FIND AZTEC TREASURE.
Americans secure Relies of Fabu-
ious Value in underground
Temple in Mexico.

a remarkable story, duly authenti-
Gated, of the discovery of hidden AT &c
treasures of fabulous value has jus /
been reported to the government
authorities at Topic, Mexico, by Rev.
Pablo Martino, the parish priest of
Gesca
The priest makes statement, which
IS concurred in by several reliable wit
lesseS, that a party of Americans,
headed by an archaeologic expert, who
gave the name of Heverick, arrived at
lesca several weeks ago and went
from that place into the mountains
accompanied by three Atexicun guites.
The archaeologist got his bearings
~ means of chart, which he claimed
to have copied from an Aztec stone
tablet in the national museum in the
City of Mexico. He located a vast
cavern in mountain near Yesca.
Immense stone images stood about
this chamber. In one end was hand
some altar, above which burned a
bright fame, supplied by natural gas
from a crevice in the wall 1t has prob
ably been burning for many centuries.
In a chamber adjoining this main
temple was found great store of
ornaments and utensils belonging to
the Aztecs or some other prehistoric
race.
Twelve burros were required to
transport the articles taken from the
cave to San Bias, where they were
shipped to San Francisco, accompanied
by the Americans.
1t is said to bethe largest and most
valuable collection of ancient relics
ever discovered in Mexico.
As such articles cannot be removed
from Mexico without the consent of
the government, an investigation is
in progress.

TO REDUCE SOLDIERS BURDEN
Army Officers wrestling with Prob.

Army officers are wrestling with
the problem of reducing the weight

without adding to the weight of the
present equipment. The experiments
which have been conducted with an
instrument combining the qualities
of bayonet, knife and intrenchino
tool have not resulted in much to the
favor of that device, and the depart
ment has now called upon the COM
handing officer of the engineer school
OF application to submit samples of
tools which, while ordinarily expect
ed to be carried with the companv
equippage, may in emergency be
transported by the individual soldier.
In this connection it is interesting to
know that the aggregate weight car
ried by the infantry soldier in heavy
marching order is rs pounds 1871
ounces.

WOULD AID WEAK hearts.
Prof. Loeb Has Solution hat Seeks
Way Of Injecting IL So II VIII
Act with Certainty.

"If by immersion in certain chem.
ical solutions the heart muscle of a
dead child can be made to resume
rhythmic pulsations, is it not possible
that some method of injection can be
discovered whereby the weakened
heart action in certain acute dis.
eases can be stimulated long enough
TO carry the patient over critical pc;
riods?"
This was the problem that Prof.
Jacques Loeb has outlined to his
class in physiology at the University
of Chicago.
DR.. Loeb had been discussing the
stimulating effect of certain solutions
upon various muscles. In the course
of his lecture he spoke of the expert
ment of Kovalefski. a Russian sci
enlist, who had taken the heart of a
child dead day and half and by
immersing 1t in a solution of sodium
and calcium salts had caused it to
resume a rhythmic contraction. DR..
Loeb himself, in his paper read be-
fore the American Society Of Physi-
ologists last January, described his
own experiments, in which he had
made the hearts of turtles and other
cold blooded animals, and even the
muscles of mammals, beat regularly
by immersion in various salt solu-
tions.
SIN certain acute diseases, for ex-
ample pneumonia" continued DIR.
Loeb, there occur crises in which
the heart action becomes extremely
faint by reason of the cessation of
stimuli from the brain. 1t is in such
crises that death ensues. If, now,
the action of the heart could be tenn
porarily strengthened during that
crisis many deaths could be prevent
ed. We have shown that certain salt
solutions can stimulate muscle ac-
ton. 1t is now the problem for sci
entists to devise a means whereby
these solutions can be so injected
into the heart as TO have the desired
stimulatiye effect. When they do
that we can save many lives"
Similar experiments to that of
kovalefski are being carried on at
the University of Chicago, but defin-
lte results are not yet available. DR..
&. p. Lyons, who has been conduct
ing some of the experiments. is at
present at the great marine labora-
tory in Naples working over, impor-
tant problems of life phenomena.

MADE HOUSEHOLD DRUDGE.
Hard Things said About Han by the
President of BryR Mawr
College.

Man is responsible for the devotion
of women to household drudgery, Miss
Thomas, president of Bryn Mawr col
lege, told the members of the Emma
Willard association at their twelfth
annual banquet at Sherry's. Only two
or three men were present when Miss
Thomas spoke, and a long array of
presidents and deans, sitting at the
presidents table and representing
every other woman's college in the
country listened with smiles of satis-
faction.
at seems to me-" Miss Thomas said,
"that the German women to-day are
the counterpart of our women in the
early part of the last century. They
make fetch of household duties. An
unmarried woman whom knew when
| was in Germany says one of the pro-
fessors spent every morning in the
kitchen of her apartment cooking for
herself, and when ASKED her why she
did it she said il was because it was
womanly.
II saw a man and his wife in Leipsic
buying kitchen utensils together. The
wife was not considered capable of
buying them alone. Women should be
willing to cook and dust if il is neces-
sary, but they should realize that it
is not an intellectual occupation and
endeavor to broaden the mental hori-
zon.
II wonder If we would have much
respect for the men OF our families il
the conditions had been reversed.
Suppose men had been educated in
singing and dancing, and, say, harness
making.
suppose, after having obtained his
education, a man devoted himself to
currying his horses, polishing har-
nesses, and making horseshoes. and
seldom went out except to buy hay and
oats, and then discussed with the
people he met only the mistakes of the
stable boys. Should we care much for
the opinion of men, much as we might
love them?
Don't women spend too much time
with their babies, forgetting that the
time the children need the mother
most is when they go out into the
world, and that then they turn to
-otherswhe- have aa-a-.rtieAler -eSt,rrfi-
ence? 1t seems natural to give the
broader education to men, for they
are the bread-winners, but the women
should have the best, for they must
educate their children, and they have
the narrower lives.
ut is to be hoped that the greater
number of college women will spenI
their lives in their homes, for we wan,
the children of college educate
mothers. Many people think thai
household duties should be taught il!
college, but the time is short. and W.
expect the college women to hate The
ability To become the hest-soriters mn
dishwashers. and we shall have ne,y
generation Of cooks and housekeeu-
ers."

MAY RULE AUSTRIA.
Chances of Young Prince Charles
Francis Ascending the Throne.
Likelihood That There Is Some Truth
In the story That the Heir Pre-
EumPTTye Way AbuIcRfe In
Favor of His Nephew.

A letter received at Dresden from
Vienna gives some interesting gossip
about the Austrian succession. In
spite of official denials, it is not i'm
possible that there is some truth in
the story recently published by the
Neue Budapester Abendblatt of the al
lged intended abdication of the heir
rresumptiye TO the Austrian throne,
the Archduke Francis Ferdinand, in
favor of his nephew, the 15-year-old
Archduke Charles Francis. There is
no question that the young prince has
for a couple of years past attracted a
greatly enhanced interest in Austria
Hungary and that unusual care is now
being bestowed upon his education, in
view of his proximity to the throne.
A few years ago when Francis Ferdi-
nand's health was very Indifferent, his
younger brother, Otto, the father of
Charles Francis, was for a time in
formally put forward as the immedi-
ate successor of Emperor Francis Jo-
seph. Subsequently il was rumored
that Otto had expressed his readiness
to surrender his rights in favor of his
son. an exceptionally handsome boy,
whose bright, intelligent looks AMI
self-contident, good-humored express
sion have already done much to en-
dear him to the Viennese. In matters
directly affecting the interests of the
dynasty, not only the reigning SOW
ereign but other members of the i'm
perial house exercise considerable
influence on such important decisions
as those concerning the succession to
the throne, and it is only man of very
strong will who can resist the urgent
representations of a family council
of the imperial house.
AT present the succession to the
throne is provided for with perfect
clearness. Archduke Francis Ferdi-
nand, nephew of the emperor. stands
next in the order, and as he has for

berg, he would be succeeded by his
brother Otto, unless the latter should
abdicate in favor of his son.

Brooklyn Artist, Selected by VILLA m
Zeigier, to Conduct Expedition
to Far North.

Antony Fiala, the Brooklyn artist
selected by William Zeigler to sue
coed Evelyn Baldwin in charge of his
polar expedition, is already making
preparations for the trip, his atten-
ton being chiefly directed toward
making up a party that will work
well together-picked men who are
willing to risk life and fortune in
the pursuit of glory. Mr.. Fiala ex-
poets to leave here within short
time to oversee the refitting of the

which is now at Tromsoe, Norway.
1t will be overhauled throughout. A
new set of electric dynamos will be
Installed and all possible prepare
lions will be made to equip the vessel
for three years trip.
It is Mr.. Fiala's plan to leave from
soc late in June or early in July, ac-
cording to the weather conditions at
that time. He will spend the winter
at Camp Ziegler, on Alger island, and
make ready for a dash to reach the
pole in the spring OF 1904, using a
cache in the north of Franz Josef
Land as base.

MAN WITHOUT A COUNTRY.
Stea mship Lime Running Refx~eap
New York and Havana Has a Very
Troublesome Passenger.

Travelling back and forth on ships

the steamship companies much trou-
BILE and proving himself to be a man
without country. He started four
months ago by slowing away at Ha-

mig~"tion officials ordered him back.
At Havana, the Cuban officials re-
fused him landing because he was
practically stowaway. He was
again returned to New York and
again is refused permission to land.
The steamship companies are COM
PEELED to obey the order and return
Garcia to Havana or pay a heavy
fine. They have been unable to find
any work aboard ship which their un-
welcome passenger can do. Mean

NEW DISC0VERYBY SCENTS

parent Only to the Ultra Violet
Rays of the Spectrum,

Prof. Robert W. Wood, of the Johns
hopkins university, in a paper before
the members of the National Acad-
envy OF Sciences at Baltimore, an
nounced his discovery of a substance
that is transparent only to the ultra
violet rays of the spectrum. He de-
scribed first Tyndall's experiments
with a screen that cut out all the
visible rays of the spectrum and the
ultraviolet rays and let through only
heat rays.
DIR. Wood had known for some time
that the substance called nitro-so-
dimethyl-aniline would keep out all
the visible and heat rays, except some
red and violet, and that it would also
let through the ultraviolet. He com.
bined the known substance with CO.
bait glass and obtained a screen that
let's through only ultraviolet.
One striking popularity of the nj
Observation-Disclosures, which DR..
Wood dwelt upon, is the fact that it
gives spectrum about 80 times as
broad as that produced by the ordi-
nary quartz. e

Globe Democrat
Frank James, who was in st. Louis
yesterday, says the pardon granted
Cole Younger is far from adequate

"This will deprive Cole Younger o.

AfF James at the Laelede hotel last

Cole is now 60 years old. He has
no trade. He understands no pro.
fession He is not able to cope with
the world in business way. He is
too old to perform hard manual la.
Dor. Now what is he going to do?
Setting him free is just like allow
ing a man to go to heaven without
allowing him to participate in the
enjoyment of being there among the
angels.
Younger is not really free. There
are still strings to him.
81 have an idea that he does not
know how hard it is to get along in
the world yet. He had been shut up
within prison walls for over a quar-.
ter of a century prior to his parole.
He will not find the world to-day like
it WAS years ago
81 feel very sorry for Younger un-
der present conditions. He ought to
insist upon being granted absolutely
free citizenship, or perhaps it would
have been better for him to have re-
