MEXICO CITY: THE ROME
OF THE AMERICAS

in all the world one cannot find
more remarkable capital than Mex
leo City, says William Joseph Sho-
walter in communication to the Ma
tional Geographic society.
situated in Il valley whose floor
is mile and a half above the level
of the sea, and whose borders are sur
rounded by towering mountains; To-
Gated where the beautiful volcanoes,
Pop0catepetl and IXtaccihuatl, rear
snow-capped heads above the plain and
stand eternal guard over it, its situ-
alton Is one of rare beauty and grand
eur. Its climate is mild, the temper
ature ranging from 80 to 20 degrees,
with mean of 60 degrees. No man
sleeps without a blanket in Mexico
City, nor needs an overcoat at midday.
prior to the conquest the lakes of
the Mexican valley We're extensive and
the barges of the Aztecs sailed unin-
terruptedly from the gates of Chapul-
tepec 10 Ixtapalapa. A large number
of canals intersected the ancient me-
tropols of Tenochtitlan and connect
ed with the lakes in the suburbs max
ing ii a sort of new world Venice.
''In 1907 the celebrated Portuguese
engineer Martinez undertook to drain
the Valley of Mexico by cutting a
canal through the mountains. The
work, however, was largely failure,
since it drained only one small lake
and an unimportant river, leaving
lakes Texcoco and Chalco still perpet-
ual menaces to the city.
sin 1879 a huge drainage canal 30
miles long was begun, which was
completed in 1900, at cost of about
SS.0O0000, American gold. Its COM
pletion removed the danger of inunda-
tons from Mexico City and solved the
problem which occupied the thoughts
and engendered the fears of the
Aztecs as far back as 1449.
"Mexico City is the most complete
mixture of the ancient and the modern
to be found in the new world. The
old city might date anywhere from the
tenth century, from its appearance.
The new city is ultra modern, and you
step from the sixteenth to the twen-
tieth century by walking across the
street.
"The parade ground of Mexico City
is the Avenida de San Francisco.
This short street extends from the
Mexican White House to the Alameda,
and is only about "a feet from curb
to curb. Here, at the approach of twi-
light, every smart equipage in the cap
ital comes. Down the one side of the
street and up the other side moves the
procession at a slow walk, while ev-
erybody looks at everybody else.
"As Avenida de San Francisco unites
the old and the new cities, so does the
Cinco de Mayo (Fifth of May) unite
the cathedral, stateliest of all the re-
ligious edifices on the continent, with
the National theater, which was
planned to be the most beautiful of
all the amusement places in America.
The Cinco de Mayo is the Wall street
of Mexico, and the buildings which
line It are modern in every respect.
"The Paseo de la Reforma, extend
ing from Chapultepec TO the Avenida
de Juarez, a short avenue connecting
the Paseo with Avenida de San Fran
cisco. is one Of the finest driveways
of the world.

From Coal Gas.

An English engineer, Ernest Bury,
claims that he has succeeded in ex-
tracing ethylene alcohol from coal
oven gas on commercial scale, says
the Scientific American. The practi-
cal working of the process at the Skin
ningrove works, where $500 tons Of
coal are carbonized per week, reveals
an average yield Of 1.6 gallons Of al
cohol per ton Of coal. The total weight
Of coal reduced to coke in this country
during 1918 was 14,635,OOO tons, so
that the application of Mr.. Bury's
process to this quantity Of coal would
yield R3,416,640 gallons of alcohol,
which would be available as liquid
fuel. Coal treated at gas works would
yield a further 27,000,000 gallons, or,
taking alcohol and benzol together,
III, 100000 gallons Of liquid fuel per an.
mum could be produced from the car
bonization of coal in this country
toward meeting the total requirement
of about 16OOOO,OO0 gallons.

"Oh, she? Little Dorrit? She's
nothing; she's within Others"
And thus Mrs. Flintwinch, wife of
the crafty, crablike walking footman
of the household, introduced to Arthur
Clennam the name of the poor little
seamstress Of the paralytic Mrs. Glen
nam. @T
He had noted her pale, transparent
face, quick in expression though not
beautiful in feature, except for it's
soft hazel eyes. A delicately bent
head, tiny form, shabby dress-it
must needs have been very shabby to
look at all so, being so neat--were Lit
fle Dorrit as she sat at work.
A strange presentiment came into
Arthur's mind that, in some way, this
gentle maiden was connected with
his history.
For 20 years young Clennam had
lived in China with his father, only to
return now, puzzled over a mysterious
watch which that father, in the very
last moments of his life, had given
to his son, murmuring family and in
distinctly at the time: "Your mother"
Naturally Arthur had assumed that
it was intended for Mrs. Clennam,
whom he and the world supposed to
be his mother.
Inside the watch casing was an old
silk paper with the initials D N r
worked into it in beads. It was mes
sage-but the young man could not
fathom it and the old woman would
not enlighten him. Was Little Dorrit,
to whom the stony Mrs. Clennam paid
such strange, unusual kindness, con-
nected with the mystery?
They grew to see more of each 9th.
er-the girl and the young man-and
Arthur learned that the generous lit
tie Amy Dorrit was supporting not
only her poor old father, who had
been condemned to a debtors prison,
but also her pretty, frivolous sister,
Fanny, and her wild, lazy brother, Tip.
Under the then existing English laws
they were all allowed to live with
their father in that dreary prison.
Little wonder that Clennam often
spoke kindly to her and that he helped
the family. But love had not yet
come to him-though it had to Little
Dorrit. He heard the thrill in her
voice, he saw the quickening bosom,
and yet the remotest suspicion Of the
truth never dawned upon his mind.
It must be added here that Little
Dorrit had innocently won the love
Of another man, the sentimental son
of the prison turnkey, small Of stat
ure, with rather weak legs and very
weak eyes, gentle but great Of soul,
poetical, faithful. If one were to
doubt his devotion he need only read
the inscription for his own tombstone,
which the romantic youth had CON-
posed when Little Dorrit said mo" to
him. It ran thus:

But, at last, the tables turned for
our little heroine. A queer, kind
hearted rent collector, Pancks-a
painting little steam-tug Of a man, with
his putting and his pauses-had
learned to value the friendship of the
motherless girl, and so, having acct.
dentally discovered that her father
was the probable heir to an enormous
estate, had run down the clues until
finally the great wealth was turned
over to old Mr.. Dorrit.
Then away from the dreary prison
hurried the entire family.
Yet riches brought slight pleasure
to Little Dorrit.' The much-changed
father became ashamed Of his debtor
life, and with the now richly dressed
sister and the gambling brother, put
on many airs. The father even en-
ployed a chaperon named Mrs. Gen.
eral to teach Little Dorrit society
manners.
Don't say father" declared this
lady, papa is preferable word; it
gives pretty form to the lips. Fa-
Their is rather vulgar, my dear. You
will find 1t serviceable in the forma-
ton Of a demeanor If you say to your
self, on entering room filled with
company, Papa, potatoes, poultry,
prunes and prism"
At this juncture the wealthy Mrs.
Merdle took an active part in the
Dorrits' lives. The chuckle-headed
son of the Merdles fell in love with
Fanny, and after their marriage hIr
Dorrit put all his wealth into Mrs.
Merdle's schemes-for had not this
wonderful Merdle, through various
mysterious movements, made tremen-
