These heathen rites took place about twice a year, when the chiefs, with their high priests, threw rich offerings of gold, and precious stones Into the lake, and the people " congregated round Re banks deposited smaller contributions of the same kind, to propitiate the divinities inhabiting lis waters, Many attempt's have been made to recover some of the treasure hidden at the bottom of the lake, but with little success. An English company has now succeeded ht draining the waters, and is engaged in removing the mud which covers what is hoped to prove a mine of treasure. All the gold ornaments, as we1L as the great Mass of pottery which has been rehov- Bred, are of the true Chibcha type, and extremely interesting as examples of the arts and crafts of the Indians before the arrival of the Spaniards 4n South America. The pottery Is supposed to have been made almost exclusively for the reception of the gold dust, ornaments and precious stones which were thrown into the lake as "offerings, and it is quite different in character from the vases found In the burial places •t the surrounding country. There appear to be no specimens of this class in our public museums at. present. NOVEL EGG STEAMER. Attractive Cooking Device Which Can be Used on Table. Since the nee of the chafing dish 11, become so general, cooking uten- ells that can be used at. the table hape come Into great demand, and new ones are being invented continually. One, of the newest is the egg steamer or. boiler designed by a New York man, • shown in the illustration, This Is a all of nickeled ware and makes a good. • tj aepearaance. At the base of the frame is an arcola& lamp, and in the top of -the frame sets the pan that holds the water. In the top or this pan sets a t ray with openings to hold the eggs, and a handle by means of which the tray may be lifted out and stood on the table on the little legs It carries ter that purpose. A dome -like lid covets the whole utensil and retains' the steam. If the eggs are to be boiled the pan must, of .course, contain more water than if they are steamed, but one process Is as easy as the other with ttais device, ON A MOOSE'S HORNS A New Brunswick Man Had en Un- expected Ride A decidedly exciting and quite un- expected journey was ihat taken by William O'Keefe, of Chatham, IV13. Mr. O'Keefe was on his way, along' the road to his brother's home' when he saw a noose in tbe woods close at band. This seemed an oppor- tunfty too good to be 'missed and Mr. O'Keefe at once hastened, to the house, procured his brother's gun, and re- turning, shot the moose, as be sup- posed, wounding It fatally. Ile then walked up to inspect bis trophy, when, to his great surprise, tbe animal. which was very, much alive, Jumped *p, and in a second had caught the un- fortunate loan between its liorns. Off *hey started through the wood's, and it, Was not until after travelling some dis- tance : that the moose fell and Mr- Q'-, Keefe was able to free himself from his uncomfortable position. Once' again, however, the moose made an attack, and it was olds -atter much dilScuity that Mr, O'Keefe was able to, t{ get into a tree, where he had to remain, until the moose, who, although so, liveiy, was badly wounded, died.

ML ITALIAN FAILING Not Likely to Make Much of a Success of Tripoli Colony According to Lawrence Mott, wee has had many opportunities of study- ing the Italian character and the trend of Italian policy, the chances of Italy making a success of the Tripe Man colony experiment are quite as doubtful as the question of her success in war. Air. Mott recalls Italy's fail- ure fn Abyssinia, and declares that un- less the Italians are prepared to aban- don the policy of centralization that they have been wedded to they will fall In 'Tripoli. To the Italian, Rome is the headquarters of everything. Every Ilailnn looks to Rome for his • nd thetirci t who will instructions,a 0 a s am on their own initiative if they hap- pen t0 bit serving their country any- where but in the capital are few in- deee. Mr, 1101t says that if tate Italians had left the conduct of the military operations in Abyssinia in the hands of the generals on the spot they !night leave defeated Meuelik. Even in the present war there is a disposi- tion to act on advice from Rome rather than according to the exigen- cies of the situation as they present themselves to the generals in the field. 'tripoli will not be a successful Italian colony if the Italians attempt to manage its affairs from Rome. They must fist land the right man to put in charge, then turn him loose and let; blm handle the affairs of Tripoli. 'rhe French made the mis- take of direeting Algerian business; front Paris, and the result was much trouble and disappointment. The French, moreover, tried the "strong arm method with the natives, and today France holds Aigerta by her' troops, whereas in British colonied troops are not more numerous than. policeman are at borne, and discharge much the same functions. If Italy la to succeed she must enlist the Arabs as allies. prove to them that they have as much to gain as the Italians them-; selves by making Tripoli. a garden land, and teach them the arts of the European farmer, shepherd and vine dresser, for those are the arts that must make 'tripoli a great colony is It is to be rescued froln barbarism.

Seeking a Remedy Grave statements are made by Sir L'eorge Newman, chief medical obiter 'of the, London Board of Education, about the ill -health which is rampant among the children attending the nation's olementar,v schools. An ex- traordtuarily large number of the s'x million chilteree in these schools are sufferlug from one sort of disease or another, and, to make their condition more difficult to ameliorate or cure, many of thein are constantly handi- capped by having insufficient or fray proper food. Here• are some of the diseases which flourish among the children; 10 per cent. suffer 19'00 a serious defection its vision.. 3 to 5 per cent, suffer from defective hearing. ' \ . 6 to 8 per cent. have adenoids, or enlarged tonsils, of sulliiccnt de- gree to obstruct the nose or throat. and thus to centre surgi- cal treatment. 40 per e.n1. suffer from extensive decay of the teeth. 30 to 40 per cent, have unclean heads or bodies. 1 per cent, suffer from tuberculosis in readily recognized form . 1 to 2 per cent. are afflicted with heart disease. Everybody will agree with the gen- eral proposition laid down in the re- port that a State cannot effectually insure Itself against phys'enl disease unless it begins with the ebildren. To 40 this the machinery for the midi- cal inspection of schoolchildren has been in operation since 1908, but is good effects are only now beginning to show, and than is still much ground to cover. 'The mass of ill -health is a serious obstacle to national well -be- teg- Sir George Newman says With truth and force; - "It cannot be doubted that, in the aggregate this formidable category of disease and defects means a ser, oils amount of suffering. iucapa' ity, and inefficietcy, which et least must greatly limit the opporlun ty and diminish the capacity of the child to receive and profit by tee education welch the State pro- vides." Work After School j A very small improvement. 'in the health of the children !nay represent a very largo gain In the physical health, capacity, and energy of the people as a whole, A very interesting portion of the report deals with the efforts made by individual teachers and schools to bring about h"a'th.ier ways of living among the children. "The way is difficult and hard," says.8ic Geor:e, "partly becato e ahrcc is at present no Parliamentary •rant In 'id, and part- ly because nr the rentp'exity of the issues which are raised in velaion to treatment," No fewer lean 995 medical oMces, in ludo ^ seventy nine women and n ..r 1 JJ> nurses are giving !hair dine to this work, and they have stimulated great iuterest all over the country in the subject of obtaining and main- taining health, By way M' preying- the danger of putting •'^ung children to work after school hours, it is reported that at Halifax ,tie average height of children who did not work was 59.8 inches and weight S1.5" pounds. Those who did such work showed an average height of only 51 inches and an average weight of 67 pounds. Out of 1 581 children, I'5.4 of the boys adn 04,0 of the girls suffered from flat foot. Taught to Wash Remedial measures are varied and interesting. Seventy authorities have sanctioned expenditure on spectacles for scholars. Last year $5,000 was spent under this head. At 4h•adfoed there are evening classes for mothers with their babies, conducted by trained nurses, In a number of schools there are regular toothbrush drills, each child being provided with a mug, toothbrush gaud tooth powder. At one school, es the result or the cleansing reform the number of scho- lars wearing collars, originally on'y live per cent., was increased to eighty per cent., and tl Le without compul- sion. At Wolverhampton children are taught to wash themselves, to ea e for their hands 'and nails, to brush their bale, t.o mend their dollies, to wash dirty pinafores, to eat nicely and, daintily. An elaborate scheme of "motbercr•aft" teacblug ts: carried out !n Tottenham school, the conr:e in- cluding the washing and dressing or a baby doll, preparing and cleaning et bottles, cutting out and making clothes, mending and darning, drat aid, =petal polishing and other home - life matters.

An immense number of meals were provided during the year for neces- sitous children, in London the num- ber Increased from 7,300,000' to 9,104, 000.
