This the Mexican government re-
fused, feeling it had done all possible.
IN view of the friendly understanding
between the two governments, ana
believing the acceptance of such an
imposition would be equivalent to
yielding by Mexico to humiliation.
The Mexican government is confident
that the civilized world will find its

that it has observed all the require

the refusal to yield further is inspired
only by regard for its honor and

GO THROUGH HARDEST ROCK
No Substance on Earth Can Resist the
Action Of Prepared steel
Wlres.

Stone is still sawn by hand, even
Ia great cities where the latest appli-
ances of the mechanical art are 70 be
found. Yet the mechanical saving ~of
rock is at least sixteen centuries old,
and In recent years has reached a
stage of perfection.
The idea of using a metal cord and
a mixture OF sand and water for saw
ing stone was patented by Eugene.
Chevallier in France in 1854. His ap-
paratus' with scarcely any change,
was used last year in cutting trench
through the Pont Neuf in Paris.
The principle upon which the me-
chanical stone-saw works is described
by Victor Raynourd in La Science ct
la Vie as follows:
An endless rope composed OF three
steel wires twisted together is set in
movement and draws with II a grind
Ing granular substance, pressing this
hard upon the stone that is to be
sawn. The mordant substance is grit
mixed with water. The stream of wa
ter renders the movement easy and
prevents the heating Of the cable. The
ends of the cable are Joined by splic-
ing.
The hardest rocks, such as porphyry,
are now sawn more easily than the
softer, such as marble, but not so rap
idly. Marble is sawn at the rate Of
nearly nine inches an hour granite at
from six to seven inches an hour.

OF Course He Did.

A Scottish laddie, delivering milk.
was stopped the other day on his
round by two police officers. who
asked him if his employers put any
thing in the milk.
"Oh, aye!" was the innocent answer.
The officers, thinking they had a
clear case of adulteration, offered the
boy sixpence if he would tell them
what was put in it.
"Ah," said the boy, with a grin. "ye
wadna gies the saxpence though
tellt ye?"
"Oh, yes, we WILL" said the officers.
"Gies it, them" said the little fell
low.
The sixpence was duly handed over,
with the question:
Now, what does your employer put
in the milk?"

smile, 'he puts the measure in every
time he tak's any oot!"

Electricity suppIants Towels,

Drying the hands by means of a cur.
rent of warm air is a modern sanitary
device recently installed in a Wash.
ington office building. The electric
hand drier is an upright cabinet about
three feet high. An opening at the
top, over which the hands may be
held, gives egress to current of air
blown from within, and controlled by
a lever operated by the foot. When
the lever is depressed, the electric
current is switched on the blower, and
the air is forced through a heating
coil, which brings it to a proper tenn
perature, says Popular Mechanics.
Thirty seconds is all the time required
for the drying process, and the cost
per hundred pairs Of hands is just one
halfpenny.

THREE THOUSAND YEARS OLD
Excavations Have Revealed Ancient
Structure on Site Of Prehis-
torle Tlryns.

Excavations recently carried out by
the German Archaeological institute
on the site of prehistoric Tiryns have
revealed the existence OF a still more
ancient palace lying beneath the re-
mains of the palace laid bare by Schlie-.
mann and Dropfeld some thirty years
ago.
The whole elevation on which the
fortress-palace stands was thickly in
habited at least as far back as 1000
B. C. Among the early inhabitants
now discovered is a large circular
building about fourteen meters in d.
ameter, which may be recognized as
the most ancient palace of the dynasty
of Tiryns. This structure, which was
built before 1900 B. c., differs COM
pletely in design from the later build
ing. The places OF sepulcher of the
local princes were long sought in vain,
but bee hive tomb in excellent pres
ervation has been discovered and ex-
cavated. More than two thousand
years ago 1t was robbed of its treas
ures, and in the time of the Roman
emperors it was converted into an oil
mill.
Other tombs have been found which
it is hoped may prove intact. They
will be excavatSd.

CHINA'S MOST ANCIENT CITY
Slanfu Believed to Have Been
Metropolis Two Thousand Years
Before Rome.

Sianfu is probably the most vener-
able city in China, and perhaps has
had a longer continuous existence
than Athens and Luxor. The Chinese
themselves believe with some warranty
that 1t was flourishing 1000 years be-
fore Rome was founded. On the one
hand, its story touches the first ap-
pearance of the Chinese race; on the
other, 1t was again brought into a fore
front Of Chinese history when the
late Empress Dowager Tzuhsi sought
within its wall a refuge from the
troops of the allies. 1t has been the
stronghold of many monarchs, the bull
wark against many revolts and inva-
sions and the shelter of many reli.
gions.
Sianfu became a great city because
it stood in the province of Shensi and,
therefore, on the borders of the illim-
table deserts and rolling uplands
whence came successive hordes OF
barba rians to threaten the peace of
the Flowery Land. 1t has never lost
its protective character, and 40 years
ago the great Mohammedan rebellion
vainly spent its strength against it.
Nor has it's strength entirely van
ished It's mighty walls, though use
less against modern artillery, are far
more Sormidable, and now in better re-
pair, than those of Peking. Its popu-
lation is variously estimated, but is
numbered by the hundred thousand.

Flowers blooming on icebergs would
certainly be rare sight, but traEelers
in the northern portions of the Pa
cific and sometimes in the North At
lantic have witnessed this strange but
very beautiful spectacle. 1t appears
that some animals carry on their feet
a growth Of moss, which is deposited
on the ice while it is attached to the
mainland in polar regions. In time this
decays and forms a shallow soil, in
which the seeds of buttercups and
dandelions often find lodging, borne
by currents of wind that doubtless
caught them up in some southern
cline. These take root and bloom
when the great cleaning iceberg floats
out to sea and is carried southwark,
where the soft winds melt the surface
and give the plants the moisture they
need.

Islands.

Islands are used, like periods on
pages, to dot the ocean with. They are
frequently made by volcanoes, who get
tired of lolling about in the center Of
the earth and poke their noses above
water to see what it is all about.
Islands are covered with rocks,
shrubs, natives and tourists. They are
used as coal bins for nations and
parading places for regiments.
Every island has a governor, who
spends his time playing poker and ex-
changing views with distinguished au-
thors like ourselves, as we pass in our
steam-heated yachts.
Every island like some railroads we
know, and practically all trolley car
companies, is completely surrounded
by water Upon its crest 1t proudly
wears a hotel, which "overlooks" the
sea. Any hotel on an island which
does not do this is not worth being
robbed in.-Life.

Proud. imperial RNce.

The Peruvians are a proud, imperial
race, living amid the grandest scenery
of the western hemisphere, and hold
ing high ideals of what is best in edu-
cation and the unbought grace of life.
On the great country estates there is
much Of the fine tradition and chival-
rous sentiment that came from the
best people of CASTLE and Aragon.
The Indians of the high plateaux are
a unique reminder of a civilization
that bourgeoned centuries before the
face of the white man had blossomed
like a flower in the western forests.
The immemorial records of a civiliza-
ton that vanished in the midst of
mans earliest recollections are family
suggested in splendid ruins of the
brilliant scenes. The name and fame
of the brilliant men who built the
walls and temples of Cuzco are lost,
and all we know of the wonder and

VARIOUS STAGES OF SMOKING

with ashes,
Still later in life the grown, mature
man is likely TO knock the ash on his
cigar at frequent intervals, TO keep II
down short. He smokes In business
like way, he doesn't want the ashes
scattered over him. But as he grows
older yet, when he comes to be an
oldish man, he may come again as
he smokes to keep the ash on a cigar

You may see an old man smoking a
cigar thus, holding 1t carefully and
smoking slowly and contemplatively,
looking at the ash occasionally and
clearly interested in seeing 1t grow,
Just as he did when he was young.
Why he does this now is uncertain,
but perhaps It is because 1t brings
back memories of his youth.
