ruins of Yucatan and Guate-
raguan shipcanal studied. The great er
part of the work will be done in South
America along the Magd slena river
and in Ecuador and Peru. The return
home will be by steamer and rail via
San Francisco. The company expects
to be absent 10 or 1s months, but much
longer time may be consumed.
While it is intended to collect
specimens in botany. geology, zoology,
mineralogy, etc, the main object of
the expedition will be the exploration
of the mysterious ruins of the interior
OF the Central American country. The
students from Utah will try to discover
the origin of the colossal architectural
remains of the cities of Palenque,
Uxmal and Militia, which some think
are the work of the Tolsecs, those
strange beings whose name has
become Synonym for ''architect,
who brought to the valley of Mexico
the first elements of civilization and
left behind them, to crumble into
III
gsntic dimensions, temples and cities
of magnificent construction.
The students will also delve into the
mysteries of the Aztecs. who succeeded
the Toltecs and adopted many customs
which Mortified the Spanish later by
their barbarity, although the
Spaniards were by no means gentle
conquerors themselves. The expedi
tion will endeavnr to trace som ething
of the lost history of the two peoples.

who the Toltscs we're, when they
and what induced them to |

complete possession of the land that
they had so marvelously beautifed
with their gems of architecture. 1t is
known that the TOltecs came from the
north and the AZtecs came from the
same quarter, but the mysteries about
them are mum berless and these it will
be attempted to throw light upon by
systematic search among the ruins OF
,he southern part of the continent.
The customs and habits of the people,
of the Indians, and the
products Of the countries will receive

 Positions of Most Interesting Planets
 Occasional Evening Meteors
 The chief attraction of the August evening skies are the planets Jupiter and Saturn, which shine brightyl in the south. The former planet is in the and Saturn, which shine brightly in est star visible The bright red star below it is Antares. The motion of the planet is readily noticed by observing it's positions with regard to this star
 On the first it is 1 degree west of the star, and is approaching it slowly; on the Fist it reaches it's nearest point, and passes the star about half a degree to the south. At the end of the month it is i degree distant from the star to- ward the southeast. The planet reach es ouadra ture on the 18th, when it will be 90 degrees distant from the sun. The best evenings to observe the satellites of Jupiter, when undergoing eclipsas or in transit. are the End and 18th and on the 21st before 10 o'clock. saturn which is of as much interee+ as Jupiter. is low in the south, but otherwise is well placed for examina- ton, rising before sunset and being nearly south when the sky is dark enough to show it. It sets on the 1st at 1:42 a. m. T. is in the constellation Sagittalious, west of the group of stars sometimes called the milk dipper, and is moving very slowly westward. It is near the western edge of the milky way, which is very beautiful in that part of the sky. The planets rings are seen at less angle than a year ago. but are still inclined at verv nearly their greatest angle

KNOWLEDGE OF FOOD
Proper Selection of Great importanc e
 in Summer.


 The feeding of infants in hot weather is a very serious proposition, as ali mothers know. Food must be used that will easily digest, or the undigest- ed parts will be thrown into the intes- tines and cause sickness.
 It Is important to know that a food can be obtained that is always safe; that is GrapeNuts.
 A mother writes My baby took the first premium at a baby show on the Sth inst, and is in every way prize baby. l have fed him on Grape-Nuts since he was five months old I also use your Postum Food Coffee for my self Mrs. L. F. Fishback, Alvin, Tex. Grape-Nuts food is not made solely for 9 baby food by any means but is manufactured for all human beings who have trf1ing, or serious, difficulties in stomach and bowels.
 One especial point of value is that the food is predigested in the process of manufacture, not by any drugs or chemicals whatsoever, but simply by the action of heat, moisture, and time, which permits the diastasa to grow, and change the starch into grape su gar. This presents food to the system ready for immediate assimilat ation.
 Its especial value as a foood, beyond the fact that it is easily digested, is that it supplies the needed elements to quickly rebuild the cells in the brain and nerve centers throughout the body

 each succeeding morning. It reaches l it's greatest brilliancy on the 14th. when it will be even brighter than 1t was in the evening sky in June last.
 In the telescope it is a thin crescent, with the horns turned in the opposite direction from their position in June. The planetiis bright enough to be seen in full daylight this month, crossing the meridian between and 10 o'clock, and about 25 degrees south of the Ze- nth.

On that date it rises at 3:25 a. m., or 1 h. 32 min. before the sun. It may be seen for several mornings before the 18th and until end of the month, and is at it's brightest for the year. It should be looked for between Venus and the sunrise point about 4 o'clock, and is the only star which can be seen at that time in the gathering twilight The moon is near it on the 23rd.
 Mars is also in the moring sky, ris- ing on the 1st at 1:07 a. m. It is nov- ing rapidly in the constellation Taurus, crossing the imaginary boundary be- tween Taurus and Gemni on the Sth and entering the latter area. It passes near Neptune on the Tth, which is moving slowly in the same region.
 The moon reaches first quarter on the 3rd, is full on the 10th and new on the 24th. Until the 18th the moon will be visible in the evening sky. Moon light excursions to be lierally true should be appointed for the first half of the month.

EXPLANATION IN PARLIAMENT.
Reasons for the Early Closing of Sub-
 scription Lists

I Reasons for the Early Closing of Sub-
 scription Lists
 l London. Aug I'm the house of com mons to-day Benjamin Louis Cohen, conservative, asked the chancellor of the reason for the early closing of sub scriptionS for eXchequer bonds The chancellor said the lists were closed as soon as the bonds had been subscribed for. He had received an offer from an Ango-American house to place half the issue in America on the same conditions as those made here. This, he added as- sured the success Of the loan. But there was another reason. Last Thurs day the reserve of the Bank of England stood at the lowest point for years and he was advised that great relief might be offered here by the movement of gold from the United States, if large part of this loan (e10,000,0 ,000) was taken there.
 In substance. the chancellor of the ex- chequer said: When I made the usual confidential inquiries to ascertain whether the proposed terms were likely to be attractive I received such very moderate encouragement that I accept ed an offer already made to me by a leading Anglo American house in Lon- don to place half the issue in the Unit ed States on the terms I had decided to offer 1t here. This part of the issue was already taken when the loan was issued in Great Britain. I regret any disap- pointment caused by the early closing of the lists, but I hope it may to some extent be mitigated by consideration of the very important points I have just 
 It is understood here that the chancel- Tor of the exchequer has allotted e5,000,- 900 of the loan to the United States
