Tennyson,s Rhymes.

AS an example of faulty rhyming
The great Alfred Tennyson is being
held up by an English critic as In the
very forefront Of offenders. He Is
shown to have taken license as great
poet that would have damned any
small rhymer. The critic gives as ex-
amples of Tennyson's imperfect rhymes
"river" and "ever," "given" and "heav-
en-" which are considered too conven-
tional to be criticised. He then passes
on to the famous "Charge Of the Light
Brigade" where Tennyson, with the
inaccurate ear of the thorough Briton.
rhymes onward" and hundred"
said and "dismayed." hundred" and
"thundered," hundred" and "blunder-
ed" hundred" and wondered" all In
that one short poem. One may look In
vain through the works of Longfellow.
Bryant, Lowell or any American poet
of the first rank for such orthoepical
blundering, which passes without ques-
tion among Britons.

Yucatan,s Water caverns.

Since Yucatan. where the Mayas
built their strange cities. is Of coral
limestone formation, 1t follows that it
would have been a desert but for its
subterranean rivers and the cenotes,
or water caverns. which give access
to them. The Mayas noted the courses
of the underground streams and built
their towns round the cenotes. Many
cenotes are now found surrounded by
ruins and give Indications of the
methods employed by the Mayas to
reach their cool waters. In Uxmal a
cenote about forty feet deep Is inhabit-
ed by peculiar species Of fish At
Bolanchen there is cenote having
five openings in the rocks at the bot
tom of the cavern. Ladders made by
tying three trunks together lead down
total distance of l,400 feet. but the
perpendicular depth from the surface
to the water is not more than 500 feet

seen in the character here in the past,
