A Hoarv CITY

The ruins o Macchu Pichu, a city
probably built by the Megalithic race,
who preceded the Incas, were discover
ed by Hiram Bingham on his 1911 ex-
petition to Peru. The ruins are on an
almost inaccessible ridge, 2, 900 feet above
the Uru5amba River. They are of
great beauty and magnificence. and in
clude palaces, baths, temples, and
about $50 houses. The huge blocks of
white granite, some of them twelve
feet long, were so carefully cut that
they match perfectly. Though no NOR
tar or cement was used to hold the
stones together, the walls have with
stood the elements for at least 1000
years.-The Argonaut.

A railroad attorney travelling on q

conductor to file a telegram at an APP

AS the train came to a stop. he
sought to leave his car but found the

had run through the train it was TIA

purpose and an important connection
was missed.

petWeen our government and the gNv-
eminent of Spain looking to the con-
cluslon of treaty of commerce and
or friendly alliance between the two
nations A friendly feeling toward the
United States prevails in Spain, and It
IS heartily reciprocated here. Tho
Spanish American war has been for
gotten. 1t was regarded from tho
first by both sides as a needless, not
10 say an inexcusable conflict between
two nations that ought always to have
remained at peace. It is said that
King Alfonso has taken the lead in
the propaganda in his own country for
cordial relations with this republic. 1t
has been pretty generally supposed Oh
this side that he is somewhat short or
the stature of a statesman, but per
haps he has been misjudged. At any
rate it is the part of a statesman -
cultivate good relations with his neigh
bors, and II the young king of Spain
is exerting his influence to this end he
deserves praise. We ought to be on
good terms with Spain. There has in-
deed, been very little unpleasant fe ~
ing between the Spaniards and the
Americans in consequence of the de-
pIorable war into which they wer
drawn some IA years ago. Let US
hope that the memory of that conflict
will fade, that we shall very soon SEQ
all the wounds healed and relations
established which will make for the

more; she sits at our shoulders wait
ing for US to see with individual eyes
her ever fresh contrasts. What could
be more inspiring than the discoV cry
of the lost descendants of the bold Lief
Erickson, who invaded the shores OF
Greenland a thousand years ago?
Those thousand years have led Eu-
to Christianity, through the glories of
the Renaissance to an enlightened civ
ilization daily growing more wonder
full. The same thousand years have
led the descendants of the Iceland
Vikings slowly backward. The daring
that moved the sea-kings of the flow

cockleshells lives no more in the
hearts of the white EskimOs of the
north. Saga and sea song stir them

predict the conquering of the world by
people such as his. So, If this discov-
cry teaches us anything, 1t is a lesson
on our own littleness- Our boosted

turn of the wheel. Lucky for us Ro-
nance remains to gid our ways.-San

impression in labor circles that
the body will take up the propo-
sition of a general western strike,
which has been agitated for some
time, and will definitely decide
whether a walkout in sympathy
with the strikers on the Illinois
