Tho et Tho o,ose connection between the two
types so different and yet so Complementary
strongly indicates that the priests VINO ohcia'eu
in the service of the god to whom the fiouse VI
the Dwarf was consecrated, lived In the roo"s VI
the Monias quadrangle. The two groups the
lofty pyramid temple and the low multiceheu
monastery together form well-balanced comoi'
nation.
Passing out through the arcade or the South
house and leaving the Monjas quadrangle oehlnd,
one descends by three terraces, partly aruhciai
and partly natural to the level of the plain.
few PAGES to the south may be seen two large
parallel walls, 20 feet apart, each 12S feet wide
so feet thick and about 90 feet high. THESE two
constructions are the sides of the Uxmal ball
court-the ends being open. In the center OF each
at ends directly opposite there had been fastened
originally great stone ring four feet In diameter
Both of these however now broken and lie
in fragments at the bases of their respective
walls
Beyond the ball court there is high terrace
or platform covering over three acres of ground.
and rising % feet above the plain. This supports
a second and smaller terrace. 10 feet high from
which rises the so-called governors palace-the
most magnificent example of ancient American
architecture extant today
Behind the governors palace and on the tower
of its two terraces, is the socalled House OF the
Turtles.
Another very important building at Uxmal is
the House OF the Pigeons, named because of
the fanced resemblance OF its roof crest to
dovecot
The structures described above by no
means all that remains of this ancient city Truth
is that the jungle every side for some little
distance hides the wrecks of once imposing build
ings their presence now only to be detected by
clumps of vegetation rising slightly higher than
the general level of the plain. These buildings
and their substructures have been literally torn
asunder by trees which have driven their roots
into them and pried apart the masonry Creep
ers, vines and bushes have so overgrQwn their
sides that they look like wooded hiocks. Only
on close examination does their real character ap
pear and II remains for the imagination TO re-
construct their former glory But all this ancient
lfe this great city once teeming with its toiling
thousands, is gone Palaces and temples glisten
in the sunlight. with never the tread OF sandaled
foot echong through their empty courts nor chant
OF white-robed priests sacrificing to offended gods.
Perchance a bird may futter through some ruined
doorway chirping for its mate. or buzzard cir
cling high soar above prospective prey. Save
these all else is silent, dead. the ancient pomp
and glory forever departed and gods and men
alike forgotten in the onward sweep of time.

CrinoIine in History.

The oft-threatened return of the
crinoline, prophesied by alarmists Of
fashion, leaves us all wondering. We
find that the crinoline was first worn
in the sixteenth century by Spanish
princess. who used it to conceal her
love letters from a forbidden admirer.
According to pictures Of Queen Eliza
beth, she was the first to wear it in
England, writer in the st. Louis
Post-Dispatch states. Perhaps she
wore it for the same reason. She had
need of pockets to hide such. provided
all her admirers wrote to her. Among
her earlier portraits we find that her
dress resembled that of Queen Mary.

Charley Twining, who has gained somewhat of a reputation as an alleged fisherman, also lays claim to having made a catch, but no one around this section has been able to find out whether or not it was a dead fish or one purchased at a fish market.
 Mr. Luddy modestly admitted today that he made a catch, but of what no one but Simon knows
 The party expects to make another trip to the fishing banks later in the season, probbaly when the fish mar kets are not so busy supplying fish for near-fishermen.
