WNt^-7 14?84 Tear Up Streets of San Luis Potosi for Silver Citizens Excited by Metal's Return to Favor. Washington. ? Silver's return to pop ularity In the United States has caused great excitement in San Luis Potosi, Mexico. The city Is built on tailings and refuse from near-by mines, and now thrifty citizens are eagerly rip ping up their streets tor the silver In the pavement. ' "San Luis Potosi Is the capital of e 6tate of the same name, situated n^rth of Mexico, D. F. (Mexico City)," says a bulletin from the National Geo graphic society. 'It Is built on a high plateau, over a mile above sea 1avel. The roueh peaks of the Sierra Madre protect it on three sides, and the cli mate Is cool and dry, but never too cold. Boomed, Deserted, Revived. "Wh^n Cortes and his men first pushed their way westward, San Luis Potosi was an Insignificant Indian vil lage. Lured by the promised wealth of the famous Zacatecas mines be yond, the Spaniards paid the village Bcant attention as they passed through. Soon after came Franciscan monks, the mission of San Luis wns founded, and silver and gold were discovered in the San Pedro hills. In the hope that the town might rival Its famous namesake In Hollvla, It was christened Potosi. "This optimism was not unfounded. The mines were rich, but poorly worked. In 1022 the largest mine caved in. San Luis Potosi became a deserted mining camp until years later when new mines were opened. Many of the city's churches and public build ings date from this Seventeenth cen tury era of prosperity. "The original village was In the San Pedro hills, tyelve miles from the modern city. Lack of water caused It to move. Evidently the water sup ply now Is satisfactory, for it has the reputation of being one of the clean est cities In Mexico. Above Its spot less streets rise the domes of its many churches whose bright blue, white, green, and yellow tiles gleam In the sunlight. Source of Spanish Silver. "San Luis Potosi has had little com plaint from its business men. It is the distributing center for a large agri cultural region, and lies at the cross roads of Mexican Ir^fllc. In the old days long mule trains bound north or west met there. Now two railways, the Mexican Central and the Mexican Northern, cross <u this point. It also Is a favorite resort for the people of Mexico, D. F., and will soon be ac cessible to motorists from the United States. A roadf now being Improved, Universe Called Trifle Lopsided New York. ? Dr. Harlow Shupley, director of the Harvard college ob servatory, has confirmed what many persons have suspected ? that the universe Is lopsided. Recent astronomical observa tions have established. Doctor Slmpley said In delivering the an nual James Arthur lecture on "Time and Its Mysteries" -at Now York university that Instead of be ing uniform and evenly distributed in space, the universe actually Is out of balance, galaetlcall.v speaking. There are about 50 per cent more galaxies (clusters of countless stars) on the north side than on the south side of the uni verse. Hut, Doctor Shnpley qualified, Ibis condition exists comparatively close to the earth ? a mere 70,000, 000 light years away. At a dis tance of 'JOO.OOO.OOO light years away, said Doctor Shapley, quoting Dr. Kdwln 1'. Hubble, of Mount Wilson observatory, equality Is re stored. Will Penciled on Board Conveys $10,000 Estate New York. ? A piece of pine board on which nearly thirty-one years ago | Kdwln Roberts, a contractor find build or. penciled brief Instructions t tint his wife, Klizaheth, should receive his es trite, was filed n.i his will in the Rronx Surrogate's court. Mr. Roberts died rebruary 19. The piece of board, six Inches square and three-quarters of an Incli thick, bore only the sentence. "I leave ail I own t? my wife, tOllznheth Rob ertK, after all Just debts are paid," and the signatures of Roberts and t lie wit nesses, "Mrs. II, C. Oarland" and "Lily Roberts," one of bis daughters. Ar thur Hell, the attorney who filed fhe will, explained that Mr. Huberts al ways had brushed aside suggestions of Mrs. (>arland, his neighbor, that he draw up his will. On May 1H, 1JKW, Mrs. (iarland, with Mr, Hell's assistance, drew her own will and took It next door to show it to Mr. Roberts, \ylio was repairing his front porch. "I tell you, you ought to make yours out," she told him. "Oh. very well," Mr. Roberts said, and, picking up a piece of wood, scrib bled tho sentence and the witnesses signed.

D. F. "Silver long has been one of the state's chief sources of wealth. It boasts of having once ranked third In the production of bullion for Spain. In those days silver mining was a laborious process. Tiie ore was taken from deep shafts In leather sacks weighing, when filled, from 100 to 200 pounds. The peons carried the sacks on their backs, with tumplihes around their foreheads, afl they scrambled up notched poles that served for ladders. Flooded mines were often 'pumped' out In the same way. "Usually ore was broken up by hand, and mixed with water, salt, vitriol, and* mercury. Then mules were driven over and across it for hours to com plete the mixing process. When the mixture was submerged In water, the amalgam of silvejr and mercury sank to the bottoii* and could be easily sep arated. This was known as the 'patio' process, and Is still used in certain small mines. In earlier and less hu mane days women and children In stead of mules trampled and mixed the ore although the death rate was atrocious, due to the corrosive effect of the acids used." ' NEW SWIM RECORD Maithew Chrostotskl of tho I'rovl- 1 dence Central high school, who set h ' new world's record In winning the third heat of the 50-yard free style swim In the Penn Athletic club pool In Phlla- | delphla.

New York. ? Yhe parachute Is prac tically as old as aviation Itself. It Is the fruit of the genius of Leonardo da Vinci, who gave to the world the first aeronautical engineering and design. Da Vinci, after establishing a theory of lllght, next made the necessary mathematical computations for a work able parachute. Although his "chute" was square, with four "shroud lines" attached to each corner, it worked at least once. Slg. Fausto Verranzzlo, an architecture student, was taken most ly with the parachute Idea. The other students ? art, engineering and mathe matics ? all preferred the Da Vinci glider models. However, Verranzzlo did have the good Judgment to make his pioneer Jump In his native city, Venice. Making the four shroud lines fast around his waist, he Jumped from the top of one of the churches that bor dered the main canal. What happened to Verranzzlo thereafter history doesn't record. With the death of Da Vinci In 1510 all Interest In flying, parachute jump ing Included, came to a standstill. It wasn't until ballooning became popu lar in Europe, late In the Eighteenth century, that It appeared again. To Andre Jacques Gamerln, the first offi cial aeronaut of France, goes the dis tinction of having made the first para chute jump from an aircraft in flight. Old Lake Near Marsh Bares Water Tragedies Iloricon, Wis. ? Horicon marsh, at one time the site of the Inrgest arti ficial lake In the country, upon which steamers navigated dally, has yielded up a number pf old relics. In the exact center of the marsh, now a game preserve, hits of wreck age have been found which were iden tified with ships scheduled to arrive in port fifty years ago. In one spot parts of a large boiler surrounded by blocks of quarried stone indicate the conclusion of one voyage. Two other vessels are known to have gone down In the lake. One, a scow, sank in July, 1857 when light ning struck It during a hnNMcnne, kill ing three of the crew amP^seriously injuring the remaining thirteen. The other disaster occurred two years la ter when the boiler of the steamer Winer exploded, killing two. He cut loose from a balloon flying over Paris on October 22, 175)7. We have* no record Just why the man should have become Imbued with the Idea that he could land comfortably when and if sufllclent wind-resistance were attached to his body. Hut since he was a well read student It la easy to believe that he had come upon Du Vinci's voluminous notes. Parachuting In America came Into accidental being through a misadven ture of this country's pioneer balloon ist, Capt. John Wise. Captain Wise had been attached to Count Zeppelin's observatory balloon secilon In the Union army. After the close of hos tilities Captain Wise took up exhibi tion ballooning- On one flight his bal loon was caught in a cyclonic twister and had all of the gas literally wrung out of it. As the balloon started to fall the envelope was pushed into the top of the -net by the upward rush of air, where It became, In substance, a parachute. Based on this experience he designed and used the first para chute seen In this country. Travel* 150 Miles to Find Mill Near Home Graitfsburg, Wls.?Frank Anderson, Frederic (Wis;) farmer, recently com pleted a 100-mlle trip in search of a grist mill where he might have a logd of grain ground Into flour.

Peter's question (v. 27 >. From Uirlst s teaching as to the efforts to bring about reconciliation in case of offenses between brethren, be knew at the spirit of forgiveness would be required.

This an *8tonl8h*d peter. je8us - said not till seven times but until seventy times seven," showing that willingness to forgive should bo practically limit less. The Christian should be so filled with the love of Christ that he will forgive whenever being called upon to do so. 3. Christ's principle of forgiveness (vv. 23-35). This principle Is Il lustrated by the story of the two cred itors. a. The gracious creditor (vv. 23-27). The king in this parable represents Cod. I he servant who is greatly In debt represents the sinner? any sinner, every sinner, you and me. We were hope lessly in debt to God. Ten million tnle\ts are equal to about $12,000,000. 7 meet this obligation would be an utu Impossibilty. This man's ple? f?? time, promising to pay all. resembles man's vain Imaginations that he can pay his debt to Cod; that by his future good works he can atone for his past grievous sins. The law says. "Pay all." but Christ forgives all. p.y the Justice of Cod's law we are hopelessly doomed. By the grace of Cod we are freely pardoned. b. The cruel creditor (vv. 28-38) The man who was forgiven so much found the man who owed him a small sum. about $17. He shut his ears to the man's entreaty to bo patient with him, flew af his throat and cruelly put him Into prison. The great mercy shown him did not touch bis heart, so he refused to be merciful. ICvery one who Is unforgiving shows that the forgiveness of God In Jesus Christ has not been experienced. Reing set free from so great a debt ns our sins against God, we should make Cod's art of unlimited forgiveness toward ns a standard of unlimited forgiveness toward others. In dealing with others we should always keep before us (1). That w,r constant I v need the forgiveness of God. When we pray, "forgive ns our debts ns we forgive our debtors." let ns be sure that we have put away all thought of things held against others (2). There Is a day of judgment com ing and at that day we sluill be treated as we treat others. No mercy Will be shown to those who have not shown mercy. God's Action toward us should be the standard of our action toward others. What Un ion Mf * n ? Union with God in Christ wraps up every blessing. You cannot go be^ yond this. It In the summnm horium. containing all, and more tlmn all, that heart can desire, or Imnginntion can fathom. Th? Glory of Onr Chri?t We can never add anything to the honor or glory of Jesus' name. All tho works of the holiest people of God since time began and through all ftternlty can never add to his Klory. All Meteors Cold When They Reach the Earth Meteor Authorities, duo no doubt to the readiness of ordinary folk to beJievr practically anything of stones from tbe sky, are among the most skeptical people on earth. Recently we reported their disbelief In yarns about near-collisions between mete ors and airplanes. Now It must be revealed that they also put no cre dence In yarns about houses, hay stacks or other objects being set afire by them. Dr. Charles C. Wylle of the Uni versity of Iowa, writing In Popular Astronomy, says there has never been an authenticated Instance of a meteor setting fire to anything. More over, the popular Idea that meteors are Incandescent when they strike the earth Is likewise an error. Their surfaces may reach Incandescence for a few seconds high up In the atmosphere, but they are soon slowed down so much that passage through the air cools rather than heats them. They stop glowing at an altitude of several miles, and are cold when they strike. ? Literary Digest. Your local dealer carries Ferry's Pure Bred Vegetable Seeds. Now only 5 cents a package. Adv.
