Wealth Found In the Walls of Mexi-
can Adobe Houses.
There are many remarkable towns
in Mexico, but none more interest-
ing than Guanajuato, “the hill of the
frog.” It might more properly be
called the “gold brick town,” for the
houses have been found to centain
much gold.
This is a eurious situation, but it
came about naturally. Guanajuato—
pronounced Wah-nah-wahto—is one of
the oldest mining towns in Mexico, but |
the value of the place as a town was
discovered when a railroad company
decided to build a station there, It
was found unecessary to tear down
about 300 adobe buildings. which were
made of the refuse of various mines
after the ore was extracted.
When it became known that the old
adobe buildings would be torn down
pieces taken at random were assayed.
It was found that because of the old

ané as it was a dark day he decid- |
ed to take a “time exposure” in-|
stead of a “snapshot.” Steadying the !
camera upon his knee as well as in !
could at the edge of the cave, he gave |
the sensitive plate a long, deliberatc

Proving a Statement.
A certain minister. who is an em
phatic preacher, is at times at a loss
to give his utterances proper weight !
For instance. he'll say:
“This statement is as true as is the |
night which will follow day.” or “as
true as that the trees will bud in|
spring.”
Sometimes it happens that the doc
tor has more statements than he has
fllustrations to give them weight. On
one such oceasion he remarked, “This
is as true as the”"— Here the doctor!
halted. He paused a few moments,
and then his face illumined—"as true!
as is the statement that some member
is yet on his or her way to church.”
A few moments later a lady entered |
the edifice and swept grandly up the
aisle. The doctor's face assumed an
“1 told you so" appearance. The con-
gregation began to smile, then to
laugh. Sympathy for the embarrassed
lady. however, soon subdued the ap-
parently uncontrollable mirth.
The Parrots of Mexico.
What the wild pigeon once was in |
point of numbers to the United States:
the parrot. of varying shades of color
and all sizes, is to old Mexico. Flights
of these birds frequentiy darken the
midday sun in the hot country. and
they become so tame around the camp |
of engineers that the birds arc given
individual! names and soon become rey
ular pets. Whenever the parrots de
sert the forest and alight on the
ground in the open spaces of the jun.
gle the natives recognize their action: |
as sure warning of an impending!
earthquake. American engineers iu-!
dorse this belief and assert that -c-
rious accidents which might have been
averted have resulted when the warn-
ing of the birds was noted. but un-
heeded.
