UNCLE RAYS CORNER Railway Miles High Crosses Andes

The olden Inca Indians used to
mine gold, and from it they made
plates, images and ornaments. The
Spaniards took as much of this gold
as they could obtain, but there are
stories of Inca gold" still lying
buried in various places.
One story tells us that Lake
Guatavita, in Colombia, was used
as a place to throw golden images
as offerings to Indian gods. This
lake now has a dry bed, in the
Andes miles above sea level. Those
who wish to look for gold can dig
down into mud 80 feet deep, the bed
of the old lake bottom.

thrown up by volcanoes. Some OF
these volcanoes are extinct and have
not been known to erupt since white
men first reached South America.
Other volcanoes in the Andes are
still active. When they break loose,
an earthquake may be felt at the
same time.
With such high mountains. we
may expect snow the year around.
There are dozens of peaks in the
Andes which are covered with snow
at all times Even on the Equator,
we find mountains with snow and
ice.
Some parts of the Andes have
glaciers. The largest ones are in
Southern Chile. Certain of Chiles
glaciers have worked down valleys
and have cut the soil to points
below sea level. In that way they
have produced fiords, like those of
Norway, along the ocean coast.
The meaning of the name Andes"
is not clearly known, but it may
have come from copper" There is

Answer TO Yesterdays Puzzle

If YOU wish to find the highest
railway IN the world, you can go to
South America. The line runs across
the Andes Mountains, and at one
point is almost exactly miles above
sea level
The railway of which I speak IS
n Peru. 1t passes small Indian viii
lages, and at the stations you are
almost sure to find Indian women
selling fruits and other products.
Sometimes they offer watermelons
and Strawberries to travellers.
~ The Andes Mountains are the tall
est in the New World, They run
from the Republic of Panama clear
down to Cape Horn, at the southern
end of South America.
Some peaks of the Andes are more
than q miles high. One peak, Mount
Aconcagua, has a height of a bit
more than Az miles. 1t you want
to find higher peaks than that, there
Is only one place you can go, and
that is to the Himalaya Mountains
in Southern Asia
The tall peaks of the Andes have
been built up by lava and ashes

Take My Word for 1t
BY FRANK COLBY.
Surprise Word of the Week

The word RESPITE, meaning "a
delay, an interval Of rest" is al
most universally miSpronounced
"ree-S SPITE" Without doubt, this
is caused by the similarity to the
word DESPITE pronounced dee
SPITE'D. But, as this column has
repeatedly proved the spelling OF
a word will seldom guide us to the
correct pronunciation. Most Of our
pronouncing errors are the result
of trying to pronounce words by
their spelling.
Respite is accented on the first
syllable, which rhymes with less,
mess. The second syllable rhymes
with bit, fit, hit, thus:
RESS-pit.
Capitals indicate syllables to be
accented0
