AcOUEOUcTS OF MEXICO.
That at Queretaro the Highest IN the
Republic.


One OF the most interesting architec
tural features of Mexico. and there art
many, is the old aqueducts. There is {;
wonderful aoueduct at Queretaro, which
stretches for five miles across thu
plain, and carries water from ths
mountains to supply the town. Somt
of these immense arches are over sc
feet high, and there are about so OF thu
very high ones, making a piece of ma
sonry that is vastly impressive. It car
be seen from both mountain and plain
for many miles, and being still in use is
in excellent repair. There is statue
In tho plaza of Queretaro of the man
whose generosity provided this luxury
for his nssive place. The Mexican Cen
trail railway passes through one Of these
arches, on diagonal line, with plenty
OF room to spare. twill be noticed In
the picture that there is connecting
line of masonry Oh the ground, be
tween the supporting pillars. In this
stone bed there is also q waterway

TINY LITTLE BRAINS.
They Are Scattered Throughout the
Human Body.


DR.. William A. Hammond, TIE cele.
hrated neurologist- says the gangiia,
which runs like little threads of silk
Throughout the body, are tiny little
brains, largely made up OF the same
kind OF gray matter that composes the
thinking part Of the BRAIN While the
sensitive ganglia send their little tend.

there Il al especially large amount of
them about the heart, and, really,
according TO DIR. Hammond, the human
heart actually thinks on account of
It. When we are frightened, the heart
almost stops beating.
How could il do it, unless it really
thought? 1t would be impossible.
The heart brains are the little gray
esnglia, and they recognize the emo
tons OF JOY. OF pain or fright by sending
quick throbs and thrills through the
heart, which DR.. Hammond calls a Sec
ondary brain. 1t is well known that the
ancients believed different organs of
the body to be possessed of mental at

netio nature" and the like.
Crossgrained people are said 70 have

a heavy blow there will kill as quickly
as if the brain itself had been struck
! Wherever the ganglia oongregate Il
a vital spot, and instead Of thinking
solely with the gray matter that is with
N cur skulls, we think In every i'm

THE South African diamond mines

fame of this discovery grew. and soon
the diamond fever led many into the

FOOTBALL AND SCHOLARSHIP.


The Old Roman Idea II to Be Carried
Out.
We are quite ready to believe that
university and college authorities are
looking more sharply after the scholar.
ship of their athletes. There is certainly
no incompatibility between excellence
in athletics and excellence in the clsss
room The history of college teams and
crews proves this to be true. There
are men who have just come from the
football field who stand high IN theD
classes and who have lost nothing in
scholarship rank by reason of the games
and matches that they have played,
There is at least one of these men who
stands easily at the head of his class
Faculties realize that they must seq
to it that there shall be no iossof schok
arship and no dscredit TO scholarship
oy reason Of intercollegiate athletics.
; Only the other day the Ohio university
authorities compelled the captain Of the
football team to resign his captaincy
because he had fallen behind In his
studies. NO doubt in recent times there
has been o disposition on the part OF pro-
fessors, most of whom are human and
proud of their institutions, to over
look ignorance and stupidity WREN man
Tested by q strongarned oarsman,

leges, at the bottom scholarship is really
their ideal and they will make 1t the
ideal of the institutions in which they
teach. The time will come, we
have no doubt. when the athlete will
