NEXI(AN PYRAMIDS.
Archaeological Investigation DiSCloscs
 Old Relies of Former .Nrc.

Mexico City Aug. 20.--Archcoloci- cal investigations by an governmental commission to solve the mystery of who built the great pyramids at san Juan Teotihuacan, 27 miles from Mexico City, have brought to light two great granite heads of the an cicnt Mexican god of the air, Quet- ZalCOat. These heads arc almost perfect specimens, bearing all the symbolic markings.
 The long disputed point as to who erected the pyramids is, as yet un- solved. These huge mounds, one to the sun and the other to the moon, the former being 761 by 721 feet at the base and PIG feet hiGih are gen erallY attributed to tri3e that pre- ceded the Toltecs, probably dating from about the sixth century.

TYPHOID SICKNESS
 MAY AFFECT STATE
Continued from First Page)

Several Plainville people were en- ployed at the grounds during the session of the MethodiSts. These have all had blood tests taken and Dr. Bull stated this morning that these tests have all proved negative. No tests of any Plainville persons at the grounds have proved the germs existing in town.
 Dr. Reeks of the state board of health stated when he started an in NeStIGatlon at the grounds that he WAS of the opinion that the germs were carried to the grounds by some per son, the people sick later coming in contact with that one person. All efforts have been bent to find the one person carrying the germ. The re- ports of sickness in Haddam and Hig ganum however seem to knock the theory a trife as the IIaddam cot tage is located some distance from the kensinGton cottage.
 Await State Report
 Dr. Bull said he had heard that the persons in Haddam were both elderly, over 50, and he was slleptical as to whether they are sick with typhoid. He awaits the report of the state health man with great in terest. He points to the significance of the fact that the disease seemed to have been communicated to persons during the dates of July IS, 19, and 20. The case of the New Britain lady, Miss Larson, is peculiar. She came to the grounds on the 18th, ate two meals at the kensington cot tage and departed. She was among the first taken sick.
 The local health officer while seemingly worried over the sickness, stated that there is no cause of alarm. He is confident that the disease wifi not become epidemic as the time elapsing makes the danger of such more minimum.
