A Famous Prehisroric Mound.

tits stated that the famous Monks Mound
OF Illinois is to be removed shortly to make
room for streets, etc. If true, this means
the destruction of the most remarkable pre-
historic relic in the country, if not IN the
world. Some years since the mound was
surveyed and found to be TO feet in width,
1,010 feet in length and 81 in height. A
good idea Of its extraordinary size may be
gained from the estimate of its bulk by the
engineer who surveyed it. There was
found to be something in the neighborhood
of l, 600, 200 cubic yards Of earth contained
in its area, and il built to-day would re-
quire 70 teams and $50 men working con-
stantly for 957 days to complete it, granting
that the material be taken from the imme-
date vicinity. Many wonderful relics have
been found in it from time to time, but as it
has not been explored to any great extent,
there may be many more important discoveries
when 1t Is leveled to the ground. 1t is gener-
ally thought, however, that this mound was
erected to support a large temple; if so there
may be no interior construction of Importance.
By the way. might this not be the traditional
home OF the AZtecs? True, it is not in the
region of the great lakes, as these peoples
legends suggest. but it is near enough for all
practical purposes. and the fact remains that
this mound is constructed on almost the same
lines as some of the most important in Mexico,
any and all of which it surpasses in size, while
there are some 20 smaller mounds surrounding
1t, indicating the presence of quite alargs mum,
Der at one time.

The Troubles OF Princess Alexandra.

Albert Edward Of England is in trouble

proportions is brewing, in which a we'll
known American lady figures, and in case
it gets into court, which it is likely to do,
the Prince of Wales will be compelled to tell
publicly all he knows of the matter, and,
as this is said to be considerable, the heir to
the English throne is not treading EASY

than curiosity rs to the outcome will likely
be expressed for him, but few of those
who learn of this last trouble
can forego sympathy for his unfortunate
wife, who ever since her marriage,
has had the shadows of her lords social
errors hanging over her life. Marrying Tor

bending over his bed to soothe his delirium. he
suddenly clasped his arms about her neck and
