Cruel Human Sacrifices
Part of Aztec Religion

In ancient Mexico, the Mexico of the
Aztecs human sacrifices were not only
the custom, but practically the only
sacrifice offered. But mostly the sac
rif1ces were composed of offenders,
law-breakers and enemies. Enemies
were generally offered up in prefer
ence to victims of their own race.
Another civilization much like the
Aztec was the Incas. The Aztecs and
the people Of the Incas worshiped
sun god much as the Egyptians and
the Babylonians, although the moon
was sort of lesser divinity to each,
finding its counterpart in the Egyptian
Isis.
The human sacrifices were unneces-
sarlly cruel. The victim was either
laid upon a regular sacrilclal table
and had his heart cut out by few
incisions, or else was put upon an
eminence and armed with a blunt
wooden sword. He was then attacked
successfully by men armed with OBJ
sidian swords and very sharp. He
fought until he was killed. Many evil
dences Of these cruelties have been
excavated.
There was another custom, that Of a
priest praying a person to death This
was believed quite possible. Anyone
whom priest was known as praying
to die was certain to die. For the
most part they did, killed by terror

Wedding Nitrogen

Four-fifths Of the air is nitrogen gas.
It is useless. But nitrogen In other
forms makes fertilizers and helps grow
wheat to make bread Why the differ
ence?
Simply this, the nitrogen in the air
exists in state of single blessedness,
says the st. Louis Post-Dispatch. It is
just nitrogen. In the fertilizers the
nitrogen has got married; each atom
of the nitrogen has attached itself to
an atom Of oxygen. Like so many peo
pie, the married nitrogen goes to
work; the single nitrogen loafs.
One of the most important dlscov.
cries Of recent years was made a
short time ago in the fixed nitrogen

way 70 make the nitrogen Of the air
get married; to convert the useless
kind Of nitrogen which is so plentiful
in the air into the married kind we
need for fertilizers.

Later, IN the shadow Of the vine-clad

but I hadn't the nerve-you do hate a
country town, and to tell the truth,
my dear, I think it's great here. The

Sally hesitated for an instant. The
