to read Fiske's two fascinating volumes.
Since my last article on this subject, /
have discovered in M of his foot notes
that the noted explorer, Charnay, dur
ing his Investigations of the prehistoric
ruins at Uxma al, Yucatan, in the beauti-
full, richly carved and painted stone
palaces there, found 'four rings or stone
hooks inside the doorways near the top,
from which it is easy to conf ecture that
a wooden board was placed inside
against the opening, and kept in place
by two tra%nsversal bars entering the
stone hooks" See how much like the
stone slab doors of the clif-dwellers
which I described.
Again about the people themselves, it
was first reported they were dwarfs,
probably because the house stories and
doorways are SO low. This is preposter-
GUS. In the first place, dwarfs could
never have built such villages as they
left, nor could they climb to such dread
full places which tall men find it difficult
to reach. Besides, in some places they
have cut small notches in the rocks by
which to ascend. These are too far
apart to be used by dwarfs. All this
might have prevented such a statement
by %wiseacres, but we have better testi-
~mony-that of the bodies themselves.
You know that the climate of that re-
gion is wonderfully dry. Add to this
the perfect security of the cliff houses
from moisture and you will see that nat
ural mummyfying would be the result.
These curious people simply wrapped
their dead with coverings of coz
ton. mating, and lastly reeds, and
walled them into their rooms, where
they dried up and 81 tell us the tale of
their size, Mt least, with their shriveled
lips. The best preserved of these bodies
is that OF q woman, 5 feet II inches
high. A mans is over 6 feet. and all of
them at least SIZE up favorably with ue.
They must have been level headed, sure
footed, strong and as agile as monkeys
to have lived where they did, for not a
signot wings can be discerned upon them.
Darwin says we're descended from apes,
we'll perhaps they'd have been as useful
ancestors as eagles for the cliff.dwellers.
lean tell you little that they were, but
point out some very suggestive facts rs to
what they were not. Evidently, not
idolators. as were the later nations, for
but n image OF any kind has been
found about their remains, and that a
tiny clay animal resembling a pig, which

There is no indication either Of their be.
ing cannibals. Blood will tell, in more
senses than one, and the cliff-dwellers
are free Of that great red stain which
spreads over all the life and doipgs Of
the otherwise almost civilized Aztecs of
whom Cortez wrote so enthusiastically.

PARIS, March 13.-The excitement in
this city to day and tonight has not
been so great since the days of the CON-
mune. Everything appears to the locker
on to be strung up to a tension and it

TOPEKA, March 1.-THE legislature
has decided to adjoura tonight, but a
great amount of clerical business is IN
done and may prevent the adjournment
sine die until Thursday. The total ap-
preparations for the biennial period end
ing June 80, 1893, exclusive of the de.
ficiency appropriations, is $%2,51O,242.
The deficiency appropriations for the
same period amounts to $35O,OOO. The
total appropriations for the periodsend-
ing June 30, 1895, including a deficiency,
is s2,545,OOO. The heavy deficiency this
year is due to the legislative squabbles
for possession of the lower house be-
tween the populists and republicans.

Insurance Companies Cautious.

CHICAGO, March 11.-An astonishing
fact has leaked out to-day and that is
that 10 more insurance can be placed
on any of the buildings at the Worlds
Fair. The insurance companies have
written all the risks they feel justified in
carrying. A million dollars worth of
property will be hazarded without insur-
ance. It is feared that this will have a
serious effect in preventing the bringing
here of many costly exhibits.

One Of the sights of Washington for a
long time has been the plain, old-fash-
toned brick house opposite the old
Ford's theater, where President Lincoln
died. Some years ago a marble tablet
certifying the fact was put in the front
OF the house. 1t is an Questionable
portion Of the town, and the constant
crowd Of curious people, chiefly strang-
ers, who loitered around the house and
asked 10 90 in it, made it undesirable for
tenants. There has been an effort for
some time to get Congress TO BUY 1t and
make it Lincoln museum, But here
tOiOre IL has not been done.
An association was formed last year,
with Chief Justice Fuller as the head,
20 40 least lease the house for year, In
hopes that Congress might by that time
appropriate the modest sum required to
buy it, The house has been leased and
as many Lincoln relics as possible col
lected 10 tt.
The Lincolniana are valuable and in
teresting. Among the relics is the chair
in which the President sat when he was
shot, and which will always carry the
mark Of his blood This was lent by
the Smithsonian Institution. There is
quite a collection Of Mr.. Lincoln's pa
perS, besides g great mass OF books,
newspapers and letters referring to
him. IL is, without doubt, the most
valuable collection OF Lincoln relics in
the world.
