purposes and the conquistadores delighted in
mentioning the names Of emperors, princes and
such, which undoubtedly magnhed the impOr-
tance Of their own accomplishments.
lgnacio AltamiranO, who gave the subject
profound study, is Of the impression that the
City of Mexico at the tine Of the arrival Of
Cor;ez consisted Of nothing but rude huts and
population Of about thirty thousand. THE Two
Republics is inclined TO accept Mr. Altamranos
statement Few men in the Republic were in
better position TO get at the facts, and none
have been more conscientious in their investiga-
tions. While il may spoil some very beautiful
fiction, facts compel us TO the belief that the
Aztec people were very far from being the mag
niccnt. semi barbaIouS people that they nave
been represented. Montczuma. who is spoken Of
as the great "empcror' Of the AZtecs. is said
TO have frequently appeared at courts in
dress uniform, and TO have eaten his meals at
very irregular hours out Of a huge pot that al
ways stood on the fire
What the races were that preceded the Aztecs
might be another question, but az for the Aztecs
themselves there is little reliable information to
warrant US in saying that they were much
above the plane Of hundreds of other tribes that
populated Mexico generations ago, or, for that
matter. still form numerically the greater part
of population.
AS to Montezumas treasure, that is some
thing Of myth. one good priest who was con-
ncctcd with the first occupation of Mexico
stated, upon seeing n parcel of gold in an Aztec
establishment which stood on the present site
Of the Monte Picdad. that il appeared to be
more gold than he had thought was to be found
in the whole world. This statement is usually
taken with rocksat by historians. There was
undoubtedly gold here, and considerable gold, in
those poor times During the retreat Of the
noche trste the Spanards lost most Of their i'll
gotten gains and later, when COrtes returned TO
the city this gold was not discovered The as
sumption was Immediately jumped at that II
was hidden. and the assumption may have been
perfectly correct. "MOnteZuma's treasure" has
been handed down To us as collective name for
all the valuables which the Spaniards were I'M
able to locate. There are still some people who
devoutly believe that il exists but there are
others who waste little time in the thought

comfiture in the ranks Of the latter. Such ap-
planes as these, crude as they undoubtedly
were, furnished the germ from which the mod
ern projectile has evolved To trace the devel-
opment Of such missiles up 10 the present day
would be task Of considerable difficulty; il is
only proposed here to give brief account of
the shells and projectiles at present used by the
armies and navies Of the higher civilized
tons.
Four chief varieties are now employed in
active warfare each being constructed to at
tain a special object They may be classified as
follows Cd shrapnel, or man killing shells; (2)
shells whose object is to destroy earthworks
and Notifications; CD armor-piercing projec-
tiles and (D star shells, used to provide light
when a searchlight is not available It is pro-
posed to give brief description OF each of
these in the order given above; and It may be
here stated that each variety IS made TO a
standard size, that all may be fired at the
discretion OF the officer from one and the same
gun.
THE NATURE OF sHRAPNEL.
The shrapnel. whose object is the destruction
Of human life, Is one Of the most deadly weap
ons OF warfare the world has ever known. II

could be undertaken. Meanwhile the needed
alterations to the top Of the arch to enable it
to sustain the weight Of the superintendent
structure had been made and a proper plat
form provided so that the quadriga will bear
the appropriate relation TO the pedestal it sur
mounts.
This important art work owes its inception
to the public spirit displayed 10y Frank Squier
when he filed the office CT Commissioner Of
Parks under Mayor Charles a. Schieren. The
movement to erect a suitable memorial to the
soldiers and sailors Of Brooklyn who gave up
their lives in the Civil War took form under
Mayor Alfred c. Chaplin. After the Aldermen
had nearly foisted upon the city scheme for
conventional column. the Mayor secured COM
petition in designs. and the successful model
was reared in granite at the main entrance Of
Prospect Park.
The original plans called for bronze eagles
above the stonework, but after the success OF
the quadriga at the Worlds Fair grounds in
Chicago the idea was entertained Of placing
something Of this order on the Brooklyn arch
After the care Of the structure trans
ferreG to the Park Department contract
made with Mr.. Macmonnies by Commissioner
Squier to design not only the quadriga, but also
suitable bronze groups to be placed on each
pedestal of the arch. These are now under
way and will harmonic with the quadriga.
The latter includes besides the two wheeled
chariot and four horses three female figures.
one typifying Victory is borne in the chariot
with a staff in front Of her UNFOLDING a wreath.
The other figures flank the outer horses, and
each is blowing the trumpet Of fame. The
whole presents an inspiring and uplifting idea

Titles in Norway.

To fully understand the democratic
spirit and simplicity of the Norwegian,
it may be of interest to know that the
Storthing some years ago abolished as
incompatible with true democracy such
superf1uous ornaments as His or Her
Majesty or His or Her Royal High
ness, etc, in officially addressing or
referring to members of the royal fam
ily The Storthing, when rendering an
address or bin, or any other commu-
nication to the King, heads it simply:
It'll kongen" C'To the King). AS a
matter of course. in speaking to the
King or to any other member of the
royal family, Your Majesty" or Your
Royal Highness" is used. The press,
with the exception of few ultra con
servative papers, has followed the ex-
ample set by the Storthfng. Such hon
orary titles for certain public officials
as His Excellency,' or "the Honora-
BILE" have also fallen out of use, but
many of the public officers retain their
official title after they step out of Of
flee, as, for example, one who has once
been a member of the Cabinet always
afterward retains the title ''statsraad'
(State councillor). | may also add that
Norway has no recognized titled nobil-
