MEXICO CITY, July 22.—La Viga is
a canal which penetrates Mexico City
from the foot of the mountains. I spent
yesterday afternoon strolling along its
banks, and have to confess that I was
much interested in the sights I wit
nessed. This insignificant ditch with
its slimy water Is as much a source of
delight to the Mexicans as the vast
M:ssi iippi Is to the inhabitants of Ar
kansas and Louisiana, and on Sundays
and rtiesta days its narrow bosom is
crowded with gaily decked merrymak
ers, who go Into ecstacle8 as they are
poled along by 1 the sturdy boatmen. I
went to the end of the canal at the lit
tle village of Ixtocal, which nestles at
the very bnse of the beetling mountain
and was thoroughly amuBed for

The canal is also used as a means of
conveying vegetables from the moun

daylight each morning it is freighted
with long barges loaded to the water’s
edge with the delicious products of an
hundred gardens. Along the canal are
built typical Indian palm huts and

La Plazuela.
I rose at 6* o’clock yesterday morning
and visited the city market or plazuela
with Mr. Stieble, for the purpose of do
ing our buying for the day. This is sit
uated in the filthiest portion of the
town, and the adjacent streets are
crowded yvith a populace half-naked
and drunken there disease feeds un
checked, and from morning till night
one "funebra" car closely follows an
other In gloomy succession. The mar
ket proper is a vast structure, about
twenty times as large ns the one at
Macon, and so continually thronged
with buyers and sellers that one has
much ado to make progress from stall
to stall. We found In the stalls deli
cious, fresh picked strawberries, lus-
ciuos tomatoes of magnificent dimen
sions, perfumed limes and oranges,
monstrous pineapples, numberless
mangoes, countless bananas, together
with every imaginable vegetable the
garden offers. These vegetables and
fruits are all ridiculously cheap, and
cne can make his table groan with del
icacies for a peso ($1-00) if he but
know the trick of haggling with the
stall-keepers. Then there are meats
and game and fish .to tempt the appe
tite of ft gourmot—mallard duck from
the china-blue waters of Lake Chapu-
la. .salt water fish from the ports of
Vera Crus and San Bias, delicate
squabs from the neighboring hacien
das, together with fat rabbits, tender
pullets, waddling geese, staggering un
der their grease and fat, and an hun
dred other things that go to excite to
the highest pitch the pleasurable long
ings of the inner man. We managed to
rick up two basketfuls of these tempt
ing delicacies, and fed yesterday as the
gods feed.
Maximillian’a Home.
Last week I managed to visit the vil
lages of Coyacan nnd flan Angel, re
turning to the city through Tacubaya.
At the first named plnce Is situated the
country home of Mnxlmllllun, while In
San Abgelotie one finds a wealth of re
ligious antiquities to revel in. Here the
portly priest rules supreme and the
hard-earned pittances of the ignorant
Indians fill his bulky paunch to burst
ing and stuff him to the very eyes with
nil the delicacies of the world—-the
grease rolls from his suave features,
und his pudgy fingers, dimpled cheeks
and husky voice suggest the death of
a thousand tempting dinners and the
desolation of many cellars of diamond
sparkling sherry and champagne. Oh.
he's a grand old man. this fat priest,
but his life on earth has been too fine
for him to ever enjoy heaven, »6 I ex
pect he will finally be consigned to the
other place.
Frequent Holidays.
In addition.to my Sundays, I am the
recipient of welcomeiy frequent holi
days. Every day in Mexico Is some
kind of a Fiesta day created In honor
of a martyred saint or national
achievement, and about once a week—-
sometimes twice—we have one of such
grave importance that all the places of
business close. This is all pretty pleas
ant, but I confess with a blush, that
although I have enjoyed no less than
five holidays daring the past month, I
do not know the Import of a single one
of them. The calendar which hangs
over my desk has an Inscription at
the bottom of each date giving the Im
port of the times, but I can’t make it

Death of Mrs. C. C. Burt.
The many friends of Mrs. Fannie

One year ago In June Mrs. Burt left
Macon one of the happiest and lov-

The Age of the Earth.
From tho Engineering nnd Mining
Journal.
In a recent lecture delivered before
the Royrt! Institute in London, Mr.
Ernest Rutherford has called attention
to a possible new phase of the problem
as to the earth's age. yrhlch has re
sulted from the study of radium and Its
prcpertles. It Is believed that radium
Is mutter—possibly primeval matter—
undergoing dissolution. Qther ele
ments, such as iron, copper and gold,
may have experienced a similar dis
solution in the Infinite pnst. or may
now l»e undergoing It. yet so slowly
that ‘the phenomenon cannot be per
ceived. In this process radium give*
oft an amount of energy unparalleled
elsewhere, thousands of times greater
than any chemical reaction, but there
is almost no diminution In the sub-
stnnco Itself.
Sir William Ramsey has shown thnt
the energy existing In a pound or two
of radium would probably continue to
manifest Itself for a period of r,0.000
pears. It Is known also that while
radium Is found nowhere in quantity It
Is widely diffused and may occur more
abundantly in the interior of the earth
than at the surface. Considering these
facts there Is some reason for assum
ing thAt the earth’s Internal heat may

of radio-active substance* The Im-
