lister in the p;:lpit is not the only man
ordained of God to do good in tho world,

equally honorable; that the blacksmith

the mechanic at his bench had rs high n

God had ordained us we should perform

AMERICAN OARS.
Popular in All Countries-The
Woods Used,

Every few people except, perhaps,
professional and amateur boatmen, are
| aware that American made oars are
! the finest in the world" said a lead
| ing wholesale dealer in oars in New
York to the Washington Star writer
recently. "At home and abroad, wher-
ever there is water and small boats are
used, our oars are celebrated for their
lightness. strength and durability
and beauty of finish, and as many as
100000 pairs, or about 100000 feet of
oars, are manufactured in this country
every year Nearly two thirds of the
product is sold to boatmen and fisher
men living on the borders of the great
lakes and seacOast towns and cities
of the United States, and the rest Is
exported to England, Germany, Rus
sia, France, Italy and Scotland. In all
of these countries the superior quail
ties of our oars are, among oarsmen,
freely acknowledged, and in many of
the foreign navies they are so highly
esteemed that they are either largely
or exclusively used For instance. $500
pieces, or all the oars used on British
war vessels are purchased in this coun-
try. The next largest foreign buyers
of our oars are the French and italian
governments. each of which has a
standing order with a New York deal
err to supply its navy with $500 pieces
annually.
american oars are made in twenty
or twenty-five factories situated prin-
cipally in the western states east of
the Mississippi river where large for
forests furnish the best timber for their
manufacture. Oars are made almost
wholly by machiney, only small
amount of handwor!s being done in
finishing them, There are three varie-
ties of woods used for making oars.
Those intended for working purposes
are made of ash and oak in lengths
varying from six to twenty-four feet,
while those used by people for pleas
ure are made of spruce in lengths
varying from six to fourteen feet Oars
are sold by the length and are worth,
from 4 cents TO II cents per foot, ac-
cording to the quality and finish of the
article"

RUINS OF UxMAL.
The Old Aztec Priests Were Skilled
in Mechanical Tricks.

From the New Orleans Times. Democrat.
I'm the fall of 1897 l spent several
days examining the ancient ruins of
uxmal, in Yucatan." said a gentleman
who was formerly in the consular SER
vice, land during the visit l made a
curious little discovery which con-
vinced me that the old Aztec priests
were adopts at mechanical trickery.
The woods around the main buildings
at Uxmal are full of scattered ruins
of every description and at one point
L found a singularly perfect column
lying in the midst of what appeared
to be the debris of a small house or
temple.
II conjectured that the column had
probably been the pedestal of some
statue or idol which had stood in the
center of the edifice and cleared away
the underbrush to get better look at
1t. | was about five feet long by one
and one-half feet in diameter and was
covered with characteristic carving.
When I scraped the top clean of caked
dirtI was surprised to find a hole lead
ing into the interior and large enough
for me to thrust my thumb. l cut a
stick, sounded it, and found that the
from the base. There it connected
with another channel running off at an
angle and leading to small opening
hidden in the carving of the base.
while l was probing the interior
a beautifully polished circular stone
plug, shaped almost exactly like jug
minus the handle, slid out of the lower
hole. 1t was made of flint and re-
markably heavy for it's size. What
could have been it's purpose is all
guess work, but the theory that seems
to me most plausible is that it was a
weight and had once been attached to
a cord of thong leading up through
the main boring. If there was figure
of some kind on the column all that
smacks pretty strongly of some secret
mechanical device, and such is the
opinion of the well-posted archaeolo-
gists to whom l have described the
arrangement.
"rhe old Egyptian priests had idols
that shed tears, rolled their eyes and
groaned. and no doubt the Aztecs were
up to the same dodge. AS far as !
know. this perforated pillar was the
only one of the kind ever found in
UXmal."
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1900-10-22

with shrek, the vulture dropped Its
prey. The bird was probably 500 feet
or so above the observers. The aston
ished men were then treated to q spec
tacle seldom seen. Few birds but a
vulture could accomplish such a feat.
The instant the snake escaped from
the birds clutches 1t dropped earth
ward like a. shot. And like shot the
bird dropped after 1t. catching 1t in
midair with grip that caused death.
AT any rate, the snake ceased to wrig-
gle, and the vulture scared away to
a mountain peak to devour It's hard
earned meal. That the snake did not
bite the vulture and cause It's death
can only he explained by the fact that
the thick feathers probably protected
the flesh from the reptiles fangs.
