It stands 1n acanyon which has been deserted since before Columbus’s time. ‘The ancient ruins are semi-circular in shape. A long row of one-story houses connects the extreme wings. From the middle of the straignt row a cluster of ceremonial chambers extend to meet the curved section, thus dividing the village and providing for each half an open court. In these courts sacred dances and veli- gious ceremonies were performed. Some of the ancient walls still stand more than 30 feet high. The 400 ground-floor rooms occupy an area a.most equal to that of ethe U. S. capitol building.—.lbid. ® A FIRE EX-TINGUISHER PISTOL A German invent2r has worked out a Ne. 127. ~ Supplementary Order of the Day | for the extraordinary meeting of . the Colonial Council for St. Croix, !
