bus until this part Of the island was coded To
the french in 1885, when the Spaniards car
r1ed what they supposed to be his remains

mains have been found here which the people

At Port au Prince, Haiti, there is a cathe-
dral, long under construction and vet unfin-
ished, of mixed French Gothic and Roman
esque style. The French cathedral at st.
Pierre. Martinique, was destroyed by the erup-
ton or Mount Pelee, and the bishops seat was
removed to Fort de France. Owing to the fact
that the government of Cuba rested for nearly
40 years at Santiago, from 151S-1582, it hap
pens that this town boasts a cathedral which
antedates that of Havana, but it is not remark
able as compared with many of the Spanish
colonial edifices. The cathedral at Havana.

temporary sepulcher Of what were called the
bones of the great admiral. His sarcophagus
and the memorable inscription were set into
the wall of the chancel at the left of the high
altar until after the war of 1898, when his de-
scendant, the Duke of Veraguas, removed the
much-disputed bones to the family mausoleum
in Seville.
Cortez landed and burned his ships on the
beach near Veracruz in 1919, determined upon
the conquest of Mexico in the name of Spain
and of the Catholic church. He marked his
subjugation of every town and province by
founding substantial works of engineering and
architecture, wonderful, indeed, when one con.
siders his slight acquaintance with the mate
rails, the labor and the climate that confronted
him and the magnitude and beauty Of the re-
suits. On entering the City of Mexico Cortez
destroyed the teocali, or Aztec temple, and
erected on its site a small chapel for the In
dams, traces of which still remain. In it was
installed the seat Of the first bishop Of Mexico,
who came out In 1923 as a s~uffragan Of the
bishop of Seville, but the cornerstone Of the

which the water IS supplied is fitted
with spring valve.
An angle shaped arm is pivoted in
the bottom of the tank near this pipe,
with the lower end of the arm resting
on the valve and the upper end ter
minating in a wooden ball, which
floats on the surface of the water.
The principle of this appliance will
be grasped at once. When the water
is at certain height in the trough
the ball will float in such a position
that the arm will keep the valve on
the supply pipe closed. AS the water
is depleted by stock drinking the ball
sinks with it and the arm on the
valve rises, admitting fresh water.
This device insures always full sup.
ply of fresh water in the tank and

KNELL OF CHOLERA SCOURGE
Government Experts Of Agricultural

Extraordinary interest was aroused
in Chicago the other day, especially
at the stock yards, by the receipt of
news from Washington that cholera,

hogs, has, in the opinion of experts

cess at the Union Stock yards at
South Omaha, Neb.
The Washington reports state:
1.-THE Stock Yards company pur-
chased thirty pigs weighing from for
ty to sixty pounds each from a farm
which had been free from hog cholera
for several years. These pigs were
brought to the stock yards and four
Of them were inoculated with hog
cholera. These inoculated hogs were
placed in a pen by themselves and
within five days they had become
sick. at which time eighteen Of the
remaining pigs were each given a
dose of the serum, while the other
eight pigs were not treated in any
way. The eighteen serum-treated pigs
and the eight untreated pigs were
then placed in the same pen with the
four pigs which had been made sick
by incubation.
"The four pigs which were first
given hog cholera all died and the
eight untreated pigs all contracted
the disease from them. The eighteen
pigs which were given serum and
which were confined in the same pen
with the four original sick pigs and
with the sick untreated pigs remained
perfectly we'll and were finally turned
over to the officials of the stock yards
company upon the completion Of the
experiment"
The department of agriculture does
not distribute this serum to farmers,
but is endeavoring to bring the value
of this method to the attention of the
stock-raising interests in order that
they may arrange to secure state
funds for the manufacture and dis
tribution of the serum.

Not long ago the captain turned up

him to demand the protection of the

case at the embassy, and in endeav-

What "A Million for tuberculosis

viding some of the 275,00O beds need

consumptives, is explained in a recent
bulletin of the National Association

bed for every ten INDECENT consump-

in the country are counted, both rich
and poor, hardly one for every rs or
80. II sufficient hospital accommoda-
tions are provided only for those
who are too poor to pay the full
price for their treatment fully 275,000
more beds in special institutions for
tuberculosis will be needed at once.
The immense outlay necessary to pro-
vide and maintain SO many beds in
hospitals, makes it imperative, the

and Prevention of tuberculosis de-
clares, that such institutions be erect

BY act of congress, on March 8,

create an agency in Africa for the
purpose of providing an asylum for
such Africans as should be liberated
