LOST CITY OF THE INCAS
Maehu Plcchu Has Outlook That Is
Enjoyed by Few Other Places
on the Earth.

The Incas, using the word broadly,
showed an extraordinary liking for
building on spots where they had an
unbroken outlook over all the sur
rounding world. Lovers of nature, per-
haps, they were, above all, practical
fellows, moved less by esthetic rea-
sons than by an overwhelming dislike
to being awakened from the afternoon
siesta by a well-aimed bowlder.
Yet had their only quest been unri-
vailed situations, that Of Machu Pic
chu could scarcely have been improved
upon, writer in the Century observes.
The earth offers few such views as
that from the intihuatana at the top
of the town.
The altitude Of the city is put at
$500 feet, and that of the river $500,
yet it is surprising how clearly, If
hushed, the roar Of the river comes un-
brokenly up the 1000 sheer feet to the
invulnerable city.
Utterly unpeopled, the visible world
is one tumbled mass of gigantic forest
clad mountains, rolling away to mac
cessible distance-blue ranges rising
afar off to snow-capped crests mingled
with the sky; not the haggard and ster-
lie Andes of elsewhere, but sOftened
forms so densely wooded that nowhere
is spot Of earth visible.
Swing round the circle, and on the
other side the gaze falls precipitOusly
into the Urubamba. Three great blue
ranges rise one behind the other, grow
ing from blue to purple farther off, the
central Cordilleras shutting off all the
world beyond, seemingly near at hand,
vet only a week of hard travel would
attain 1t.
In another direction the rolling
ranges, faded to purple, die entlcingly
away one behind another into the great
montana and the region of the Anna
zon, while masses of pure white
clouds come majestically up out Of
Brazil beyond.

The development of the dairy indus

COWS is not compensated for by the re-
turns from the business. This is not
true in a great many cases, for the eX-
perience of many farmers, who, with
the help of one man, are able to make
a herd of 20 cows pay them excellent
returns has proven that this average
sized herd Is not bad investment
One may correctly assume that if
these animals are placed in healthful
Surroundings and given the best of at
tention the best results may be expect
ed of them. This may be accomplished
at very reasonable expense by the
construction of a separate stable, which
will easily be paid for by the increased
returns made possible by the better ia
cilities for giving the herd the atten-
ton which modern practice indicates is
necessary for successful dairying.
The particular building shown here
is SO feet in width and 81 feet in
length, exclusive of the feedroom and

tirely to the housing of stock, 1t being

This stable has a solid concrete
foundation with walls that extend up
two feet above ground level. 1t is in
tended that the entire outer surface Of

Inside the foundation walls is

with managers at the sides Of the center

the front portions being on level with
the manger floors. The standing floors
slope from the center to the cutters.
The alleys behind the cutters are sew

It sounded like a small revolution,
but the sophisticated Topekans on the
outside of the shoe-shining shop con-
cluded it was only riot among the
Greeks, and they felt sure the police
could handle it without the aid of the
militia. There were six or seven of
them, headed by particularly fierce
looking Athenian, who gesticulated
wildly and seemed about to strike his
opponent with his fist. A bystander
dashed away to call the police and
prevent bloodshed. Just then one Of
the rioters came outside and was asked
what the row was about.
"Alexipolos say he believe he'll buy
a shoe-shine shop" he explained. "We

ton was supposed to be very advanced
and it's powerful armies were said to
have penetrated Africa as far as
Egypt. The whole island according
to this legend, was engulfed by the sea
in day and night. Another story
says that great earthquake destroyed
the island. The legend was ascrlbed
to Egyptian priests, and on some old
Italian maps Atlantis is placed to the
westward of the Azores. Among some
tribes of South and Central America
there is the legend Of vast cataclysm
which engulfed a great extent of land.
Eminent scientists have found moth
ing impossible in the existence at some
time Of a great Atlantic island, but the
story of Atlantis is generally regarded
as a myth.

When Fingers May be Used
Perfectly Proper When Certain Kinds
of Food Are Served, Is the
General Understanding.

The epicure and the fastidious diner
agrees that certain foods may be eaten
without the use of fork or spoon. Sara
toga chips are eaten with the fingers,
as also are scallions, radishes, olives,
celery, tarts, cakes and bonbons.
Asparagus, either hot or cold, when
served whole, should be eaten with
the fingers. Lettuce leaves, which
may be dipped in either dressing or
salt and then rolled, and straw
berries, when served au natural, that
is, with the stems on.
Fruits of all kinds may be eaten
with the fingers. Cheese is invari-
ably taken with the fingers by the
connoisseur.

birds are usually eaten In this man

she went down in the elevator and
looked for Jim in the hall. Jim was
nowhere to be seen.

Dolly thanked him. She felt foolish
to think that she had passed Jim in

and was soon taken up again. She
opened the door Of her room.

And suddenly she became hideously

The furniture looked very much the

hat on the table couldn't be hers-she
detested artificial flowers.
Dolly unable to speak, fled, while
the stranger followed her in heslta-
tion, as if afraid to make a sugges-
tion. AT the entrance to the elevator
Dolly saw what was wrong. She had
been taken up to the sixth story in
stead of the seventh
She got into the elevator, and, as
1t shot up, she perceived the stranger
making for the stairs. With a dread
full fear that he was going to try to
cut off her flight, she fairly ran along
the corridor of the story above. She
burst into the room.
"Darling" she heard a manly voice
exclaim to a girl who was just enter
ing the room. And, looking up, she
was Mortified to see Jim folding an
other girl in his arms.
Dolly screamed, but her scream was
not so loud as that Of the other girl.
She wriggled out Of Jim's arms and
confronted him Indignantly.
"How dare you! How dare you"
she cried in fury, while her face grew
scarlet. "And what are you doing in

and more 10 the attention Of those who
have contributed to the rapid advance
Of improved conditions in this business
during recent years. The new methods
have found a basis for operation in al
most every community and the public
has been aroused to such Il point that
the dairyman who does not follow the
trend Of the times is very likely to
have a shrinking market for his prod
ucts. The days of the old tumble
down dairy barn have passed and the
modern structure must pass the APP
proval Of the critical age in which il is
erected.
One Of the modern principles is
shown in the tendency, in some parts
of the country where farmers are do
ing special dairy work along sanitary
lines, to house the dairy cows in such
separate stable as Is shown here.
The purpose of this practice is TO
eliminate the dirt and dust occasioned
by handling Of feed or other material
from the air in the stable Clean air
is as important as clean feed or clean
floors. This purpose Is further aided
by the ease with which the problem
Of ventilation may be solved when the
herd is kept in Il building by itself
The practice is an admirable one and

pense involved in adding a building for
