kzTEcs' HORRIBLE HOLIDAY.
They Celebrated the New Year With
Human Sacrifices.

The bloody and complicated ritual OF
their masterfu war god, the sun, from
the south. and the ceremonies carried
on In his honor occupied q period OF
several days. The initiatory rites be-
gan before daylight Of the first morn
ing. when the chief priest and his sub
dignifaries wendell their way in SOL
emn procession to the top Of their
greatest pyramidal sanctuary. Here
the high priest retired alone TO small
temple. whose doorway opened toward
the east. and as the rising sun crimson,
ed and puTpled the serrated mountains
he snelt and sprinklcd thickly upon
the marble floor the sacred meal.
AS the first rays of the newborn sun
strike sfantingsy across the floor OF the
tiny temple the Bonded priest bebods
xniracse. Family st first then strong
er and stronger grows an imprint In
the meal of the naked foot or their war
god. Upon this miraculous manifesto
ton the high priest announces to the
assembled couriers that their god has
returned to them and that the grand
ifestal occasion is inaugurated
IFnhappily the first feast rites were
of a grewsome and horrible nature.

MISS PEcK'S RECORD CLIMB.
Mountain Climbers Marrow Escape
While Scaling Mount Huascaran.


Miss Annie S. Peck of Providence,
r. l.. the noted mountaI,e Timber. who
recently returned to Ne York from
South America ON the Panama liner
Allianca is going to write a book ON
her experiences in climbing to the sum-
nit of Mount Huascaran, in the Peru
Wan Andes, 24,o0o feet above sea lev
ell. but she consented 70 tell before
hand Of one thrilling incident of her
ascent. She said:
We reached the summit on Sept 2 and
the following night as we were making
our way down Taugwalder. the guide who
was leading, slipped and carried me with
him ever the edge of a assure. The other
guide. Gabriel yum Taugwald, fortunately
for U.S. had seen the Inisstep and had
braced himself with his alpenstock Sc
that when the rope that bound us all to-
fether yanked 1aut he retained sufficient
purchase in the ice not 10 be carried off
his feet by our combined weight. He
called down TO us instructions to dig our
selves footholds that would tighten the
strain both on the rope and himself and
gradually pulled US both back to him.
1t was the closest cali ever had. The
accident was due TO the fact that Taug-
walder had frozen both hands and a foot
him was especially difficult. He had lost
his gloves and has since had TO have one
hand amputatec as a result.
Miss Peck ascribed much of her sue
cess TO the two Swiss guides. '9The al
titude Of 24.000 feet, which marks the
summit of Mount Huascaran," she
said, "snrpasses, / believe, that reach
ed by any one before me. Heretofore
the record has been held by w. w.
Graham, whose ascent of, one Of the
Himafaya peaks is set down as climb
Of 23,S00 feet
In Miss Peck's first attempt TO scale
Mount HuascaraD, made last August,
the party was compelled to camp on
the ice for nine days. On this occasion
the same guide who on the second and
unsuccessful attempt imperiled the
caravan by falling int0a crevasse was
taken III with mountain Sickness"
which Miss Peck says is in every re-
spect similar to eeasickness. and the
ascent had to be abandoned after a
height of 10000 feet had been reached.
Miss Peck. who is nearing fifty years
OF age and whose physique is anything
but amazonian, gives sound lungs and
heart as the greatest desiderata in
mountain climbing

The Romans, among whom agricnl

were an inventive race, especially III
the matter of labor saving machines.
Recognizing the drudgery Of hand
mills, they invented those whose mo-

their victorious armies. There is no
