An Aztec Grain. the Spanish conquest, finer than mustard seed, was made into paste for molding Into religious idols and was an important food in those times of scarcity of maize. This grain, known to the Aztecs as huauhtli, was among the tributes paid the by pueblos to Montezuma. The botanical identity of the seed was long unknown, but the collection of Dr. Edward Palmer in the states of Sineoia and Palisco included seeds of an- anaranthus. The plant was found both wild and under cultivation, a paste of the seed and sugar being, sold under the name of suale. Dr. W. E.

Granulated , Eyelids, i' Sore Eyes, Eyes Inflamed by Sun, Dnsfand Wind quickly Til i VEIt since man began to collect gold and jewels he has been engaged in designing and building strong boxes in which to keep them safely. Designing persons are always trying to secure what does not rightfully belong to them and there never has been a relaxation from the efforts to keep valuables from the reach of such unscrupulous persons. The result of the thousands of years of such efforts Is the modern safe deposit vaults. The history of mans efforts to retain possession of the gold and jewels he had accumulated is romantic and fascinating, from the time when he used to bury them to the present day. A local trust company has issued an attractively illustrated account 'of these efforts, which was gotten up for it and copyrighted by a Boston printing company. By their courtesy the following has been prepared: That burying treasure was once the ordinary method of concealment Is indicated by such references as appear in the thirteenth chapter of St. Matthew ; The kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field ; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. Syria and other eastern countries are said to be full of treasure burled before battles and never dug up. ?.No one can estimate the worlds buried treasure. As soon as America was discovered it was overrun with Spnnish adventurers attracted by stories of the buried treasure of the South American Indians. The aborigines of Columbia, the Chibchas, built mounds In memory of their dead and filled them with sacrificial stores of gold and jewels. The invaders secured immense booty from these mounds, and it Is said that one chief gave up treasure worth $18,000, another $20,000 worth in gold strips and stilt another $65,000 worth of emeralds and gold. But It was the booty from the sacred lake of Guatavita that the Spaniards most desired. At the great religious festivals on this lake it is said that offerings of gold, silver and gems were thrown into the water to appease the serpent reputed to dwell at the bottom. Although various efforts were made by Spaniards to drain the lake and secure the gold and gems it was not until seventeen years ago that an English company secured leased rights from Colombia and succeeded in draining off the water. It has been estimated that there are on the bottom of the lake 120,000,000 pounds of gold, however correct that may be. Many thousand dollars worth already have been recovered. Odd Hiding Places. Stories are told of other treasures hidden and never recovered, Including the $15,000,000 national treasure of Peru, then it Is pointed out that gradually man became aware that better protection must be afforded. The Egyptians concealed much in the soft walls and floors of their houses, probably to outwit the tax gatherers, who called not infrequently. The Egyptian had wooden chests for clothing and family, treasures, but they used them little for keeping gold and jewels. In Egypt the church and state were identical, and the crown Jewels and public revenue, as well as the sacrifilt cial offerings, were kept in the treasure houses within the temples, the only buildings in the country erected with durable materials. The earliest public treasury of which there is public record belonged to Rameses III, who is reputed to have reigned about 1200 B. C. It was a large stone affair and vaulted. The treasure was kept in clay vases with covers In theform of human heads. Among the temples with secret crypts was thp one of granite, at Edfu.

Apparently, contingents of the Russian fleet in all about twenty warships of various classes are bottled up In Moon sound, with a cordon of German warcraft barring their egress northward back into the Gulf of Finland or to the south into tho Gulf of Riga. Brave, but outclassed by reason of superior gun range and heavier ton nage, the Russians gave battle to the Germans and attempted to force back the enemy armada off Oesel island. Standing far outside the shell zone of the Russians, however, the guns of the German dreadnought sank the battleship Slava, a relic of the days beand so war fore, the Russo-Japabadly damaged other units that the Russian flotilla was forced to seek refuge in Moon sound lying between Moon island and the Esthonia coast. Immediately seeing their advantage the Germans, according to latest German official communication, began intensive operations against Moon Island, hammering its eastern shore batteries until they were silenced, and also attacking the Russian guns on the mainland, putting them out of action. Moon island was captured and the Russians took refuge inside the sound. Thereupon the Germans threw warships to the eastern part of Kas-sbay, lying to the north of Moon island, barring exit from the northern entrance to Moon sound, and also rushed contingents to the south of Moon island, apparently closing the passage to the south in the Gulf of n Ancient Greek Tre&'Sury built In 655 B. C. It guarded tne girts brought to the shrine. The state treasury of Athens was in the Opisthodo-moa chamber in the back part of the Parthenon, separated from the rest of the temple by heavy bronze doors. Once in four years inventories were taken of the contents of the treasure house. In 431 B. C. Pericles said that there were 6000 tons of coined money on the Acropolis. Savings in Thrift" Boxes. for guarding the Arrangements treasure in the sanctuary of Apollo at Delos were absurdly Inadequate in the earliest days. The Greek word for thief, toikorukos, means one who digs through the wall, suggests that premeditated burglary was not uncommon. Chests were the depositaries for valuables among the Greeks. Often they were very elaborate. The Romans evidently made considerable progress towards security, their locks being more efficient than any known to the Greeks. The Roman strong boxes excavated at Pompeii show that they were often of wood, iron bound, and fastened to a block of granite by rods. In Rome, as in Egypt and in Greece, the public funds were placed in temples for safe keeping. The state treasury of Rome, the Aeararium, was in the temple of Saturn. From Roman days to the present century the poor kept their savings in small thrift boxes receptacles of pottery holding from a pint to a quart with only one opening, a small slot. Savings could not be removed without breaking the receptacle. These pottery receptacles often took on odd shapes, pigs, cats, fish, etc. Modifications of the Roman strong box were used as treasure chests in all the countries of Europe during the middle ages and down into the last century. Puzzle locks were one of the developments of early days. When banking started in Florence in the thirteenth century and large sums of money began to be accumulated by the money lenders safeguarding of valuables became more imperative. Necessity began Invention and gradually, through the centuries, progress has debeen made toward vices and veritable strongholds in which to keep gold, silver and all valuables. Yet at the beginning of the nineteenth century strong boxes were not much more secure than those of several centuries before, though they looked more formidable with spikes and iron bands. No serious attempt had been made to secure fireproofing, but the Increase in paper money, bonds and stocks and other evidences of indebtedness written on paper made progress in fireproofing essential. The first attempt to secure real fireproof safes took place in France, where they were made with double walls, the space between being filled with materials. The First Safe Deposit Vaults. Successful burglaries and great conflagrations gave impetus to making safes stronger and brought about the first safe deposit vaults. It was a battle royal between burglars and safe and vault makers for years, but now the latter seem to have completely overcome the burglars. The highest skill of the safe maker is now devoted to making strong rooms or safe deposit vaults for banks, says the pamphlet. The early vaults were merely rooms of brick or masonry fitted with a safe door of large dimensions. The next step vrns to line these rooms with metal. Such s, safe-locki- vaults were possessed by many banks. The first public safe deposit vaults in the United States were built in 1865 for Col. Francis H. Jenks and were located at 140-- Broadway, New York. The lowest rental charged for these vaults was $20 a year. Two years later Col. Henry Lee built the Union safe deposit vaults, the first of their kind in Boston, at 40 State street. In 1871 there were six safe deposit companies in the country. At first only a small part of the public appreciated its need for the protection offered by these fireproof vaults. But the great Boston fire of 1872 proved an Impressive object lesson. Guarded by troops, the Union safe deposit vaults were a center of excitement. Frantic alarmed by the annihilation of property on every side, had to be forcibly restrained from taking possession of their valuables. After the fire was over it was found that properly con2 box-holder- ar Riga. Already the Germans have attempted to attack from the north into Moon sound, but the Russian guns have held them back successfully. VICTIMS OF ANTILLES INSURED. s, structed vaults preserved their contents unharmed, while safes of the very best make could offer no effectual resistance to the fire. This conclusion has been confirmed by every great fire, notably the fires of Baltimore and San Francisco. The structural strength of safe deposit vaults has been gradually increased to a point exceeding all possible demands upon It. A. vault made of solid plates of manganese several inches thick and nine feet square, so hard that it cannot be machined once It is cast, is encased in a concrete wall two feet thick. The vault rests upon a foundation especially prepared for it and is usually so constructed as to be entirely separate from the walls, floor and ceiling of the building in which It stands, so that it may be patrolled on all sides by watchmen who are on duty day and night. The structure of steel has thick double doors with Dependants of Each of Men Will Be Given $6,000. Washington. Under the provisions of the new soldiers and sailors insurance law, the treasury department has announced that although the men lost on the Antilles, sunk by a German submarine, had not, in the very nature of things, applied for government insurance, it would be paid to their families under the provisions ill-fate- d of the act. As all hands in the military and naval service who perished with the lost Antilles came within the scope of the new war insurance law, the treasury department announced that they au tomatically carried insurance to the amount of $6,000 each. This sum will be paid the families of the dead soldiers and sailors in monthly installments of $25 each over a period of twenty years. It is in addition to compensations which will be paid to widows, children and dependent mothers of the men. A widow, for example, will be paid $25 insurance and $25 compensation, a total of $50. While the $25 insurance is a fixed maximum, in cases where no application for insurance was made, the additional compensation varies from $20 for a motherless dependent child to a maximum of $75 for all dependents. complicated locks of which only one person knows the secret, or the secret may be divided between two or more persons, no one having the entire combination.
