OLD AZTEC MINES.
Interesting Archaeological Discovery re
comfy Made 20 New Mexico.

Interesting Archaeological Discovery re-
Gently Made In New Mexico.
A group OF old Spanish or Aztec mines
has recently been discovered at Las
Placitas, of this county, about twenty
miles from this city, says an Albuqucr-
quo New Mcxico) correspondent of tho
ST. Louis Republic. So many years have
elapsed since these mines were worked
that all trace of their history has been
lost and the present Inhabitants of the
country know absolutely nothing about
them.
Prcspectors recently got on tho trail
of what they thought was something
good, and by pushing their investign-
ton came upon unmistakablc evidences
OF what were undoubtedly once rich
workings.
very extensive systcm of under
ground work has now been brought to
light The mineral discovered, while
not Of the highest grade, Is rich enough
TO pay handsomely, and runs generally
from $50 to $50 TO the ton. The remains
have been found In several places of
what were once furnaces for smelling
the ores. There are Also large quanti-
tics of Stag, and In several instances
have been found what wero clearly re-
mains of implements used by the work
men.
But what will still be more interest
ing to the general reader Is that these
explorations have developed unmistalx-
able evidences of the fact that the work
on these mines, which was performed
nobody knows how many centuries
ago, was brought to summary conclu-
sion by ON earthquake or general up
hcaval OF some sort, for not only arc the
mine workings, smeltcrs, furnaces, etc,
buried under some fifteen feet of earth,
but there has also been found on the
same level the ruins of what was once
an aquedrct for bringing water TO the
camp from n source about ten miles dis
tant.
The camp of Las Placitas, referred
to, Is on the eastern slope of the Sandia
mountains about twenty miles from AL
buquerque and promises to become one
OF the most interesting fields Of archaeo-
logical research yet discovered In this
country.

once made an object-glass that magni-

only one ever constructed, and was
made as the result OF a long contro-
versy with other microscopists In re-
gard to the possibility of resolving what
was known as Nobert's nineteenth
band. Nobert was a Frencbman who
by chemical appliances ruled on glass
parailel lines at the rate of about IOO,-

then made was sufficiently powerful TO
count these lines. Mr.. Tolles, as a re-
suit OF statements made during the con.
troversy, started TO make an objective
shat should magnify $500 times. This
he succeeded in doing somewhere about
1874. This objective was one-seventv-

and the lens was taken of hts hands bv

WOLVES IN MAINE.

After Long Absence They Again Ap-
pear In the STATE.
About q year ago considerable excite
ment was occasioned In Maine by the
discovery that wolves had returned to
the state after an absence of fully half
century, probably more. They were
first seen around the lumber camps In
extreme northern Maine, savs n Ban
gor correspondent of the Boston Globe.
They have recently commenced appear
ing very numerously ia Washington
county, the southeastern portion of the
state, near the coast, and not manv
miles from this city. They arc the old
fashioned gray wolves, gaunt and largo,
and the farmers view their encroach-
ment with the greatest alarm, knowing
that their live stock must pay the usual
penalty 20 the newcomers.
Big lake seems to be the Headquarters
for several packs of the wolves. I.um-
bermen there have often seen the ami
mails and plenty of their tracks, while
the Passamequoddy Indians, who hunt
them through that section, corroborate
the stories of the loggers. Joe Nell
and Lewis Francis saw two recently
Peter Newell saw four, while Tcman
Joseph and Wallace Leary sighted three
at the Narrows, just above Princeton.

RUSSIAN suPERsrITIoNs.

How Smallpox Is Propagatcd Among
tho Poor and Ignorant People.
few months ago smallpox broke
out Ia the Poodozhslxiy and Povi-
enctslSiy districts of the government OF
Olonetzk, on the coast of Lake Ladoga.
Since then tho plague has spread
throughout the region, and Is still I'M
abnted. In the villages and towns
where the scourge has appeared ten
per cent. OF oil the children up to the
age Of twelve years have died, mostly
such as had not been vcccinated. A
large percentage of adults has also
died. The medical and the admins
trativc authorities are doing all in their
power 70 resist the evil, but the pref
udices of the common people are
against them. Those prejudiccs arc
very curious. Tho people of Olonetzls
regard smallpox (Ospa) as divinity To
be propitiated and not nngered. They
call II "Ospa Ivanovnn," or "Matooshlxa
(llttlc mother) Ospa"-appcllations
which imply profound respect. Since
vaccination is a means TO oppose IL,
they believe that it would be u sin TO be
vaccinated, md try to avoid the oper-
alton by all possible means. No soon
as person gets stricken with the dis
case all the children Of the village are
dressed as nicely as their parents Gun
afford and taken to his house to paw
their respect to Ospa Ivanovna. They
take cakes and fruit to the house of tho
invelid, which they deposit on table
placed by his bedside for tho purpose.
Then they kiss tho sick person on the
mouth ara sit down around him for
como time talking and partalSing OF the
food they had brought with them, or Of
tho other victuals which the host pro-
vides. Sometimes children are brought
from distance of twenty versts (seven
yersts ere five miles, TO salute Little
Mother Ospa IN this wise. AS long as
there Is smallpox In the house the
rooms must not be cleaned and the in
mates may not wash themselves or
change their garments No rough OK
preston or curse mGy DO pronounced
in house where there Is smallpox
patient. If such an expression escapes
lnvoluntarily from tho lips, the
offender must forthwith kiss the invalid
by way Of propitiating Ospa Ivanovna.
No medicine is given to the patient, but
he must be bathed in hot water twelve
times during his illness. The presents
which the children bring must be left
On the table by his bedside for visitors
TO partake OF. These superstitions arc
deeply rooted among tho peasants of
the entire region, and serve to propa-
gate the disease despite al efforts made
by the more cultivated.

AN AFGHAN Trick.
The Sardar Ras Some Fun with English
MarkSmcn.

Ahe cAruhr fzsA5 Some Fun with EnElfsh
MarkSmcn.
When Maj. Lumsdep was In Afghan
tstan, says the Christian Union, the
sardar or kandabar expressed desire
one day to sec the rife practice of the
English. In the course CT the shooting
he saw some sparrows' heads shot off,
and, while expressing great astonish-
ment at the feat. remarked that IL was
much more difficult to shoot at a hens
egg and smash il than TO knock off any
number OF sparrows' heads. The major
and his friends laughed ut this nice dif-
ference, but the snrdar was determined
that his assertion should at once be put
to the test, and accordingly ordered one
OF his attendants to fetch an eFo md
suspend 1t against the opposite wall OF
the court. This being done, firing was
commenced by the English, and. to
their Gmazement, after some dozen
shots the egg was unframed. The sar-
Oar and his attendants maintained their
gravity, and every moment volunteered
some excuse for the miss, rs each bullet
failed to smash the egg. Presently, by
accident, ball happened TO sever the
thread by which it was suspended and
down fell the egg upon the pavement
below, but to the establishment of Mai.
Lumsden and his friends did not smash.
The trick was now apparent, and they
joined the sardar and his friends IN a
hearty laugh at the deception. The
heir apparent had prepared the egg by
having its contents blown out through
hole at the end. The empty egg she'll,
as light IS feather, was pushed aside
by the wind of the bullet and could not
be struck
