LACKED ELEVATORS

Unlike the pyramids of Egypt with its
huge jutting blocks of stone forming an
endless stairs to the top, the sun pyra-
mid is built with a smooth surface in
five distinct tiers. Ascent is made by
steps built into the side and to the I'M
iritated the undertaking is almost peril
Gus because of the steep incline with no
supporting balustrades. It differs from
it's Egyptian counterparts also in the re-
spect that it contains no interior pas
sages or rooms.
The pyramid of the moon is smaller
with q base measuring about 511x45 feet
1t rises Isl feet with a browning plat
form about 10 feet square.
In connection with his supervision of
the excavations, Senior Gamio has in
terested himself in the Indian life of the
valley and one of his first efforts has
been to establish schools with SPECIAL at
tention paid to manual training.
Originally, the valley contained 10000
Indians. but these had been reduced to
10000 in colonial days and now number
less than 5000. They earn but a poor
living when crops are good and when
there are failures starvation and wide
spread death ensue.
Groups of Indians at pottery making,
new industry in the valley, were evi-
dence that a portion at least of Senior
Gamio's programme is being carried out.
