PUT THEIR WITS TO WORK
Spanish Post Office Clerks Did Really
creditable Job in Solving Rcbus
on Envelope.

A curlously addressed letter passed
through the post Office at Madrid,
which was deciphered and correctly
delivered, Notwithstanding all difticul-
ties, says the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The address was a perfect rebus. Al
the left hand side was the figure Of a
lady; it was clear, therefore. to which
sex the recipient should belong. Over
the lady's head the sun was rising !;
hence her name was inferred to be
Aurora. For her surname stood hill,
with castle at its foot, which gives
us Monies y CASTILLO"
Next comes the town, for which the
plan of city was drawn, on which the
Alhambra was legible. This indicated
Granada; but in order to leave no
doubt possible, a pomegranate was
drawn beside the plan. To complete
the address number was indicated in
one of the streets of the city plan.
The postal authorities took three
days to study this curiosity and then
triumphantly delivered the letter to
"Senorita Aurora Monies CASTILLO,
Azacayas, No. 20. Granada" and so far
from censuring the sender, they had
the envelope photographed and copy
printed in the Madrid newspapers, as o
proof of the intelligence of the depart
ment.

BUILT IN HONOR OF BUDDHA
Hill Temple of Boro-Budor in Java Is
One of the Marvels OF the
World Today.

The hill temple of Boro-Rudor in
Java is one of the most gigantic and
finest works ever reared by the an
clients. 1t represents more human
labor and artistic skill than the great
pyramid of Egypt. Said Alfred r.
Wallace, the scientist: "The human
labor and skill expended on Boro-
Budor is so great that that eNi ended
on the great pyramid sinks into insig
nificance."
The temple was built about the
seventh century Of our era. 1t stands
in Central Java, originally monu-
ment of Buddha. The ashes of Bud
dha, originally divided into eight parts
and buried in eight different places,
were disinterred and re-divided into
$4,000 parts, which were placed in
vases and distributed all over his
dominions.
When Buddhist missionaries went
to Java in the seventh century they
carried with them one of these vases.
AS fitting receptacle for the vase,
Boro- Budor temple, the finest piece Of
architecture in the then known world,
and one which has never been rivaled
since, was erected.

Accepting TO FIXED DESIGN
Variety of Reasons Advanced for the
Ar ,ment of Paint on the
Checks Of Clown.

All pantomime, clowns paint their
cheeks and mostly they do so accord
ing to certain designs handed down
from .'oN,,ration to generation. But
as to yhy and the wherefore opin-
ionS
ACC ding to one authority
let triangle- rcd fishtail aAQ Qalf
moon, origir from dabs of YER
million rl,c re and there on The
cheeks at hapl.azard 10 represent
naughty boy who had been at the jam
pot.
Another says that the pantomme
clowns redeemed face is intended as q
burlesque of the rouge-tinted cheeks
Of the pantomime Columbine; while
yet third has 1t that the crimson
patches are survival from the early
mystery plays, when the clown was a
demon, and red all over
The theory has also been held that
the modern clown in pantomime is a
direct descendant of Momus, the god
Of mOckery of the early mystery plays
and Mosques, who was always repre-
sented with huge gaping mouth. Tire
red fishtail is merely the survival Of
that part OF the medieval makeup
which aimed at producing an appar-
emf friargement of the mouth.
lhese curious scarlet symbols are
only found on the cheeks of panto-
mime clowns. The ordinary circus
clown does not paint his cheeks.
He paints only his nose, with view
to poking fun at the boss, the ring
master, whose nasal organ, in regard
to the old-time circuses at all events,
was more often than not apt to be
highly colored.-Pearson's Weekly.

Recent Discoveries by Anthropoiosls,
Reveal Much Of Interest Con.
corning Ancient Race.

Additional Indication that the Pueblo
Indian cliff jewellers at Aztec, N. NJ,
founded the Aztec and Bonito culture
has been uncovered by new excava-
tions of the American Museum Of Nat.
ural History, 1t Is announced.
Discovery Of a sealed room in per
feet condition at the Pueblo ruin in
Aztec, surprising in beauty and state
OF preservation any previously found
In America, was reported to the muse
UNI by DR.. Clark Wissler. curator Of
anthropology.
The interior Of the sealed room IL
plastered and painted in brilliant white
with dull red side borders and a run
ming series Of triangular designs, Dr..
Wissler reported. A sacred serpent
carved in wood decorates the ceiling.
1t is two and one-half feet long and Of
the finest workmanship. On the cell
ing beams are imprints Of hands In
white paint. Several strands Of finely
made rope hang down and on the
floor are large number Of nicely cut
stone Slabs one Of which was ~ By
13a feet and ~ inches thick.
Several adjoining rooms, seeming to
bear relation to this sealed one, are
yet to be uncovered, DIR. Wisslef
stated. Continuing on the Aztec ex-
cavation, he said:
"Since the greater part of the west
side is now uncovered, one can get a
full sweep over this immense COM
pick of stone walls and quaint door
ways. Our excavations have revealed
that the greater part Of the east and
north sides Of the city were swept by
fire. The ceilings were of wood, sup
ported by great logs of cedar and
spruce, overlaid by split cedar and
bark. These fell down upon each 9TH
er and lay in the lower rooms in great
charred masses. We found the bodies
Of several unfortunates caught in the
rooms.
"As the fire did not reach the west
side we found large number Of rooms
with their ceilings still intact and
household utensils on the floor just as
they were left"
