Old Map of South America.
Claude Vautin , an English mining
engineer , who has been prospecting in
Peru , returned the other day on the
steamship Zacapa. Besides looking
rafter raining property , he has beer
collecting interesting antiquities ol
the country.
One of the most interesting things
: he brings back with him is a map ol
'South America made by the Jesuits in
1592. It gives an outline of the land
.as far north as Cuba and is apparent
ly accurate. Its purpose is evidently
plain , for every missionary station In
the country at that time is indicated
on the map , and the line of travel
necessary to reach them is marked
out. This map was obtained by Mr.
"CVautin at Puno , Peru.
Another interesting collection he
ibrought back is the death masks of
the Incas. These were hammered out
of metal and placed over the faces of
.the dead. Three of these obtained by
.Mr. Vautin are of sheet gold.

Dr. Eugene Fuller , president of the
.American Urological association , said
-at a dinner in New York , apropos of
Independence day :
"We must all try to be as truthful as
George Washington was. I am afraid
we have not , of late years , upheld the
a-eputation for truthfulness that George
Washington gave us. I am afraid
that we have published to the world ,
through our yellow press and by other
. means , a good many tall stories.
"Thus an English teacher once said
to a pupil :
"What is a miracle ? '
' "Please , sir , ' the little pupil an-
.swered , 'it's something that happens
dn America. ' "
Eat for the Fun of It.
According to Mr. Herbert W. Fisher
in World's Work food is of no use to
-us unless we enjoy it. Mr. Fisher does
not , however , recommend us to be
igluttons. He says the less we eat the
more pleasure we shall get. The prin
ciple is that if we eat little we shall
taste much. And the taste of food ,
not the amount , is , after all , the lure
of it.

Central American Jungle Is Be

Greatest Wonder Excavated Thus
Far Is 20-Ton "Stone Turtle , "
Unique In History of Archaeo
logical Discoveries.
Los Angeles. Charles F. Lummls
has gathered his young son under
his wing and sailed for Central Amer
ica , to pursue Important investiga
tions for the Southwest museum , of
Los Angeles , the creature of his un
tiring labor. The Southwest museum ,
for which material has been in
course of accumulation for a num
ber of years , is destined to be one
of the greatest attractions In south
ern California. Its collection is made
up of relics of prehistoric civiliza
tions , mainly gathered from New
Mexico , Colorado and Utah. Its offi
cers are rejoicing In the opening of
new fields of exploration and at the
prospect of the acquisition of relics
from Guatemala A fund of about
$70,000 is In hand for the construc
tion of a suitable home.
The departure of Lummls was de
layed until he declared he must hur
ry away to get in his work "before
the bottom of the sky falls out In
that land of Quetzal , where the an
nual rainfall is from eight to ten
feet. "
He was accompanied by his 11-
year-old son Quimu , who in coming
years Is expected to make his mark
In the scientific world , through his
explorations. Lummis Is also one of
the board of managers of the Amer
ican School of Archaeology , which
holds annual "meetings" in different
fields of research , and Quimu , since
a mere baby , has been his insepar
able companion at these gatherings.
The boy is a great pal with the In
dians , and it is said that none sur
pass his skill and daring in scaling
ticklish cliffs. The gathering is this
year being held at Quirlgua.
Quirigua is In northwest Guate
mala , where much of the country is
owned by the United Fruit company ,
sometimes spoken of as the banana
trust , and through his company the
archaeological association has se
cured concessions on the ruins of the
most marvelous of ancient cities of
Central America , Under the direc
tion of Edgar L. Hewitt , of Washing
ton , extensive excavations have been
made. Mr. Lummis will soon be
among the staff of experts and will
have an Important part in the first
important examination ever made of
these ruins. In a letter Professor
Hewitt says :
"I only wish you could have seen
ANCIENTS
Quirlgua before we began to trans
form it from an Impenetrable jungle
Into a beautiful archaeological park.
We have completed the survey , set
ting apart 80 acres , and have made
a complete plan for landscaping the
park. The work is now half done. "
A number of stelae , or monoliths ,
up to 30 feet high and 4 to 6 feet at
the base , elaborately carved in high
relief , have been uncovered.
The greatest wonder excavated
thus far is the 20-ton "stone turtle , "
unique in the history of archaeologi
cal discoveries. It is not the Idea of
the explorers to bring away these
mammoth relics , but to clear away
the mass of vegetation , accumulated
through ages , and make Quirlgua a
wonder center for scientists of the
world.

MONKEYS CATCH COLD EASILY
Dr. Chalmers Mitchell of London Sayr
Animals Are Quite Susceptible
to Human Ailments.
Kansas City , Mo. Monkeys are just
as susceptible to colds and tuberculo
sis as human beings , and often catch
colds from the people who come to
watch their antics , according to Dr.
Chalmers Mitchell , secretary of the
Zoological coclety of London , who
passed through the union station of
Kansas City on his way to the Philip
pine islands.
"Cold weather la bad for animals ,
and for monkeys , who are nearest to
man species , especially , " said Dr.
Mitchell. "During the recent cold spell
In London the worst April for 14
years there was no serious mortality
among the animals , but I expect they-
will feel the results of the severe
weather later on. Their constitutions
will naive been weakened , and there
may be many deaths.
"Damp , not cold , Is the monkey's
enemy. Consumption Is their disease
in captivity , largely because they are
living In community , arid one tubercu
losis monkey may Infect the others.
Monkeys , being nearly allied to man ,
catch man's diseases.
"I wouldn't say that a lion couldn't
catch a cold from a man , but I should
say It would be unlikely. A monkey ,
on the other hand , would be easily In
fected , as would crocodiles if they
were exposed properly. "

John Schaack Sees Folly of Overwork
When Too Late Says Take Vaca
tions Often and Make Them
All Long Ones.
Chicago. John M. Schaack , for 20
years one of the most prominent
brokers In La Salle street , has gone
blind. This became known recently
when after months of treatment with
noted specialists of America and Eu
rope he appeared on the board of
trade floor absolutely sightless.
Within a few days he will leave for
the east , where he will rest for the
summer at some mountain resort and
take further treatment in the hope
that his sight may be restored.
The cause of the affliction was a se
rious breakdown , which he suffered
several months ago.
The other day Mr. Schaack traded
as usual In the offices of Bartlett &
Co. He declared that if the trad-
REVEALS SECRET OF WOMAN
Scientist Telia Why She Can Defy
Cold In Decollete Special Layer
of Fat Acquired.
London. Why can apparently frag
ile women wear pneumonia blouses in
the arctic springs of the British Isles ?
Why can they do these things and
wear an evening costume which would
be fatal to the majority of men. and
yet suffer no harm ?
These are questions that have puz
zled the Daily Mirror. To solve them
it applied to "an experienced doctor
who has studied the subject. " He had
been puzzled by the same problems.
The scientist knew that woman's
skin was more tender than man's and
their constitutions generally less able
to stand cold and wet , so he looked
Into the matter.
He then discovered that "women
have a special layer of fat all over
their bodies , thicker than a man's
and acquired when human kind dwelt
in caves and huts. " "In those days , "
he argued , "the men were able to keep
themselves warm by hunting and flght-
. - , The woman had to stay
at home In the cave to look after the
baby and cook her husband's dinner
whenever he might hring it In.
"And caves or huts must have been
chilly abodes in keen weather with an
east wind blowing ; \md women , who
had no hunting to warm their blood
and enable them to resist cold , suf
fered accordingly.
"So nature set to work and gradu
ally built up on women a special layer
of protective fat That took a few
thousand years probably , for nature
never works in a hurry , since time is
no object to her ; but bit by bit the
work was completed , and now women
can play what seem to men foolhardy
tricks with comparative immunity. "

ing gets exciting enough he woul'd
delay his trip east and stay on the
floor.
"I can see my mistake now , " he
said. "Now that I am laid on the
shelf from overwork I can see the
folly of it. If I were to offer advice
to business men It would simply be :
'Take vacations often- and make them
long ones. Be the champion vacation
taker. '
"When business was demanding all
of my attention for many years I be
lieved I couldn't get away ; that there
was no one I could depend on to leave
in charge. I am now paying the price
and an awful price it is. If I had
my life to live over again I would
take two or three long vacations every
year.
"Still , If I had my sight back I
would not think of quitting the game.
I would get right back into It as deep
as ever , but I would rest oftener. It
pays to be a broker. I have made
and lost much money. I have a com
fortable fortune now that is safe , and
I am going to keep it safe.
"I wasn't as big a sport as some of
the other fellows who , in years past ,
have made a fortune over night and
spent it the next night I never be
lieved In that kind of business. I
have invested my winnings in bonds
and other securities since I became
broken In health , and am thinking of
retiring for good as soon as I'can get
things shaped. "
Mr. Schaack talked of crops and
market reports and quotations in a
way that shows his remarkable under
standing of the game. All the reports
he received were verbal ones from his
brokers and friends.
"It Is mostly a matter of putting
two and two together and making four
out of it , " he said. "I can trade as well
blind as I could with my eyesight But
of course It would be a hard task. I
know just as well what to do and what
not to do and I can judge conditions
and prices as well as I ever could , but
not being able to read will settle me. I
don't want to get out of the game even
now , but will if I can regain my sight
That is the only thing I quit for. I
would never quit for money , no mat
ter how much I might be ahead. "

A trial package of Munyon's Paw Pair
Pills will be sent free to anyone on re
quest. Address Professor Munyon , 53d
Jefferson Sts. , Philadelphia , Pa. If you are
in need of medical advice , do not fail to
write Professor Munyon. Your communi
cation will be treated in strict confidence , ,
and your case "will be diagnosed as care
fully as though you had a personal inter
view.
Munyon's Patv Paw Pills are unlike
all other laxatives or cathartics. They
coax the liver into activity by gentle
methods. They do not scour , they d
not gripe , they do not -weaken , but they
do start all the secretions of the liver
and stomach in a way that soon puts
these organs in a healthy condition and
corrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most ail
ments. There are 26 feet of human
bowela , which is really a sewer pipe.
( When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system becomes poisoned , caus
ing biliousness , indigestion and impure
blood , which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who
suffers with constipation or any liver
ailment can expect to have a clear
complexion or enjoy good health. If
I had my way I would prohibit the sale
of nine-tenths of the cathartics that are
now being sold for the reason that they
eoon destroy the lining of the stomach ,
setting up serious forms of indigestion ,
and so paralyze the bowels that they re
fuse to act unless forced by strong
purgatives.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are a tonic
to the stomach , liver and nerves. They
invigorate instead of weaken ; they en
rich the blood Instead of impoverish
it ; they enable the stomach to get all
the nourishment from food that is put
into it.
These pills contain no calomel , no
cpe ; they are soothing , healing and
stimulating. They school the bowela
to act without physic.
