LOOK FOR IMPORTANT FINDS
Archeologists Believed on Verge Of
Great Discoveries in Districts
of Central America.

Important medical and economical
to the modern life of the peoples of
the world are on the verge of being
made at the present time in several
districts of Central America by Ameri-
can psychologists.
This prophecy was made by Prof
William Gates, president of the Maya
society, in an address delivered at the
meeting, at Johns Hopkins university,
of the Archaeological Institute of
America, the Pathological association
and the Maya society.
Prof. Gates brought forth in his
talk the fact that in Central America
there has recently been discovered the
evidences of an ancient race Of peo-
pie, with a civilization as old and as
cultured as that Of the ancient Egyp-
tians.
The plans Of an eminent group OF
American Psychologists for further ex-
ploratiOn of the remains Of this
ancient race were dwelt on by the
speaker These workers, he declared,
hold forth the promise to the Ameri-
can people of a new region, rich with
archaeological material, the surface OF
which has yet only been scratched.
Among the most important discover
les expected to be made there are the
unearth!ng Of further native medical
works, some Of which are already in
the hands Of the Maya society, that
will add valuable specific pharma-
cOpoeia and medical knowledge to that
society in this country.

BurnjnQ Coal Dust.

The enterprises of one motorcar
manufacturer extend even to the own
ership of mines in West Virginia.
from which he digs coal for his motor.
car factory.
In the plant at River Rouge, Mich,
eight enormous boilers are being in
stalled for furnaces which will burn
pulveriZed coal and gas Simultaneous
ly This will be accomplished by fir
ing the coal vertically from the top
and injecting the gas horizontally
through the side of the furnace, the
coal flame and gas flame uniting at
the proper point for greatest efficiency.
These furnaces will burn 1000 tons
of coal per day, and from the time
the coal leaves the mines in West Vir-
ginia until its residue is carried away
as ashes, it will not be touched by hui
man hands. All requisite operations
will be done mechanically-dum
pulverizing, carrying to bins, stocking,
and even transportation Of the ashes
In small dummy cars.

New Type of OiI-Burner.

A. recently developed heavy-oil-
burning engine of only medium high
compression, that Is, semi-Diesel
type, is adapted to uses In oil fields
and localities where the water con-
tains large quantities Of gritty sub
stances, making 1t unsafe to inject
into the cylinders, says Popular Me-
chanics Magazine. The Diesel design
is adhered to in the new type with the
exception that the excessively high
compression pressures of 400 to 500
pounds to the square inch are not
used. TO start the engine, the mer-
curry is brought to a high heat with a
hlowtorch. After starting. the heat
of the compression and combustion
maintains the temperature. Mercury
is used, for the reason that 1t Is a
fairly good heat insulator and keeps
the bottom of the chamber hot, and
,hat. though 1t boils, there Is no loss,
as the. vapor condenses on the inside
wall of the water-jackcted top of the
igniter and returns to the bottom.

HAT BOTHERED JUNGLE JOE"

Don Il temporarily.

In 1901 Representative Cannon was
living ut the Cochran hotel, and the
evening before the Inauguration, l..
White Busbey. now his private secre-
tary, but at that time correspondent
of the Chicago Inter Ocean, entered
Mr.. Cannon's room at the hotel and
found the venerable legislator standing
before a mirror and swearing over a
plug hat with which he was practic-
ing.
II tell you l won't wear the d-n
thing" calculated Uncle Joe explosive
ly. II never wore one in my life and

But, Mr.. Cannon" suggested Bus
hey amiably, IF you don't wear 1t you
will attract more attention in the
parade than the president, and you
don't want to do that"
Flows that?" snapped Uncle Joe.
"Why," exclaimed Busbey, you will
be the only man in the carriage that
won't be wearing silk hat, and you
will he too conspicuous"
At that comment Miss Cannon, the
daughter whose devotion to her father
was so we'll known, entered the room.
Father will wear the hat, Mr.. Bus
bey," said Miss Cannon gently. "You
needn't worry"
Uncle Joe dutifully wore that hat
the next day. He wore it again at
the funeral of Mckinley. These are
said to be the only times in his life

Disappearance o, Lske..

Whether the globe on which we dwell
Is gradually drying up or not Is a
question that has been much debated.
Recent discoveries In central Asia
have been regarded by some as favor
ing an Affirmative answer. but others
have replied that the observed phen-
omena are simply periodic changes.
One authority champions the aiirmn-
tive view on the ground that O great
number Of European lakes have GER
talnly disappeared within the last $50
years. The canton OF Zurich. for ex-
ample, had 14e hikes n quarter OF n
century ngo, and only 10 today. II is
believed by some that a similar ten
dency TO disappear has affected the
lakes OF Germany and Russia.

The latest war to break out In this

possession of a zone twenty miles long
and eight deep. The Serb commander
on the frontier ordered the Albanians
to evacuate six own in that territory,
and twenty-fOur hours later began
hostilities. Bishop San Noli, Albanian
delegate to the League of Nations. re-
ported the affair to that body, and
later 1t was secretly considered by the

through to the Adriatic by way of

hopes eventually to absorb the north

credited with an ambition to grab the
