In its entirety this section OF the city must
have presented an imposing appearance, being
literally forest Of columns surrounding and
connecting the various courts. AS to the use
of these great colonnades, tradition and his
tory are equally silent. Some think that they
were the law courts Of the ancient city, where
Justice was administered and punishment
meted out. Others say that they were the
market places where the produce Of the sur
rounding country was bought and sold. This
latter explanation has one strong recommends
ton in its favor in that the descendants of
the builders Of the ancient city of Yucatan,
the present Maya Indians, still hold their mar
kets under the portals surrounding the plazas
in the towns and villages throughout the coun-
try today
South Of the Cenote Grande there are num-
Der of well-preserved structures, most Of them
presenting beautifully sculptured facades. To
these fanciful names have been given, whtdh
probably have little or nothing to do with
the original uses Of the buildings One large
structure for example, has been called 1.-THE
Akabtzib.' The name is Maya and means
1.-THE House Of the Dark Writing This build
ing SO called, because Of the fact that
over one of its interior doorways there is a
Intel inscribed with hierog1yphs This Intel
is so placed that the hieroglyphics can only
be seen by artificial light, hence the name
Inc house OF the Dark writing. Nearby is
a round tower, with but one exception the
only structure Of it's kind in the Maya area
This is called "The Caraco." Caracol is the
Spanish word for snail, and since the interior
circular corridor and spiral stairway of this
structure bear some remote resemblance to the
convolutions Of a snail shell, the name was
applied to the building. The Manjos Spanish
for monastery is perhaps the most beautiful
building at Chichen liza. It is composite.
showing three different periods of construction.
The above only few of the many struc-
tares at Chichen liza. But In all directions for
several miles the brush is streWn with ruins.
Crumbling walls and jungle-ridden courts are
to be encountered on every side; disintegration
so far advanced that these once splendid pal
aces and temples now but little more than
shapeless mounds of fallen masonry. The total
area covered by ruins which may be assigned
to this center Of primitive population has been
estimated by some high as ten square miles.
That larger Maya cities yet remain to be dis
covered seem highly improbable SO thor
oughly has the general exploration Of the area
been done. Consequently we may affirm with
but little hesitation that "The Holy City of the
Itzas" was the largest and most important of
the Maya civilization and probably Of abor.

Los Angeles, Cal-Philosopher
might find nice problem OF ethics In
this emergency: A man is confront
ed with a situation in which he can
with certainty save his own life and
the lives of a hundred others by
abandoning another hundred persons
to deadly peril; or, by risking his own
life and the lives of those whom he
might have left In security, take q
desperate chance OF saving all or
none. H.
Such a crises recently ieaped up on
a sudden before George A. Smith OF
Los Angeles, who has been for nearly
80 years locomotive engineer for
the Southern Pacific railroad. In an
instant he decided to stake every
thing upon one. throw-to rescue all
or none.
Mountain mogul engine No. BOT,
with Smith at the throttle straining
against the leash Of Its brakes, was
grinding and slipping down the steep
side of the Coast range in Soledad
canyon, one of the worst stretches on
the Fresno-Los Angeles division OF
the railroad. Behind 1t was the mo-
mentum of Its own weight and OF

Saved From Disaster.

NAMED out Of danger on terra flrma,
and Smith and his fireman, by run
ming back over the roofs of the cars,
could reach safety in few minutes.
To remain on the bridge meant death.
Because of the steep grade, he could
not back the train out of peril. The
only chance to save the lives Of all
was to dash across the 2O0-foot tres
tie, trusting to luck that the structure
would not crumble down before the
last of the seven coaches had crossed
it.
Smith released the brakes and
threw the throttle wide open. The en-
CINE sprang forward and thrust it's
nose into the aisle of flames. At
every turn OF the wheels the trestle
swayed, groaned and cracked. Cut,
ting a passage through the fire and
smoke, the train raced across. The

his luck, screamet'. covered and
tainted.
In the tender behind the engine
were 5000 gallons Of oil, fuel for the
locomotive. Smith knew that loose
valve, tiny leak or an open feed
pipe into which a jet of fire might be
sucked would mean an explosion that
would wreck the trestle and send the
entire train in fragments to the bot
ton. However, as grim as Jim Bled
soc, he urged his iron horse forward
Now the front trucks of the engine
clattered off the bridge, and now the
engine itself was free. With head ou

train to a standstfll.
Out sprang the passengers, white
