'Hie little village of San Joan
Teotlhuacan, which in the Artec lan
guage meant "City of the Gods," was
In ^ho early days of Aztec history the
scene of extraordinary religious cere
monies. The two pyramids, one dedi
cated to the sun, the other to the
inoon, are known to have been the
tombs in which hundreds of tribal
dignitaries were hurled and excava
tors have exhumed wrought stone con
taining human hones, obsidian knives,
terra cotta heads with broad faces and
: flat Hoses, fragtiftmt-S of rare pottery
i and great numbers of arrowheads. One
of the most recent and most valuable
discoveries was a Jadelte mask of
some past monarch, with the brow
covered with the diadem known to

suiV, a physical force, and when xuffl
Hently multiplied It can he made to
do a heap of dnniagf*.
It. wa? the vibration from the rams'
horn* that threw down the walla of
Jericho. Some people who have never
lizard a Hebrew of the Joxhuan era
blowing a ram's horn have liwn In
clined to doubt the possibility of such
a noise wrecking a city's walla, al
though they might concede it the pow
er to wreck a city's nerves. ?
y tit granting that the Jiuz scientist
<-otild destroy the Woolworth building
by ' vibrating It to death with bass
viols, wouldn't that be a ridiculous
way to go about auch destruction? It
would be so much easier to tear down
Mr. Woolworth's playhouse with crow
bars and picks and sledges that only
a ,1a//. scientist would think of tack-,
ling the Job with musical instruments.
There in much about vibration that
most of uk are Ignorant of. and it Is
for this reason perhaps that some , of
the smart psychists have commenced
to employ the vibratory suggestion in
their own business. Vibrations are al
leged or implied as agencies of men
tal organization, and the tuning of
minds to make their vibrations corre
spond with vibrations from another
quarter is said to be practical.
Thev slang expression, "wouldn't
that Jut you?" is merely a low-brow
way of asserting that one's vibrations
are in collision with the vibrations of
somebody else. ? I>allas News.
Diplomatic Secretary.
Some years ago 1 was private secre
tary to a well known man, and occa
sionally I lunched with the family. It
was in the height of the season, and a
largo week-end party was being enter
falned. I found It necessary to stay to
lunch. The conversation turned to golf.
My employer pronounced the word
"golf;" his wife, ~gof." This started
a not unusual wrangle between the
two, and the guests took sides. Then,
.I s a native of Scotland, the birthplace
of the great game. I was appealed to
by my hostess to settle the dispute,
and more than one beamed in complete
enjoyment of the prcdicniuent in
which I found myself; for, if i com
plied, 1 was bound to offend one or
the other. It was indeed my most em
barrassing moment. Then in a flash
raine an Inspiration, and I breathed in
for I ?aw. a means of escape.
"As you appeal to me as a Scotch
man, you will accept the usual Scotch
|ir<inuiuiittii)ii ? u? t be its decl
sive?" I asked.
"Yes. yes." they both answered.
."Well. then, in Scotland we pro
nounce it 'gowf.' "
And so that Incident passed in the
midst of hearty laughter, in which my
hnst and hostess both joined. ? lix

Restore Old Church Windows.
Gradually, after twy yonrs of pa
tient reassembling work, the medieval
stained glass windows of the oldest
1'uris ehurches, which were removed
from their frames to he placed in
safety during the air raids and bom
bardment of the capital, are being re
stored to the places where they were
Arlgtnally' set up centuries ago. Much
restoration had to he done upon these
priceless relics of the highest period
of ecclesiastical art. The precious
fragments of glass, some of them
stained a deep blue, the secret of pre
paring which has died out entirely,
were occasionally broken in the work
of removal, and the cleverest French
craftsmen in glass work have been
employed In preparing the splendid
and fragile masterpiece* for return to
the ehurehes frotn which they w ere
taken.- From the Continental Kdition

The Reaping Machine.
Although we are accustomed to re
gard reaping by machinery as a modern
jirt, there are records that in Pliny's
time the Uauls used a crude comb
shapcrt affair of knives to strip the
beads from the standing grA'n. Tin*
first real patent on a reaping machine
was granted to Julin Boyce, of Kngland,
in 1790. Richard French and T. J.
Hawkins received the first American
patent rights in 180tt. But it remained
for MeCoriuick. in 1 s:;i . to roaktL
demonstrate the first practical rptld
