walled village has been discovered

miles from Otley, by w. Storey OF
Fewston, member OF the Royal Arch

ed into two parts, says the London
Times. In doll behind a hill are
twenty-four stone circles. varying In
diameter from twenty TO three feet,

dences OF a stone wall One OF the
stone circles was a well, and two 9TH

During recent years the growing
tendency toward surgical interference
TO cure disease has been a subject Of
unfayorable comment both in and out
of the medical profession. It has be-
come the general belief that many
practitioners are too ready to resort to
the knife. For this reason opinions Of
prominent surgeons, as expressed at
the congress recently held in Chicago,
commend themselves as evidence Of
saner professional view. These sur
geons announce that the reaction has
set in, and that the drift is away from
operations and toward greater de-
pendence upon medicine. AS the ideas
acquired at this congress will be Inn
pressed on the profession all over the
country the effect of the discussions
should be generally apparent. Let us
hope that surgeons will bear In mind
the advice of men eminent in their
profession, who protest against oper-
ations that are not absolutely neces-
sary, says the Chicago Daily Journal
While the splendid achievements of
modern surgery inspire admiration 1t
should not be forgotten that its re-
sources are designed to be used only
when less radical treatment proves I'M
availlng.

sion Of the bonds, but, like the widow
at the time Of his death, he did not
consider them worth much, principally
because in those days Mexico was con
tinually torn by revolutions. However
he kept them and passed them on to
his heirs at his death for what they
were worth.
During all of the years they have
been in the possession Of the Janson
family no interest has been demanded
from or paid by Mexico and it is this
accumulation that makes up a large
share Of the fortune.
Just as soon as the necessary legal
formalities here are concluded, Crae
Illus will proceed to Mexico and pre-
sent the securities for payment. Since
there is no flaw in any Of the docu
ments, 1t is expected they will be paid
without demur.
There will be some additional delay
in Craelius starting south because OF
the fact that all of the papers in the
Janson estate were destroyed in the
