This curious figure recently discovered By the distinguished
explorer Dr. Gam, god demon representing SIM in
strange low temple Of Yucatan.
Recently the mysteries Of Yucaan Of her strange ancient
religion and her presentday mixture Of Christianity and
Pagnm have been explored BY Dr. Gam and many strange
things revealed.
There have been found temples with doors so low they are
supposed prove the existence Of pygmy among the
ancient Mayas inhabitants Of Central America.
Of course it is certain that very low door and low
roof prove the existence Of pygmies.
In Russia in the time Of Ivan the Terrible the Russians
tall enough six feet many Of them But they built
doors that made it necessary to bend almost dobe go
through them That was economy and in the house.
II may be that the ancient Mayas thought the time might
as well be spent sitting down.
In any case this particular picture shows the god the
demon Of SIM in his particular temple with very low roof
Until DR.. Cam discovered it, nobody had this
temple heard Of this strange nhabant The Indians
Of YuCatan say il is place accused and keep away from it,
They afraid Of the Sin Devil that lives inside of it,
Pagan barbarous human races nvenng different kinds Of
religions have always invented gods and demons
like themselves They good in men, they invent
kind Of strange god very good but often very sleepy They
evil SIM in themselves usually very active the most
active thing about the savages So they invent devils and
demons to represent sin, and make them very busy.
Among savage peoples it was and is customary to pay
much attention to the devil than to the good but sleepy
god you leave the good god alone he will bother you
whereas the devil is always up mischief Therefore
more sacrifices are offered to him.
Won would be interested to know Just what kind Of sin
this strange old figure represents Perhaps he represented
al the sins put together The Yucaan Indians Of today
know little about him. They less converted to
the Christian religion and in their temples they combine
Christianity with the ancient Pagan worship pure Christianity
. beng little above their heads.

Cotton, the soft f1eecy, harmless
appearing product of the South
from which we make our baby's
dresses, is the principal ingredient
in cannon powder used in the lar
gest caliber guns.
So-called celluloid collars are
made of cotton the same way as any
starched collar. Practically the only
difference is that the nitrOcellulose
collar is stiffened with pyroXylini
also made of cotton, while the other
is stiffened with starch.
The reason tire cement evapOrates
so quickly if exposed to the air is
because it is liquified with ether-a
highly volatile liquid which turns
into vapor with very little encour-
agement.

So far as bulk is concerned, pow
dered wood is the principal ingred-

Varnish is made of oil and the
gum of trees. Most of the gum
comes from forests in the tropics
and is gathered by natives who
make their living by selling it. 1t is
this gum that gives to varnish its
hardness, elasticity and its brilli-
ance.
