LOST CITY FOUND.

From the Albany Journal.
 Dr. Hiram Bingham, lecturer on Lat in-American history at Yale, has re- turned from an exploration of Choqque- auirau, believed to be the lost city of the Incas in Peru. It is the first re- corded exploration of the ancient city; 1t is claimed that until he went there 10 one had visited the place for the last 400 years. At any rate, it seems to be an interesting place. To get there re- ouired a weeks hard travel from Cuz- co, the ancient capital of the Incan en- pire. Choqquequiran lies at an eleva- tion of about 13,00O feet. Dr. Bingham believes that the place was fort built by the Incas to protect themselves against attacks by the Amazon Indians. He found traces of Qualifications and many relics. The buildings are made, not of the finely wrought stone of the palaces in Cuzco, but of rough hewn stone. cemented together, and the in teriors in some places are plastered. The old water works remain, and several res ervoirs are in good condition.

KEEPING THE PUBLIC BOOKS
Need of . Uniform System of Munici
 pal Accounting.

Exact facts as to the cost of city gov ernment in America, are just what the people have not had, declares William Allen White in the American Maga- zine. Municipal bookkeeping has been miserably done. The blunders and the crimes of politicians have been hidden in lsdgers and day books.
 But within five years last past feel ing has manifested itself in the co,in- try that uniformity of municipal &C., counts was needed. New York, Bos- ton, Baltimore and Chicago, have adopt ed in part the schedules prepared by the National Municipal league for the keeping of municipal accounts, and the states of Ohio, Massachusetts, Iowa and Wyoming, have passed laws re- quiring cities in these states to adopt a uniform system of municipal ac- counts.
 The adoption. of uniform accounting may not seem heroic. 1t is not cause upon which to appeal to the passions of the populace; and yet in New York city in July, 1908, the commissioners of accounts handed to the mayor of New York their report of their findings. Before frost one borough president had fled under fire, one been removed by the governor, a third had resigned, fourth had been accused of malfeasance in of flee more serious than Is charged against the other four, and one of the five re- mains.
 A research of municipal accounts similar to that in New York is under way in Boston. Already the accountant of the Good Government league has shown where the city is losing $10o,00o a year on coal contracts, where a loan of S3OO,000 for the extension of water mains was unnecessary; that a loan bill of s1,5s4.50O passed by the city council contained items amounting to S536,000 that were not only unnecessary, but were so objectionable that they should be repealed.
 The report showed that S40,o00 year may be saved in one city department without loss of efficiency, and that con tracts .have been let and supplies pur- chased without competitive bidding, at prices ranging from 25 per cent. to 100 per cent. more than the prices of the market. The Massachusetts Bureau of Municipal Accounts-the first of it's kind in the United states--seems to be the forerunner of similar activities in many states, for tha state leagues of cities which are organizing all over the country are demanding it, and their demands will not long go unheeded. No one single movement in America prom ises 80 much as this movement for uni form accounts.

: A CASTLE or SLEEP.
Where Morpheus Is Wooed successfuny
 and with Great Success.

From the Mexican Herald
 pr. Lemeschle of Loches, France, has established there what may Dc called a castle of sleep, an extensive establish ment where no noise is allowed, and where by every method known to sci ence slumber is induced, some. of the means used in bringing on hypnotic sleep being employed. The idea is to cure nervous people by making them sleep many hours day, and the place bids fair to be popular. It is almost as lrxuriously appointed an establishment as the noted Insomnia club of Guadala- jara, where the object is to enable the sleepless members to pass the long nights in agreeable diversions, amid a splendor and a refinement that elevate the taste, and quite beyond the dreams of a sybarite. For those who finally are wooed by Morpheus, there is vast marble hall with many soft divans, where mrmuring fountains lull the senses into unconsciousness. The In somnia club of the Tapatian capital has been often described in foreign jour nals by travellers who have enjoyed its hospitality. It is notable and unique institution.

THE EVOLUTION OF THE HEN

Kansas has been studying the hen problem to no mean purpose of late years, and at least one of the eminent henologists out that way claims to have made some significant and, possibly, very disturbing discoveries.
 It seems that hens descended of hens matched in incubators, rather than in the good old-fashioned way, show mark ed disinclination to aid in the propaga- tiop of their species by sitting on eggs as their grandmothers and great-grand- mothers used to do, preferring the incu- bator method of bringing their young into the world, and, in many instances refusing to stand for anything else. Moreover, it is noted that the hens re- fuse to lay any more eggs than former ly. notwithstanding their increased leis- ure time, and tho figures are thought to indicate & gradual disposition to, shirk certain part of the laying even.
 We do not know that the psychologi- cal or physiological aspect of this should be very surprising. Indeed, 1t seems to us to be about what might have been expected in the light of experience. Hens, in their own way, doubtless are very human, if we may be permitted so to express 1t. Heredity is as definite !y marked in domestic fowls, we sus-

WANTED TO SEE THE WORLD
Helen Boyle's Words Preach Sermon
 to the Average Girl.

From the Baltimore Sun.
 1T had a good home and everything that the average girl has--perhaps more. But I was full of life, full of bubble. was emotional. wanted to be petted, to go, to be admired This is Helen Boyle speaking Helen Boyle, as the judge sentences her to prison; the words of a woman whose life of gayety and sin ends in crime and pun ishment.
 It is the same old story of the girl who is tired of her life in the home, and who breaks out of all restraint and runs away to ."see the world" And when she does she almost inveriably sees the worst of 1t. Mary McLane in her confessional voiced the discon- tent, tho petulance, the wild and impos- sible longings and imaginings of the girl who is tired of her home. Knowing nothing of life or its dangers, the dis contented girl imagines that all the out side world Is full of excitement and ad- venture, and that it is cruel fate that keeps her tied down to narrow

pect, as it is in civilized man. It is hardly sensible for automobile enthusi- asts of today to expect their grandchii- dren, for instance, to be content with riding behind ordinary horses of the yesteryear persuasion. No user of ths modern typewriter wuld hark back to the old quill pen, we take it; and that notwithstanding the fact that the lat ter may still seem the more genteel and refined, moreover.
 The day the incubator was accepted as an established institution and a per manent factor in our scheme of things the glory of the anciently honorable old ''setting hen'' began to wane. 1t not only meant larger hatching of chickens in given space of time, but it meant the relief from much imagi- nary worry and anxiety to the hen. It was the open sesame to period of loaf iIg; 1t put the hen at once into the leisure class, hence she not only natur- ally began to assume artistocratic hab- it's, and the conclusion that she is even contemplating race suicide seriously and complacently is not violent in the least.
 The hen, like every other creature, is largely a thing of environment, and if human beings are unable to overcome their natural tendencies, surely We should not suspect any more of the humble hen.

LAUNCHING HARMON BOOM
Johnson and Marshall Invited, but
 Bryan Quite Ignored.

From the Springfield Republican
 Ohio democrats of the anti-Bryan per suasion are planning a big barbecue to be held somewhere in the state next July for the purpose of launching a Governor Harmon boom for the party s next presidential nomination. The Franklin County Democratic club, of Columbus, is back of the movement, and has been stirred thereto by the action of the Jefferson club of the same place, in banqueting Bryan there week ago. Governors Johnson of Minnesota, and Marshall, of Indiana, will be invited to attend this funeral of their own booms, but Bryan apparently is to be ignored. It is an early recrudescence of what has become the democracy s chronic trouble. Why does the Nebras- kan insist upon staying alive?
Daily Arizona silver belt., 1909-06-02

life, with the same people, morning, noon and night, the same round of daily duties, the same monotony that makes life at times seem so dismal and dull.
 Just few weeks ago Adele Boas, the daughter of wealthy New York manufacturer, left her home without a word of explanation. Her father and mother in distress searched all New York for her. They sought day and night for clew that would point to her fate. The father offered reward of S10,000 for the safe return of his daugh- ter. Coming so soon after the kid naping of Willie Whitla, the parents feared that the little girl had been stolen and had been held for ransom. They feared that an even worse fate had befallen her. And after while she was found in Boston, and her only explanation was that she had "left home because she wanted to see tho world.''
 Little girl, you may think your life is dull and that the rest of the world is enjoying itself in one long round of pleasure. You may think that your par ents ara rather uninteresting people and that by their rules and restrictions they are just keeping you from having a good time. But there is many girl who has wandered away out into the world, who longs and prays for some such sheltered nook where love and peace and quiet happiness dwell.
 Once you go through that door into the outside world, you leave the charmed circle and find yourself in a mazs of dangers of which you never dreamed. It is a magic door that holds safe all these within, but seldom opens again to those who have passed through it and try to return. When girl wan ders out into the wide world she finds a thorn in every rosa, a serpent at the bottom of every sparkling glass.
 Helen Boyle went out to ''see the world.'' She has seen 1t, has seen Its gayety and glittre, its sins and it's sor- rows. Her pretty face is in the rogues' gallery and her name is byword and a reproach. And the years of her life in which the woman of the home blos- soms into fullest flower will Helen Boyle spend in the darkness and despair of prison cell.
