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

New York. ? Dr. Harlow Shupley,
director of the Harvard college ob

many persons have suspected ?
that the universe Is lopsided.
Recent astronomical observa

Slmpley said In delivering the an
nual James Arthur lecture on
"Time and Its Mysteries" -at Now

ing uniform and evenly distributed

Is out of balance, galaetlcall.v

"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." '

First 'Chute Leap in 16tli Century
Leonardo da Vinci Records
Jump From Church.
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.

1. 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. The rabbis taught that one
two or even three offenses should be
forgiven but the fourth should be pun

Inquired. "Till seven times?" showing
his readiness to forgive his brethren
not three times merely but twice three
times and a little over.
2. Jesus' answer (v. 22). 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

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.
