A SPIKED MOUNTAIN.
One Of the Remarkable Geological

One Of the Remarkable Geological
,- Freaks of Mexico.
One Of the most remarkable 5geolog-
ical freaks In Mexico is mountain
situated on the outskirts OF Pachuca
which presents the appearance at a
distance of being covered with spikes.
The sides Of the mountain are closely
studded with stone columns Or pail
sades. These columns are i've to
twelve feet long and as large around
as an average mans body. 1t is a
remarkable. uplift OF nature which has
the appearance, however, of being the
,handiwork Of human beings One side
Of the mountain is almost perpendicu-
lar, and the stone columns protrude
from the surface at right angles, form
ing an impressive picture.
Paehuca is one Of the most noted
mining districts In Mexico. ana It Is
said by biologists that this remarkable
spiked mountain is out Of keeping
with the remainder Of the formation
OF the mineralized region. The stone
Is as hard as flint and has Withstood
the elements for ages. The spikes form
a natural battlement that makes the
mountain appear from a distance like
some ancient fort. The mines OF the
Pachuca district are situated not far
from this wonderful freak OF nature.

COOKS SHOPS.
They Were the Beginnings Of the
Modern Restaurant.


Modern Restaurant.
In primitive times the only places
in London where the public could be
entertained with food had been the
cooks shops. The famous East Cheap
was great thoroughfare, down which
the stalls of the butchers alternated
with those of the cooks. You chose a
joint at the flesh market. and you car
ried it next door to be cooked for
you by a certain hour. If you wished
for wine, you must bring that with
you. for the cooks sold no liquor, al
though they seem to have provided, as
time went on, more and more of the
natural Accomplishments of meat. such
as bread. vegetables and pastry.
This habit continued until we'll into
the reign of Elizabeth, and so long
as such an inconyenient custom pre-
vailed there could have been no real
comfort for any citizen who chose to
dine abroad. He must have had as
much trouble with porterage and bas-
kets as country party has today at
picnic. But about the time that
Shakespeare came up to London a
remarkable change took place In the
customs Of the town. and the practice
Of public hospitality and entertain
ment was singularly facilitated.
The nature of this change lay in the
sudden development Of the tavern and
the consequent withdrawal Of the
cookshop. The worshipful company
Of pastelars. as the cooks were called.
ceased to enjoy the monopoly Of pro-
viding hot meals.-Edmund Gosse in

Tests of Diamonds.

Most persons are obliged, in the
purchase of diamond, to rely i'm
plicitly upon the word of the man who
sells the stone. While many years of
observation and experience are needed
to become an expert with respect
to the value and purity of diamonds,
yet there are certain extremely sim
pie tests capable of being made by the
most inexperienced.
One is by means of needle hole
pricked through a piece of ordinary
cardboard. Looking through the stone
tested at the cardboard, one will see
two holes if the diamond be spurious
only one if the gem be genuine. The
reason for this is that an imitation
diamond will give double refraction,
the real stone but one refraction
1t is claimed that there is no acid
having any perceptible effect upon a
genuine diamond. Hydrof1uoric acid
will, if dropped upon stone made of
glass, corrode it, but upon the bona
fide stone it will have no effect at all.

AVOIDS DANGER FROM GERMS
Theater Doorkeeper Careful to

ling Tickets.

81 use wet sponge at all times
when taking tickets" said a certain
theater doorkeeper of ST. Louis, be
cause of all men in the world the
ticket taker is most exposed to con
tagious disease. When you stop to
figure on the thousands of tickets |
handle every year-perhaps one for
every person in ST Louis-you can
readily see what a great chance there
is of germs coming to me with the
tickets. The idea of using a sponge
after every ticket was brought to my
attention by a very prominent physi-
clan Of st. Louis some time ago. He
stopped on his way into the show one
night and said: Come up to my Of
flee tomorrow, / want to show you
something that you will not regret
Wondering what in the world it
was he had to show me, I called on
him, and he then took a bunch of
tickets from his desk and under the
microscope showed me that | receive

both House and Senate were turned
into Conservatives for the time of the
opening proceedings.
At sharp noon Speaker Cannon
called the House to order and asked
the chaplain Rev. Henry N Couden,
to offer prayer In his prayer which
was in a sense a Thanksgiving offer
ering, the chaplain referred to the
prosperity of the country, the oppor-
tunities of the present and the bright
hopes and promises of the future.
Absentees Are Few
AS soon as the prayer was ended
the clerk of the House called the roll
of membership by states and it was
found that there were only few alb
sentees. The roll call ended the read
ing clerk of the Senate who had ap-
peared in the House was recognized,
and he announced that the Upper
House had passed a resolution to in

ceed to business The House also
was told that the Senate had appoint

capitalists and planters who were in
sympathy with or aided and abetted
the revolution in any way. He then
after having put down the revolution
drew upon each one of these sympa

1t is frequently stated, and with a
good deal of truth, that there is never
more than one political party in Cen
trail America, and that is the party in
power But as a matter OF fact, there
is and always has been been two well
defined political parties. There are
the conservatives on one side and the
liberals on the other. The reason for
it's being stated that there Is only one
political party is the fact that which
ever party is in power maintains its
despotic sway to such an extent that
no opposition does show itself in any
form whatsoever. Sometimes there is
a pretense of having an election, but
such an election is more than farce

the population or section of the coun-
try be beguiled into believing that

sion he gave no evidence of it when
he took the chair as presiding officer
He was greeted with great applause
from the galleries and from the floor
of the House, many of the Democrats
and insurgents joining in the demon
stration, though in either case pos
sibly the hand-clapping was given as
an evidence of regard for the Office
of speaker, rather than as evidence of
any overweaning affection for the
speaker himself
With the committees ready to begin
work, the House will settle down to
it's winters business at once. No bills
will be passed Immediately because
all measures must be considered in
committee, and the meetings Of the
committees will be held daily from
now until the Christmas holidays and
some of the more important House
bodies will sit during the recess.
When congress reassembles in Janu-
ary many of the committees will be
ready to report bills, and the debates
of the winter will begin.
Opening of the Senate.
Vice-President Sherman called the
Senate to order at noon. Rev. Ed
ward Everett Hale, the chaplain of
the Senate, having died during the
summer recess, his place as chaplain,
temporarily. was taken by local
clergyman who offered prayer In the
Senate the roll was called and it was
found that nearly all the senators
were in their seats. The resolutions
were adopted to the effect that com
mittees be appointed to inform the
House and the president that the Sen
ate had assembled and was ready to
begin the business of the session. AS
was the case in the House many bills
were introduced for consideration dur
ing the winter by senators who, like
the representatives, desire to have a
hand in forwarding administration pol
icies.
After a comparatively short session
"in the open," the galleries were
cleared and the Senate went into eX-
ecutive session behind closed doors
for the purpose of considering nomin-
ations for Office sent to the Upper
House by President Taft.

Zelaya's predominating characteris-
tic is his courage. He is absolutely
fearless, and that is one reason why
he is more thoroughly hated than any
one of the other Central American
satraps The other reason is, like that
OF his preceptor, old Barrios of Guate-
mala, his one ambition has been to
unite the five republics under one
government, with himself. of course,
at its head Various have been his
schemes and projects to accomplish
this end At one time fomenting a rev.
olution in Salvador, he has failed in
that direction. At another time he sue
ceeded in placing Davila in the presi-
Dental chair of Honduras with the
understanding that Davila would unite
Honduras to Nicaragua, only to have
Davila tell him to go to the devil after
his seat was safely secured and Costa
Rica has always been a thorn in his
side because he couldn't get up any
revolution there, in which something
might accrue to his benefit or to his
pet scheme For these reasons Zelaya
has come to be known as the mischief
maker Of Central America.
Compared with some of the other
rulers who are or who have been in
the limelight, he is undoubtedly the
boldest and bravest of them all, with
the single exception, perhaps. of Cas-
tro of Venezuela. But he Is a different
type of man from Castro, who was of
low origin and as vicious as he was
low. Zelaya is educated and he is
very much of a gentleman in his man
ner and personal appearance. while
Castro was not only ignorant, but he
was personification of the brute in
human form.
On the other hand, there is the
present ruler of Guatemala, Cabrera,
who is a rare exception to them all,
for he is a despicable coward main
tanned in power by host of satellites,
who cajole him and fatter him, max
ing him believe that he is the greatest
man on earth, while they, as a mat
ter of fact hold the reins of despot-
ism as arbitrary, cruel, and corrupt as
that of Nero, who fiddled while Rome

SIXTY-FIRST CONGRESS MEETS
Speaker Calls the House to Order and Is Ap-
plauded by Friends and Enemies Alike.
VcePresident Sherman Presides Over the Senate-Nu-
merous Bills Designed to Garry Out President Taffs
Policies Are INTRODUCED in Both Houses.

Washington. Dec 6-The Sixty
first congress of the United States
met at noon to-day for the first day
Of its first regular session, with Vice
President Sherman in the chair of the
senate, and Speaker Joseph G. Can
non in the chair in the House While
this congressional gathering is the
first regular session, it is the second
session in reality for congress met in
extraordinary session last spring at
the call of President Taft to consider
the matter of revision of the tariff.
Some interest was lacking in the
proceedings of the first day in the
capitol because at the beginning of
the extraordinary session in March
last the speaker of the House was
elected. Moreover, before the extra
ordinary session was ended, Speaker
Cannon appointed all the committees
which are TO take legislation under
consideration for the next two win
ters, The appointment of the commit
tees ended the campaign on the part
of the members for choice chairman
ships and, If the chairmanships were
not forthcoming, for seats in the more
important subsidiary bodies of the

The members have had time to get
over iealousies and rivalries and so
is that, so far as committee work is con
concerned, the House not only is

legislation, but most of the members
have brought themselves into frame
of mind to do what they are called
upon to do without regard to their
past feelings of disappointment and
perhaps, anger.
AS is always the case on the open
ing day of congress- admission to the
House and Senate galleries was by
card and only those fortunate enough

sufficiently we'll to secure admission

proceedings.
Galleries Are Crowded
The galleries of both House and
Senate We're jammed with people. All
classes of Washington society were
represented in the throng of visitors
The diplomatic gallery in the House
and in the Senate as well, was filled
TO its fullest capacity with ambassa-
doris, ministers, attaches and the la
dies of the different legations. Mem
bers of the families of the president
and of the vice-president of the United
States occupied seats in the executive
galleries; and the cabinet and judici-
ary and army and navy circles were
well represented.
BY a rule which was adopted not
long ago, flowers are barred from the
floor of the House excepting when
they are to be used as tribute to the
memory of some deceased member.
The result Of this rule is that now on
the opening days of congress the
desks of the members are bare of
floral decorations. In the old days
