Quintana Roo left a bad tasta In the
mouths of Mexicans in the days of Por-
firlo Dias because it was principally
known as the place to which political
offenders and "bad Indians," mainly
from Sonora, were sent to do time and
die In Its unhealtliful climate. But now
comes a report telling of the vast na
tural resources of this practically un
known territory of 18,000 square miles,
comprising the eastern part of the pen
insula of Yucatan und extending about
300 miles north and south. Data brought
( to United States Consul O. Gaylord
Marsh at Progreso by prospectors,
chicle gatherers and archeologists show
that Quintana Roo lias several ranges
of hills .about nine lakes and several
short rivers. The western part Is said
to contain wide rolling pampas, the In
terior Is rich In valuable tropical woods
und the coast abounds In fish. The soli
Is reported good for all sorts of tropi
cal and semi-tropical vegetables and
fruits.
O f the some 9,000 Inhabitants of the
territory, 2,500 live In Santa Crus de
Bravo, the capital. Transportation to
the interior Is lacking, but the recent
arrival of an American caterpillar
tractor hus given the more enterprising
coast residents visions of a speedy de

“Get up; get up, miss," said the

"I’ve gotta take this cab around to the

“ I can’t get up,” said the girl.
“ You’ll liafta get up,” said the

Major Bailey is wanted, the notice
on the boarding told m e; and Instantly
my mind flew back to a land where
boardings are heavy with notices of
wanted men who are never found.
Every town In the East has a lengthy
list of men who are wanted for crimes.
The natives affirm that no true crim
inal is ever brought to book, but that
the police, to Justify themselves, from
time to time, make an innocent man
pay the penalty of another’s sin.
The fact is, of course, that the or
dinary methods of detection as we
know them In the West are useless in
the East. Few there can read notices,
even though they be printed in the
vernaculars of the populace, and so a
crier parades the streets with a little
drum (followed by a rabble of ur
chins) to tell them of the latest man
who is wanted by the police.
The people come to their doors, and
when the crier 1ms passed nnd the
taps of hlg drum lmve grown faint
they whisper among themselves. The
chances are that they all know where
the wanted man Is hiding, but they
are all resol v » m I never to give him up.
Not all rewards in the world will
make them tell tlie crier what they
know; for the East is a land where
vendettas still prevail and every na
tive is aware that a man possesses
power to strike even after be Is dead.
So, after the crier has passed, the
criminal leaves Ids hiding place and
moves on to the next township, toward
the frontier where also he is sure of
shelter and security.
Across the line he will be one of
a hundred brigand bands that rove
among the bills from Kashmir to
Chinese Turkestan. There every crim
inal is beyond the arm of the law.—

Machines A id Surgery
At the recent convention of the
American College of Surgeons at Chi
cago, Dr. Fred H. Albee of Netv York,
an authority on reconstruction:.! surg
ery, in telling about machine driven ,
surgical Instruments, said:
“ One of the best points about auto- ,
matic machine-driven surgical tools Is (
that they reduce the shock of opera- !
tlon, because of the speed. This mnv I
be exemplified by the fact that a man
when shot with a steel-jacketed, sw ift-1
ly moving bullet, often does not realize
he Is shot until the blood begins to {
flow. But when a man is shot with ,
a slowly moving, soft-nosed bullet, lie I
is knocked down, so violent Is the
shock.
“ The same thing applies In opera
tions when mallet and chisel are used.
There the shof'k Is vastly greater than
when the cutting instruments work
sw iftly and surely, cutting the bones
to a true slxe. Holes are cut to the
right slxe and dowels of living bone
are made to fit exactly."

The street was crowded with traffic;
the sidewalks tilled with children re
turning from school; and a contracting
company was busy digging foundations
for a new apartment house, says the
New Ycrk Sun and Globe. Suddenly
the drills ceased their noisy work. La-
borers ar. I diggers dispersed at a shout
ed command. Six with red flags shooed
away pedestrians, stopped Impatient
traffic with high pitched commands
and then took up posts of warning. A
blast was about to be set off.
Silence settled over the place and In
terest and excitement ran high. It was
going to be a big blast. The operator—
he whose duty Is was to fire the charge
— approached the detonator and waited
the signal of the foreman. It came—
a sharp command In Italian. The ope
rator depressed the detonator. Every
ooe waited, s o a r with Angers to their
ears. But nothing happened. Again he
tried. There waa no expioalon. A Ut
ter among the crowd of watchers was
followed by shouts of laughter as ex-
amination of the wires lending from
the detonator to the charge of dyna-
mite showed they bad not been nt-

A recent letter from the Del Monte Properties
Company, Del Monte, Calif., makes this point:
“ W e operate a fleet of twelve W inton cars in the
guest passenger service in addition to quite a fleet
of commercial type vehicles, ranging all the w ay
from Fords to five-ton Packard trucks, all of which
are lubricated with the Zerolene oils and greases
