A city so old that even the Legend
ary lore of the Incas, who traced an
unbroken line of kings back TO the
eleventh century, is dumb concerning
the people who built it; a city which
thousand years ago had been so
long dead that even song, story and
tradition had forgotten every vestige
of its history when Columbus discov-
cred the New World. Such is the
ancient city of Tiahuanacu, whose
ruins are crumbling surely, but very
slowly. into dust not far from the
southern shore of Lake Titicaca, in
Bolivia.
1.-THE little present-day village of
Tiahuanacu is located on the railroad
which connects La Paz, the modern
capital of Bolivia, with the port of
Guaqui on Lake Titicaca,. and may
be reached in about two hours from
the former place. The ruins of an
cient Tiahuanacu, covering an area
of about square mile, are not over
9. half mile from the village" writes
| Edward Albes in the Monthly Bulle-
| tin of the Pan American Union,
| Washington, ID. c.
"a traveller stopping in the little
| town, and ignorant of the proximity
of the ruins, would be astounded to
observe the number of beautifully cut
! stones built into parts of adobe huts
of the most primitive character, and
sometimes forming portions of a
| squalid patio. A doorway to a dilapi-
dated thatch-roof hut may have lin
| tel or lamb formed by an artistically
carved stone. In the walls of the lit
| tie Catholic church and in those in
closing it's yard. and even in the paw
| iug may be seen these smooth stones.
The pedestal On which is mounted the
stone cross in front of the church is
made up of them, while on either side
OF the gateway. to the inclosure stands
a carved stone idol whose lines
marred by the ravages of time, still
show the artistic skill of the ancient
sculptors who wrought them"
Thus the ruins of the ancient city
have furnished much of the material
to build the village of today, and
| while the strict utilitarian may find
no fault with this work of destroying
| the artistic monuments of a heavy
| antiquity to cater to present needs
to the student of archaeology it seems
almost like dissertation. The Bolivian
government has recently enacted a
law which forbids the carrying off or
wilful destruction of that portion OF
the ruins which vandal hands have
left intact

a great admirer of AgassIz once
sent him a cheek for $1,000 so that he
could travel abroad and collect some
valuable material and bring home
precious truths for his wonderful sci
ence. But Agassiz wrote him that he
proposed to spend his vacation in his
own back yard. and his great mind
found even there remnants of fossil
remains and other discoveries which
made valuable additions to science.
The mind which could profitably
spend days upon the scale Of a fish,
and hours studying and reading the
history of a grain of sand from the
seashore, and the history of an ocean
pebble, could find material enough in
the humblest environment for the
profitable study of q lifetime.
The average American sees just
about as much real life, of the things
worth while, as he sees of the beau
tiful scenery through which he passes,
driving his car at high speed. OF
course, row and then he diverts his
eyes long enough to get a hasty
glimpse of a mountain peak, or a
beautiful valley, or gorgeous sunset,
but the beautiful scenery. the details
of the glorious flowers, are all lost
upon him.
All the wonderful joys of little eX-
periences, the fine courtesies, the ex-
quisite things of life, the things that
are worth while, are lost to us be-
cause we live at such a terrific pace.
We cannot take time to see things, to
appreciate them. We do not take
time to enjoy our friends. Our whole
mind is anXiously focused upon the
machine and the road in front OF us.
It is the power to appreciate, to
make our own, the intellectual and
esthetic joys that are free to all,
which raises us from the multitude.

The Belleville turnpike has three railroad grade

taken either by the railroad or the commission. A

will be enacted at the railroad crossings If they remain

the State should be TO compel their abolition by the

point in State legislation and government to make
property interests secondary to human life. In New

mainly to the enforcement of better
methods of distributing and handling
stock.
On the lands recently acquired by

Appalachian region of the east, regu-
lated grazing has been undertaken
this year on six distinct areas. The

Law and Custom.

From the Springfield Republican.
Many noteworthy things were said
at the recent banquet of the Amer
lean Association of Foreign Language
Newspapers, and of special interest
was an address on Personal LIB
erty," by Percy Andreae, which is
now issued in pamphlet form. Many
serious thinkers nowadays are calling
attention to the danger of excessive
lawmaking. Mr.. Andreae puts the
case well when he says; Whereas
law, as we generally understand it,
has always sprung from and been
established by custom, they are today
trying to reverse the process and es-
tablish custom by law"
This is quite in line with Lord Hal.

1t isn't very often that a woman
has an opportunity to gain renown
as a needlewoman, but that was the
case with the beautiful Quakeress,
Mary Knowles, who was born in Eng
land one hundred and ,eighty-one
years ago today. From her early
girlhood she was very sl<illful i'll
working with her needle and as she
grew older she was able to produce
remarkable pictures in worsted work.
Specimens of her work were sent to
the queen of England who was a
good Judge of needlework. So great
was her admiration of the Quakeress S
work that she asked her to work the
portraits of the king George Ill, and
of the young princess in the same
way. Mary executed the order so
skillfully that she again delighted the
queen, and for days the talk of the
