Y \7 Peru’s Capital ' Gets New Dress Limp, Ancient City of the WATCH GOOD LAYER Pizarros, Is Transformed TO PICK BEST EGGS Into Modern Metropolis. Shape of Body and Head Is Not Reliable Guide. Science blasted a persistent myth of the American barnyard when De partment of Agriculture Investigator* announced that there ts no mnthe matical relationship between the shape of a hen’s egg and her potential egg production. Months of delicate measuring, weigh lng. counting, tabulating and croaa-ln- dexlng were required to demonstrate the scientific truth that “neither the shape of a hen'e body nor the shape of her head bears any relation to her egg production.” “Apparently," the scientific inquiry concluded, “a hen's ability to lay de pends upon egg-laying ancestry." To gather the Information upon which these general conclusions were based, the department’s Investigators devised a trap neat Under the gen eral direction of J. P. Quinn, a poul try specialist in the bureau of animal Industry, the government test was checked on two widely divergent types of chickens. "Investigators measured the live birds, the dressed carcasses, and the bones of about 40D trap nested White * Leghorn and Rhode Island Red hens, the report says. "They could find no relationship between egg production or egg size and the shape of the hen's body. They conclude that the shape of the body, as indicated by length of keel and the width and depth of the body, have been much overeâe phaslzed In culling practices. Simi larly. the shape of the head, often regarded as an indicator of laying ca pacity. was not a safe guide. Head and skull measurements revealed no factor—length, breadth, or depth of skull—associated with high capacity for egg production. The weight of the brains was not a criterion as to the number, total weight, or average weight of the eggs the bird had laid." The aurest way to pick out good producers, the bulletin suggests, ts by the empirical method—that la. by watching the suspected good layers and counting their egga. <Pr« par©d by N atio n a l Ooovraphle Society.

Th? older portion of the city, as well as the newer region which cir cumscribes it. Is sharing in the mod ernlzatlon. True the older section is and must remain an area of one-way streets, for its thoroughfares are so narrow that even street cars must observe the one-way law. Likewise, the sidewalks are so lacking In elbow room that only two people can puss one another at a time, and the one on the outside must keep a close watch lest he t>e struck by a passing trolley.

There one may be ushered into a porcelain garden where the artlatic tiles of the cloister compete with the living flowers that bloom In the earth they Inclosei No one has described more beauti fully the effect of thia porcelain gar den than Mr. F. P. Farrar, of “The West Coast Leader.' Here.” he says, "is a porcelain garden, a ceramic bor der of springtime, where the blues of delphinium and lupine, the yellow of cytlsua and the gold of eolchlcum. the creamy white of arabia and the mauvea of aubrletla. blend Into Hie fresh foliage of the overhanging trees end the azure of the new washed skies.” The charm of the atory of the origin of thia porcelain garden almost equals the beauty of the ceramic triumph it self. On a November morning m 1619 a vast crowd had gathered In the Plaza de Armas, for there was to be a public hanging, and these events were Roman holidays for the populace. The public crier had announced: "The Warrantable and Royal Audien cia of thia city of the Kings has con demned to suffer a shameful death on the gallows Alonso Godinez, native of Guadalajara, In Spain, for the mur der of Marta Vlllosleda without f e a r of Judgment human or divine.

Came a Rapriavs. The condemned man had taken hla stand beneath the noose and the hang man waa nervously adjusting the fatal knot Suddenly a monk pushed his way through the throng, climbed the gab lows platform, snd handed a parch ment to the captain of the guard. After the latter had read it. the two engaged in a moment of animated conversation, after which the padre led the condemned man away and Into the portals of the monastery of San Francisco. The crowd. disapt»olnt- ed. hung about the Plazuela de San Francisco discussing this strange over throw of Justice and berating those who had denied them their holiday. Rut later the reason for reprieve became known. That morning the con demned man had made what he thought would be hla Inst confession on earth, to the prior or the monastery. He said that he was a potter by trade and that he had learned the art both of making and setting tiles. Years before. Dona Catalina lluanca had brought from Spain a magnificent collection of tile« for the decoration of the new cloisters at San Francisco; but neither plan nor a tile setter had come with them, and I.lma had no tile setters. So for years the tiles had been piled up n a corner of the mon astery; many were stolen and more were broken. Would Providence ever open a way for their setting? Here seemed to be the answer; the prior saw an opportunity to let the man who had murdered a woman In a drunken brawl repent hfs alna In a lifelong task of setting these splendid tiles. So he hastened to the Viceroy to Implore the pardon of the murderer, and the Viceroy, a descend ant of the Rorglas. seeing poetic Jus tice In remitting the penalty of the scaffold and Imposing a task of serv ice that would require a lifetime, granted the commutation of sentence. Lima Is peculiarly a city of churches, with some 7» In Its limits; and, with nearly four centuries ol out standing ecclesiastical tradition be hind them, the people are much given to buying religious objects. The Ca thedral is a magnificent structure, much larger than Pizarro built, hut still not so grand as the one erected during the early years ol the viceregal regime and destroyed by the great earthquake that wiped out Callao, the nearby seaport. Fashionable Hats Taboo. The attire for church occasions ta perhaps the most conservative In the New world. Even thoac women who dress in the latest Parisian modes elsewhere put on their plain black mantillas when going to church.

The City of the Kings lung hns been famous for Its brilliant social lile, with a constant succession of lunch eons, teas, dinners, dances, champan- atlas, and receptions. Nearly four ten turles of wealth, leisure, and oppor tunity have written their impress of culture on the descendants of the no bility and official classes of the co lonial regime.
