PYRAMIDS IN OLD MEXICO Structures Bigger Than Egypt's May Contain Fabulous Wealth That several regiments of soldiers, working unknown to the world for many months, have been uncovering true pyramids, built of huge stone blocks and cement, larger than those of Egypt, is the astonishing news that has lately come from the Republic of Mexico. That these pyramids existed in earth form has long been known to archaeologists. But it was always supposed that they were once great hills of sands, and that centuries ago—long before the time of Cortez, even—they were shaped and trimmed with shovels and spades. Removing the dust of ages past, however, the fact of their construction by human hands is now revealed, and, furthermore, almost indisputable indications have been found that they were the handiwork of Egyptians or the descendants of Egyptians. It is difficult to at once grasp the stupendous significance of this latter theory once it can be proved a fact beyond dispute. Primarily, it will disclose that the Western Continent was discovered centuries and even ages before the date now established by history. But it may go even further than that, and, taken in connection with archaeological finds being unearthed in the Mexican pyramids, it is possible that we are on the very life of the earth itself, and of the ancient races which inhabited it before the dawn of history. Of less importance in its possible bearing on the world facts, but highly interesting in its possibilities, is the belief of many that when the pyramids are opened they will be found to contain treasures of fabulous worth nard damsels were unanimous in wanting to marry men with a sense of humor. No sour-faced melancholy heroes for them. They want to laugh and want the world in general, and their husbands in particular, to laugh with them. That is but a sort of preliminary qualification. The collegians were even more specific in other demands upon their future spouses. Without dissent, they agreed that none will marry a man unless he has brown hair and brown eyes. Hand-some young men of the blonde type might as well apply at Smith College or Bryn Mawr or Wellesley; the brown-eyed darling is the man for the Barnard maiden. Then, again, the future husband of the young woman who wears a 4 1-2 shoe—width not given—must wear a necktie that matches his eyes, must be 6 feet tall, and must have at least $2000 the year, with prospects. Eight of the girls propose to marry men who smoke, but thirty-one think that smoking is perfectly awful. So far as the occupation goes, almost any calling will do. One girl is so liberal as to suggest that she will marry any man but an undertaker. We chronicle this wisdom as part of the history of the times and as information for those who are foolish enough to seek a wife beyond the hallowed precincts of this Eden. On general principles, we hope the girls will get what they want when they want it, but if it be no discourtesy, we might suggest that before they are 35 some of them will probably be willing to marry a man who has green eyes, is 5 feet tall, is an undertaker, and wears a red necktie. SUPERSTITION "We're all superstitious," said Lew Dockstader to the Cincinnati Times-Star. "Ever hear the story of the two negroes who got into an argu- Of less importance in its possible bearing on the world facts, but highly interesting in its possibilities, is the belief of many that when the pyramids are opened they will be found to contain treasures of fabulous worth buried there by the ancient inhabitants of Mexico when these vast piles were erected. Situated only twenty-seven miles from the City of Mexico, the San Juan pyramids, as they are known, long ago aroused the interest of the Mexican government. Desultory investigation at last led to the belief that excavation might uncover something of value to the world and work was begun some time ago. As this has progressed great secrecy has been thrown around what was being done and little actual information has heretofore been allowed to creep out. It is not known however, that sarcophagi, containing human bones, obsidian knives, terra cotta heads and fragments of rare and costly pottery have been uncovered. Also it is asserted by persons having certain knowledge of what is being found that the relics of a prehistoric age now being dug up are positively of Egyptian handiwork. Many of the fragments of pottery and the implements and utensils found are similar to those uncovered along the Nile, while scroll work and ornamentation on every hand is distinctly Egyptian. It is hinted, however, that even more specific proof that the San Juan pyramids were built by Egyptians has come into possession of the Mexican government, but it is being held back for compilation and verification, and assuredly, if this is not now true, such revelations are expected within a very short time. While the group is spoken of as the San Juan pyramids, only two of them are attracting extraordinary attention. These are the pyramids of the Moon and the Sun, latter much the larger of the two. Each of these, it has now been found, is constructed of five gigantic layers of basaltic blocks, cemented together. The pyramid of the Sun covers more than fourteen acres of ground. Present excavations have shown its base to be 761 by 721 feet SUPERSTITION "We're all superstitious," said Lew Dockstader to the Cincinnati Times-Star. "Ever hear the story of the two negroes who got into an argument? One says to the other, 'I bet yo' a dollah that I got the nerve to sit on a tombstone in de graveyard while the clock strikes midnight.' The bet was made, but the other man had to go along to see whether or not the conditions were carried out. On the way to the cemetery the second man fell and broke his wooden leg. But he was so anxious to win that dollar that he took off the leg and hobbled along to the cemetery, one hand on the other negro's shoulder. They seated themselves on a prostrate tombstone. "Do I win that dollah, or do I not?" asked the man who made the proposition, triumphantly. Just then the clock in the church steeple began to strike. From behind a bush near by a sheeted figure advanced upon the negroes. 'What foah are you all distohbin' mah rest?' 'It asked. The negro that bet he wasn't afraid just started for home on the keen jump. The only way out was through a narrow lane, bounded on either side by tall hedges. About half way down the lane the running negro heard a pat-pat just behind him. He could almost feel the hot breath of his pursuer on the back of his neck. A hand reached out and touched him on the coat, and he just doubled his speed. 'Oh, mah goodness, niggah,' said the voice of the one-legged man, 'git outer mah road and yo' can keep yo' ole dollah.'" THE DAYS OF '49 An echo of the good old days during the '49 gold excitement in this state is shown in a novel advertisement of the Union Pacific which is being circulated in the dining cars of that company. It is in the form of a menu card of the old El Dorada hotel at Placerville, showing what the early miners had to eat and what they had to put up for it. The menu was secured from an old copy of the Nevada State Journal. The following copy has been forwarded by John A. Gill, traveling no facilities at present transporting it fromsidewater.

They can While the group is spoken of as the San Juan pyramids, only two of them are attracting extraordinary attention. These are the pyramids of the Moon and the Sun, the latter much larger of the two. Each of these, it has now been found, is constructed of five gigantic layers of basaltic blocks, cemented together. The pyramid of the Sun covers more than fourteen acres of ground. Present excavations have shown its base to be 761 by 721 feet and its limits have not yet been defined by the soldiers who are employed at the work by the government. Half a mile south of the pyramid of the Sun is the pyramid of the Moon. It is much smaller than the former, measuring 511 by 426 feet at the base. On the top of each of the pyramids are the ruins of temples. On the pyramid of the Sun at one time was a gigantic statue of the sun, with faces of solid gold which reflected the rays of that luminary, but it was rolled off by the Spaniards. MARRIAGEABLE MEN TESTS The fair maids of Barnard College, which is unfortunately situated in New York instead of in Richmond, have been voting on the style of the men they propose to marry. This is not the only subject that has received their attention, for they have discovered, by a close canvass, that the average size shoe worn in the college is 4 1-2, and that the average height of the girls is 5 feet 3 inches, but the matrimonial question seems to have aroused the greatest interest. According to the New York Globe, which prints the facts when somebody writes them out for it, the Bar- ANAHEIM GAZETTE OIL FOR WAR VESSELS A factor that is bound to hasten the adoption of oil as fuel by the United States navy is the lack of suitable coal on the Pacific coast for use in war vessels. This fact is now pointed out by Secretary of the Navy Meyer, in a communication recently received by Congressman W. E. Humphrey of Washington. Secretary Meyer declares that none of the Pacific coast coal now available is suitable for use in the navy, as it is deficient in "fixed carbon" and has such comparatively large percentages of combustible, volatile matter, moisture and ash that its use has been impracticable in naval boilers. The navy department, however, according to Meyer, will not abandon the idea of using coal found on this coast, but will keep up the present investigations in the hope that some Pacific coast coal will be found that will end the present necessity for transporting coal from the Atlantic coast coaling stations. In this connection, it is said that the department contemplates further testing of Pacific coast coals next fall in one or more of the large armored cruisers now on the Pacific coast. There is a possibility that a suitable coal will be found in Alaska, Secretary Meyer says, but there are no facilities at present for mining or transporting it from the mines to the tidewater. The secretary declares it is probable that, as the use of oil for marine boilers increases, the supply of fuel for the navy will be more and more drawn from the California oil fields, and at present this kind of fuel is being used in the navy yards at Mare Island and on Puget Sound. In closing his letter Secretary Meyer says: "Were the department compelled to ship coal only in America." POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENTS GEORGE S.

YOUTH AND AGE To middle age, when we have attained to being what the darkies call "settled people," no lessons are more delightful than those derived from youth. And after any slight foreign experiences, how ready youth is to teach; how sure of acquirements, judgment, and taste. At this season of the year the young return from their educational institutions to spend the holidays instructing their parents, and they return full of faith in their mission. How wonderfully decorative they are, too. It is one of nature's nicest adjustments that youth should be beautiful enough to make good all its deficiencies in sense and reason, while age makes good the withered texture and faded colors by a philosophic temper and a sense of humor. Yes, youth treads the earth very proudly as one who masters environment, and instinctively we, who have lived and failed much, fall into the background conscious of being tarnished by overwork. We listen awestruck while they explain world tendencies to us. They look upon us with a certain tender pity, and wonder what interests life can possibly have to offer one who has reached the decrepit limit of 45. Despite this seeming absorption in themselves, these young folk have hardly imagination enough to understand that they themselves supply a reason for being. They can hardly understand no facilities at present for mining or transporting it from the mines to the sidewater. The secretary declares it is probable that, as the use of oil for marine boilers increases, the supply of fuel for the navy will be more and more drawn from the California oil fields, and at present this kind of fuel is being used in the navy yards at Mare Island and on Puget Sound. In closing his letter Secretary Meyer says: "Were the department compelled to ship coal only in American bottoms it would soon be forced practically to abolish the Pacific-fleet or the appropriation for this purpose would be exhausted. The navy department is neither inimical nor even indifferent to the American shipping interests, but it must keep within the law and not exceed the amounts appropriated by congress for specific purposes. As American vessels are available, the department is obliged to accept the proposals submitted by foreign shipowners, without regard to the character or nationality of their crews. J. L.

Despite this seeming absorption in themselves, these young folk have hardly imagination enough to understand that they themselves supply a reason for being. They can hardly understand that we are as deeply interested in what they do and have undone as once we were in our own activities. A young girl who was solicitous as to her mother's power of enduring existence with gray hair and faded charms was much taken aback by this view of the matter; and when her mother assured her that she took more vital interest in her daughter's career than she had ever done in her own because of the ampler experience years had given, the child was quite overawed; but for her own part she hoped to die at 30 because by that time everything interesting would have happened.
