The lighthouse was erected to com

The little village of San Juan
Teotihuacan, which • in the Aztec lan
guage meant “City of the Gods," was
tn the early days of Aztec history the
scene of extraordinary religious cere
monies. The two pyramids, one dedi
cated to the sun, the other to the
moon, are known to have been the
tombs in which hundreds of tribal
dignitaries were burled and excava
tors have exhumed wrought stone con
taining human bones, obsidian knives,
terra cotta heads with broad faces and
flat noses, fragments of rare pottery
and great numbers of arrowheads. One
of the most recent and most valuable
discoveries was a jadeite mask of
some past monarch, with the brow
covered with the diadem known to
early Mexican history. The pyramid
to the sun and the one to the moon
both contain chambers and their sev
eral stories are complete temples In
themselves, but connected by winding
stairs.
The Inscriptions having Chinese
characteristics were discovered through
excavating in the ruins of what has
generally been known as La Cindadela
(The Citadel), but which, according to
recent reports of investigators, are
what is left of a pyramid larger and,
perhaps, older than the two pyramids
to the sun and the moon.
Whence Comes Turpentine.
Most people know that turpentine
Is a product off the pine tree, but are
not acquainted with the means by
which It Is obtained.
Beneath the bark of the tree are
resin-secreting cells, whose output Is
meant by nature for healing wounds.
If the skin of the tree be wounded
severely, many more of these cells,
much larger In size, develop and pour
out great quantities of resin.
Hence, to procure the resin, the bark
is well scarred with cuts (preferably
mode in a series of parallel V’s), and
a receptacle is placed beneath to
catch the fluid as it exudes.
The fluid is then distilled and the
volatile part of It. which passes over,
is turpentine. The residue Is what we
call "rosin” and is used for many pur
poses, one of its employments being In
the manufacture of explosives.—Kan

America’s Telephone Industry.
According to the report by the bo
reati of the census showing the results
of the census cf telephones covering
the year 1917. there are 53.234 separate
telephone systems and lines. These
Unes and systems operated 28.827,188
miles of wire in the United States—
enough to girdle the earth at the
equator 1.153 times—and connected
11,718,520 telephones and 21,175 public
exchanges.
The messages or “talks" sent over
these wires antgregated the stupendous
total of nearly' 22.000,000,000, or. to be
exact, 21.845.7 22,335. Figured on the
estimated population of the country In
1917, this gives 211 messages per an-
num to every no an, woman and child.

San Francisco.—James M. Cox, gov
ernor of Ohio, was nominated for pres-
ident of the United States in the dem-
ocratic national convention at 1:40
o'clock Tuesday morning. The con-
vention then adjourned until noon
Tuesday, to canvass the question of
second place to complete the ticket.
When the convention convened again
at noon Tuesday it was decided to
give second place on the ticket to the
East. Franklin D. Roosevelt of New
York, assistant secretary of the navy.
The nomination of Cox came at the
conclusion of a 44 ballot struggle in
which he had steadily beaten down
the forces of William O. McAdoo, ex-
secretary of the treasury, and Presi
dent Wilson's son-in-law.
When the balloting on the 44th vote
had reached a point where Cox had
702 votes and was rapidly approaching
ths necessary two-thirds of 729, Sam

JAMES M. COX
Who Received the Democratic Nom
ination for President.
B. Amidon of Kansas, manager of the
McAdoo forces and vice-chairman of
the democratic national committee,
took the platform and moved that the
nomination of Governor Cox be made
unanimous.
Nomination Made Unanimous.
Immediately there was a roar from
the tired and worn delegates which
lasted for a full four minutes before
Chairman Robinson could put the
question on Amidon's motion to sus
pend the rules and nominate Cox by
acclamation.
At 1:43 o'clock Tuesday morning the
motion was formally voted over with
a rolling chorus of ayes and a crash
ing of the brass bands.
State standards which had surged
back and forth in the desperate hat
ties of the deadlock raced to the front
of the hall and to a place before the
platform.
The Cox band wagon movement
really started late Monday afternoon
before the recess for dinner. During
the Interval both sides of the fight
made desperate appeals to Tammany.
Throughout the night New York's vote
stood the same, 20 for McAdoo and 70
for Cox. On the third ballot of the
evening session the slide to Cox start
ed and before the leaders of the op
position could realize It the votes were
flopping over in twos and threes and
fours in a fashion which sent him over
the majority mark and put him at a
new level.
Georgia Goes to Cox.
After that the going was easy.
Georgia went into the Cox column
with her 28, the withdrawal of Attor
ney-General Palmer had released not
only the Pennsylvania delegation, but
other delegates who wanted to slide
to the Cox column
The accessions
of twos, threes and fours soon grew
iato blocks, and when the 44th ballot
was well on Ita way the votes were
tumbling Into the Cox column so fast
that bls nomination seemed an as-
sured fact.
After 22 fruitless ballots, the con-
vention gave up hopes of selecting s
presidential nominee within the first
week of Its session and adjourned on
Saturday night until 10 o'clock Mon-
day morning.
When the convention i stopped Col
was leading with 430. I McAdoo came
next with 372%. Palmer was down
to 166%.
The final ballota of the
night were full of McAdoo movement,
but it failed to make much headway.
The convention perfected its organ
ization by accepting Senator Joseph T.
Robinson of Arkansas as its perma
nent chairman. ‘
~
The fourteen candidates placed in
nomination ware Senator Owen of Ok-
¡ahorna. Attorney General Palmer, Sen
ator Hitchcock of Nebraska. Homer
Cummings, chairman of the democratic
national committee; William G. Mc
Adoo, Governor Smith of New York,
Governor Edwards of New Jersey,
Secretary Meredith. Governor Cox of
Ohio, James W. Gerard, ex-ambassa-
dor to Germany; Senator Simmons of
North Carolina. John W. Davis, am
bassador to Great Britain; Senator
Carter Glass of Virginia, and Francis
Burton Harrison, governor general of
the Philippines.
No Speech for McAdoo.
Dr. Burris Jenkins of Kansas City,
who placed the ex-secretary of the
treasury in nomination, made one of
the shortest speeches on record when
he merely announced that he placed
Mr. McAdoo in nomination, fully as
sured that if "drafted for the service
of the nation” he would not refuse the
nomination.
Perhaps the most exciting scenes of
the convention occurred when Senator
Glass, chairman of the resolutions
committee, presented the platform and
the battle of the wets and drys got un
der way. After the platform had been
read without making mention of a
prohibition plank, W. J. Bryan was
recognised to’offer a bone-dry plank,
as a minority report.
W. Bourke Cochran of New York
offered a plank permitting for home
consumption the manufacture of cider,
light wines and beer.
E. L. Doheny of California presented
a minority report on the Irish question,
proposing a plank providing for the
recognition of the Irish republic.
Bryan Lambaste Liquor.
Eryan, showing the oldtime fire of
his oratory, lambasted the liquor in
terests in his regular fashion.
Beginning with an argument in sup
port of the eighteenth amendment, Mr.
Bryan soon got the convention to
cheering.
Every democratic state, he said, had
ratified the amendment and every one
recognized that the "liquor traffic is
dead, never to be resurrected.”
As he worked into his speech the
Nebraskan mixed many Biblical refer
ences with his rounded rhetorical per
iods. His full voice filled the hall, and
he got the galleries and some of the
delegates going into longer and longer
bursts of applause as he went on.
Minnesota Woman Speaks.
Mrs. Peter Olesen of Minnesota was
called by Mr. Bryan in support of his
program. She said she spoke In the
name of the motherhood of America
In supporting the dry declaration.
In a dramatic emotional appeal
which got the convention to its feet, ‘
Mrs. Olesen asked that God should
help her in the fight she was making
for it was for the sake of her child
that she was fighting.
"Let It never be said," she cried,
"that the Democratic party thinks
more of its appetites than of the chil
dren of the land.' God speed the right.”
" St.
FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT
Who Received the Democratic Nom
ination for Vice-President.
Mr. Cockran, arising to reply, said
it is a peculiar thing in history that
most of what is bad has been con
ceived by people who were good, by
111 digested efforts to coerce people In
their daily lives.
"I am opposed to the word prohibí
tlon. I abhor It. It is the word you
will find chalked up In all the peniten
tlaries. If it ts necessary to have pro
hibition and to force the people to do
what they do not want to do, then I
say they are not fit for self govern
ment and are ready for submission to
a monarchy."
All Amendments Fall.
Secretary Colby and Senator Glass
defended the platform as framed by
the resolutions committee.
In quick and successive votes the
convention voted down by heavy ma
jorities all attempts to amend tho re
port of the platform committee and
threw out all substitute proposals. In
eluding the bone dry plank by William
J. Bryan and the wet plank offered by
W. Bourke Cockran.
The administration's league of na-
Hons plank as reported by the com
mittee was sustained against all at-
tacks. The administration supporters
ware In contrai by heavy majorities ail
along the line.
