The next interesting point is
MlStl, the giant mountain peak
that dominates the country
around Arequipa.
The volcano. snow-crested and
towering 10000 feet, stands SEN
tlnel over beautiful Arequipa,
Peruvian town that has become
extremely popular with American
and British travellers.
Arequipa is a striking blend of
the modern and the ancient, of
old Spanish houses, of palaces,
rich with carvings and stone work,
OF graceful colonnades leading
into hidden palm-Hned courts.

streets to tell the story of prog-

Near Arequipa is a picturesque
resort, Yura, one of the most
noted mineral springs of Peru and
a great favorite with the Peru

Now come Senator William H,
King CD of Utah, and Senator
Royal S. Copeland Cd of New
York, and suggest that the coun-
try call halt. They don't want
to quit being Senators of course,
but they want to start in and
repeal some of the laws they
have passed.
Senator King. a former Judge
and barrister of no mean repute,
broached the idea. Said he:
"A number of years ago 1
made some inquiry with a view
Of ascertaining the number of
laws upon the Federal and
State statute books. 1t do not
now recall the number, but
they fill many volumes and
total tens of thousands-I re-
peat that there has been a
deIuge of legislation to the dis
advantage of the people.
"It is my opinion that we
could render an important serv-
ice to the country if Congress
would devote a part of the next
session to an examination of
existing laws with a view to re-
pealing many of them"
Senator Copeland took him up
81 will join the Senator any
time when he makes a motion
to have an entire session of
the Congress devoted to the
repeal of laws. We could rem
der no greater service to the
country, in my judgment, than
to have such session as that"
Imagine what would happen if
Congress put the machine in re
verse. First, the Supreme Court
could take a couple of years va
cation. That is, unless they
would reverse themselves too. and
let the minority decisions decide
the cases.
Second. there would be a scene
something like this: The President
would get his cabinet together and
look over the laws and say:
"NOw, 1 think that is a good
one"
Immediately he would put big

as if they'd done Something Big
just because Fate Socked them
one in the jaw? Why should
they demand such a hand, when
suffering befalls us all? Each

there's plenty to know.
But no one has a copyright

there is no loss that cannot be

NOT REALLY SAD
But many publicity-craving
souls refuse to bear anything in
silence. Rather, they use grief as
though it were a Colt AUTOMATIC,
holding you up ruthlesSly with
the vicious, black barrel of their

forthwith branded as a heartleSS

INCA RUINS

New thoroughfareS are being
built in many countries. all of
them designed to link up impor-
tant centers and to expedite the
movement of travel and trade.
The Cape to cairo Road is fast
opening up the Dark Continent
and making the interior of Africa
accessible to the tourist.
And now we have the Lima High
way which will run to Arequipa
and open up a vast archaeological
area to the traveller.
1t is interesting to find that the
new road will in many places fol
low the old Inca trail along which
the IncaS carted their treasure or
hurried troops when war alarms
rang. The ruins of the ancient
roads reveal a marvellous skill.
SUN TEMPLE
But we are concerned with the
new Lima Arequipa Highway, so
We'll take a hurried trip along the
new road.
Leaving Lima, we pass through
gentle country, sky-blue lakes, rich,
green wales topped by SnoW-capped
glaciers, and so we come to the
ruins by Chincha and Pisco.
The Sun Temple of Pachacamac,
Tambo de Mora and other spots
bid us tarry.
The Sun Temple of Pachaca-
mac is well worth a survey. The
ancient Inca-built shrine was
once a mecca for thousands of
pilgrims who worshipped in the
temple and lived in two adjacent
villages now in ruins.

Quite amazing has been the
flow of confession by famous in
dustrialists, writer's, actors, finan-
ciers, professional men and other
articulate and powerful persons at
the Stockbridge meeting.
A former general of the United
States Army tells of such sub
servience to drink that, returning
home. he would first toss in a
bouquet of flowers in the door, to
learn whether it would be expedl-
ent to enter. A Canadian indus
trialist tells of having broken a

sion to BuchmaniSm, enabling him
to make both sides see the light.

Germany in the Fourteenth cen

Jonathan Edwards. who dangled
frightened souls over the bottom
less pit, was its first great ex-
ponent in America. His sermons,
such as Sinners in the Hands of
an Angry God" and THE Eternity
of He'll Torments," threw his
hearers into convulsions of fear.
WAVES OF REVEALS
Afterward came The Marvellous
Whitefield" from England. His
admonitions we're gentler. but
amazingly hypnotic. On one oc.

Franklin toss his last copper into
the collection box.
Pomeroy Tucker and the Ten

school, laShing sinners to repent.
In the years between 1859 and
1718, the Colonies were swept by
five great waves of revivals,
started by an eloquent and at
times frenzied preacher named
Stoddard. Edwards first sermon
was preached in 1874. The back
woods revivalS, sometimes with In
dians and wild beasts lurking in
the woods, took on the same hell
fire overtoneS.
There was, in those days, an i'm
plicit belief in the literal flames
of hell, and the evangelists were
able to stir terrorS to move even
the most sodden rum-pot.
Old Peter Cartwright, gouging
and upper-cutting the devil down
in Logan county, Kentucky, his
toric feudist territory, was the
master of strange, impelling hyp-
motto powers. His congregations
usually were prostrate after his
harangue, Hopping like fishes on
dry land, or seized with hySterical
laughter which lasted off and
on for weeks. He was credited
with cutting down the population
of hell by many thousands.
Along came Sam. Jones, Sam
Small, Dwight L. Moody, T. De-
Witt Talmadge, Elijah Dowie,
Billy Sunday, Aimee Semple Nc
Pherson and many others.
Their appeal was mostly in ru-

And, in contradiction Of popular
ideas, the inbreeding forced on the
islanders by circumstance actually re-
suited in a surprising reproductive
vigor, he added. From 1890, when
the colony was established, the popu-
Iation more than doubled in the sue

18 years, doubled again in the next
81 years, and almost doubled again
in the succeeding 20 years.
BY 1884 the six mutineers who lived
long enough to have children had

Pitcairn and Norfolk Island and an
additional 200 who have wandered
away, DR.. Shapiro pointed out, term

PITCAIRN COLONY

Cousin Marriages Studied
by Biologist, Who
Writes Book.
\ the Associated Press.

CHe hSooC1hIeu
aThe men of H. M. s. Bounty, VINO
,nutinied in 1889 an destaolsneo
colony in 1870 on lonely Pitcairn Is
land in the South Pacific, have pro-
vided new scientific evidence that close
inbreeding does not necessarily cause
a decline in physical and mental
yigor of offspring.
DR.. Harry l.. Shapiro, BIOLOGIST
who made an intensive study OF the
island and its inhabitants, has COM
pleted a book on his findings Wnlcn
tends to disprove the popular idea
that cousin marriages are biologic-
ally harmful.
Accurate and complete records OF
marriages, births and deaths have
been kept by the islanders almost
from the day when Christian, Young,
Mills, Mccoy. Quintal and Adams and
the nine polynesian women who went
with them from Tahiti landed on
Pitcairn. Dr. Shapiro declared.
The result is the most extensive rec
ord of a human experiment in cross
mating between two races and the
resulting close inbreeding through six
generations, which has ever been COM
piled, according to geneticists of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, who reviewed the material.
Seventh Generation Healthy.
Pictures of the healthy children Of
the sixth and seventh generation were
declared to be almost sufficient in
themselves to prove DR.. Shapiro's
point.
Despite the restricted ancestry OF
these children, with frequent cousin,
nephew-aunt, and niece-uncle mar
riaRes, 1.-The islanders are robust and
healthy" he declared. There medi-
cal record is good, with no evidence OF
degenerative diseases peculiar to them.
Abnormalities of physical structure
are practically non-existent on
Pitcairn"
While a decline in the birth rate in
recent years might plauSibly be at
tributed to the close inbreeding,
"other causes might more plausibly be
evoked to explain it," he added.
The only general defect attributable
to inbreeding was degeneration in
the teeth of the people, but similar
degeneration might be found among
other racial groups who had not
been forced to mate so closely.

1884 ACCIDENT
 BASIS OF SUIT
State Supreme Court of. Errors to Decide on
 MiddletOWn Case

An accident which took place ira this city late in 1884 is the basis of case now being decided by the state supreme court of errors. A decision by Judge John Richards Booth held that Rev. John J. Kelly of Middletown was not operating Q car with needless and reckless dis- regard of the rights of his guests in an automobile.
 The case against Father Kelly and Mrs. Mary E. Gibbons of Hartford was brought by Michael Faraci of Middletown. A jury in Middlesex county court gave him an award of $l,400, but Judge Booth set aside the verdict. The case was then ar,- pealed to the state supreme court, before which tribunal 1t was argued this week.
 A car owned by Mrs. Gibbons wan being operated in this city by Fath- CT Kelly at II p. m. on the night of Dec. l9, 1884. The night was foggy and the car crashed into 'A concrete post. Faraci, a passenger. suffered Q fractured arm and other injuries.
 Tn his decision, Judge Booth held that Father Kelly was negligent but that he was not guilty of dis- regard for the rights of his pas- sengers. He consequently set aside the jury verdict in favor of the plaintiff.
 The supreme court decision on the appeal will not be made for several weeks.
