MYSTERIOUS RUINS IN PERIL
caca Of Which Even the lncas
Knew Nothing.

On the plateau adjoining Lake
Titticaca in Peru, the largest lake in
South America, are found the ruins
of a city as large as Boston. The
stone walls of the principal buildings
are of excellent workmanship and
the gateways are deliberately carved.
Some of the single stones weigh over
$50 tons. There is some evidence
that the inhabitants were the origi-
nal discoveries of corn and potatoes.
At all events, they were skilled ma
sons and had attained an organized
Civilization. The origin of these ru-
ms was as much a mystery 400 years
ago, as is shown by the earliest rec
ords of the Incas, as it is now. At
present the region in which they are
situated is cold and arid and entire
ly incapable of ripening cereals. 1t
is inhabited by few hardy noun
taineers. 1t is evident that the eli
mate is entirely different from what
it was when the plateau was the CEN
ter of large population. This
change must be due to the elevation
of the mountains on the east. and
perhaps of the entire plateau.

SURGICAL SEWING MACHINE.

A New York surgeon has invented
a surgical sewing machine, one of
the kind that will patch up your lac
erations just as a dressmaker or
tailor sews bolts of cloth together.
And while he was claiming this to
be the greatest invention of the age,
another wizard shouted that he had
conquered one-seventh Of the law Of
gravitatiOn, having struck upon
means that would prevent crippled
air craft from tumbling to earth. As
soon as he covers the other siI-sev-
enths Of the situation there Is no tell
ing what he shall be able to do.

HoNoRS TO THEIR COUNTRY
Old Maids Gain Due Recognition in
New Orleans Movement for
Their Aid.

"Honor the old maids, for they
are worth more in push, ability and
character than the mollycoddles they
are replacing right and left every
day." Such was the announcement
made few days ago by an organizer
of the movement to aid spinsters.
Since that time more than 500 let
tiers Of appreciation have reached
him. One of the latest letters, from
Chicago, reads: 81 read the surpris-
ing announcement that a man is
championing the cause of the old
maid | am glad to see that busi-
ness man is taking this stand and tel
ling whoever can and will read that
the woman who is forced to earn her
living, or is doing it through choice,
has the push, ability and character
necessary to insure her an indepen-
dent and happy life, without waiting
for some impossibility to marry her.
The man who wrote that letter is a
gentleman in two places, and we doff
our hat to him in reverence and re-
spect. And, returning to the subject
of women who work for living, why
they're queens of love, light and lib
erty and an honor to their country
