Washington, May 13.-"Perhaps no
where else in the world is there a
country SO full of contrasts as Mex
ico," writes William Joseph ShoWal
ter to the National Geographic soci-
ETY., at Washington, d. c. with a
university established before John
Harvard, Elihu Yale, or William and
Mary were born, the masses Of its
people are hopelessly ignorant. With
hospital founded before James
town was even dreamed of, it is one
of the most backward regions Of the
earth in a medical way. With nat
ural riches greater than those Of a
thousand Midas's, it's masses are just
as poor as the proverbial church
mouse. With constitution as per-
feet as any organic law in the civil
lied world, it is nation whose rulers
always have been law unto them
selves
" Dollar Trousers.
Here you will see a Mexican half
breed, barefooted, wearing a dollar
pair Of trousers, 50-cent shirt and
a $40 sombrero. There, at a single
glance and within the length of a
single city block, you may see an
Indian cargador, a donkey, an OK
cart, a carriage, a railroad train, a
street car, and an acknowledgements
every type of locOmotion since Ad-
am. You may tread the burning
sands Of a tropical desert with the
wet of the perpetual snow of tower
ing mountains still upon your shoes.
You may take railway journey
of SO hours in which the people you
see at the railroad station will be
dressed in four different weights OF
clothing. Everywhere you turn there
is contrast, high lights and deep
shadows.
Range Of Vegetation.
Mexico probably has a greater
range of remarkable vegetation than
any other country in the world. The
parrot fruit tree produces an odd
shaped fruit, bearing close resem-
olance to green Darakeets. When the
parakeet is frightened it makes a
dash for the parrot tree, where it
assumes a position which makes it
look like the fruit itself. So close is
the resemblance that their enemies,
the hawks, occasionally fly by a tree
on which dozen or more of these
birds are sitting, apparently unaware
of their presence Another remark
able tree is the 'Arbol de DYNAMITE
dynamite tree-whose fruit, if kept
in warm place, bursts. with consid-
cradle force and loud report, scat
tering its flat seeds to a surprising
distance. One of the most interesting
fruits in Mexico is known as the
melon zapote, or papaya. 1t contains
considerable pepsin, which reacts
against both acid and alkaline condi
tons of the stomach, and it is said
that diet which includes papaya
precludes dyspepsia. Both the fruit
and the leaves possess the singular
property of rendering tough meat ten
der. When the pulp of the fruit is

With the United States feet at
Vera Cruz is the battleship Mississip,
pi, attached to the aviation center at
Pensacola, and several of the best
pilots Of the navy flying corps, in
GLIDING Lieutenant Eellingsr, with
their aeroplanes. The navy has II
air craft, most OF them of flying boat
type and of the most modern con.
structicn, with which the corps has
been in practice since last December
at Pensacola. ...-.
The machines most used are known
as the "owl'' flying boats. The name
was not conferred on them by reason
Of any particular resemblance to the
bird -of night, but in abbreviation Of
the phrase, "over water and land"
signifying the use for which they are
designed. The hulls of hydroplane or
fast motor boat type, enable these
flying machines to alight on or rise
from the water and to run on the
surface of the water as boat.

flying boats are carried aboard the
warships and are used for scouting
purposes. Usually they have been
launched by lowering over the side
by a crane. then rising from the wa,

AT 20 miles an hour the craft glides
easily into the air, where it readily
attains speed of 60 miles an hour.
The pilots are young, daring and
ambitious junior officers of the navy

prove the value of the new arm of
the fleet in active service. ..

Spilled With Railroads.


mo other country south of the Rio
Grande is SO well supplied with rail
roads. Prior to the Madero revolu-
ton it had 10000 miles of up to date
American railroad, which carried H.
100000 passengers annually and han.
dler about 100000 tons of freight
Ihelr total revenues amounted to
about $40,000,00O. The government
owns a controlling interest in the ma
Jor portion Of the mileage of the rail-
roads.
One third of Silver.
Mexico produces one-third of the
worlds silver, a considerable percent
age OF it's gold, one-ninth of it's lead,
ana one-tWentieth of it's copper. The
country's mineral production, exclus.
I've OF iron, coal and petroleum,
amonted to $15S,000,0OO in 1910. The
famous iron mountain at Durango is
estimated to contain GO,OO0,O00 tons
OF iron ore, which is worth seven
times the value Of all the gold and
silver mined in Mexico in two cen
turtles. The Santa Maria graphite
mines are the largest and most i'm
portant in the western world. The
region around the Gulf of Mexico is
very rich in petroleum. One company
at Poteri del Llano struck a gusher
which flowed 100000 barrels of oil a
day.
Drawn Work Fafous.
Inc draWn-Work of the Mexican In.
dian is justly famed throughout the
world, and deserves to rank with the
1lnest OF Spanish and Italian laces
The Indians make all sorts of small
objects to attract the centavos of the
tourist. The little dolls Of Cuernavaca
half-lnch tall aid dressed in finely
embroidered rainment, are the admir-
atlon OF, every, one who sees them. The
small clay animals, perfectly fashion
ed and ranging from the peaceful dog
to the charging bull, and the buckine
mule, would do credit to the genius
OF many sculptor whose name fig.
ures in the art publications of the
world. But perhaps the most wonder.
full of all are the tiny dressed fleas,
which may be bought in Mexico City.
Another wonderful work of the Indians
IS the making ,of feather pictures
from the plumage Of humming- birds,
now almost a lost art.
Eat Curious Foods.
"The Indians of Mexico eat many
curiou sfoods. One of the most re-
markable of these is made of the eggs
of a species of marsh fly. This fly
deposits it's eggs in incredible guam
titles upon flags and rushes. The
eggs are gathered and made into cakes
which are sold in the markets. The
Indians call the eggs water-wheat4
They resemble fine fish roe, and when
mixed with corn meal and fowl eggs
form staple article of diet, particu-
larly during Lent. The insects them,
selves, which are about the size of the
house-f!y, are captured, pounded into
a paste, boiled in corn husks in much
the same fashion as tamales, and in
this form are eaten"

Measure to Block Bien-

fFrom The Rocky Mounialn New }

The Denver Convention league is in
itiating a constitutional amendment with
the object OF stopping continual political
agitation 10 Colorado and preventing
petty larceny politicians playing tag
with Initiated measures.
The amendment Is aiuied especially al
the liquor question. 1t provides that
any measure voted upon 10y the people
may not be brought up again at any
election for six years The present Law
provides that no measure may be voted
upon at lesser intervals than two year.
Present Law Is Weak.
The present law ia bad, members Of
the convention association believe. il
that any measure may continually he
agitated and conditions kept stirred NJ
and unsettled and no person be able t.
tell what the law will be.
This affects the convention association
particularly. because il is required +,
work ahead in the future in bringing
meetings to Denver. With the present
law operative, the association is unable
to say definitely to any body what con.
ditions it will encounter if il holds its
convention in Denver.

FARLINGER SAYS
GIRLS HIGH IS .
FIRE TRAP

Alderman Jesse NJ. Armistead and
Councilman A. w. Farlinger, repre-
senting the General Councils School
Committee. Thursday described the
Girls High School as a mystic
maze and claimed it would be easier
to solve Chinese puzzle than to find
ones way about the place unas-
sisted.
Wednesday survey Of eight
schools on the South Side was made,
and, though conditions somewhat bet
ter than those OF the North Side were
found many improvements win be
recommended The chief OF these win
| be that the Commercial High and the
Girls High School be located to-
gether on one site.
The committee de med this change
vital, and will urge its precedence
over any other recommendation. The
combined seating capacity Of both
schools was found to be 1893. Little
congestion was noticed
Fire Peril Great, He Says.
Accommodation at the CONNER
cial High School are very made
quate,9 said Councilman Farlinger.
THE stairs leading from the first
10 the second floor need immediate
attention. They are entirely too mar
row to afford an easy ext for some
$50 children confined to the second
floor, and IN case of fire would prove
exceedingly dangerous.
Ut would be a physical impossl-
bility for the pupils to get out with
any degree Of quickness. The build
1 ing is old and of frame construction,
which would prove easy prey TO
flames, The heating system also is
very bad"
Speaking Of the Girls High School,
! Alderman Armistead said II was a
terribly mixed up affair He com
pared II with . mystic maze, and
said one would require a map and
compass to get about without guide.
He explained that II was made up
Of four entirely separate sections.
1--WE were surprised TO find the pri-
mary grades divided into sections"
he continued. There are eight first
grades, FIVE second, three third aud
three fourth grades, and each grade
has about SO pupils. These go pupils
are in the charge OF one teacher.
