonework has been decaying rapidly, so that the | spire is in great danger of collapsing. laam’s ass spoke once!” This brought | Order of Publication.

People who dine late at night ina certain uptown restaurant may have noticed a well-dressed, wild-eyed, hag- gard-faced, dyspeptic man devouring night after night with apparent relish dishes which only the ultra brave have courage to eat more than once a month, That man is an artist, says the New York World, and eating indigestible food is a part of his business, for he is a maker of posters. Since the use of grotesque posters, built on the lines of Aubrey Beardsley’s phantom fan- cies and on the principle of Chimpanzee Johanna’s savage sketches, has become general as a means of advertising news- papers it is no more than right that the world should know how the de- signs are conceived.
