EXPLORING YUCATAN.
Prolific in Interesting Ruins but Poor In
Morals.

Away from the railroads, travel in
Mexico is tedious and uncomfortable in
the extreme, to say nothing of the dam
gers attending it, Pack mules and sad
die mules are mostly used as the
country is too rough and hard on
horses. Persons who are upon pros
pecting and exploring expeditions form
mule-trains and travel in large parties
for protection. Every mile or so in
Yucatan the traveller sees a mound of
loose stones surmounted by rude
wooden cross, and if he has the curios-
ity to ask, his guide will tell him that
the pile marks the death-place of some
traveller, Mexican or foreign, who has
been robbed and murdered by los lad.
ro1ai. Hundreds of miles will be trav-
ersed by an expedition like those now
entering the mountain Businesses of the
Madres, without seeing human habi-
tation, but at various points are some
rare ruins which will well repay in
spection and research.
Before, however, touching on the
subject, will give brief historical
sketch of this ancient and almost I'M
known State. The best authorities

zon and Juan Dias de Soils first dis
covered the east coast of what is now
known as Yucatan. Pinzon had been
a comrade of Columbus on his fourth
and last voyage of discovery. A Cuban
hidalgo, Francisco Hernandez de Cor
dova, with three richly laden vessels
and 112 soldiers, sailed for the PENN
sula in February, 1917, and were in
vited by the Indians to visit their wig
vans. Having consented, they fell
into an ambush and left seventeen of
their number lifeless in the chapperel.
Attempts were made to land at other
points, but the Spaniards were always
repulsed with heavy loss, and in an en-
gagement De Cordova received twelve
arrow wounds, from which he subse-
quently died at the port now known as
Havana. Some months later 0518)
Juan de Griialva, with squadron of
four vessels and a force of 240 men,
left Matanzas and discovered the island
of Cozumel, and later Hernandez Cor
tez and Don Francisco Montejo landed
on the peninsula.
English, French, German, Spanish
and American expeditions have found
interesting ruins and relics throughout
the whole of Mexico, but the peninsula
of Yucatan has proved the most prolific
in this particular. Forty years ago
Messrs. Stephens, Catherwood, and DR..
Cabot fitted out an expedition at Me-
rida, aud to these gentlemen the world
owes much from an archaeological
point of view, and it is to revisit many
of the ruins which they discovered
that Prof Heilprin's party is starting
out.

The Fascination About a Jail.

| think there must be fascination
about life in jail, for men who have
been in there for little while seem to
leave it with regret and do not lose
their interest in what goes on there for
some time after they are released. Time
and again have noticed men who have
been confined for few months come
back every day after their release and
stand at the door looking in. They
have no friends in there, unless they
made friends among the other prison.
ers, and they do not speak or wish to
speak with any one. They lean against
the grated door and look in, as if they
wished they were back. really think
some of them become attached to the
life. and one reason is that unless they
are men of gentle feelings they do not
feel the shame of their position as long
as they are inside, but when they come
out and meet other men they kno =
they have the jail stain on them and
they imagine every one sees it. I have
often watched them standing there by
the door and wonder, d just what feel
ing it was that drew them back.-E1-

HindOo English.

Some of the natives of India speak a
very bizarre English. One man during
an examination was told to write an
essay upon the horse, which he did in
the following brief item: The horse is
a very noble animal but when irritated
he ceases to do So" Another had to
write upon the difference between
riches and poverty, and he ended by
saying: I'm short, the rich man well
tiers on crimson velvet while the poor
man snorts on flint" From Judge
Cunningha a well-known Anglo-In-
dian, came the following story in illus
tration of Indian politeness: "A Judge.

A Christian Bandit.

The bandits of Greece who furnished
Edmond About with the romantic ma
terial for The King of the Mountains, "
thirty years ago, still hold almost I'M
disputed sway in certain parts of the
peninsula. In the Peloponnesus the
family of Lyngos has had virtual mo-
nopoly in robbery for decades. The
original leader, who lost his life in
1870, was one of the most popular men
of his day. His name still. lives in
numerous folk-song which praise him
as a genuine hero, and recount his
deeds in the most extravaganza and flat
tering language. Chief Lyngos pre-
ferred to capture his victims on Sum
days in the neighborhood of the village
churches. Being a good and pious
''Christian," he was thus enabled to
kiss the cross before making his az
rests and thus hallow his actions" His
brothers. who lived in Epirus, remain
ed true to the family traditions. They
were finally captured, however, and to-
gether with forty accomplices behead-
ed. Chief Lyngos himself was killed
finally by his nephew, who gained a
reputation for daring bravery in the
Peloponnesus almost equal to that of
his far-famed uncle. He was captured,
however, few days ago, and now
awaits his fate behind the prison bars
of one of the villages which he had Of
ten pillaged in days gone by.-L0ndon

MARRIAGES IN ENGLAND.
Peculiar Unions of May and December Re-
ported to the Registrar.

OF the many interesting matters that
come under the notice of the Registrar
General there is nothing more sur
prising than the frequency with which
youth and age try the paths of matri-
mony together, says Manchester
paper. OF 3, 1866 brides over so years
of age who were married last year, one
secured youth of 20 three were ac-
commodated by men of p, and four
teen others kept their choice of strip
lings below %. In one of the last
named cases the good lady was 40
years older than her partner.
Turning to the veterans among the
husbands there is even greater dispar-
ity. There were never fewer than 1863
bridegrooms above 20 years of age, and
of these one took a girl of IL, another
one of 10, and four others kept under
q. Between 80 and 20 years of age
2.O84 men married. Three of them
took girls under Is, and twenty-seven
others were content with partners who
had not reached their majority. As
many as 4.576 males whose ages
ranged between 80 and 60 were also
brought to the altar, and here again
a score of the wives were in their
teens. A hundred were not more than
p and 24S were under %.
Among other strange matches was
one between couple of octogenarians,
while three ladies of ''85 and upward"
got husbands whose ages were Is. 65

FAILING From Balloons.

The proportion of balloon accidents
to successful descents has, on the whole,
says the Forum, been probably smaller
than should have been anticipated.
Blanchard, the first to take up balloon
ing as vocation, died in his bed in
1909, after having made sixty-six de-
scents without accident. Many ascents
have been made in the cause of sci
ence, and the names of Green, who
made over l, 400 ascents; of John Wise,
who made the distance from St. Louis
to Jefferson county, New York, 1900
miles, in twenty hours; of Gay-Lussac
and Blot, who in 1904 made a most
valuable series of meteorological and
physical observations at the height of
49,, feet; of Glaisher, who rose to
$1,000 feet with the aeronaut Coxwell,
and especially, recently, of the brothers
Tissandier--all of these are familiar to
everyone.
In 1894 the balloon was used for mil
itary purposes by General Jourdon,
who secured continued observations of
the Austrian movements, and thus
gained the battle of Fleury. The
French are also reported to have used
the same method in the battle of Solferi-
no. A balloon corps was organized by
General Mcclellan at the outbreak of
our own civil war 1861, and the use of
balloons was one of the regular and
daily means of obtaining informa-
ton of the movements of the enemy.
During the siege of Paris the balloon
became the only means of sending dis
patches out of the beleaguered city,
and proved to be very reliable. OF all
the balloons sent out from Paris. over
sixty in number, only three were lost.
and they probably simply because they
were dispatched at night to avoid the
risk from the fire of enemy, which, as
the event proved. was far less dan
gerous than darkness Every gov
eminent probably now has balloon
