Surprising evidence that the pre.

byfamous a hitects ox ancient
Greece has been obtained by the Tu -
lane University expedition, led by Dr.
Frans Blom, which recently returned
from Yucatan,
Dr. Blom, ac,^ording to Science Ser-
vice, said that some of the temple
squares in the .ruined city of Uxmal
appear rectangular, but really are not
so at all. Describing the buildings
set on four sides of a court known as
the Nunnery, Dr. Blom said that the
south front end of the Nunnery eourt
is wider than the north. At the same
time, the north ends of the side
buildings are slightly raised. To the
onlooker the court aapears square -
cut, as it would not, paradoxically, it
it were really built square and on
the level.
This shows that the Mayas under-
stood the false perspective, an arehi-
tectural feature which has come to.
our knowledge only in recent times,
Dr. Blom is id,
FurthermTire, the elaboratelycarv-
ed friezes on the facades of the: build-
ing are tilted outward. This gives
better opportunity for the onlooker
to enjoy the exquisite carvings, and
also produces deeper shadows which
make the carvings stand out vividly.
Earlier archaeological expeditions
had described how the Mayan artists
used paint in connection with carved
friezes inorder to emphasize shadow
and relief.
In examining the supposedly well-
known buildings, the architect of the
expedition, Prof: J, Herndon Thom-
son, of Tulane University, found a
number of the unsuspected architec-
tural devices which had beeu mas-
tered by America's greatest pre-
historic builders.
The experiments which these
In-
dian architects conducted in heir
search for beautiful effects recall the
skillfue handling of perspective by
the Greeks. Scholars long ago point-
ed out that some of the Parthenon's
secrets of beauty lay in the slanting
of the corner columns inward and
the bulge of the columns.
It has generally been supposed
that the Mayan builders put up s,.
scaffold, when they set in place the
stones of a slanting arch. They did
not know how to complete a true
arch with a keystone. They formed
a vault by pushing stones closer to-
gether, as two piles of books might
be slipped into arch form, and to
complete the arch they filled the gap
by a capstone on top. It was found
that the Indian way of holding the
vault stones in place during the
building process was to weight the
stones on the wall side of the arch
with poured concrete. This, harden-
ing, held the stones in place and
made scaffolding unnecessary.
Dr. Blom reports the discovery of
twenty-three groups of buildings not
heretofore recognized even in the
ruins of a city so frequently visited
as Uxnial. These buildings lie off in
the jungle growth, away from the
well-known buildings. Mayan cities
consisted of a civic centre, in which
the stone and stucco public buildings
were set up with much care and
labor. Off from this heart of the
community radiated the thatched
huts of the people. The area of the
public buildings in. Uxmal shows the
great sire of the city, and dts in with
its traditional importance in Mayan
affairs.
Penetrating the thick underbrush,
the expedition also found three pools,
which solve the mystery ot Uxmal's
water supply. It has been a •• pint
for argument that the city seemed
without water.
In the •centre of the eity Dr. ltloes
made bis discovery that a large, ter-
raced mound .had upon it nineteen
highly important monoliths. These
stone markers of history ars carved
with human figure% representing the
type* of people who lived in the Re-
yan metropolis, and some have bands
of 'hieroglyph!* recordtng dates in

WHAT HAPPENED SO FAR.
Bud Lee, horse foreman of the Blue
Lake ranch, convinced :Bayne Trev-
ors, manager, is deliberatly wrecking
the property owned by Judith San-
ford, a young woman, her cousin,
Pollock Hampton, and Timothy Gray,
decides to throw •up his job. Judith
arrives and announces she has bought
Gray's .share in the ranch and' will
run it. She discharges Trevors.

"You wildcat!" he cried. And his
two big hands flew out, seeking her
shoulders.
"Stand back!'" called Judith. "Just
because you are bigger than I am,
don't make any mistake! Stand back
I tell you!" •
Bud Lee marvelled at the swiftness
with which her hand had gone into

But Bayne Trevors; from whose
snake -up cowardice had been omitted,
laughed sneeringly at her and did not
stand back. His two hands out be-

on.

Then no Man there doubted longer
the mad tale Bud Lee had brought
them, Down from Trevors' sleeves,
staining each hand, there had come 'a
broadening trickle of blood. Trevors
drank swiftly, draining the cup.
"Get this coat off ane," he com-
manded. "Curse you, don't tear my
arms off! Slit the sleeves." •
It was Lee who, pushing the clumsy.
cook aside, silently made the two
bandages from strips of Trevors'
shirt. It was Lee who brought a
flask of brandy from which Trevors
drank deep.
