fer was refused. Mr.. Ramey had valued
Cahokia at 100000, and the family
holds it at that price still.
Almost all the worlds leading archie
ologists have climbed the steep ter
races of Cahokia They have all agreed
that it is an artificial hill. They have
also been unanimous in declaring it
the largest and most magnificent earth
work in the world. But they have
expressed many different theories as
to the people who built it and the
purpose it served The majority of
those who studied it have believed it
to be a religious structure and that

Ramey, who cared for it forty years.
believed ii to be the tomb of the high
ruler of the anclents, even as Solomon
had his temple and the greatest of the
Pharoahs his Cheops. The careful eX-
ploration of the big structure may
throw no light upon the mystery OF
who built it, but it would doubtless de
termine why it was built, something
the scientific world is eager to know.
DR.. c. A. Peterson, a student of
archaeology. has recently made close
study of the Cahokia mound for the
purpose of reading a paper upon it be-
fore the Missouri Historical society.

cubic feet of earth to the mound. At
this rate, working 300 days year.
Cahokia may be seen to represent the
labor of ono man for 1000 years
though through 300 days of each year
he made sixty trips from the digging
place to the dumping place with his
two cubic feet of earth-rather a hard

Considering the primitive means at
hand, what a colossal undertaking was
this, the building of Cahokia mound!
If builded in a few years, as the great
wall of China. what myriads of work
ers, like a wide belt upon pulleys, must
have streamed to the plain with their
empty skns If, like Cheops and the
Coliseum, it was raised with many de-
lays what multitudes OF carriers must
have been pressed into this service!
If the archeologists succeed in their
desire to have the biz mound opened it
will be the first time it has ever been
explored. Conjectures innumerable
have been made as to it's contents, but
no man has ever delved in to see. This
is because the Ramey family, which
has owned the mound for forty years,
mad guarded it closely, permitting no
explorations within the mound and
making none themselves except in a
single instance. when Thomas T. Ra
mey. whose widow and children are
now the owners, tunneled in some sew
enty feet at the northwest corner and
abandoned the work because of the ex-
pense. Mr.. Ramey died more than a
year age. He had priced the mound
highly and his protection of it had
even extended to planting grass seed
upon the bare spots that the rains
might not wash out ravines. After his

MEASURED PLANET MERCURY.
Dr. See OF Washington Finds Diameter

DIR. See OF Washington Finds Diameter
to BE 1858 Miles.
DR.. See of the United States naval
observatory in Washington has just
concluded a measurement of the
planet Mercury with the large tele-
scope of that institution. It's diameter
is found to be 2,65S miles. DR.. See
calls attention to the fact that he has
never observed any marked spots on
the planets disk. not even when the
sky was absolutely pure and the image
of the planet perfectly defined on the
lens of the telescope. His observa-
tion also is that there is no diminution
of brightness at the edges of the
disk. such as would be produced by
an absorbing atmosphere. Although
these results agree in general with
those obtained at the Lick observa-
tory they disagree with those of
Schiajarelh and Mr.. Perclvel Lowell.
Dr. See has made another interest
ing estimate regarding meteors. Every
observer notes a considerable number
of small meteors while he is engaged
in telescope observations. The field
of view of telescope is a very small
fraction of the surface of the heavens,
and a simple proportion based on the
number OF meteors enables an esti-

We all know that the earth revolves
on its axis once in twenty-four hours.
Millions of years ago the day was
twenty-five hours; millions of years
before that it was twenty-one hours.
As we look back into time we find the

There was time, ages ago, when the
earth was rotating in a day of five or
six hours in length. In the remotest
past the earth revolved in a day of
about FIVE hours. 1t could revolve no
faster than this and remain a single,
unbroken mass.
