Talleyrarad and Burr

After James Buchanan gave up his
post as minister to Russia in 1888 he
made brief sojourn at Paris before
returning to America. In the French
capital he was introduced to the IA
nous Prince Talleyrand, then in his
eighty fourth year. The aged diplo-
mat, after asking a number Of ques-
tons about America, inquired particu-
larly about the family Of Alexander
Hamilton. He told Buchanan that
when he was French minister for for
eign affairs Aaron Burr came to Paris
and sent his card to him. He re-
turned the card with a message that
he had the portrait of Hamilton in
his parlor. 1t will be recalled that
when Talleyrand was an exile from
France he came to America where he
met Hamilton. AT that time he came
to the conclusion that Hamilton was
the greatest of all the Americans he
had the pleasure of meeting.

Pyramid Built Eight
Thousand Years Ago

Perhaps the Oldest monument In
America Is Cuicuilco Injecting Place for
Singing and Dancing), three-tier pyr-
amid, which is only half an hour by
motor from Mexico City. Prof. Byron
Cummings of the University of Ari-
IONA recently undertook the excava-
ton of this mound at the request Of
Dr. Manuel Gamio and with the assist
ance of the Mexican government. The
original pyramid was truncated cone
412 feet in diameter and so feet In
height surmounted by dancing plat
form and an altar in the shape Of a
horseshoe It was built at period
when men knew only how to heap one
stone upon another The inclination
Of the pile at an angle of 45 degrees
and the weight of the blocks Of an
desite and basalt have preserved the
monument amazingly.
When the digging began the mound
lay buried beneath fifteen to seven
teen feet of sand, clay and rock, under
which again was deep layer Of lava,
covering the platform at the summit
to depth of eighteen feet. The erup-
ton Of the volcano Ajusco in some for
gotten era served not only to preserve
this ancient monument but to date 1t.
The Padragal, flow Of lava some fif-
teen miles long and three miles wide.
which occurred in this neighborhood
and which is declared by biologists to
be 1000 years old, is not to be found on
Cuicuilco, but rather lava from an un-
questionably earlier flow. Doctor Cum
mings believes that the mound was
reared by Americans who lived at
least 5000 years ago. On reaching the
summit of this mountain, made by the
labor of primitive man, one finds the
ancient altar of rough, unchiseled
stones, calling up a vision of a circle
of naked, hairy savages sQuatting,
with their bodies swaying to the
rhythm of their tuneless hymns of wor-
ship.-Martha r. Allen in Current His

Odd Maze of Words
Applied to Costume

Near the close Of the Eighteenth
century, in France, some mysterious,
semi-poetical name was bestowed on
every kind of dress fabric, trimming
and cut. The following description Of
the costume Of a famous actress-cour-
tesan is an example:
"She was attired in a robe of stifled
signs, adorned with superfluous re-
grets, the point edged with perfect
candor, trimmed with indiscreet COM
plants. She wore ribbons of marked
attentions, and shoes Of the color of
the queens hair Marie Antoinette's)
embroidered with diamonds in treach.
erous stripes. Above her curls of ele-
waited sentiments was head-dress of
certain conquest, trimmed with tickle
feathers, while over her shoulders fell
an Absalom tress Of momentary agi.
tation."
All that reads like gibberish today
yet 1t was perfectly understood by the
great ladies of 1709.-Detroit News.

Impaired Vision No
Handicap to Genius

Strangely enough one of the worlds
great astronomers had such poor sight
that he could not more than see the
stars. He was John Kepler, a. Ger
man, whose fame sprang from the dis
covery Of these three astronomical
laws:
That all the planets travel around
the sun in elliptical orbits, with the
sun at one of the foci.
That the radius sector joining each
planet with the sun traverses equal
areas of the plane Of orbit in equal
periods of time.
That the square Of the time Of revo-
luton of each planet around the sun
Is proportional to the cube Of the mean
distance from that luminary.
To overcome the handicap Of i'm
paired vision, he obtained the services
Of Tycho Brahe, who was not great

Crude Water Heaters
Used BY Old Romans

Even so generally used and useful
thing as hot water in generous guam
titles is q development Of very mod
ern times. For thousands Of years
primitive, 1aborious methods were the
only means for having hot water. This
condition was but little improved up to
less than a generation ago.
The first water heater known dates
back some 1000 years. This was the
"ahenum" Of the Romans, a crude
bronze kettle with a handle for swing
ing over an open fire. The "focolus,"
an apparently later device, was
metal container into which hot stones
were put to heat the water surround
ing them. This seems to have been the
best water heater the early Romans
were able to devise.
During the Elizabethan age In Eng
land the people were VIGOROUSLY I'M
washed. Perhaps 1t was because the
teakettle was their only source Of hot
water supply. In 1909, when gas for
fuel and light became public utility,
the desire and need for hot water be-
came easier to fill. With the develop
ment Of the gas stove, hot water began
to flow more freely.

Oriental Tales

Every ancient nation has had its
myths and epics Of heroes bold. The
East has given us many such tales
from Its imaginative writer's. The
greatest known collection of these
mythical stories is the arabian
Nights OF similar character. but
less fascinating, is the "Epic Of Kings"
from the writings of the Persian poet
Firdusi, who, at the command Of his
sovereign, rendered stories of the
deeds of Persian kings into verse.
There are stories Of shahs, beasts,
dragons, noble warriors, and kings
who reigned thousand years. The
style of the translation is poetical and
also biblical; in fact, for narratives of
this type, somewhat ponderous and
tedious. The stories are hidden be.
meath burden of language. However,
the matter is delightful and the IL
Illustrations, which were furnished by
Wilfred Jones, are truly Oriental in
brilliance and form.

Morocco a Safe Country

The days Of roughing 1t, exploration,
freedom Of action, are gone-as far as
Morocco is concerned. Fifteen years
ago a man could take a pack outfit
and bunch of natives and go wher-
ever fancy led. No more; the French
and Spanish are in control, says Ad-
venture Magazine.
Morocco is not, nor ever has been,
dangerous to foreigner who attends
to his own business and doesn't act
like fool toward the natives. One
can't insult a man in America with
out taking a chance Of getting licked
or killed for it. The same applies in
Morocco and everywhere else. There
has never been an "open season" on
foreigners. All that wild news Of the
last 20 years has been European
propadanda intended to warrant for
eign control Of the country.
