CAPTURED BY AZTEcs


AS Cortez had just passed the city
of Otumba he thought it best to send
scouts several miles in front of the
partv to learn If any treaeherous band
of Aztecs were in the vicinity, so he
sent De Reze and Jaun Moya, who were
his faithful followers.
They went stealthily along until they
came to the top of the hill. Then they
looked around and, seeing nothing.
started back to the party about three
miles below Suddenly a party of
about ten Aztecs grabbed them. bound
them and made off down the opposite
side of the hill After perhaps two
hours fast walking they came to a
number of large caves in the side of
cliff near small stream of water
A number of women and children
gathered around them and jabbered in
a queer tongue at De Reze and Moya.
who were soon taken into a large,
long cave and tied to a root in the
corner. Then the captain or chief of
the tribe told them that they would be
held for ransom and that they must
work in the grain fields and at digging
caves and making Notifications
against the Spaniards If they should
come that way.
So next day De Reze and Jaun Moya
were set to work plowing and plant
ing corn and rice.
All summer they worked until their
masters gave them more freedom and
permitted them to go about the fields
and caves without guards.
They still worked through summer
and fall, helped harvest the maize and
other grains and stored it in large OK
skins sewed up to keep weevil out
They had been there about year
and the chief was going to keep them
as slaves, as no ransom had ever
come in answer to letters sent to
Otumba. 1t was the rainy season and
Moya was sent one day out to herd the
cattle, and he found a path leading
off toward the east, so when he came
back he told De Reze about it.
The next day both Moya and De
Reze were sent to herd the cattle, and
during a heavy rain they each took
small pony and started off. When they
got out of earshot behind the hills they
spurred their horses and after gal

POOR PICKING

The new boarder had never been on a
farm before. She was filed with inter-
est and delight in everything she saw.
On the morning after her arrival she
saw Mrs. Howe apparently picking ber-
ries from some pretty green plant be-
yond the wall as she strolled in the
road
'Those are charming little plants" +"
she said, pausing, with her eyes fixed
on a pail which hung on Mrs. Howe's
arm. What kind of berries grow on
them? Does it take long to fill pail
like that?"
Mrs. Howe looked down into the pali
with a meditative air, and answered
the second question.
"I should hope t would" she replied.

700 REPTILEs HUNGRY

The reptiles of the Bronx park zoo,
after three months of poor appetites,
have come back with such renewed
vigor that there is soon to be an un-
precedented demand on the reptile com
missary department.
The royal Indian python Salome, the
biggest boarder in the reptile house,
has never been more eager for food
than now. Ordinarily Salome has been
able to eat only three meals a month,
a thirty-five pound porker being the
principal fare each time, but now she
can get away with four or five in four
weeks.
The fasting season generally ends in
May. While the pythons are reducing
the number of pigs, rabbits and guinea
pigs on hand at such an alarming rate,
the smaller reptiles, which feed prin-
cipally on frogs are pushing the frog
catchers on the Jersey meadows to
such an extent that the heretofore
fearless Jersey frog colony now takes
to- the tall grass at the sight of
man with a sack.-New York World

ORIGIN OF "YANKEE DOODLE
Tune Is Believed to Have Pertained
to Country Dance In a Ger.
man Province.

Theories concerning the origin OF
the air of Yankee Doodle have been
almost as numerous as those touching
the birthplace OF Homer
One Of the most interesting and, It
is thought. the latest speculation in
this regard comes from Germany. u
is commended that the tune originally
pertained to country dance of the
district OF the former province of Kur-
Hesse. that it was called the
Schwalm,' and that the air was also
played as a military march by bands
OF Hessian troops during the war OF
the Revolution. In studying the
dances of the "Schwalm,' the German
authority was struck by their similar
ity In form and rhythm to Yankee
Doodle" II is assumed that, as many
OF the Hessians who served in Ameri-
ca We're recruited In this district, they
carried Yankee Doodle" with them.
Yet, while this theory may be car
rect as to the melody. it does not con-
vincingly explain It's Introduction into
America; for the air was played here
long before the Hessian troops came.
Mention of 1t appears in newspaper
bearing date OF September, 1868, and
II is additionally supposed to have
been brought to tho attention of the
colonial army In 1855, when Dr.
Schuckburgh, surgeon in the regular
British army, recommended 1t to tbs
colonials as "one of the most celebrao
ed airs Of martial music."-The Sun

QUEER GRAvITATIoN FACTS
In Hardly Any Two Places Will Body
Fall With Same speed-6earlns
on Rifle Shooting.

A man falling from a three-story
building in New Orleans will not fall
as fast as he would if he were in New
York city. In fact, in hardly any two
places will he fall with the same
speed. This is because as we go to-
ward the equator the force OF gravita-
ton gets less, and consequently the ac-
celebration Of a falling body becomes
less, and the force OF impact Is there.
fore less.
While 1t does not make very much
difference in the injury to person
falling from height. it does make a
difference in other things. Take rifle
and fire 1t exactly horizontally, and If
the gun is 16 feet above the ground,
say at New York, the bullet fired from
such a rifle will strike the ground in
exactly one second after 1t leaves the
rifle. II the bullet has horizontal We
locity of a thousand feet a second 1t
Will strike the earth exactly 1000 feet
away. Let us take the same rife to a
place where the force of gravity is not
the same as at New York, but good
We find that II the gun is placed as
before and absolutely horizontal. the
bullet will not fall the 1e feet In one
second, but will take over one and a
half seconds to fall, thus enabling the
bullet to be in the air during that
length OF time. Therefore 1t will strike
the ground 1000 feet away. Thus it Is
seen that the range of a rife is In
creased as It is taken toward the equa-
tor.
i OF course there is no place on earth
where the force Of gravity is two
thirds smaller than at New York, but
there are many places where the diff
ference is considerable enough to az
feet slightly the range of rifes.--Har-
