A. Mason. The rains of the city, or collection of villages, are la a portion of Colombia now uninhabited and almost unknown to science. It Is evident, the museum announced today, that this was once one of the great centers ot population of the world, bat today sven Its name is unknown. The finds to date Indicate that In ancient times the country was densely IBhabited by settled agricultural tribes who were semlcivilized. They were expert builders and possessed great skill In the working of gold and precious stones. Ancient Population Tremendous. Hi. Mason sent the following message regarding the discoveries he has made thus far: "There must have been a tremendous population here at one time, as the country is covered with house sites. The repion Is very mountainous, and the houses, which were of wood, were built on terraces made with retaining walls. In the center of each terrace there are entering steps of beautifully cut stone, and, if the main path l£ far below, other steps are built to connect the teirace with it. "The principal place where 1 have been working has a long stalrcaBe of 48 steps, all made of nicely cut quadrangular stone slabs. Instead of the JW ..?S V< •' Indian road jtA which I have-beard, there are thousands of them all through the mountains. Tbers ace apparently wide roads connecting the main sites. . ' RoMs Skillfully Bulg. . , "All are paved with flat waterwdrn rocks of more or less uniform size, the amall paths being a single line of such stones, while the more Important roads are four feet or more wide and edged with upright stones. When the way ascends or descends the stones are set as steps. "On the aide of almost every house there can still be found the metate. or grinding slab, on which the famlty ground its corn. In an tfife linages wer have fbund Quantities of broken pottery, mostly fragments of large las' decorated Jars. 8eme were decorated #Mk.fetief ftnaiMBts and there t$ one sort of very fine fiack pottery which is incised or carved." The ancient Inhabitants of this conntry decorated themselves with gold ornaments and burled these with their dead. The early Spaniards are known to have taken fabulous quantities of gold from tbe ancient graves and the further work of the expedition should bring to light many objects of value And Interest, It was said. Specimens already received at the museum Include gold bells, small beautifully made gol$ figures and ornaments of shell, tfamellan and agate. The most^ valuable acquisition is complete set of ornaments worn by a native priest In the performance of his religious duties. The expedition is supported by the endowment of research given to the museum by Capt. Marshall Field. -- „ ' ll. I ' 'jiftiiftilK"!

San Joan, 'Porto Rica--Extra policemen have been detailed for*duty at San Lorenzo to help handle the crowds drawn there from Wednesday night to late Friday each week by the stories of apparent cures by Julia Vasquez, the "healer of San Lorenzo." Hundreds, if uot thousands, of automobiles carrying the sick, lame and curious have been visiting San Lorenzo, and so great have been the traffic jams that there have been pom- Greek Queen and Her Granddaughter -W*/: plaints to the police that the San Lorenzo road was Impassable. On a recent Thursday there was a line of motors two miles long on each side of the roadway waiting ft>r people who are jrapidly wearing into a broad trail th4 cow path that leads up the steep hills to the spring from which the supposedly healing waters come. Thousands go by motor to the "heal-r er," and more thousands on foot. From Caguas and other nearby towns therer has sprung up a regular motor service to and from the place of "mlrades."** People go by truckloads. They go Iff carriages, carts and some are carried. Stories of "miracles" are spread with wonderful rapidity through the crowd each day, and there are reports of people coming froir Santo Domingo or the Virgin islands to get the water» blessed by the "healer." Some make a fiesta of It; others are almost reverential. The healing spring Is about a mile from the town where the "healer" lives. Near the spring a palm-covered pavilion sheltering 400 to 500 people has been erected. There Thursdays and Fridays the healer sits in a chair on a raised platform and receives the sick. 8ha Magnetites Water. Waters from the spring lack heeling qualities until she has blessed or magnetized them. After being blessed the water is carried away in bottles, buckets, oil cans, anything. And each person the "healer" sees Is told to bathe, rub the afflicted portion of the body with the water, or drink so much of it at certain times. Frequently the "liealer" Is aroused from her trances with great difficulty. Her father and a brother assist her. -Her "power" Is supposed to have been jpassed on to her, while the spring -waters for. many years have been re-, puted to have healing qualities. It was about two months ago that the "healer" first attracted attention. Since then her fame has spread throughout the Island. All ages and colors were represented at the baptizing of 200 converts by Aimee McPherson, noted woman evangelist, in the swimming pool at Idora Park, Oakland, Cal. Thousands of people crowded the park to witness this unusual affair. After the ceremonies .Mrs. McPherson delivered her final sfrmon in California ^"4 the United 8 t a t e s f o r s e m e t i m e .

London.--A big female Indian el> it that went on strike at the soo ist spring and refused to do what all big elephants at the zoo are required to do--earn money by carrying children around on her back--has been cured of the sulks and laziness by the seeming magic treatment of .an Indian mahout , -She was presented to the soo by the Maharajah of Cooch Behar two years ago.

London.--Having found no buyers tor the" great group of battleships which the Washington conference decreed should be scrapped, Great Britain is using tbe monsters as targets for gunners of the royal navy and bombers of the royal air force. Like the United States and France, this •country has a dozen or more specially fine cruisers and one-time dreadnaughts which must be relegated to the ignominious junk pile. Thunderer, Monarch, Conqueror, Colossus, Lion, Ajax, Centurion, King •George V, Princess Royal, Erin and Orion, monsters of 20,000 or more tons. once the pride of the seven seas, are all doomed. Costing more than $15,- 000,000 originally. Junk dealers have qgered the government only $20,000 apiece for them. The navy now is engaged te a aerlee of target tests on the famous battleships Agamemnon and Superb, which, like their sister ships, are to find their graves In the ocean at the hands of the gunners and jack tars that once manned them. The admiralty Is trying by these tests to determine how a direct hit can be prevented from passing from the turret down tbe ammunition tube. In the battle of Jutland, Invincible, Indefatigable and Queen Mary blew up because of a flash passing from the ammunition tube to the magazine below. So Superb Is aow in the English channel and is being shelled at punishing ranges to see whether or not the flash of explosion passes down to the powder and shell magazines under given conditions. Agamemnon, too, may soon need a successor. She Is a moving target, more difficult to hit than Superb, which Is stationary. She la propelled by oil. The supply of oil is turned on, her engines are started, and the engineer* flee from her before she gathers to<l much headway. Her speed as well a* her steering apparatus are controlled by wireless In another ship. The most exciting part of these tests is that played *)y the sloop Snap* dragon. She Is responsible for taking accurate motion pictures of what happens to the target as the result of the shots. At times she rang the risk of being hit by the monster armor-piercing projectiles as weir as being rammed 20,000-ton Agamemnon. y^-r^ One Mail Coat Hr Faroe; J; ^Berlin.--Coats of mail have been adopted for German detectives engaged in dangerous pursuits of criminals, but because of a shortage of funds the Berlin department can own but one of the useful vests of arm jr.

Now You Know Why It Is Often Called Firewater Calexlco, Cal.--Tfce government proved the wisdom of "Poor Lo" In naming liquor "firewater" some centuries ago. One hundred gallons confiscated by federal customs officers was ordered emptied Into the gutter the other day. The thermometer registered 120 in the shade, and when the liquor spattered on the pavement It burst Into flames from the heat of the sun's rays. The officers moved to another location and again started pouring into the gutter. Again it burst Into flames, which- flashed up the stream of liquor and exploded one of the tanks. The officers then poured the firewater direct into the sewer. Dozens of spectators saw the "firewater" fire. vices beyond that of picking pockets for edible dainties. But every elephant that has any sense at all leams to do that In the soo. Qoee on Strike. Then she took It Into her big head that she would not submit to being bossed any longer, bhe declined to stand between the new riding steps that had been fixed up for the convenience of juvenile elephant riders. When the old wooden steps were substituted for the new ones she proved equally obdurate. In the end she declined to leave the elephant yard at aU. As the elephant Is a fine animal, and quite good tempered, it was decided to obtain a mahout from India. He was cabled for, and arrived in due course. He was taken to the elephant house. He at once entered the Inclosure and formally saluted the animal, standing first at her head and then at her tail. Next he took off his shoes, and knotted a rope loosely ound the elephant's neck, which he afterward used as a kind of stirrup. With little difficulty he persuaded her to kneel and mounted her neck. In less than two minutes, soothing, patting, and talking volubly to her In Hindustani, he had got on good terms with the animal. Then he took her round to the elephant ride, and apparently h&d her in complete control. Phrases of his admonitions, freely translated, were as follows: "I am told that you eat your food, and will not work; It Is wrong; Allah enjoins on us all that we must work If we would eat. You are cheating your masters, and It is nnworthy of you. I am only a black man, and you must not mind me. Put fear out of your mind; take It up from your heart, and throw It out." The elephant certainly seemed to understand, and now obeys every order. ^The mahout was given quarters In another part of the gardens, but he obtained leave to sleep In the elephant house, as he says that he wishes to talk to the elephant during the night. He has not yet tried to saddle her, as he wants to take things slowly, but he Is confident he will conquer all her fear; and mafce bet perotanently 'obedient. \! ilQnmfcM. am wiQing for these facts to be itted Ml a testimonial to lead all whosu/fec *Mk female troubles^ as I did, to the iUt road to health."--Mrs. Lula Vjiw.Bo* 43, Pulton, Arkansas^ Its this sort of praise efLydia E.

It is a floating clubhouse.

The Wilson to equipped with two powerful gasoline motors, which cost Uncle Sam $80,000 eaeb^ and virtually la a new vessel, having made only one voyage since It was launched. Its only journey was s trip by easy stages from New York to Pensacola, but the voyage proved to be the undoing of tbe vessel. The motors consumed 50 gallons of gasoline an hour, and even Uncle Sara's bank account would not stand for that. On arrival of the vessel here It was tied up and a recent advertisement for bids for the ship resulted In tbe local yacfet club's becoming Interested. The dub for many' years had dreamed of a floating clubhouse eventually, but even the most optimistic members did not contemplate one of concrete or one that could be moved without the assistanceaof a tug, and when it was learned the Wilson was on the market the members proceeded to file a bid. With the vessel went aU of its equipment, which comprised everything from table silver to bed linen. The ship has accommodations for 50 persons, but hsving been designed to carry troops, if necessary, there Is room aboard for several hundred. The club expects to dredge a channel In the western part of Pensacola bay as a permanent berth for the vessel; but whenever the club decider to go In a body to Mobile, New Orleans or some other Gulf port, the anchor will be pulled aboard and tbe elubL house will make tbe trip under lta owi|' power.

ArtMs by the Thousands Are Thrown Out of Employment and Theatrical Agencies Quit Business. Berlin.--Unusually bard tla>es have fallen upon the stage world of Germany. The economic difficulties which have been distressing theatrical managers ever since the revolution have thrown hundreds of actors and actresses out of employment and at the same time closed many theaters. Today numerous directors are waitla* until almost curtain time for the winter season before entering into contracts v for the numbers of their casts. The artists themselves hsve been so bard pressed for means of •alnlng a livelihood that tbey have m tuning t» other wofk* "te «ns town In the occupied territory an actor, who once played leading bero parts, has taken up the pick of a coal miner, rather than stoop to s minor part on the stage, or accept a salary which would be low compared with a miner's wages. This instance Is said to be typical. In the days before the war there were more than two dozen flourishing theatrical agencies In Berlin. The coming of the revolution marked the Introduction of government labor exchanges, jointly conducted'"by representatives of employers and employees. Private agencies were given a ten years' lease of life In which to recuperate losses entailed through government competition. Most of them have closed, however, leaving Berlin today with only four large actors' agencies. Tbe private bureaus demanded s 5 per cent commission, which was equally shared by employer and employees. While the government at first charged nothing as commisslosw It now asks S Lately managers, directors and exchanges' have been flooded with applications for Jobs. Many managers require artists to take as many as three different characters in the same play. Stage contracts which formerly ran from three to five years at present are being made for only one year, and even contracts for a year are rare. I GAR ITS TOASTED Honesty Bureau in Schools.
