Frankforter, dean of the College of
Chemistry of the Minnesota State uni
versity, has announced the details of
discovery made by him by which, he
declares, through the utilization OF
waste wood and sawdust the United
States will produce one hundred times
more pulp wood than was believed
possible.
1T MEANS" he says, that every
cord of FIR lumber will yield $40 profit
on by-products alone, and that the
greater part of the so per cent. of q
tree now wasted will be turned into
dollars and cents"
Professor Frankforter predicts that
huge plants will be built as the result
of his discovery and that the new in
dustry will assume proportions OF

A feature of the temple at San MI
guel is that around its present base
grows a druidlike circle of large
trees. In it's vicinity are many other
mounds. mostly small, and it is there
fore quite possible that here at one
time stood an Aztec city. Clay dig
gers and potters living near by have
found tremendous quantities of small
stone idols, jade beads, earthenware
with Aztec decorations and it'll
knives, such as used by priests in
opening the breasts of the victims of
their creed. According to present
calculations. Aztec civilization In
Mexico is not over 700 years old. but
it would seem that this period will
have to be added to considerably, for
the reason that it must have taken
centuries to bury the structure at
San Miguel Amaztla.

A close is literally the precincts Of
an abbey or a cathedral and this old
district is SO called because 1t partly
is and once wholly was the precincts
of the Priory Church of st. Bartholo-

known as the Close is just network
of rambling little streets and squares
with quaint little courts branching out
here and there; the church itself only
occupies one corner Of the place.

A Florida woman has an orange tree
that helps to uplift the cannibals of
