DISCOVERY IN MEXICO.
A Pyramid With Spiral Roadway from
Base TO Summit.


During the recent visit of Jesse X. Grant
and Charles j. Whimple to Sonora, Mex
leo, on business they were much struck
with the sight of terraced mountain, says
the Tucson Star 1t is located about fifty
miles southwest of Magdalena. The noun
tain is circular in form, about three-quar-
tiers of mile in diameter at the base, aud
is terrsced from base TO peak. The hight
of the terrace is from ten to twelve feet,
and in many places is built of solid ma
sonry. At many other places it is cut out
of the solid rock. The roadway is from
fifteen to twenty feet in width, starting at
the base of the mountain and coiling itself
spiral like to the peak of the mountain,
which is not less than one thousand two
hundred feet higher than the base of the
mountain. The cost of the construction
and cutting out Of the solid rock of this
terraced road must have been enormous,
and the remarkable feature of this won
and there the masonry has yielded to the
crumbling influence of time; these are ex-
ceptions.
At the base Of this terraced mountain is
mighty rock, which has the appearance
of having been hewn out of solid rock
and weighs one hundred tons or more. 1t
is placed at the mouth of what appears to
be the entrance to this terraced mountain.
Here another query is suggested Does
this door to the mountain open the way to
mineral treasure or to the shrine of ancient
religious devotees? Again, does the ter
raced road which coils its way to the peak
of the mountain lead to the shrine OF the
ancient vestal virgin who kept eternal
watch on the sacred fire which was never
suffered to die
One thing is certain there is a wide field
for those near at home who wander far
into Egypt and Persia to study the mystic
ries of the hidden past

Don't allow the broom to stand on the
brush end when not in use; hang it on a
nail by means of ring in the top of the
handle.
Don't forget that broom will last much
longer if, after using, it is dipped in boil
ing water for few minutes.
Don't fill the best windows in the fam
lily living room with plants.
Don't neglect to air the house thor
oughly every morning. Open opposite
doors and windows for five or ten minutes,
even if it is stormy.
Don't undertake extra work to give
pleasure when you know that you have
neither time nor strength for it, and that,
as result, some one will be sure to be
overtired and cross.
Don't forget, if you are tall woman, to
have your workable and ironing-board a
few inches higher than they are usually
made. This little precaution will prevent
many backache.
Don't neglect to have your name plainly
painted on all jugs or bottles that are sent
to the store for vinegar, molasses, ETC.
Then you will be sure to get back your
own.

former article, we discover that light
passes through ice as light, not as heat.
| hold that cruosic force holds the posi-
tion of the cementing power in the ice,
but | can find no proof and less sense in
the theory that caloric force is in the
ice. The light passes through the ice
lens and tocalizes ia the focus of the
lens. At this focus it is converted into
heat. One can light his pipe through
ice. The light in focalization becomes
heat. The same principle operates in
eating bread. No surgeon can find vege-
table corpuscles in my flesh such as made
the bread. No chemical or spectral an
alysis can find vegetable corpuscles in
human flesh. We eat them as such, but
in the body and mind they are destroyed
as such, and are converted or transmitted
into human corpuscles. In all our ex-
perience the farther we get from the
source of heat the colder we find things;
as the distance increases the heat de-
creases. If the sun is hot believe 1t Isl,
that heat is lost in cruosic force short
distance from the sun, and none OF said
heat reaches the earth. | could produce
millions of arguments to prove my posi-
tion, if had the space.
Langley's ''spectro- -bolometer" is a very
fine instrument in making quick and ac-
curate notes of the rapid changes which
often take place. am compelled to argue,
however, that you are wrong when you
carry the idea in your note of reply that
the spectroscope, or spectral analysis, is for
the purpose of analyzing and determining
heat. You will find that the spectroscope
is used to analyze a substance from the
light it emits, not from the heat. Of
course, wnen the rays of light act on a
prism, or set of them, in spectroscope, a
certain amount of heat is generated.
Langley's spectro-bolometer registers this
heat, and also the electric force that is
generated and manifest. The spectro-
scope, therefore, is not on the
other side against my position, as
you would make believe. Secchi says
that the higher atmospheres are 1S,000,-
600 degrees cold" There is no good sense
in saying that anything can penetrate this
chilly place and not be exceedingly chilly.
Flammarion says the space beyond our
atmosphere is cold and black. If all Of
this be true you will find that in due time
the popular fallacy of public opinion will
fall, as have fallen all the theories of the
past. The higher we go the colder it gets.
Rogers says it has been demonstrated that
at one and a half miles high there is only
one-tenth of the light there is on the sur
face of the water, and at four miles the
spectroscope reveals none but the yellow
light, and that without lines These facts
disprove the common belief of the people.
Therefore 1 am happy to inform you that
am not alone or lonely in my conviction.
l repeat it, that our heat is generated on
the surface of the earth. If we differ, we
will do so honestly, for the good OF science.
