Book learning. strictly speaking-that
is, learning solely from books-leads
one into many hole. In '"The Balkan
Trail Frederick Moore tells the story
Of an Italian official of the Ottoman
bank who had taught himself English
and was enraptured at the chance to
practice it on English people.
1t was with much pride that lie ad-
dressed US at supper. but we did not
recognize the language he spoke and
expressed in French our unfortunate
ignorance Of foreign tongues.
THAT is your own tongue said the
Italian. but even of this statement we
understood not Il word.
He drew pencil from his pocket
and on the back Of a letter wrote:
Il am speaking English"
We were astounded.
"Perhaps do not pronounce ccr-
rectly.' he wrote next. Il have learned
the noble language from books.
The hilarious EIg.ishman in our
party gave the unhappy Italian his
first real lesson at once. He took the
pencil and wrote:
Always pronounce English as 1t is
not spelt. Spell as it IS not pro-
nounced."

FINDS INSCRIPTIONS
1000 YEARS old
Major Burnham Tells of Relics
of the Mayas in Sonora,
Mexico

LOS ANGELES. April 15-Major
Fred R. Burnham, commander of the
Scot forces of the British army during
the Boer war who has been searching
for ancient relics in the state of So
nora, Mexico. in company with Prof
Charles f. Holder of Pasadena, has
discovered an inscription carved in
stone in the Yaqui river valley. pre-
sumably by the noted Mayas people of
Yucatan.
The inscription is probably more
than a thousand years old and is of
great interest to anthropologists. Some
pottery of the Mayas was also found
on the spot and brought to Pasadena
by Professor Holder, who will forward
it to the Smithsonian institution
The Mayas were celebrated people
centuries ago and attained a consid-
cradle degree of civilization. Up to
this time it was not known that they
penetrated beyond Yucatan, but Major
Burnham found that they came north
to the American line or within so
miles of Nogales, Ariz. The stone was
discovered near Esperanza, Mex, in
the giant cactus forest, and weighs
several tons.
Major Burnham made the discovery
several months ago Returning to
Pasadena, he took Professor Holder
with him to relocate it. More exten-
siYe research will be made
