B0LIVlA'S SACRED LAKE.
Over a Billion In Treasure Said to Be
Sunk In Its Muddy Bed.

over bllllon IN FeaSure Sald TO BE
Sunk In Its Muddy Bed.
Legend has it chat for more than 500
years the lake Of Guatiyita, at an ele-
vation of 10000 feet in Bolivia, has
not only been held sacred to the gods
Of the Indian tribes, but into It's wa
ters the natives. with solemn ceremo-
ny, used to cast their gold and silver
ornaments, gems and other valuables
as an Offering to propitiate the evil
spirits. 1t has been estimated that in
this manner treasure to the amount of
81 500,000,000 found It's way to the bot
tom of the lake.
Many attempts were made to recov-
er the treasure. The first was by the
Spaniards 250 years ago. They tried
to drain off the waters of the lake, but
their engineering skill was not equal
to the task When they had drawn
off all but ten feet of the water they
were compelled to give up their pro-
ject and take to dredging instead.
They did succeed In recovering a small
part of the. treasure in this way.
The most modern attempt was made
twenty years ago by a company of
Colombians and Englishmen. By dig
ging tunnel LOO feet long down
the side of the mountain they succeed
ed In draining the lake, but then they
found to their dismay, instead of a
clear bottom twenty-five feet of mud
covering the treasure. In all this com
pany spent $4,000 and recovered but
$4,000 worth of gold and jewels be
fore they, too, abandoned the search.

THE LABOR MOVEMENT.

Down the ages file the crowds
of common people, SO patiently.
so unobtrusively. so submissive
ly that dumb pain catches the
heart In response to the human
tragedy and pain OF the dwarfed
lives and suppressed powers.
Though the march of the worlds
toilers hurts with its pain and
its pathos, yet it brings cheer,
gladness and encouragement. To
day, though the common people
dig and delve, go down into
dark ana weary places, do the
work necessary to the intricate
organizations that supply social
needs, yet many OF them are
able, comfortable and happy
past the conception Of former
ages. And how? The labor
movement.
In some guise, with varying
ideals. the labor movement has
existed wherever there has been
need and oppression of the work
ers. 1t has led them up from
slavery to freedom, through the
gate of freedom upon the infinite
possibilities of free life that
stretch far, far away in the un-
fathomed future.

All historians agree that Peter the
Great of Russia was a man of various
accomplishments. After he became
emperor be worked as shipbuilder
in Amsterdam. His object was to
study the construction of ships that
the information gained as an ordinary
workman might aid him in establish
ing first class navy in his own coun-
try. He also studied anatomy and
seemed to delight in dissecting human
bodies. He is said to have acted as
executioner on several occasions, one
being when, after the siege of Narva,
certain soldiers disobeyed orders,
whereupon he sentenced them to death
and killed them himself. He was also
wont to fiog criminals with his own
hands
He practiced as a surgeon in his own
country, where he was accustomed to
perform amputations as we'll as to
