THE PREHISTORIC AzTALAN


In many respects Aztalan is among
the most remarkable prehistoric mon
uments in the northwest 1t is the only
| brick walled town site found in this
country. It is located on the bottom
land of the Crayfish river, about two
miles from Lake Mills, Wisconsin.
The enclosing wall of the town site is
about seven hundred feet on its flank
and fifteen hundred feet long. The riv-
err served to complete the enclosure of
seventeen acres of land. Within and
with out the enclosure there were "a
number of round, truneated and oblong
mounds. Just beyond the enclosing
walls the land rises abruptly over twen-
ty feet UP to the rolling table lands of
the surrounding country.
From the bank above a stone could
be tossed into the town site, within the
enclosure, which would seem to be
good reason why this enclosure, which
has been called fort, could not have
been intended for a defence against any
human enemy. Along the brow OF this,
higher land is row of more than thir-
teen round pyramidal mounds ranging
from three to twelve feet in height.
From the top of these mounds, or
standing on the tabe-land above, an
enemy could cammand the whole town
site. l believe 1t has always been con-
coded that Aztalan was not enclosed
for purposes of defence. 1T has been
supposed that 1t was walled for protec-
ton from wild animals, though the en-
closure has never been high or abrupt
enough since its discovery to keep out
the panther, wildcat, wolf. bear, moose
or buffalo, which We're the only danger
Gus animals OF our woods known to us.
The purpose of its inhabitants in in
dustriously constructing this great en-
closure over a hall a mile long must
still remain a mystery.
The inhabitants were part Of a very
large and numerous community of pre-
historic people, as near at hand are
other similar enclosed town sites with
earth walls, and many hill and effigy
all indicative of host of peo-
pie moving in barbaric ease among the
sylvan wilds and over the mammllary
hills of this charming valley.
The most remarkable part Of Aztalan
is its brick walls and walks. In this it
is singular and alone, the anly example

ments of the mound-builders These

A 81, LOUIS PAINT.

While Chicago is decreasing her death
rate so rapidly that it looks as if there
woaid soon be no death rate there the
death rate in ST. Louisis increasing, and
the people of st. Louis do not hesitate to
say that the increase of their death rate
is due to that pride and joy of Chicago
the drainage canal. And they have coll
lected some rather impressive facts in
support of their assertion. 1t appears
that during the fiscal year ending April
/, 1895, there were in st. Louis 1892 cases
of typhoid fever and 100 Deaths in 1897,
PSI cases, 11s deaths; 1898, AGA cases, 119
deaths; 1899, 400 cases, SO deaths; 1900,
LILA cases and 149 deaths, and from
April /, 1900 to March %, 1901, 1856
cases, 1859 deaths. The drainage canal
was opened in January, 1900. The
health commissioners of ST. Louis be-
lieve that this increase of nearly three
times the average of typhoid cases is
due to the opening of the canal.
OF course Chicago will pooh this
showing and make out that it's drain
age canal is good for st. Louis, but ST.
Louis will call the attention of the
United States Supreme court to the
facts

which we are familiar. They are SIM
ply balls of plastic clay wadded by the
hand into small brickets of irregular
form, about the average size of snow
/ ball. The material used was the gla-
clal yelloWish-red clay of the vicinity,
and the color of the brickets is red or
light yellow. Under the glass scrapings
appear like handful of crystal sand
The walls made of this brick aggre-
gate over mile and a half In length.
From present indications, it appears
I that the mounds or walls We're first
raised with earth or clay, upon the
ridge of which the brick wall was con-
structed, and some earth thrown upon
it, No brick is found in any of the
round mounds, except one, which had
central chamber bricked up and fiat
stone on the floor.
When first discovered, the enclosing
walls We're 2750 feet around, and from
one to five feet high and about twenty
two feet wide. This was over fifty
years ago. The brickets were at that
time much decayed. 1t was said at
that time that Sin many places the
earth forming the walls appear to have
been burnt" Irregular masses of
hard, reddish clay, full Of cavities, bear
distinct Impressions Of straw, or rather
wild hay, with which they had been
mixed before burning. "-Milwaukee

NOT FITTED ron pOLlTiCS.

1t is related that at prayer meeting
in Atchison, Kansas, the other night, a
woman, looking as though her heart
was crushed with grief, arose and made
the following request: Il promised Mr..
j. w. Orr that 1 would vote for him
for mayor, and yesterday when Mr.. w.
F. Il. Donald approached me, l from
ised to vote for him. Oh, brothers and
sisters, what shall do? / can't break
my word. Will you pray for me, and
ask the good Lord to guide me?" With
sob she sat down, and every sister in
the house began weeping in sympathy.
The argument that Woman will not
be a success in politics gets support
from this incident. A man who couldn't
easily promise two candidates that he
would vote for them and then easily
tell both of them after election that he
voted for them wouldn't be much of
politician. Just imagine male politi-
clan confessing in prayer meeting that
he had made such a promise and felt
the need of the guidance of the Lord.

RIDING ON AN ALvANAcHE

iAlbL4NG YIN AIN AlAN fA4NACIlE
! Few mountaineers go far enough in
to the avalanche regions to see much of
them, and fewer still know the thrilling
eXhilaration of riding on them, says
John Muir in the April Atlantic. In all
my wild mountaineering / have en-
joyed only one avalanche ride and the
start was so sudden, and the end came
so soon, thought but little of the dan
ger that goes with this sort of travel,
though one thinks fast as such times.

or four feet of fresh snow to, the noun

an avalanche, and was switched back
down to the foot of the canon as II by
enchantment. The plodding, wallowng
ascent of about mile had taken all
day, the undoing descent perhaps about
a minute. When the snow suddenly
gave way, I instinctively threw myself
on my back and spread my arms to try
to keep from sinking. Fortunately,
though the grade of the canon was
steep, 1t was not interrupted by step

WISE LITTLE BROWN BRO1HER.

Aguinaldo, the wise little brown man,
has taken the oath Of allegiance to the
United States. He has renowned all
allegiance to any and all so-called revo-
lutionary governments in the Philip
pine Islands and has recognized and ac-
cepted the supreme authority of the
United States of America therein. He
has solemn1y sworn that he will bear
true faith and allegiance to the govern
ment of the United States; that he will
at all times conduct himself as faith
full and law-abiding citizen of the said
islands, and will not, either directly or
Indirectly hold correspondence with or
give intelligence to an enemy of the
United States, nor will he abet harbor
or protect such enemy.
The little brown man hasn't been ex-
actly prodigal son, but he has shown
the same good sense that the prodigal
son showed in coming home when he
found things too uncomfortable for him
away from home. The prodigal got fat
ted calf and other good things, and
Aguinaldo will doubtless get what he
needs to make him feel good He has
been troublesome and willy, but he has
repented in season, and can now settle
down and be respectable and respected.
1t will be interesting to watch his fu-
ture career in politics.

GTBRALTAR STILL SAFE.

England is not so busy with the Boer
war that she cannot find time to be
somewhat disturbed by the declaration
of Mr.. Thomas Gibson Bowles, M. P.
who maintains that the new harbor and
dockyard which have been constructed
at Gibraltar at an enormous cost are
within easy range of the Spanish land
batteries. A London newspaper has
obtained the views on this subject of
professional artillerists on the spot.
These experts admit that the cannon
at present in position in Spain could
shell the new harbor, but declare that
British guns absolutely dominate them
and could prevent anything like an eff
fective bonlbardment. In addition to
this the batteries of the rock facing
westwards have been immensely
strengthened and new additions are
made to them constantly. The points
on the opposite shore whence hostile
Spanish guns could fire are we'll known,
batteries. They say, moreover, that it
is an axiom in artillery combat that
the attacker cannot secure any real eff
feet until the enemys fire has been
subdued. 1t Is impossible, they hold,
to subdue the fire of Gibraltar, and
therefore the new harbor will offer suf-
fcient security, as the whole district
from which hostile fire can be directed
can be swept by projectiles from Glib

harbor on the other, or eastern, side of

and the floating DOCK which he advo-
