IN CITY OF INCAS

Ancient People Created Wonders” of Architecture. , i ■ Ruins Found In South America Disclose Amazing Facts Regarding Vanished Civilization. Amazing and absorbing interesting facts concerning the builders of the wonderful city of Machu Picchu, the ancient Incas, are given in a communication to the National Geographic society by Prof. -Hiram Bingham, director of the Peruvian expedition of 1915, sent out by the society and Yale university. The ruins of this great center of a vanished civilization was discovered by Professor Bingham and his party after they had been lost for generations. The buildings of Machu Picchu, writes Professor Bingham, had an elaborate system of highways throughout this little known and almost unexplored country, which lies between the Urubamba valley and the Apurimao. The region was densely populated, and Machu Picchu was Its capital.

Lack of timber, the prevalence of heavy rains during part of the year, and the ease with which stone might be procured early -led to the development of stone as a building material. Strength and permanence were secured through the keying together of irregular blocks. The upper and lower surfaces of these stones were frequently convexed or concaved, the convexity of one stone approximating the concavity of the adjoining stone. In constructing their walls the pure arch, was not evolved. Their pottery Is marked by simple and graceful lines, bearing a striking resemblance to that of ancient Greece and resembling in Its simplicity and utility some of the modern vessels at presentiff use in French kitchens. Owing to the extreme moisture of the climate, the remains of cloth are very few; but we know that the Inca people actually did arrive at a high degree of skill In the manufacture of textiles through their ability to procure the wool of the alpaca.

Their surgical tools were probably of bronze or obsidian. Surgery appears tohave been practiced to a Considerable degree, if one may judge by the large number of trepanned skulls that we have found ip caves within a radius of 25 miles of Machu Picchu. In some cases the cause of the operation appears r to have been disease; in others evidence leads us to the conclusion that the operation was Intended to relieve pain caused by wounds received in battle. Since the favorite weapon of the Inca peoples was the sling, and clubs were common, it Is not surprising that the skulls of many soldiers should have needed the relief that came fron» skillful trepanning. In the art of war they exhibit skill In defense rather than offense. Fortifications constructed with salients and re-entrant angles so as to admit of lateral fire were not uncommon.

They had no machinery and did not use iron or steel. They used levers and Inclined planes. They also made huge fiber ropes, out of which they constructed long suspension bridges. They thought nothing of handling blocks of stone weighing five tons and upwards. Indeed, there are numerous stones that weigh over fifteen tons, which were fitted together with a skill that has amazed all beholders. Most unfortunate • was the failure of the Incas to develop an alphabet, or even some form of hieroglyphic similar to that which existed in southern Mexico and Central America. It is remarkable indeed that a people who succeeded in equaling the ancient Egyptians in architecture, engineering, pottery and textiles should have fallen so far behind in the development of a written language. This is the most serious obstacle that stands in the way of our learning more of that enterprising race.

She • was chewing gum vigorously and audibly. She was a witness in court “What is your name?” asked the lawyer. “Minnie.” “Minnie what?” “Minnie Moore.” “Minnie, tell the jury all you know about the character of the defendant?” But, after much discussion by lawyers, the question was overruled and the following asked: “Were you at your home lest fall on election day?" J The witness, however, angrily shook her fist in the face of the dignlfled jury’. “Now, you all jest set steady. I’m not a-goln’ to hurry about this. I’m a-goln* to answer that first question before I say one word about that last one.”

“I say, old fellow,” confided the bachelor to his friend, !Tm> going to be married, and for the life of me I don’t know what to call my 'wife's mother. ‘Mother-in-law’ is too big a mouthful, and ‘mother’ would be too ridiculous. Tell me; what do you do?” “Let me see. Oh, yes, I remember. The first year I called her./Say.’” “Well, and after that?” ' “Oh, after that tt was easy—we both called her grandmamma.”—Harper’s Ma ge si no-

MIDDLE AGE IS BEST PERIOD

Man Need Not Be Too Old at Forty If He Will Make Himself Mor* Usdful as He Orows Older. ' -L-22?—' —* too old at forty! That Is a wail that always goes up throughout the country. But a writer in the Amerlcan Magazine says it could be disregarded If people made themselves more useful as they grew older; He ; wrl.tes: “For man to be too old at forty is , not natural. Scientists tell us that j the life periods of man compare with the life history of the race. “In most businesses and professions the period of mature manhood is commonly the period of great skllL The body still retains its elasticity; i previous training and acquired good ' habits count in daily work; expert- • ence now begins to return dividends. The individual develops common sense, conservation and deliberation. He is less likely to be swayed by the primitive emotions of younger life. Well-laid plans mature; returns from previous Investments in time, labor | and money begin to come in. “But it is during this period that the competition of newer workers in . the same field begins to be felt. The , apprentices in the trades, and stu- i dents in the schools begin to get -a , foothold in competition with the es- I tablished worker. And —what is of vital importance —the beginner is willing to work much cheaper than the experienced man. Thus, experience must guard against the under-cut. "It Is In this period that the greatest displacement occurs. The unprogressive, the dissipated, the timorous, are pushed aside to make room for those having more enterprise.”

The Reader.

The gift of reading is not very common nor very generally understood. It consists, first of all, in a vast intellectual endowment —a free, grace, I find I must call it —by which a man, risps to understand that he is not punctually right, nor those from whom he differs absolutely wrong. He may hold dogmas, he may hold them passionately; and he may know that others hold them but coldly, or hold them differently, or hold them not at all. Well, if he has the gift of reading, these others will be full of meat for him. They will see the other side of propositions and the other side of virtues. He need not change his dogma for that, he may change his reading of that dogma, and he must supplement and correct his deductions from it. A human truth, which is always very much a lie, hides as much of life as it displays. It is men who hold another truth, or as it seems to us, perhaps, a dangerous lie, who can extend our restricted field of knowledge, and rouse our drowsy consciences. Something that seems quite new, or that seems insolently false or dangerous, is the test of a reader.' If he tries to see what it means, what truth excuses it, he has the gift, and let him read. If he is hurt or offended, or exclaims upon his author’s folly, he had better take to, the dally papers ; he will never be a reader. —Robert Louis Stevenson.

Seeking Permission.

Old John Gargoyle lived only for his garden. It was to him what a growing son is to other men. At the end of It stood a telephone post, antWhe other morning Gargoyle watched with feelings dt horror a telephone mechanic climb his back wall. He descended Into the garden, bringing with him about a dozen loose bricks, and fell full length into a bed of sweet peas. He picked himself up, dragged a heavy ladder across a patch of lettuce and dropped it into a cucumber frame. Then he took a short cut, in his hobnailed boots, across some vacant beds where many precious bulbs were interned. Finally, after slipping over a clump of priceless roses, he appeared under the dining-room window,- where Gargoyle stood in speechless fury. " ’Scuse me, sir,” he remarked, “but the telephone people are very particular about us trespassing on private ground where we have fixtures. Can I have permission to enter your garden, sir?"

A Financier.

Father gave George and Pauline each a quarter with stipulation that the money should not be spent foolishly. When George arrived home that evening with a couple of tops, a sack of "comboes,” a few “immies,” a box of paint, some candy and a squirt gun, his father took him to task. “George, didn’t I tell you very plainly that you were not to spend your money foolishly?” “Yes, dad, but I didn’t. See, here’s my quarter.” And George displayed his money. “Great Scott I How did you come by these things, then? You didn’t steal them, I hope.” ■ “ ’Course not, dad,” answered George, reassuringly, “you see, I Just spent sister’s quarter.”—lndianapolis Star.

'Ow Much?

London children get some quaint views of life. An instance of this recently occurred in an East End Sunday school, where the teacher was talking about Solomon and his wisdom. “When the Queen of Sheba came and laid Jewels and fine raiment before Solomon what did he say?” she asked presently.- ~ One small girl who had evidently had experience in <such matters promptly replied: ; **Ow much d’yer want for the lotY*
