Messrs. Rogers & Grilley was the most
entertaining Of its kind ever given in

Two other carved slabs were discov-
cred at the same time, One is a con-
ventional representation Of an eagle,
calendar stone and another is symbol
zeal of the god Tial0c. the god Of water,
or, perhaps, more properly, of rain.
Another find was about $50 small
brass bells. These bells are about three
centimetres in length, and about one
centfmetre in diameter at the mouth,
which has a slit. A little ball, or rat
tie unattached, is inside of each of the
bells, or was at the time they were
used.
They served q unique purpose. IN
the dOorways of the chapel the priests
placed drums and strings of these bells.
Except at the hours Of worship, when
the doOrways were open, a large drum
was placed in front Of the door and
the bells were SO arranged that when
any person entered. being obliged to
push the drum aside, they tinkled no
tice of his entrance. In another place
166 more of these bells were found.
The section of tower supposed to
have belonged to the chapel or the
cate, god of the air, which was discOv-
cred some time ago, had been uncov-
cred. What it belonged to cannot be
told, for nothing was found below it.
The tower, which was about three
metres in depth or height. 1t was cyl
indrical in form, and was divided into
sections by partitions of solid mason
~ at intervals Of about so centimetres.
These partitions, in the opinion of
Senior Batres, established the fact that
the structure was q, tower Opinions
We're advanced, owing to the depth at
which the tower. was found. that it
might have been a cisteTn or tomb. The
existence of the masonry partitions
showed that it could not have been used
for either of these purposes.

The connection between anarchy and
bicycles is not at once apparent, but
our COnstantinOple correspondent tells
us today that the thoughtful ministers
of his imperial and at present some
what perturbed majesty, the sultan,
have worked it out to their own salts
faction, and have prohibited racing in
the capital, The changeless east has
taken rather kindly to the wheel. Even
in China the "foreiga devir' who goes
out on q machine is no longer liable
to be stoned to death by an infurated
mob or hauled before the local TaOtai
on charge of offending the gods with
his blasphemOus inventions. At least
one Englishman has ridden right across
the Celestial kingdom without coming
to any harm. and Chinese gentlemen
have been known to convert their vol
luminous skirts into "ratiOnals,' and
themselves bestride the steed of steel.
A demand, it appears from consular
report issued yesterday, is spring1ng
up for French bicycles among the Ho-
vas of Madagascar, and in many parts

WALL OF sERPENTS"
FOUND IN MEXICO

Corr. Boston Herald)
Right in the busiest part of the mod
ern City of Mexico. the busting square
about the big cathedral, workers en-
plOyed by Senior leopold s. Batres, the
director and cOnseTVatOT of the Nation
al Museum, are still almost daily I'M
earthing remarkable archaeological
finds" In addition to those already
described and pictured in the Sunday
Herald, the latest and most valuable
IS a part of the coatepantli, or famous
old Wall of Seupents," which sur
rounded the great Aztec teOcall.
The section Of the wall found is in
the street just back of the cathedral
It was part of the northern wall sur
rounding the old Aztec temple. This
wall completely surrounded the tenn
pie and was Ornamented on the outer
side by huge serpents heads raised in
relief. Ten of the serpents' heads have
thus far been taken out. They are of
stone and of very rude workmanship
The largest are about a metre in
length, half a metre in width and half
metre in thickness. The smallest are
about half this size, The tops of the
heads are fat The mouths are open
showing two large fangs in each. At
the ends of the heads are stone stumps
circular shaped, which were fitted into
the walls.
W. w. Blake in his work on "Toltec
1totdiiiS ana Aztec AuLlQu1ueS, says.
I calculate from the space the wall in
closes there could not have been less
than 208 heads, and it is reasonable to
suppose that there would be fifty two
on each side, to correspond With the
number OF years in the Aztec calen-
dar."
These serpents heads are not the
only evidence of phallic worship which
have been found in the excavations
= . .
One of the most interesting objects
found is a slab resembling the Rock Of
Famine. 1t is probable, however, that
the slab found is not the rock itself,
but merely a replica of it. The slab
IS about meter in height. with a figure
