streets, too. are 100 feet wide, which
may be another feature that modern
city builders may have copied from
the red men of the southwest.
Houses are built of mud. ordinary
New Mexican mud shaped into blocks
and baked hard. After centuries under
the fierce rays Of the sun the blocks get
as hard as stone. The walls are seam
less. After the blocks were placed
the Indian builders smeared the Joints
with mud, which in time became part
OF the blocks. The walls Of most of
the houses are eight feet thick. In
the early days they were often at
tackled by the warning Indians of the
southwest, as they knew that the Pu-
eblo city was always we'll stocked with
foodstuff. In the city is a cathedral
40 feet wide and so feet high. It
has two towers in which swing bells.
The cathedral Is built Of mud, Just as
the other houses in the settlement.
The roof is supported by rafters that
would serve as masts in the big sail
Ing ships. These rafters the Indians
pulled 20 miles across the plains from
the San Mateo mountains.

DESERT CITY OLDEST
Acoma, in New Mexico, Is Many
Centuries Old.
Was In Full Bloom In 1542--Has
Three Story Houses, Outside Stair
ways and 100 Foot Wide
Streets,

Chicago the Pueblo Indian
city down in New Mexico, is claimed
to be the oldest city in the western
hemisphere. 1t was in full bloom when
Coronado in 1912 came across 1t on
an exploring tour northward from Mex
leo. He found the Pueblo Indians do
ing then what they are doing today,
and doing 1t in the same fashion, and
the houses on the rocky islands that
rise several hundred feet out of the
plains are the same houses that Cor
onado's eyes rested on as he came
on the Indian city.
st. Augustine, which is often refer
red to as the oldest city in the United
States, was not discovered until 1866,
when Menendez came on Florida while
chasing a French ship under Rebaut.
Years before Coronado found it Acoma
was a recognized abode of the Pueblo
Indians. The Pueblos told Coronado
that their first city was on Katzimo,
the rocky island three miles away,
which is also called the Enchanted
Mesa Many years ago, they told
the Spanish explorer, the original
Acoma rested on the top Of Katzimo.
One day, while all but three women
we're in the plains below the tableland,
a great cliff fell, destroying the trail
from the plains to the ancient city.
The Indians took this as an indication
of the Great Spirits displeasure over
something they had done and to pun
ish them had cut off the path to their
city. Instead Of clearing the path and
returning to their old home on top OF
Katzimo the Pueblos went to the ad-
Joining tableland and there set up
the present city of Acoma, the same
city that Coronado visited in 1912.
The Pueblos look at the old city
on it's rocky site nearly 400 feet in
the air as sacred place. and woe to
the person caught trying to penetrate
its precincts.
The present city of Acoma is on
plateau that rises $50 feet out of tho
arid plains of New Mexico. The sides
OF the plateau. a mass OF brown sand
stone, are almost straight. To get to
the top one must climb crude stair
way cut in the stone. On top ono
will find three or four rows of primitive
apartment houses. These houses are
three stories high and are built on
each side of streets 1000 feet long.
The houses follow the line that seems
even straighter than the building line
N big cities, since the houses are all
of the same type of architecture and
are built up close to the line. The

TAKING VOLTAGE OF CURRENT
Electricians Experimenting to Deter

BY measuring how far an electric

from one piece of metal to another
electricians can determine the volt

a current to making broad jumps and
then scoring the feat with a tape
measure that the very high voltages
used nowadays are ordinarily meas

that the electricity jumps much more
