because as the limestone Is burned, and
the coal or wood used as fuel Is con-

only fills the throat at the bottom.
This kiln may have three or four
threats or openings for drawing out
the lime, but each Is made In the way
shown. The lime w hen IL reaches the
bottom being fully burned, Is drawn
out into the hearth a, through the
opening into the kiln, b. In burning
the stone is broken into convenient
size for handling, and a way Is made to
the top of the kiln. which is most often
built In bank. A small sloping track
IS sometimes made TO the top of the
kiln, and platform around 1t, so that
the small cars of lime and fuel may be
drawn up and dumped into the kiln.

The cathedral was built on ideas
borrowed from both the Moorish and
gothic architecture. IL Is the work OF
an artist who was sentenced TO death
for some crime. but was promised that
the sentence would not be carried out
until he had completed ornamentinR
the front of the cathedral.
For twenty-one years the artist stood
upon the platforms and cut into stone
his beautiful dreams; and for twenty
one years armed sentinels paced the
walks down below, and conveyed him
TO and from his prison.
At last, old, broken down and sick.
he notified the authorities that his
work was done and he was ready TO die.
Then came pardon, banquets and
honor with moclking rapidity, but it
was too late, and his eyes closed before

and slowly and laboriously built up
huge inclined planes ali around tine

No scaffolds or derricks were used in
the construction OF the she'll, but each
stone was pushed and pulled up the
long inclines and to the summit of
each wall and tower by human hands,
toiling under a tropical sun. and
smarting under the lash of cruel task
masters.
AS the towers rose TO height OF
over one hundred and fifty feet the In
clines from each were over half mile

towers reached their full height of
over two hundred feet the church had
disappeared in vast mound OF earth.
For seven more long years the pa
tient workers toiled TO remove the
mountain they had themselves built
up sack by sack. and thus dig out the
marvel they had constructed.
In 1866 the roof of the church was
crowded with Mexicans watching the
progress of the battle between their
forces and the troops of Macmillan;
but hastily climbed down when a can
non ball cracked the big bell in the
northeast tower.
Two years ago mining man offered
TO give the church a new bell for this
cracked one, which he wished TO send
to the Columbian exposition; but ar
examination proved the interesting
fact that the bells had all been cast in
the towers when the church was built
and that now there was no way to get
them out without tearing the towers
